Could you reply to me at
irischapman@aim.com I have a lot of descendents of John's side of family from one of his descendents. A lot of Forsyth info as well. didn't find you on my charts though.
I had been in touch with a number of relatives on Manitoulin island and visited John's homestead there. Seen Mary Palmers grave and spoke to the person who had driven hearse and he gave me some family stories, including stories about John.
The person diving hearse was 14 yrs old at time and about 91 when I spoke with him.
My mother is Ruth Katherine Blackie, (daughter of Frederick, son of James)who is still alive and doing well.
