Profile: Isaac Amos Williams [1820-1886] and Caroline Seymour Sanders [1826-1896]
Isaac Amos Williams was born 11 October 1820 in Gloucestershire, England [D01545] the first-born child of Thomas Williams and Sybil Foxwell. He was baptized 5 Nov 1820 in Bristol, Gloucestershire. He grew up in Gloucestershire, and moved with the rest of the family to Liverpool around 1841 and then to Canada, eventually settling in Guelph, Wellington County. In Guelph, Isaac worked as a brewer in his father’s firm of Williams & Taylor along with his younger brothers and brother-in-law [D04285].
Caroline Seymour Sanders was born 13 September 1825 and was baptized 15 March 1826 in Bathwick, Somerset, England [D03874]. She was the daughter of John Arnold Sanders and Fanny Hippisley [D03874]. It is not known when the Sanders family emigrated to Canada but they had definitely arrived in Canada by the 1850s as Isaac Amos Williams and Caroline Seymour Sanders were married on 21 October 1850 at St. George’s Anglican Church in Guelph [D04283].
Isaac and Caroline remained in Guelph and they had their first children while living there. Their first daughter, Jane Emily Williams was born 23 November 1851 [D04285] followed by their second, Fanny Sophia Williams on 27 March 1853 [D04846, D04848, D04849]. Three more daughters would follow: Kate Julianna Williams born 4 December 1854 [D05337], Amy Seymore Williams born in 1856 [D03763, D03788, D03789] and Edith Mary Williams born 4 July 1858 [D05008]. It wasn’t until their sixth child that that they had their first son, George Williams, in 1860 [D03763, D03788, D05091].
By 1861 the family was still living in Guelph, but Isaac had left the brewing business and had moved into farming [D03763]. By 1862, however, the family had moved to Mount Forest, also in the County of Wellington, where they would remain for the next ten year. In Mount Forest, Isaac and Caroline’s last three children would be born: Elizabeth Williams was born on 25 November 1862 [D03788, D03789], Frederick Amos Williams was born on 9 April 1865 [D03788, D03789, D06182] and Edwin Lawrence Williams was born in 1868 [D03788, D03789].
The family moved to Port Perry, Ontario County in the mid 1870s [D04846] before moving on to Lindsay, Victoria County [D03789] where Isaac would live for the rest of his life. In Lindsay, Isaac worked as a bookkeeper for a Mr. Blackwell [D05448, D05469] and was employed by the Ontario Government as a sessional writer in the winter [D05469]. He also worked as a librarian at the Mechanics’ institute in Lindsay [D05467, D05469].
On the evening of 28 December 1885 Isaac was working at the Mechanic’s Institute. He was making his rounds and about 8:30 in the evening a noise was heard from the hallway. The two men who were in the reading room at the time, Dr. DeGrassi and Mr. J. Kennedy heard the noice, but didn’t think anything of it, thinking that it was the caretaker bringing up wood. The two left the reading room about nine o’clock in the evening and found Isaac lying at the foot of the stairs. The two tried to pick him up but found that he was dead with a wound on his right temple, his left thumb was broken and he had bruises all over his limbs. He had likely died instantly having fallen head first down the stairway and dying from a concussion [D03762, D05467, D05469].
A well-attended funeral was held for him on Wednesday 30 December 1885. The directors of the Mechanics’ institute all attended [D05469]. He was buried at Riverside Cemetery in Lindsay [D05469, D06182].
After the death of her husband Caroline Williams moved in with her daughter and son-in-law, Fanny and Lewis Dyer in Uxbridge, Ontario county [D05263]. She herself would pass away at the age of 70 on 7 April 1896 [D05298, D05446, D05471, D05470] and is buried in Riverside Cemetery in Lindsay with her husband [D06182].

Analysis: Birth info Mary Louisa Leach Douglas
Details/Background:
Different dates of birth have been found for Mary Louisa Leach (Douglas) ranging from 1863 to 1868. No records earlier than 1871 (i.e. baptism record or news articles) have been found.
Analysis:
| Ref | Desc. | Birth Date Given | Notes |
| D01236 | 1871 Census | Abt. 1864 | Age 7 in 1871 |
| D01334 | 1881 Census | Abt. 1865 | Age 16 in 1881 |
| D00838 | Marriage record | Abt. 1864 | Age 23 on 27 Dec 1887 |
| D00769 | 1891 Census | Abt. 1865 | Age 26 in 1891 |
| D01952 | Death Notice | Abt. 1864 | Age 32 on 26 Feb 1896 |
| D04954 | Gravestone | 20 October 1863 | Possibly 1868 |
| D01131 | Burial Record | Abt. 1864 | Age 32 on 26 Feb 1896 |
The gravestone inscription is difficult to read: it could be 1863 or 1868. A date of birth of 20 October 1863 would be consistent with the death notice and burial records, which would have been from about the same time. Her next oldest sibling was born about 1857, so a birth date of 1868 would be very unlikely.
Five of the records [D01236, D01952, D01131, D04954, D00838] are consistent with a birth date of 20 October 1863.
The remaining two are census records [D01334, D00760] and are only off by a year. The oldest census record is consistent with a date of birth of 20 October 1863.
Conclusion:
The most likely date of birth for Mary Louisa Leach Douglas is 20 October 1863.

William W. Jackson and the Orillia Steam Brewery
In my research on Thomas Williams and the Orillia Brewery I came across this interesting story about William W. Jackson and his time running the brewery:
William W. Jackson and the Orillia Steam Brewery
At some time in the 1860s, Thomas Williams partnered with a man named George Jacques and the two leased out the brewery on 4 October 1865 to a man named William W. Jackson [D05652].
A few months after starting his lease on the Orillia Brewery, W.W. Jackson announced an agent in nearby Barrie to take orders [D05676]. He advertised beer for 20 cents per gallon, a pale bitter ale at 25 cents, a champagne ale at 30 cents and two varieties of London porter at 25 cents and 30 cents [D05676].
A few years after W.W. Jackson took over operations of the brewery, however, he ran into some problems with the local newspaper, the Orillia Expositor.
It started in May of 1869 when the Expositor reported that Jackson's brewery had been seized by the government in June of 1868 for not having paid duty on his malt [D05673]. The article reported that this incident had been covered up and that Jackson had been allowed to continue his operations despite not having paid the outstanding duty [D05673].
David Morrow, the inspector of revenue at the time, wrote a letter to the Expositor to explain that while he had initially found that duty had not been paid on the malt, further investigation found that the duty had, in fact, been paid. Furthermore, according to Morrow, the brewery's business had never been suspended during the investigation [D05673].
Although the letter from the former inspector seemed to have cleared his name, that didn't stop Jackson from firing back at the Expositor, writing a letter of his own. In it, he refers to the newspaper as "that scurrilous little sickly Scotch sheet, known as the Expositor" [D05865] and stated that:
These letters clearly riled up the editors of the Expositor who responded with a scathing article of their own. In it, they refer to Jackson as "the local Beau Brummel" and point out that in his letters he never actually refutes a single statement made by the Expositor [D05865]. According to the editors of the Expositor, Jackson was allowed to continue his operations due to the government's leniency rather than him actually having paid duty on the malt [D05865].
In response to Jackson's "it is not the practice of gentleman…" comment, the editors had their own advice for Mr. Jackson, informing him that:
As to what actually happened - whether Jackson had paid the duty and was falsely accused by the Orillia Expositor or he was let off easily by the government - the truth may never be known. But we do know that Jackson kept operating the Orillia Steam Brewery at least into the 1870s.

"it is not the practice of gentlemen to enter into a newspaper controversy with puppets, and especially one who will at any time suffer himself to be moulded into the shape of an 'ass' for the purpose of pleasing that clique of rowdy and hypocritical editors to which he undoubtedly belongs" [D05865]Then, in another letter to the Barrie Examiner Jackson implied that the editors of the Expositor would be in high appreciation of the government's attempts to shut his brewery down. [D05673]
These letters clearly riled up the editors of the Expositor who responded with a scathing article of their own. In it, they refer to Jackson as "the local Beau Brummel" and point out that in his letters he never actually refutes a single statement made by the Expositor [D05865].

"it is not the practice of gentlemen to attempt to defraud the Government by making false returns, and incorrect statements; it is not the practice of gentlemen to in any way be guilty of a breach of honour; it is not the practice of gentlemen to go about dressed like a tailor and hair-dresser's walking advertisement, while the tailor and hairdresser are unpaid; it is not the practice of gentlemen to contract debts they do not intend to pay, unless compelled to in a court of law; it is not the practice of gentlemen to assume supercilious airs of superiority in their intercourse with others" [D05865]
As to what actually happened - whether Jackson had paid the duty and was falsely accused by the Orillia Expositor or he was let off easily by the government - the truth may never be known. But we do know that Jackson kept operating the Orillia Steam Brewery at least into the 1870s.

Update on X00298: John Williams Brewing History
I posted recently about X00298 and researching John William's history as a brewer. While I haven't looked into the Brampton or Owen Sound breweries I have looked more into the possibility of him operating a brewery briefly in Flesherton. Unfortunately, the findings don't give any positive results either way. Here's what I've found:
So, the next step it seems is to check the newspapers around at the time to see if anything is said about the brewery. The only newspapers that I am aware of in Grey County at the time are in Durham and Owen Sound. I've checked the Durham newspapers but couldn't find anything. Will need to check the Owen Sound newspapers next.
- There is a John Williams living in Flesherton in the 1861 and 1871 census, but his occupation is not listed as a brewer in either census and his background is Dutch.
- The John Williams of Flesherton is mentioned and profiled in the book Split Rail Country but brewing is not mentioned.
- The 1865-66 directory for Grey County did not mention any brewery for Flesherton.
- No John Williams a brewer was found in any reference books or reference files for Breweries/Wineries/Distilleries in Grey County
- No trace of a brewery was found on old maps of Flesherton or Markdale.
So, the next step it seems is to check the newspapers around at the time to see if anything is said about the brewery. The only newspapers that I am aware of in Grey County at the time are in Durham and Owen Sound. I've checked the Durham newspapers but couldn't find anything.

Update on X00256 - Thomas Williams born 1827
A few weeks ago I posted about X00256 and the mystery of what happened to Thomas Williams (born 1827, son of Thomas Williams). Since then I have a few updates on this X-File.
First, in search for a death record, I have ruled out two death records that I've found. One of them was for a Thomas Williams who died in 1874 in Osprey Township, Grey County [D03741]. The year of birth was correct (about 1827) but the location didn't make much sense, and the individual's occupation was a marble cutter. Also add on the fact that I've found this Thomas Williams in documents later than 1874 [D01432, D03878, D03880, D05680], I've ruled it out.
I've also ruled out another death record from 1908 [D05655]. While this one was from Simcoe County, the location was still off from Orillia, the parents names don't match John Williams and H Gunnerson vs Thomas Williams and Sybel Foxwell [D00026]), the occupation is farmer, and the date of birth is off (2 Oct 1828 as opposed to the known date of 15 Mar 1827 [D00026]).
I've also ruled out a land ownership record from the County Atlas Project showing a Thomas Williams living in Tecumseh Township in 1880. A number of things do not match, but most importantly, I've found that some Thomas Williams in other records at the same time as our Thomas Williams is in Orillia.
Fortunately, however, there has been some good news. The Orillia Public Library managed to find him in the 1876 voter records, but not the 1887 voter records, which provides more of an argument that he died in 1885.
Plus, they managed to get the transcription for the stone in St. James' Cemetery. It says:
Not a whole lot of definite proof, but it is definitely leaning towards the argument that he died in 1885.
Next steps:
* Likely to check the Orillia Newspapers on microfilm to see if there was anything published around that time * Check possible church records.

Uncle Tom / Thos Williams / Died / Aug 3 1885 / Aged / 54 yearsNow, while the date at death is off (Thomas Would have been about 58 at the time of death) everything else matches. The fact that it was inscribed as "Uncle Tom" implies that he did not have any children of his own and that his nieces and nephews put up the stone, which all fits.
Not a whole lot of definite proof, but it is definitely leaning towards the argument that he died in 1885.
Next steps:
