�Spelling has been left as original as possible. Some place names can’t be found anymore and if
they are, they are added following along in brackets as a re a few notes on interest. J.G. also used
next to no punctuation so a dash has been added to break the sentence – and of course if the ship
was rolling and a person is seasick and trying to write with a dip pen there are smudges, which
sometimes just could not be deciphered at all – here, a blank is used. The script is impossibly tiny.
Some of the pages in this journal have been penciled over later with miscellaneous and additional
family notes. These are probably made by J.G. Mountford’s youngest daughter Sarah Elizabeth,
who also kept a small notebook of mostly local deaths. Aforementioned notebook has been
transcribed as a separate document for the Kent OGS. The original material was sent to the Kent
County Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society by John Green Mountford’s Great
Granddaughter, Martha Louis Arnold Sheerin, of Indian River, Michigan, in April of 2016. For
biographical notes used to piece the family tree together, see also: Alvin Armstrong’s 1985 History
of Blenheim History and South Harwich. Page 88 of the 1973 reprinted Historical Atlas of Essex &
Kent County Ontario by H. Belden & Co., Toronto 1880/1881 and Victor Lauriston’s 1952,
Romantic Kent. The 1981 Kent OGS Transcript of Evergreen Cemetery in Blenheim and some
miscellaneous Staff Reports made by Veterinary Staff Sergeant J.J. Mountford, North West
Mounted Police, 1896, 1899 etc., also: familysearch.org and the Canada Census, Archives Canada.

John Green Mountford was born in Chisledon, Wiltshire, England, coming to North America in
the spring of 1846 on board the ship Charlotte, from London, England to Quebec. He married
Elizabeth Brook, on May 26, 1849, by the Rev. Benjamin Cronyn, of old St. Paul’s Church, London,
