from Belfast, Ireland, a son' ` of
William McWhinney and his wife
Nancy •McIlw ain McWhinney,
came to this country. On April
18, 1840, in company with his
wife, Isabella Kirkpatrick Mc-
Whinney and young son, Andrew,
he sailed for Canada, coming by
way of the St. Lawrence River
to Hamilton, and, by wagon to
Goderich. The • journey frori Ire-
land to Goderich covered a per-
iod of 72 days. For a short time
they resided with a brother-in-
law; -William Johnston of Goder-
ich Township, and soon a claim
Was, filed on lot 11, concession 1,
Ashfield Township, then' a dense
forest but where a concession
line had been surveyed. Two
years later the McWhinney .fam-
ily Moved to their new home car-
rying , their household effe•.ts
over a blazed trail of half a mile.
Here Mr -and Mrs. McWhinney
labored to clear • the forest land
and establish a comfortable home
(famed for its hospitality.' ' The
farm now owned by Harold Mc-
Whinney has been in continuous f.
possession of a McWhinney. They
carried their butter:and eggs nine,;
Miles to Goderich .-and traded-
them
radedthem for groceries. They al -.40
walked this same road -to church.
