Now that I have read more of the oral history I see that it was written by young Caleb's half-sister from Caleb senior's second marriage.
The second youngest son of the six sons of Henry was Caleb, who first married Louisa Elizabeth Harris 1853 in England...(who died of consumption in Canada) He married Elizabeth Boorman in England in 1868 ..moved to U.S. for a time, then back to Canada...

following the link in Reply # 35 above to the immigration to Canada board...there is more on the family in Canada.  J.J.

Just found this site and registered.

John Southon and Jane Findley were my great great grandparents I have copies of some of the relevant documents which I will transcribe later.

John married Jane (of Albany, NY) in Cobourg Canada and arrived in Australia in 1853 as noted with his two brothers. A lithograph of the 1853 "Kent" is available. They and their siblings were not left a large sum by their late grandfather Stephen (they were sons of his dead younger son), most of the family lands went to his eldest son, Stephen jnr.

The Canadian book referenced is not entirely accurate.

Martha, if you look on immigrants to Canada you will see a long threadabout the Southon brothers and possible links for finding information. Poppyann
