• Notes

  Wrong information as to Hugh Morrison is now corrected from information that was sent from Martha Hemphill, Pres. U.E. regarding the Morrison family. It is recorded from Marriage notices page 44 in Canadian Watchamn, Kingston that" 11 Feb 1830: At York on Wednesday, 3rd Inst., Hugh Morrison, of Georgiana, to Frances, youngest daughter of Alexander Montgomery, Yonge Street." In a Biographical Notes page 118- History of Toronto, York County: "Hugh Angus Morrison, railway conductor was born in Toronto in 1830, being the youngest in a family of three daughters and one son. His father was Hugh Morrison, who was born in Scotland in 1798, and who after resigning his captaincy in the "Black Watch" Highland regiment, came to Canada in 1829 with Sir John Colborne. He was a widower with five children, his first wife, Mary Curran, having died in Scotland. The Honourable Justice Morrison is the eldest of his sons, by his first marriage; the others were Angus and Michael; the daughters were Betsy and Jeanette. After coming to Canada he married a daughter of Captain Alexander Montgomery by whom he had four children. He first engaged in farming, and subsequently kept a hotel on Yonge Street. The subject of this sketch has been engaged on railways for twenty-four years. He began as baggage man and is now a conductor running between Toronto and London. In 1863 he married Sarah Jane Ferris of Totonto. (Error in saying Frances was daughter of "Captain" Alexander as she was daughter of "Major" Alexander Jr.) M. Hemphill also sent a photo of the men who had been Mayors in Toronto, one was of Thomas D. Morrison, M.D., He does not seem to be any relation to Hugh & to the Montgomery line. Another Morrison may have come over about the same time Thomas Morrison was reported as Inspector of Hospitals in 1827 so must have come at an earlier date, probably from Scotland or United States. He was the Mayor in 1836 so could never have beeb tied with the Montgomery clan.
