Notes for JOHN H. BLAIR:
Barbara Bonner thinks John is probably brother to Mary Ann, wife of William, so I have assumed that to be correct in this genealogy. The 1851 census has him living with Grace, b. Ireland, widowed, age 72 (mother); and Mary, b. Canada, age 22 (in addition to his 21 yr old daughter, Mary )

Notes for JOHN NELSON GRIMSHAW:
Depending on the source, his birthdate was either 1817 or 1821, and his mother was either Roxie or Sentha, the latter being more likely! They moved from Huntingdon, PQ to Clinton, Clinton Co. NY about 1847. They may have had as many as 13 children. Barbara Bonner is convinced his mother is Sentha, based on baptism records she has seen.

She was born June 01, 1822 in Huntingdon, Quebec ¹³⁵, and died May 30, 1905 in Franklin Center, Quebec¹³⁵.

Notes for CHARLES WESLEY GRIMSHAW:
Charles bought about 40 acres of land in Champlain on the west side of Rte 276 from James and Annie Shaw in 1877. He subdivided the land and transferred a 32-acre parcel to his son William, which included the house directly across from the Bullis house. He transferred the remaining 8-acre parcel, which included the old Elias Hamilton house, to his daughter, Susanna. In 1897, he acquired another adjacent 30 acres from Elizabeth H. Maynard, which he also transferred to William.

Notes for LUCINDA M. COVEY:
The Pam Wood Waugh UFT Covey web page lists her as Enos' only child, b. June 1, 1822. Researcher James Covey has her death date as 8/10/1876 at Brome, PQ, but her tombstone says 5/1/1905. Recent evidence from Deb Covey-MacDonald leads to the conclusion (not proven) that Lucinda was the sister of Henry Covey, father of Adeline (Zephaniah Grimshaw's 3rd wife).

Notes for BARZILLAI GRIMSHAW:
1852 Census Hinchinbrooke, Beauharnous, Huntingdon Co., Que: With Zephaniah and Seneth, Grimshaw, Barsella, Farmer, age 22, Married, (Knox), Louisa age 17, Married. They moved to Clinton, Clinton Co., NY circa 1853, and were still living there in 1870 with eight children. From the booklet, "Town of Clinton" and Hurd's Hisory of Clinton Co., B. Grimshaw was elected constable of Clinton in 1879. From Barbara Bonner's "Other Grimshaw" file: "In a reference to Lucinda Grimshaw it states she is a sister of Bailey Grimshaw of Clinton, NY. Is there a possibility that Bailey is a derivative of Barzillai and therefore the same person? Bailey Grimshaw - Residing Clinton, Clinton Co., NY in 1882 is a brother of Lucinda E. Grimshaw who married Ezra Isham [From Isham Family Genealogy]."

Notes for LOUISA NOKES:
She is probably related to Sentha Noakes, but that remains to be proven.

Notes for ABIGAIL TOWNE KILEY:
From 7/29/00 email from Calvin Lamb: "I discovered that in your 1880 Census research you struck
GOLD! Now we can see how the Christine Bjerke branch is connected to our Grimshaws. Take a look at my _Grimshaw /Kiley web page in my Workshop category. Brazilla did take after his father, Zeph, because he had 6 more children with Abigail after 8 children with Louisa. I was hoping we could connect with Christine & you made it happen, Bill. Terrific!"
