GREER/GRIER name_game@ca.on.ogs.families 2000-11 published
ROBERTSON : response
An article on the
SIMONS family (Ontario Historical Society Papers and
Records pp 470-492, vol. 23, 1926) contains an interesting statement that
is somewhat at variance with the information given in the query.
"Colonel (Titus
GREER/GRIER)
SIMONS had three daughters, but no sons.
The two elder daughters married two brothers, Messrs.
ROBERTSON,
Barristers, of Goderich, one of whom, Thomas, later was elevated to a
judicial position at Osgoode Hall in Toronto."
Marriage bonds exist for Alexander and Ross
ROBERTSON and their
respective
SIMONS brides, but there is a third bond for Thomas
ROBERTSON
and Charlotte
FISH, both of London, 1832, with bondsmen show as
Ira SCHOFIELD and William
ROBERTSON.
The names of these bondsmen certainly seem to connect this marriage bond
to the family mentioned in the query.
The 1857 Directory of the Province of Ontario shows Thomas
ROBERTSON,
barrister, residing in Dundas.

COULSON : (response)
Gravestone in St. James' Anglican Cem, Toronto :
Corry COULSON died 17 Feb 1848 aged 66y.
Also his adopted dtr Martha
COULSON died 4 Oct 1847 age 22 yrs.
From an obit in the Toronto Globe, 23 Feb 1848 :
At his residence, Berkeley Street, Toronto, on Thursday, 17th inst.,
at an advanced age, Corry
COULSON.
He was a native of Ireland, a connection of the family of
COULSON of
County Fermanagh, and emigrated to Canada about 30 years ago,
settling in Toronto.
Will of Corry
COULSON is found in the Home District Surrogate Court and
names : wife Elizabeth
COULSON alias
GRIFFIN and his son and dtr Robert
and Mary Jane, sister Irvine
DARLING and her dtr Mary Jane
WAINWRIGHT,

SPAUN/SPOHN :
SPRINGSTEEN/
STEAD/
STEED :(response)
There is a marriage record for this family that give Adelia
SPOHN's
maiden name as
WITHERAL, not
SPRINGSTEEN :
Elgin Co Mar Register, vol 2 page 41 :
Charles SPOHN, 23 of Saint Thomas, born Canada,
son of Peter L.
SPOHN and Delia
WITHERAL
married on 24 Jan 1866 to Selina
COLE age 23 of Saint Thomas, born England,
dtr of Samuel
COLE and Mary
ROCKEY.
They were married by Reverend George
CUTHBERTSON of Saint Thomas, Presb,
with Robert
CARRIE of Saint Thomas as witness.
The same mar reg shows the 1865 marriage of Wesley
SPOHN of Ancaster
(son of Philip) to Eliza
GRIFFIN of Sparta, so there was certainly some
movement of the
SPOHN family back and forth between the Ancaster and
Saint Thomas areas.
