Anecdote |
- James McLaughlin was the fourth child of family that immigrated to Canada in 1832. He had been born in 1828 in Ireland. The family settled on what would be farmland approximately 4 miles west of Morganston the property has since been in the McComb family for many years and now, in 2004 members of that family still live there.
When James was 8 years old he was in Colborne- I presume with his father- and he was offered a job of assisting to drive cattle to Kingston- approximately 70 miles away.
It seems that this job was completed and he was sent back home- by foot and on his own. This would been in 1836 - when roads were mere wagon tracks through the rocks and trees.
At some point James arrived in Belleville and went to the market - I can only presume that it was in the fall of the year. No doubt the child was tired, hungry and lost. He was observed by one of the merchants and since he didn't know where he was going, this gentleman took him home with him. All I know is the man's name was Mr. Maybee and that he lived north of Belleville.
Thanks to this kind family, James stayed with them until he was 16 years old. Apparently the Maybee family came to visit someone in Codrington and James recognized that he was not too far from home.
He left the Maybees and started to walk and found his family. His mother saw him coming, recognized him immediately, and ran to him. I am sure there as great rejoicing.
This is not the end of the story. James returned to visit the Maybee family and married their daughter Phoebe. They lived in Hilton at some point on the property now owned (2004) by John and Frank Mutton, and I believe that is where my father Philip Elmo McLaughlin was born. James and Phoebe lived with my dad in the later years near Wooler. James died in 1912, and Phoebe in 1919 and are buried in McPhails Cemetary.
