MY ANCESTOR Analysis Chart for My Ancestor: Daniel Currie Hill (name) What Do I Know About My Ancestor? Analysis and Conclusions 1. A Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants, vols. 1 & 2, lists 6 brothers and sisters of Daniel Hill: Agnes b. 6 Jun 1808; Alexander Jr. b. 1811; Mary b. 1 Jul 1812; John b. 26 Jan 1814; Archibald Newall b. 20 Aug 1816; Elizabeth b. 17 Sep 1818; 1. Daniel was the oldest child in a large family. He must have known how to work hard since the family came to a wilderness frontier area. 2. Daniel married Elizabeth Bryce in 1833. 2. Daniel Hill and Elizabeth Bryce were probably married in Lanark Co., Ontario. 3. A Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants, vol. 2. lists 3 Bryce families in Lanark Co., Ontario about this time who emigrated from Scotland. John Bryce, William Bryce, and Robert Bryce. 3. One of these men might be the father of Elizabeth Bryce. 4. Daniel, his parents and all his brothers and sisters moved to Tosorontio Twp., Simcoe Co., Ontario in 1835 or thereabouts. 4. The land they had in Lanark Co., Ontario must not have met their needs. They must have been able to get better land in Simcoe Co., Ontario. 5. A Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants, vol. 2 says he moved to Tosorontio Twp., Simcoe Co., Ontario in 1835. 5. I need to check the land records in Simcoe Co., Tosorontio Twp. to see when Daniel moved to Simcoe Co., Ontario. To print a copy of an analysis chart, click here.
