Person:Samuel White (83)

Samuel came from England to settle in Beaver Valley, Grey County, Ontario, Canada with some of his brothers and sisters. They sailed from Hull, England on March 14, 1844 and spent four years in the Gore of Toronto before settling in Collingwood Township, Grey County, Ontario.

In 1852, Samuel and Mary were living in a single story log house in Collingwood township. He was a farmer. Both Samuel and Mary were born in England.

Census records show Samuel and Mary were Wesleyan Methodists. In the 1851/2 census, Samuel was shown as age 31 and Mary as age 26. They had a 100 acre farm of which in 1851, 15 acres were under cultivation, the rest in wood or wild. Two acres were in wheat, a quarter acre in Oats, three quarters acre in Indian corn, one quarter acre in potatoes, and one quarter acre in turnips. They produced 15 pounds of wool, had 2 bulls or oxen, 2 milk cows, 3 calves, 4 sheep, and 6 pigs. They also produced 50 pounds of butter and 4 barrels of pork.

The Ontario 1861 census shows the White's living in Collingwood Township as before. There are now four children listed, Mary Ann, Mamon (as the census spelled it), Martha and Susan. One new piece of information is supplied. There is a column for marriage year in the 1861 census. This is frequently not filled in but for the Whites it showed a date of 1848.

In 1868, he died at the age of 47, leaving his widow and six surviving children.
