John Strickland Diary 1843
Transcribed by Jan Roberton, the great-great-great-granddaughter of John Strickland
the space between 1831 and 1843 I spent in Rosedale although I had left my
Native Land once and it may be thought by some in a hard and unfeeling
manner I just simply deny it by saying every hart know,s its own sorrow,
although, not the same way of exprefsing it. I have no thought of writing my
life as some may think but as my Friend,s desired me on my second
setting out to keep account how we spent every day while on our journey I
reluctantly Comply knowing that I am not able to write and spell Properly
still for the sake of those I,m leaveing I,ll do my best and those that know
better may mend it to connect my former voyage with the second I just
give a slight run through the space between I shall not say much how I,ve
live,d when I look back I see I might have done different and been no worse.
on arriving a home I went to work with my Mother in latter part of 1831 one
of my sisters Died and in the forepart of 1832 my youngest Brother died in
1832 on the 28 of April I was married and went to live in Old T. Peirsons
house that we had bought, time rowl,d on and in 1835 or 6 I begun on the
Thurgill Farm for my self in 1842 Mother was left with only one son I saw
that if I ever return,d to America it was time I was going so in 1843 I sold
the Farm to Brother Thomas and on May the 10th 1843 I again left Rosedale
for America I shall not mention any thing respecting my feeling I know
them my Family consisted of self Wife and 5 children all Girls we went to
sister Elizabeth,s at Aiselby that day

Thursday 6 all well the scenery is delightful it is a fine day and the trouble ot
Crofsing the Atlantic will soon be forgotten
July 7 this morning we arrived at Troy we left Albany just in the Break of day
it is a very Beauti[ul] City when we got to Troy the boat did not go off till late
in the afternoon I took a walk in the city with Hannah and Children they were
Delighted with the Grander of the place towards evening we left east Troy for
West Troy and then went forward on the Erie Canal
Saterday 8 this Morning when I awoke I got out of the Boat to take a walk alittle
below the second Aquiduct saw a railway train pafs on the other side of the river
the Towns we Past were Hansome and the Country scenery Delightful as England
and more so.
Sunday 9 the weather is very fine but warmer than in England this day we past
through a delightful Country saw people going to Places of worship. 13 years has
made a great alterations in the appearance of the Country in the way between
York in England and Liverpool it is a fine Country but the scenery on the Erie
Canal far exceeds it in my opinion
10 and 11
Pafsing on the Canal nothing of great importance the scenery
much the same the eye,s is glutted with fresh sights most of us are not very well
yet not so bad but, we can take pleasure our journey I have not kept account of
the towns nor even the City,s that we have past through as I did in my former
voyage. I could give in many instances a correct discreption of Both towns and
Country before we came at them I could recolect almost every turn in the Canal
there is a new canal in the way of making with Double Locks
Wedensday 12 Landed this morning before daylight in Rochester took our
fare to Toronto the steam Boat would not be of till 11 o,clock at night so we
walked down to the Landing it is a very warm day we look,d about the town a
little and went to see the Fall,s once more were Sam Patch jump,t down the
Fall,s is greatly diminish,t in my eyes owing to the many Mill streams that is
taken from the River and Fall,s in below the general Fall,s
made some enqurie about Wm Wardel did not find him 11 o,clock
at night the steamboat is come and will be of in too or 3 minutes all hurry throng
and bustle and dark as a dungeon all on board and safe Lamps litt up and
suffocating warm with the fire,s got Hannah and Children laid down to rest in a
midling cool place the stuard show,d us a good deal of kindnefs in the way of
getting a good place Allen Peirson and Family were in my mind
�all the time we were on board the boat
26
13 Thursday Landed in Toronto by 7 o,clock this morning had to undergo
the Custom once more then left Hannah and Children with the Boxes on the
warf till I went into the town and took a house I should be an hour or more
before I found one to my mind then got our Boxes in in the afternoon I got the
Family some things that they were in want off
14 this morning I left my Family in Toronto and by steamboat to Creditt
Port and on my feet from there to my old Companion J. Simpsons I found
them all well saw Walter Davison Isaac Chapman and several more old
Aquaintance

Check Cash,t the 18 I managed to get it done throughthe afsistance of George
Harbron the 19 was spent in doing nothing butwating for a ride the next day. I
learnt in those 3 days that I could get almost any thing for money in Toronto.
20 this morning I set out on foot down the Kingston road and a man of the
name of Thomas Gibson would over take me and give me a ride he over took
me when I had got about 7 miles I have travell,d so much in America till I think its
all of a seam lik,t lad Pie. Pines and Oaks swamps and dry Land hard wood and
soft, Level and mountanious and so on Mr. Gibson overtook me on the top of
some Pine Land just before entering into a middling good Country he has a farm
in the Township of Pickering between George Days and I. Saddlers call,d to see

known in England by the name of Susanna I tried to sing the Bafs but
when I heard my own voice among straingers it almost made one
shudder we had a very good discourse and in the evening a Mr. Ryerson
