• Notes

  James Sherburne (1798-1880) was the eldest son of John and Mary. About 1821, he and his brother Joseph traveled to Ontario and began a lumber business near Hamilton. He married Sarah Middaugh (1805-1891), daughter of Martin Middaugh and Mary Hawn. In 1825, Sarah petitioned the Canadian government for a land grant, as she was the granddaughter of Martin Middaugh, a United Empire Loyalist who had been born in New York State, but moved to Ontario during the Revolution. James and Sarah were granted 200 acres in Trafalgar District, Halton County, and later purchased an adjacent fifty acres. James and Sarah had fourteen children, all born in Canada. About 1856, apparently deciding he was more American than Canadian, James decided to sell out and move the family to Wisconsin, where land was opening up. A wagon train with family and supplies was organized. They crossed into Michigan and traveled along an old Chicago Trail. Some of the family stopped off in Van Buren County, Michigan, and at least one became a fruit grower, but James and several others went on to Walworth County in southern Wisconsin. There he bought a farm and lived there until his death in 1880. Sarah died in 1891, by that time living with family in Van Buren County. - http://grunerheritage.com/theotherside/sherburne/history2.html
