They were the first silk manufacturers in the British Ern- pire. In 1775 John Jacques and his.faMily emigrated from England to America, settling in New Bruns- wick, near Moncton. The elect son, John Jr. came wit" his family to Woodstock. In this family were two brothers, John and Chipman, who came to' Howick Township..- Chiprrian took up Lot 9, Con. 2; John settled on Lots 16 and 17, Con. 13,- about 1859 at the age of 24, this being one of the few farms'in Howiek still, in the same name, According to the Crown Deed he paid $150,00 for each Ter- cel, It is told that Mr, Jacques built himself a shanty and then returned to Woodstock for more supplies. When he returned the Indians had burned his shanty, making it ne- cessary to rebuild. • In February, 1861 he was mar- ried to Margaret Ann Nay, and to them were born eight daughters and five sons; two of these sons died in infancy, Members of the family were Robert, who died in infancy; Mrs. Russell' (Rachel) Harris; Mrs. Robert (Litibiel Gra- ham; Mrs. William (Esther) Andi- son; Mrs. Charles (Nancy) Harris; Mrs. George (Margaret) Hubbard; Mrs. Robert (Ida) Ashton; Mrs. Albert (Mary) Gallaher; Elsie, Wil- liam J., Rev, Ernest and Edgar W. ;Jacques, all of whom are deceased. The present house of stone, was built in 1869. It is worthy Of note that there were four other stone houses built about the same time within a radius of approximately one mile. After Mr. Jacques death 'in 1905 the family carried on and in 1912 the farm was taken over by his son, William, who continued to op- eiate it until his death in 1938. His son, Lloyd, took over the owner- ship at that time and is still op- erating the farm.
