My great-great-great-grandparents Alexander Park, Mary McDonald, Thomas Easton, and Mary McDonald Chambers came to Lanark in 1820 onboard the Prompt. My great-great-grandfather Daniel Harper came a few years later and his son Samuel Knowles Harper married Lillian Easton. My grandmother Rosemary Harper was born in 1876 in Lanark. I have a few old pictures of the property and people that I am prepared to share with you.
in Lanark, Ontario, 29 October 1909
Lillian Harper, Florence Deachman (Jack’s wife), Rosemary (Harper) Udell.
Many thanks for these – especially interested in the buildings. My ancestors, the Lummaxes and Leaches, arrived in 1819 on the Brig Maria……
The picture of the woman with her three children is not Lillian Easton, it is Rosemary (Harper) Udell and her three eldest children; John, Sam and Margaret. The picture was taken at Pleasant Valley Saskin about 1913.
