Elizabeth Lougheed said that her grandfather’s wife, Miss Allen, died many years before him and that James married a second time. She did not mention the name of this second wife, but there are several reasons why we believe she was Jane Connor:

- The Wellington County Marriage Register 1858-1868 records a marriage on July 23, 1861 between Samuel Ellis, 30, of Caledon, and Sarah Lougheed, of Toronto Township, daughter of James Lougheed and his wife Jane Connor.

- A Sarah Lougheed, 20, is listed in Div. 3 of the 1852 Census for Toronto Township, but her residence is given as Ward 4, where the other Toronto Township Lougheeds lived. (The Census return for Ward 4 is missing for this year.)

- In the 1861 Census, both James Lougheed, 81, widower, and Sarah Lougheed, 25, are shown as living with the family of Allen Lougheed. (We know from other sources that Sarah was born January 1, 1830. She would have been 22 in 1852 and 31 in 1861, but then census ages are often inaccurate.)

- Sarah’s great-grandson, Frank Ellis Wickson, was told by his grandmother that his grandfather, John Allen Ellis, was a first cousin of Sir James Alexander Lougheed. As a boy, Frank Wickson several times met Jennie and Elizabeth Lougheed (Allen’s daughters) and was told they were relatives. His family also knew members of the family of Jane Lougheed Joyce.

James and Jane’s daughter Sarah was born 1 January 1830. She and her husband Samuel Alexander Ellis lived on Lot 2, Concession 2 East, Mono Township.
