Hi
I've been looking through some of my 'bits and pieces'
I'm trying to trace what happened to some of my Canadian cousins after August 1902. I have an Indenture of a sale of land in Medora, Muskoka, Ontario of this date.
The cousins are - Alexander McTaggart Burgess, Medora, physician and Thomas Burgess, sawmiller, of Medora. The indenture was also signed by another cousin William Burgess, barrister at law, of Port Elgin, Ontario ( I have information on William's line).
Alexander and Thomas were the sons of Thomas Burgess, who had recently died. (death - 27 April 1901)
The land was sold for 75 dollars to a George Hinton, Toronto, Inspector of the City Dairies.
