With the info I got from my great Aunt there is a little bit of written data about them. This is what it says James A. Joung and his wife Agnes with their sons and daughter emigrated to Canada in may, 1867. They settled on a tract of land (lot 15) which extended from the 1st to 2nd Con. Rds. in Mersea Twsp., Essex City., Ontario. East of Rd. 12. James had several brothers, 2- David and John also came to Canada, but did not settle in Mersea. Another brother went to Australia. James had backed a note for one of his brothers- the business failed and James was responsible for the debt. He had to sell his farm and Dairy business and being unable to live in the style to which they were accustomed, they emigrated. Built their house on the 1st conc. - their son, George Harvey, built his home later on the 2nd. Conc. on the same property. The story is told that George was named for a school master who left him several pounds of sterling. James borrowed this money to pay their passage to Canada, repaying George later. I'm sending another e-mail with more info. Kelly
