Anne Langton¹

• Father*: Thomas Langton¹ b. 10 Oct 1770, d. 3 May 1838
• Mother*: Ellen Currer¹ b. 25 Jul 1766, d. 1 Aug 1846

• Birth*: 24 June 1804; Addingham, Yorkshire, England; "LANGTON, ANNE, settler, artist, author, teacher, and musician; b. 24 June 1804 in Farfield Hall, Bolton Abbey, England, second
  child and only daughter of Thomas Langton and Ellen Currer; ... " per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_anne_12E.html) Date Jun 24 1804 & location Addingham, Yorkshire, England per family tree of Bruce Gordon on ancestry.ca, Oct 24 2020.^1,2
• Death*: 10 May 1893; 123 Beverley St., Toronto, York Co., Ontario; "Anne died at 123 Beverley Street, the Langtons’ final home, near the site now occupied by the Art Gallery of Ontario. In the last years, too old to “ramble,” she practised the traditional gentlewomanly pursuits of embroidery and china painting, providing delicate, decorative legacies for immediate loved ones. In her more extensive portfolio of perpetually delightful art works and in her lively written chronicles, Anne’s deft strokes with pencil, pen, and brush yielded a wider legacy for subsequent generations of her cultural descendants on both sides of the Atlantic. To echo her own comments on first viewing Niagara, her words and visual images
  offer “partial,” though never “obscure,” glimpses which “each and all assist in the expansion of [the] agination” of both reader and viewer." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_anne_12E.html)
  "d. 10 May 1893 in Toronto." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_anne_12E.html) Date May 10 1893 & location Toronto per family tree of Bruce Gordon on ancestry.ca, Oct 24 2020.^1,2

• Residence*: 1815; Yverdon, Switzerland; "In 1815, shortly after Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo, Thomas uprooted the family to broaden the children’s education. The Langtons’ European tour was no dilettante trip. They spent six years in nomadic, though civilized, existence, in several countries. Their immediate destination was Yverdon, on Lake Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Here, the educational reformer Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi ran an innovative institute which Anne’s younger brother, John, attended; Anne and her older brother, William, were tutored privately by institute masters. Pestalozzi encouraged
  individual talent rather than competitive rote learning and advocated education by deduction from experience and by sensory perception: sound tenets for future pioneers. The Langtons’ studies included languages, literature, music, art, and fencing. Their further travel experiences gave them a philosophical attitude toward vicissitudes and an enhanced appreciation of foreign cultures – further invaluable assets. In Switzerland, Austria, and Italy they visited art galleries
  and attended concerts, fiestas, and papal audiences. They resided in Frankfurt am Main,
  Montpellier, Florence, Rome, Venice, Naples, and Paris. Anne copied works by Old Masters,
  sketched landscapes derivative of “ideal” composition, inhabitants of various countries in national costume, and not-too challenging, rear-view early portraits of her mother and her aunt Alice. Fellow travellers whom the Langtons came to know well in Europe included Isaac Weld and family – Weld’s Travels through ... the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada ... (London, 1799) would later persuade John Langton to immigrate to Upper Canada – and the noted travel writer Mariana Starke." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_anne_12E.html)²
• Residence: 24 May 1837; Fenelon Twp., Sturgeon Lake, Victoria Co., Upper Canada; "In 1833 John immigrated to Upper Canada
  and took up residence on Sturgeon Lake, near such other genteel settlers as Thomas Alexander Stewart, Samuel Strickland, Thomas Traill, John Wedderburn Dunbar Moodie, and their families. Anne, having overcome her father’s reluctance to her earning income by practising art, now painted portraits, but only on commission for relatives and close friends. By 1837 family resources were so low that “the Canada project” – to live with John – was embarked upon. Thomas, Ellen, Alice, and Anne set forth on 24 May, not without warnings that theirs was “rather a wild scheme” for three ailing, elderly people and a spinster who, in her mid thirties, was going deaf." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_anne_12E.html)²
• Residence: 1850; Fenelon Twp., Victoria Co., Canada West; "The years 1845–47 marked a watershed in Anne’s life. John married in 1845, Ellen Langton and Alice Currer died within weeks of each other during the severe ague epidemic of 1846, and John, his wife Lydia, and Anne made a return visit to England in 1847 which, in Anne’s case, lasted for three years. In 1849 she faced another turning-point. Should she remain with William’s family “frittering my life away” as ornamental lady, take a post as governess at a friend’s school for young ladies near London, or return to help raise the new “Canadian” Langton generation? Once again, circumstances did not force her into independence. She opted for reciprocal sustenance and partial self-fulfilment with John’s family, and returned in 1850." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_anne_12E.html)²
• Residence: 1851; Peterborough, Peterborough Co., Canada West; "The Langtons’ backwoods years ended in 1851 when John was elected to the assembly to represent Peterborough. The family, after first living there, moved with the government to Toronto (1855–60), Quebec (1860–65), and Ottawa (1865–78). At Peterborough Anne became organist and music director for St John’s Church; presumably, her hearing impairment was not yet so severe as to prevent her leading the congregation’s singing." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_anne_12E.html)²
• Residence: 1878; Toronto, York Co., Ontario; "After John’s retirement in 1878 the Langtons returned to live in Toronto. By then, Anne had made several more extended visits to Britain, in 1860–62, 1868–70, and 1873–75; she made her last visit there, still touring, in 1880." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_anne_12E.html)²
• Note*: 1879; 23 Prince Arthur Ave., Toronto, York Co., Ontario; "In 1879 Anne wrote The story of our family. Published privately in England in 1881, this retrospective account is more personal than the record eventually published as A gentlewoman. Of initial post-emigration difficulties, she observed, “I never shall forget my feeling of despair at that time . . . . Now, it did seem a rash step for such a party to come out to such a place, but we were very careful in writing home to say as little of our difficulties as possible.” The book was written at the Langtons’ first retirement residence, 23 Prince Arthur Avenue, later the headquarters of the Women’s Art Association of Canada." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_anne_12E.html)²

Possibly on the Thompson farm. There is a memorial to Sarah at the Bath, Ontario church yard, but she is not buried there. ... Sarah Kast McGinnis went on to be a heroine of Canada, coming back down to NY at least 2 times to talk to the Indians in their own tongues, once to get them to fight for the British, another time to warn them that the American white men would demand their lands after the war, and that they should go north to Canada. Sarah is credited with saving many Indian lives." per family tree of John Wesley Carton on ancestry.ca, Oct 26 2020.¹
