The Mickle Family - Re Union of One of Essex County's Historical and Influential Families:
The Mickle family reunion was held on Bois Blanc Island, on Wednesday last, June7th. The gathering was attended by family coming from all parts, some coming from the Pacific coast, and many from the states of the Union, but Essex, Kent and Lambton were particularly well represented. Many relatives present had never met before and were total strangers to one another. No introduction was necessary. It was just a question of what connection and where from. For some months the reunion had been worked up. A diligent search for the members of the different branches of the Mickle family was made by an energetic committee. The principal part of the work was left in the hands of Henry J. Mickle, of this town, and the success of the whole affair proves how well he had done his work. The day did not look too promising in the early morning, but it cleared up and proved an ideal one for such a gathering.
They came from all directions, by electric and steam railway, by boat, by auto and in carriages, all carrying well-filled baskets. By noon there were about 200 present, and by that time they had become pretty well acquainted. All were anxious to explain which branch of the family they represented, whom they married, where they resided, and how many members in the family they represented, and a hundred more questions.
The baskets were unpacked and several long tables laid under the hickory trees, and soon a dinner fit for a king was spread. Alanson Mickle, of Colchester South, presided, and after grace by Rev. Thomas Nattress, all sat to and did justice to the good things provided. After all had supplied the inner man, the chairman called upon Henry Mickle, who welcomed them all and gave a short address in which he referred to William Mickle as the original head of the Mickle clan, who had come from Aryshire, Scotland, before the American revolution. About 1793 he was engaged in the construction of the British Government navy at Fort Malden and later at York (now Toronto), where he died of typhoid fever. He said there were about 600 descendents.
Short addresses were also made by J. A. Auld, Rev. Thomas Nattress, A. H. Clarke, M. P., Isaac Jackson, Thos. Mickle, of Highgate, and William Waldron.
On motion of Henry Mickle and Hart Mickle, of Cass City, Mich., it was unanimously decided by a standing vote to make the Mickle family reunion a fixed family gathering, at about this season of the year.

Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers, 1905, p. 494-495:
Charles Mickle, who is one of the prominent citizens of Malden township, County of Essex, a member of the municipal council and a prosperous farmer, is a descendant of one of the pioneer settlers of this locality.
William Mickle, the great-grandfather of Charles, was a native of Aryshire, Scotland, and in early manhood came to work in the docks along the lake front in the County of Essex, at his trade of ship carpenter, making his home at Amherstburg. His death occurred in that city. In Chatham he married Hannah Turner, who received a pension after his death, as the widow of a soldier in the English army during the Revolution; her death occurred at the home of her son William. Her husband built a log house in Amherstburg, just opposite the present Echo office, and there he reared his family of children: William, born in 1793; Hannah died unmarried; John; Lucy married Thomas Brush; and James.
