Description: Jacob and Susannah (Smith) Maw are my g-g-g grandparents My G-G grandmother Mary Maw married my G-G GRANDFATHER Henry Holmes Jacob and susannah were supposedly buried in Mc Brayne cemetery in McKay's Corners which seperates Howard and Harwich Townships Mc Brayne is on the Harwich side many of the gracestones there are destroyed and/or unreadable likely Jacob's and susannah are one of those The only Maw stone readable is Charlotte Wife of Thomas Maw My g-g grandparents are buried in the Botany cemetery on the Howard township side of Mc Kay's As well as John and Milcah (Maw) Galbraith. Milcah is the sister of Mary There is Also many Maw relations there Thomas Maw etc etc the Clarks and Holmes Maws Spences and Galbraiths and Mc Kays are ALL related through marriages of their descendents and siblings and such I am still working on ALL the families but if you would like info on Henry and Mary (Maw) Holmes I am the one to ask. ALL these families were pioneers to the! Harwich Howard Townships Mc Kay's Corners is now pretty much a ghost town and Mc Brayne cemetery pretty much abandoned I would be grateful for any info and pics of the Maw family As I am grateful lor this site I hope to be able to ADD to it with my lineage ty Terry

Description: I apologize for so many suggestions This website is absolutely Awesome I only had our Maw family traced to 1645You have filled on sooooo many holes I am truly grateful!! I have the Gravestone of My great great grandparents Henry and Mary(Maw) Holmes where should I submit I still have not found a Nancy but Mary's middle name is Nancy so could be the same person|? I will keep looking for the census and records here in Canada I can also fill in Most of Jacob and Susannah's descendents TY again for your research it has helped me tremendously!

Comments: Hello I am a descendent of one of the Maw Family that Came to Canada Other than my direct lineage from Jacob and Susannah (Smith) Maw my g-g-g grandparents and before Thomas and Sarah(Sanderson)Maw my g-g-g-g grandparents and so on back to Thomas Maw and wife Dorothy maiden name unknown I could be of some help to you concerning the descendents of Jacob and Susannah that came to Canada ;) I grew up in Blenheim Ontario near McKay's Corners which is located in between Howard and Harwich Townships which are pretty close in Fact some of the Maws lived on The Howard side and some on the Harwich side also Some in Bothwell ontario also near where I grew up I am now in Windsor Ontario Canada which is still only about an hour away Most of my Holmes Family still live in Blenheim Chatham and Bothwell pretty much in the Raleigh Howard and Harwich Townships I did not find my G-G grandma Mary on your site but All of her Canadian brothers and sisters are on your site ;0 The earli! est pioneers of McKays were the Maws Clarke Holmes Galbraiths and McKays Corners which was known as simply Harwich before Alexander McKay moved his business to the corners in 1840s All these families were there in the 1850s and I am in one way or another related to All of them through my Holmes/Maw lineage I see A Nancy Maw on your site Born 1850 but I Have not found a Nancy yet here in Canada. I do have ALL the others in my family history Milcah Jacob and Thomas you have a blank Maw in the family which could be Thomas and also your Nancy could be my G-G grandma Mary she was born January 2nd 1852 and her birthplace unknown but parents were from Lancanshire England ;) I have curiously not done a whole lot of research on my Maw family line since starting my Children's family research in 1992 when my oldest child was born. Likely my reason for that is because my grandfather already had our lineage back to 1656 ;0 given to Him by a cousin William Maw ;)So I was content with tha! t info. But often times when I hit a roadblock on my Ancestors! I then try to find as many of the descendents of those ancestors I started doing more research Jacob and Susannah just this weekend Oddly enough. I took several pictures of Gravestones at Mc Kay's corners which is sadly now pretty much an abandoned sublet ;( Not many business remain open and or for sale ;( Sad because apparently it was booming back in the 1850s 60s 70s 80s My Holmes great grandfather James and my grandfather Uriel and my Dad William were ALL born and raised in McKay's My G-G-G grandfather Henry was one of the youngest of 13 children of Jabez and Rosanna(McLaughlin) born in Chatham Ontario the Holmes family owned and operated several grist mills in Chatham.In 1853 Jabez and 6 of his children moved to The area now known as McKay's corners. He started some combo Saw and Grist Mills there,Sadly many mishaps happened to the Holmes Family;( Jabez Himself was killed by a board that flew from a saw and one of his sons was killed when a log rolled on him When Henr! y was young he fell in love and married Mary Maw who also in later years owned and operated the popular corner store They had 9 children their first being named after her grandmother Sarah I have several documents and Info from My extensive research on my Children's lines go back to the 1600s of course I can't do as we ALL know without the help of other genealogists and cousins ;)I have boxes and boxes of info pictures and books of ALL most of their lines Long story short we can help each other I am hoping that the only reason you dont have ALL the info on our Canadian Maw family is because you are from England. If so I am having alot of trouble with many of my ancestors from England so we can help each other I will just give you my e=mail and stay in touch We are experiencing a sever Thunderstorm right now and the power is flickering ;( So I will just give you it now Terry Holmes E-MAIL homer1161@yahoo.com ty hope to hear from you I do have pictures of gravestones of peop! le you have on your site etc and have access to many cousins and resorc! es and could get as much info as you would like on our Canadian MAW family ;) Let me know which Maw line you are descended from and I what you would like ty
