It all started with Robert and Hannah Parr.
They brought their young family to Ontario, Canada about 1834. The (known) children were Lucy,
David,
George, Emma,
Mariah, Harriett,
and
Frederick - all born in England - with their
last child born in Upper Canada (Ontario) - Mary Ellen.
They settled in Mosa Township, Middlesex
County, Ontario during 1842. (Just north of Wardsville, about halfway between Chatham and London, Ontario).
The research being completed follows the lines of son David (1821-1909) (married Jane Duke
Johnson), daughter Mariah (1829-1898) (married Robert Tunks),
Harriett (1832-1904)(married Jerome Toles) and
son Frederick (1833-1900) (married
Jane Whiting).
