• Note*: 1 July 1935; Presqu'ile Park, Brighton, Northumberland Co., Ontario; "THE HISTORY OF THE HERRINGTON FAMILY REUNION, (Third Annual Gathering of Prominent United Empire Loyalists) Family at Presqu'ile, July 1st, 1935; EARLY HISTORY, Written by Thomas Mikel, Secretary-Treasurer (son of Johnson Hope Mikel). JACOB HERRINGTON married and lived north of Hilton. He had several children. He was drowned when a mill-dam collapsed back of Hilton, carrying the mill and himself down the stream." per email from Cheryl (Kemp) Taber, Jul 1 2014.
  Note: This is the first time I have seen this direct reference to the second man killed in The Breakaway, April 21 1852. Information that came to me in 2013 demonstrated that the second man killed was NOT John Herrington - as he and wife Louisa Richmond are shown buried in Michigan much later. There are no records for Jacob Herrington after The Breakaway - nor of his wife Sarah and several of their kids. This is the same kind of thing that messed me around re John.

• Death*: 1979; per GEDCOM of Barbara Lenker, Mar 17, 2004.²

• Census*: April 1901; Brighton Twp., Northumberland Co., Ontario; Age 5 at 1901 Census: see Beecher McGillis⁶
• Census: 1911; Brighton Twp., Smithfield, Northumberland Co., Ontario; Age 15 at 1911 Census: see Beecher McGillis⁸
• Married Name: 25 April 1917; Mikel²
• Note*: circa 1920; At the History Open House a lady gave Norm Bastin the attached page which talks about the McGillis family and one Hebert Smith who was a Lighthouse Keeper at Presqu'ile. I have developed info for the McGillis and associated families but we still do not know the name of the lady who gave Norm the page. She did not put her name on it!! Her mother was Sybil Winnifred McGillis so, according to a Marriage Registration from 1917, her father was Thomas Ora Mikel. Who is this lady and how can we get in touch with her?
  Also, it is a bit unclear exactly the connection with the Lighthouse - or which Lighthouse. Hebert E. Smith was recorded as a Lighthouse Keeper in the 1901 Census but I do not see that on the Provincial list. However, he was not married to Catherine Lorinda Smith - who was actually the mother of Beecher McGillis, father of Sybil McGillis. Yes, Catherine Lorinda Smith and Herbert E. Smith were siblings, children of James Smith, so the aunt and uncle thing is right, at least re Herbert Smith.
