Joseph's second wife was Ann Eynouf, a herbalist and a widow of
Stephen Eynouf. Herbalists were quite common in those days, with
no doctors or druggists around. The women were also well versed in
childbirth. The old gentleman, born in 1888, died on 9 Feb 1884,
age 96 years old and was buried on the homestead alongside his
first wife Sarah who died at age of 42 yrs. His second wife was also
buried there when she passed away. His son Joseph, born 1822,
moved to southwestern Ontario to a place called Exeter, north-west
of London. There he met a young lady, Jane Campbell born in 1822.
they married in 1850 and they moved to a place called Cargill, Ont.
He filled out an application in Toronto for his homestead which was
about a mile north of Cargill. They spent about three years completing
the terms of settlement. They went back to Toronto with two witnesses
to say they completed the terms of settlement requirement.
So now a problem with the name occurs!
