William Nash

  General Notes:

In 1870 they lost all the buldings in the great fire that swept the western part of the county. They saved their lives by going into the river, probably driving their stock ahead of them. They put up a shack of sorts till a new log house could be built. This house and the barn built later are still standing, as of 1999.

At the time of the 1861 census they were living in Torbolton Touwnship and there is reason to believe that it was on the
south half of Lot 2, Concession 6, though this was not transferred from Grierson to Nash until 1884.

  Marriage Notes:

Mary married Johnnie Monaghan, James married Nellie Barnes and moved out of the area.
