John MORRIS was born on May 23 1851 in Scotland. He died on Dec 9 1920 in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada. He was buried in Brandon, Manitoba. He married Carrie Blanche WHITTON on Jul 29 1900 in Griswold or Souris Manitoba ®65.

_FA3: Date: 1920 Place: Buried at Brandon cemetery
John immigrated with his parents from Scotland about 1855. This would have to be fairly close to true as the Morris family are recorded in the 1871 census for Hullet TWp, Huron Co. Ontario and list John's brotherJames as being born in Ontario.
In 1871 James is 15 years old. 1855, however, conflicts with the date of immigration to Canada of 1880 shown on the 1901 census.When they arrived in Canada they first settled around Clinton, Huron County, Ontario. The Morris family farmed in this area. As the west began to open up John decided to try his luck at farming in Manitoba. He moved there in about 1888 as the
railway pushed through southern Manitoba. John and his father Alexander had obtained patents to homestead lands in 1885. His homestead was near the Town of Souris at Sw 34 Twp 8 Rge 22 W-1. He raised a family with his first wife Agnes Petch. It
is unknown for sure exactly what happened to her. Family stories have it that she had had enough of farm life and packed up and ran off with a travelling salesman, leaving John to raise his young family. According to the story told by Jack
Morris as heard from his aunt Agnes, John had a fight with the travelling salesman and had to grab the youngest child from Agnes as she rode off in the salesman's buggy.John married Carrie Blanche Whitton on 29 July 1900 in Griswold Manitoba. She came to Manitoba as a young bride with a young daughter by her first marriage, Maude Irene (Pearl) Lowery. Carrie Blanche and John had five children together. John
was a school trustee for a number of years and the Huntingdon School was actually built on a part of his father's land, that he later acquired after his father's death in 1902. When John's health started to deteriorate in 1919-20 he and Carrie
Blanche moved into Brandon so that he could get medical help. He died of stomach cancer in Dec. 1920. He is buried in the Brandon Cemetery as is Carrie Blanche.The exact year of his birth is not known as various sources place year of birth anywhere from 1851 to 1856. Records obtained in Manitoba give his date of birth as 23 May 1851. He likely was born in 1851 which coincides with age given in
obituary in 1920 (age 69) and with 1871 census which gives age as 19, making year of birth 1851 since census was taken before his listed day of birth of 23 May. He is listed as 2 years older then his sister Ellen who was born in 1853.--Other Fields

Mr and Mrs James Whitton arrived in Canada from England about the year 1839, and settled in Glenburnie, near Kingston. They came to Seymour about 1849 and kept what they called "Whitton's Inn" on the farm of the late Andrew Watson, now owned by
Mr and Mrs John A Murray. Shortly after this they moved to the farm betwen the 6th and 7th concession. The house was rough cast, three storey, with an underground basement, used for a summer kitchen, and also a room for a cheese vat where Mrs
Whitton, along with a Miss Bradgley, made the first cheese made in Northumberland County. The cheese grew in popularity and a group of investors headed by Mr Whitton, William Hume, and James Clough, with Mrs Whitton as the managing director,
formed a company and moved the cheesmaking operation to a small factory which was called the Burnbrae Cheese Factory. The factory expanded to Hastings County and a new factory was built at Wellman's Corners and James Whitton Jr. was named the
first manager of that factory. The cheese business fell on hard times and couldn't secure a constant source of milk supply at a price that would allow them to be profitable so the operation was discontinued. Mrs Whitton continued to produce a
fine brand of cheese in the basement vats until 1880 when the Wellman's Corners factory reopened. James Whitton Jr. was secured as head cheesemaker. He later went on to become the Dairy Instructor for the Ontario Department of Agriculture.
Cheese from this factory won many provincial and National awards. One such award was a gold capped and engraved ebony walking stick which is still in the possession of the Whitton family at the home of James Whitton in Euphrasia Township.
About 1883 Mr Whitton sold his farm to the late John Glassford, of Kingston, and moved to Campellford. Part of the family received their education in a log school, situated at the east corner below Burnbrae Church, on the north side of the
road. The rest of the family were educated at the old stone school in Burnbrae, between the sixth and seventh concessions. This school was later burned down. Mr and Mrs Whitton were apparently swindled out of the first farm they bought after
landing in Canada. There is some confusion as to whether that farm was near Kingston or in Quebec.1 HEAL --Other Fields 1 HEAL _FA1: Date: NOV 1887 Place: Buried @ Burnbrae\St Andrews Presb. Church Cem. Seymour Twp. Northumberland Co.
