John was baprised
on the same day as his cousin William Luxton
(1817) son of George (1770)
John Luxton (1816 - 1907) - born at Steers
Cottage, Brushford, Devon on June 5, 1816, and
baptised on Feb 16, 1817 was a 22 year old labourer
when he married Jane Pike a 20 year old
domestic servant, daughter of Samuel Pike,
a sawyer, by banns at Brushford on August 10,
1838. Both signed the register with their mark.
John emigrated to Grand Valley, Ontario, in
1848 and his wife Jane and their children followed
him there in 1853. The 1851 census lists Jane
Luxton 33, agricultural labourers wife,
living at the Green, Brushford with their daughters
Maria 7, Elizabeth 4, Ann 2 and her unmarried
sister, Mary 34, the wife of her husbands' brother
William Luxton (1807 - 1887), blacksmith.
Jane Luxtons' two eldest children, William
Luxton 12 and Mary J Luxton 10, were
living at Steers Cottage, Brushford with their
Uncle Richard Luxton and family. Their
exists a charcoal sketch of John and Jane made
to celebrate their sixtieth wedding anniversary.
The couple lie buried at Grand Valley, East
Luther Township, Dufferin County which lies
north of London, Ontario, about an hours drive
out of Toronto. The pioneers are commemorated
by a pink granite headstone:-

John and Jane had
ten children, Their six eldest were born in
Devon and the four youngest in Ontario.
John's wife (Jane)
is recorded in the 1851 census below
1851:

Wife - born Eggesford
Jane's two
eldest children William and Mary Ann
were staying with their Uncle Richard Luxton
(1813)
Shortly after the
1851 census Jane gathered up her belongings
and took her young children from Brushford,
a little Devonshire village overland to a port
which I believe to have been Plymouth, and from
there she set sail to Canada. An incredible
journey on its own, for in those days it would
have taken many days if not weeks. It is not
known at this time if her husband John had returned
to fetch her or if she did the whole journey
without him. I wonder if she really had any
idea of what she was really letting herself
in for.
The question I ask is, how did John sell the
idea to make such a move to her, imagine a woman
in her mid 30's with five children the youngest
of only 2-3 years of age having to turn and
leave all her familiar surroundings, her immediate
family, her friends, having packed only basic
belongings knowing that she is likely never
to return must have taken outstanding courage.
From the article
below it appears that the family made the final
leg of their journey with another family by
the name of Stuckey. I wonder
if the Luxton's and Stuckey's (below) were actually
known to each other before they travelled to
Canada. We do know that the name Stuckey comes
up twice in our Luxton research Robert Luxton
(1739) and John Luxton (1766) a father and son
both married a Stuckey so it seem perfectly
reasonable to assume that the Stuckey’s
and Luxton’s were well known to each other
in the Brushford area as it is after all a very
small community.
Luxton and Stuckey
History
In September 1854 the
two families started out from Toronto to make
their home in Luther. They hired a wagon and
a team of horses to bring all their belongings
to Hillsburg The men walked and the women and
children took turns riding. It took four days
to make the journey to Hillsburg, the end of
the road. From there they had to travel by means
of a team of oxen and a jumper to the farm of
Mr. Burke on the 13th line of Garafraxa. They
left part of their belongings at Hillsburg.
The women and children stayed at Burkes until
the men cleared enough land to put up the shanties.
Mr Luxton's shanty was 16' by 24'.It did not
take long to cut enough logs for a house for
the logs were close together. It took about
ten logs for each side of the house. They didn't
put the roof on at first, but covered it with
poles, over which cedar boughs were placed to
give some shelter from the weather. The first
two nights the men spent at Mr. Densmore's (the
first farmer in the area). The women at Mr Burkes
cooked all the meals - enough to last several
days. They brought with them empty ticks, which
they filled with dry grass cut with sickle,
for there was not straw. Beds were wooden frames
with poles strung across, these poles later
being replaced by ropes. They had no chairs
or tables, just round blocks of wood to sit
on. They had wooden chests which contained all
their belongings. These trunks served as a table.
The things they had brought with them were the
merest necessities. They included an iron pot,
a bake kettle, an iron tea-kettle, a tin was
dish, a wooden pail and a smoothing iron. Their
tools consisted of a saw, an axe, a broad-axe,
a hammer, a brace and bit, and most important
a gun. They of course, had no stoves, but built
a fireplace of stones and clay.
These folks went into their new homes without
roof, doors or windows and lived that way for
five weeks. For a door, a quilt was fastened
over the opening at nights. The women helped
to saw lumber for the roof, floor and door and
helped chink the cracks between the logs with
mud. Then there were cedar shingles to make.
They cut the blocks in the daytime and at night
split them into flat shingles from 3 to 4 feet
long. When they needed supplies they had to
go to Hillsburg, carrying everything on their
backs or shoulders, for they had no horses.
They were able to get free milk from their Garafraxa
neighbours free. Mr. Fred Hood and John McArthur
were chums living in Erin who got acquainted
with Bella Joyce and Mary Jane Luxton. Both
boys decided to settle near the girls, so they
took up land on Con. 5 (East Luther). Mrs. Joyce
had a wedding for her daughter. The groom, the
English minister, and grooms brother came a
distance of 30 miles on horseback. It was the
first wedding in Luther. Mr. and Mrs. McArthur
had been married earlier but they walked to
Douglas (now Belwood) to be married and returned
the same day. They planned to keep the wedding
plans a secret. However it leaked out and Mrs
Stuckey that a Garafraxa boys were planning
on a shivaree ("a noisy mock serenade for
newlyweds"). So the Luxton family was warned
of their intentions. So these two young couples
settled about the same time in their new homes
about 1857. Mr Luxton lived on his land until
1860 when he sold it to Patrick Duffy. He moved
onto a lot on Con. 5
Lynda has sent
me a link to a website that mentions the a person
named Stuckey was the first postmaster in the
Grand Valley could this be the same Stuckey
who is mentioned above?
Grand Valley;
also known as Little Toronto (originally called
Luther) - village located 29 miles from Guelph.
The post office was established on November
1, 1860 and the first postmaster was S. Stuckey.
Village changed its name to Grand Valley in
1885 when it became incorporated. - http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~onduffer/townships/luther.html
