William Moorhouse Family
William Moorhouse (1805-1889) was 18 years old when his parents came to Canada. Rev. Mark Brigham married William and Catherine Pearce (1809-1850), daughter of John and Frances Pearce of Dunwich Township, Elgin County, in 1830. William and Catherine settled in the woods on the present homestead where William built a log cabin, later replaced by a brick home. William's life was filled with good deeds, leaving behind him memories reflecting credit upon him in every position in life. In politics, William was always identified with the Liberal Party. On account of his reliable character, he was frequently elected to office, serving as a township councillor, assessor, collector and also as township clerk. William and Catherine had nine children.
John (1832-1881), born on the old homestead, married Mary Ann Langford (1831-1915) and settled on Lot 29, Con. 2. They raised nine children: William, George, Milton, Edith, Franklin, Elena, Oscar, Anson, Clayton and Lilly.
Thomas (1834-1913) married Hannah Mounteer (1834-1920), who was born in England, and they settled on Lot 22, Con. 6 with three children: Hiram, Adeline and Manley. Manley Stafford Moorhouse married Margaret Evelyn Burdon and it was their son, Eric Gelling, who became a Justice of the Supreme Court of Ontario.
William L. (1836-1912) married Maria Waddell of Kent County; they had four children and lived in Chatham. Frances (1838-1911) married John McDonald of Kent County. Mary Anne (1842-1918) was the wife of Timothy Guild. Joseph (1844) married Jane Huson of Lower Canada, settled for a time as a farmer in Tilbury, but moved to Hamilton in 1895. Catherine (1846-1945) married David Wilson, who farmed near London. Susannah (1848-1914) married James J. Waddell of Tilbury. Robert (1840-1918) married Louisa Sage Culham (1849-1938) and farmed Lot 25, Con. 5 where they raised a large family.
