E. W. Scane, who departed this life April 1, 1902, was a leading barrister of Chatham, County of Kent...
     Mr. Scane was descended from English ancetry in both paternal and maternal lines. The first member of this family, concerning whom any definite data are obtainable, is Thomas Scane, the grandfather of E. W., who was born in England about the year 1765, and there married, his wife being also a native of England. Some time afterward he came to Ontario, and settled near St. Thomas (where his wife died) in the year 1820. In the year 1822 he moved to Howard township, County of Kent, settling on a farm where he spent the remainder of his life, dying in 1845. Politically he was a Conservative. To Thomas Scane and his wife were born the following children: Ellen, who died in England; Jane, who died in Ontario; Betsy, who died in Ridgetown; and two sons, John and Thomas, both of whom came to Ontario with their father, and settled in Howard township, where Thomas died in 1871, leaving two sons, Henry and Thomas, and three daughters, Jane, Ellen (deceased) and Betsy Ann. Of these Henry is now deceased, and Thomas still resides in Howard township.
     John Scane, son of Thomas, and the father of E. W. Scane, was born in England in 1800, and came to Ontario about the same time his father emigrated. He settled on a farm in Howard township, County of Kent, now owned by James Scane, his son. John Scane married in 1822, Miss Elizabeth Mitton, who was born in England in 1798, and they became the parents of nine sons and two daughters, four sons dying in infancy. We have the following record of the others: (1) John, born in 1824, died in 1901; he married Catherine Marsh, by whom he had three children: Charles W., unmarried, who resides in Howard township; Harry, who married Addie Scarlett and also lives in Howard township; and Elizabeth Alice, wife of J. Hamil. (2) James, born in 1826, married Jane Spence, and lives in Howard township. (3) Joseph, born in 1829, married Harriet Spence, and lived in Howard township until his death, in January, 1902. They had nine daughters, Alice, Ellen and Jane (who died in infancy), Louisa, Minnie, Mabel, Annie, Maud and Ethel and three sons, George and John (who died in infancy) and James, a farmer of Howard, who married a Miss McDonald. Louisa married William Thorold, and lives in Ridgetown. Minnie married Alfred Savage, of Ridgetown. Mabel married Alfred Crodon, and lives in London. Annie married George Laing, of Ridgetown. Maud married James Craig, of Chicago, and Ethel married Roy Gammage. (4) Charles E., born in 1834, married Amanda Stover, and lives in Ridgetown. He has three sons and one daughter - Wilbur, who married Elizabeth Rushton; Harry; Roy; and Dora, Mrs. Buller. (5) Jane married John Toll. (6) E. W. is mentioned below.
     E. W. Scane was born Sept. 9, 1838, in the township of Howard...
     On Feb. 14, 1865, Mr. Scane and Miss Mary A. Spencer were united in marriage... Mr. and Mrs. Scane became the parents of four children: (1) Walter W. was called to the Bar in 1887, and has been a legal practitioner in Chatham ever since, and is a member of the firm of Huston, Stone & Scane, barristers, of Chatham. He married Emma Wall, by whom he has two daughters, Mary and Margaret. (2) Adelaide Cherry married William J. Taylor, of Chatham, and has two children, William Wallace and Thomas Hulme.

Commemorative Biographical Record of Kent County, Ontario, J.H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1904, pg. 476-478:
Charles C. Scane, a retired lumberman and one of the substantial and prominent citizens of the County of Kent, now a resident of Ridgetown, was born in that county Aug. 7, 1834, a son of John and Elizabeth (Mitton) Scane, the former of whom was born in Yorkshire, England, in 1800, and the latter in the same shire in 1805. They grew up in England, and there attended school. Both came to Canada, in 1819, and were soon after married. For a short time they lived near Toronto, and then came to Ridgetown where John Scane became the second permant settler, Mr. Marsh having been the first.
     The location of the little log house which was the family's first home, was on the west side of the site of the present town of Ridgetown, Mr. Scane's land comprising 100 acres. Here were actively carried on those marvelous feats of energy and industry which changed the raw land into cleared and cultivated fields. Soon the cabin of logs was replaced with a neat frame house, which is still in a fair state of preservation. The faithful wife and devoted mother died in this home she had so materially assissted in founding, in 1860, Mr. Scane surviving fifteen years. Both he and his wife were most active in the work of the Methodist Church, and it was largely through their pious and continued efforts that a church of that denomination was so early established, Mr. Scane serving on its official body for many years. He never took any deep interest in political questions, favoring, however, the Conservative party. The children of John and Elizabeth Scane consisted of five sons and one daughter: Jane, born in Toronto, married the late John Tolls, and still resides on the farm in Harwich left her by her husband; John, born in Ridgetown, married Catherine Marsh, thus uniting two old families of County Kent; James, married Miss Jane Spence, of Howard, and they reside on the old homestead; Joseph, born on the old homestead, married Miss Hattie Spence, and they now reside on a part of the old homestead, engaging in farming, and have a family of seven children, Louisa, Minnie, Anna, James, Mabel, Maud and Ethel; Charles W.; Ebenezer W., the youngest of the family, who was educated for the law and is now a barrister in Chatham, married Miss Mary Spencer, of Chatham, and has four children, Walter, Adda (the wife of Joseph Haley, a prominent lumberman, of Chatham), and Dr. John (a practicing physician of Montreal).
     Thomas Scane, the father of John came with his sons, John and Thomas, from Yorkshire to the Dominion, and settled on land adjoining theirs, where he remained through the balance of his life. His wife died in England, and their family consisted of but the two sons.
