Despite being granted land up near Georgian Bay, the Goodmurphies settled near the Village of Wellington, Ontario. I wonder if this was because the land up north was completely uncleared and in 1822 there was no village or settlement. Captain John had been educated as a Lawyer. He enter military service due to his mother’s death after the 1798 Rebellion at Wexford.
I got this red vinyl tavern chair at the Scoharie Furniture Barn. I was thinking about Inns and taverns because Captain John’s address is listed as Cooley’s Hotel on Colborne Street in classified ads from in the Hallowell Press.
