Henry married in that State Mary Klingensmith, and when troubles arose between the Colonies and the Mother Country he decided to remove to English soil. With his family he located first on Grosse Ile, but later removed to Malden, when he learned the former land did not belong to Great Britain, and still later he moved to the lake shore, where he took up land in Lots 80 and 76. He and his wife were buried on this farm. They were the parents of the following children: William married Betsey Lipps; Philip married (first) Miss Dowler, and (second) Delilah Malott; Henry married (first) Miss Hitchcock, by whom he had one daughter, Deborah, who married Matthew McCormick, and he married (second) Hannah Lipps; Thomas married (first) Jennie Little, (second) Mary Leighton, and (third) Abbie Larabie; Betsy married John Brush; Mary married Asa Wilcox; Mattie married Samuel Watson; Katie married Henry Lipps....

Brush, born Dec. 2, 1850, was a descendant of the John Brush, who came to Canada about 1799, with a company of United Empire Loyalists, and who was followed a few years later, in 1806, by his brother Stephen, from whom many residents of Colchester and Malden townships are descended. John Brush, in the assignment of government land drew Lot 89, Concession 1, and resided there till the day of his death. He married Miss Betsy Wright, who bore him the following three sons: Charles; John, who married Miss Ann Grubb; and Thomas, who married Miss Lucinda Fox. There were also several daughters.

     Arthur B. Brush inherited his father's homestead, and by him it was willed to his beloved daughter, as will also be the old Quick home, which Mrs. Brush inherited from her father. Mr. Brush was an able business man, and a most honorable, upright gentleman, who had many friends. He belonged to the Odd Fellows and the Workmen, and was very popular in both organizations.
     Mrs. Brush is a gracious woman, of marked business ability and artistic tastes. Her home is beautifully located on the lake, and its charm and order delight all who see it.
