Physician and informant Richard Orton, M.D., Morriston Post Office. According to the inscription on Andrew's gravestone, he is buried with an infant daughter, Margaret, who died September 5, 1873, age 14 days. Land records for Andrew and Janet have yet to be researched, but looking at Andrew's and Janet's death registrations, it's obvious that they must have resided within a short distance of the village of Morriston. Puslinch is a large township. It appears to have three separate surveys. There were several Stewart families in Puslinch. The name is sufficiently common that they may not have been connected, but, if they were, they weren't the first family to have connections in both Puslinch and Dumfries Townships. |
