Good Morning! Today we’re beginning
to look into some of the entries in the Blacksmith Ledger. The names in this
ledger will give us insight into who lived in the area at the time and what
some of their lives may have been like. As we look into the ledger if you
recognize any names, or have any further knowledge about these people please
feel free to contact us and let us know.
The First entry is dated November
12th, 1867, and is addressed to George Matheson. According to the
book the Early History of Dunwich
Township, Matheson would have been a teacher on the George Gun farm around
1831-1842. Following this period, an 1842 Heads of Household and Occupations Census
concludes that Matheson was a shoe maker. This would support the entries in the
blacksmith ledger.
This is all we know about Mr. Matheson, if you have any further information about this entry please feel free to stop in or give us a call! Have great week everybody, and we will see you all next Tuesday!
Mon :)
