• Notes

  Christened on 27 August 1820 in Wilton, Roxburghshire, Scotland. All but two of James and Agnes children were born in Scotland and are in the Cavers or Teviothead Parish lists. Cavers was a large parish -long and lean. Teviothead Parish was formed out of it - on the westerly end- so the family, although they did not move, were born in two different parishes. The family came to Canada in 1857 and settled near Harriston Ontario. James Fulton 1860 Helen Fulton 1866 I haven't been able to locate birth records for James or Helen. Jamesis with the family  in the census of 1861 and Helen in 1871. Our family story is that the two oldest sons George and William camewest in 1873. Their route was through the US to Moorhead MN? and thenriverboat to Winnipeg and walk to Portage. They liked what they saw. William has written that he has lived continuously in the area since so I assumethat George carried the report back to Ontario. The homestead here wasfiledin 1874 and the family occupied it in 1875. Bill Irwin's grandmother(Helen) told her children she could remember the crunch of grasshoppersunderwagon wheels on the journey from Winnipeg to Portage.
