Notes for Thomas Robert & Margaret (Family)
The marriage of Thomas and Margaret is recorded in the Simcoe County Marriage Register (1858-1869), vol 1 p. 51:
“Thomas, 26, of Innisfil, born Ireland, s/o Thomas & Mary
m. Margaret Armstrong, 18, of Innisfil, born Ireland, d/o Robert & Anne
7 March 1860 by Rev. Edward Morgan
witness: Thomas Lougheed Sr. of Barrie”
At the time of the 1861 Census for Muskoka, Thoma, 28, and Margaret, 21, were living there with a son Thomas Robert, 1. James Lougheed, a brother, was living with them.
Later, perhaps around 1878, Thomas and Margaret moved to Manitoulin Island where they were recorded in the Township of Billings and Campbell (page 23) in the 1881 Census:
“Thomas Lougheed 44 farmer Wes. Methodist
Margaret Lougheed 40
Thomas R. 20
Mary Ann 17
James 13
William 11
John 9
Simon 7
Margaret 5
George 3
Albert 11 months, born in June”
Margaret Lougheed had a little store on their farm. She and Thomas ran the post office from 1902-1906. Known as “Grandma Lougheed,” Margaret acted as mid-wife and assisted at the birth of many babies.
Grimsthorpe Cemetery is on Lougheed property, and their own son was the first to be buried there.
