On April 6 th 1844 a family con
sisting qt father, mother- and sev
en children, went on board a
steam -packet engaged in the Coast
trade -of England ut the town of
Gool in Yorkshire. They were on
their way to seek out for them
selves a new home in the then
comparatively unknown parts of
America. ,They took passage from
Hull, in the “Stentor”, bound for
Quebec. They sailed round the
North of Scotland, met adverse
winds and the voyage was prolong
ed much beyond that for which
provision was made for the famil
ies of the passengers and for the
crew. It was three months from
the date of sailing to the date of
landing.
For two years William Beavers
and family lived on a farm near
Toronto, then called Muddy York.
In the fall of 1846 they moved to
the Township of Blanshard which
was being opened up by the Can
ada Company. They settled on lot
16 conscession 4, where the fath
er livqd for only three years. He
was a man of sturdy frame who
found his strength greater than
any demands there had been made
upon it, but found many unexpect
ed demands, which he could not
meet. He left the mother whose
maiden name was Sarah Clarkson,
with a family of 9 children, the
youngest only 7 months old, to
clear up and pay for a bush farm,
and to make their “own way in the
world. He was buried in .the cem
etery where the log Wesleyan
Church had been built -on the Mit
chell Road, Blanshard.
‘ They were devout Methodists
and their home was the first to
invite and open the dooi- to the
Minister of ’the Gospel in that
community. The first public school
was built on their farm lot
