47. DAVID7 DAY (JONATHAN6, JOSEPH5, JOSEPH4, JEREMIAH3, RALPH2, RALPH1)
was born 1843 in Ontario, Canada300,301. He married CANDACE MOORE 16 Apr 1866 in Michigan302.
She was born 1844 in Canada303.
Notes for DAVID DAY:
Per the Day Family History, David and Candice married in 1866. However, as Priscilla born in
1860 it is likely a typo and should be 1856, but marriage verification needed on this.

Notes for JOHN DAY:
From page five, "Day Family History": "John Day was born Jan. 17th 1825, just four years after his
grandfather Joseph, his father Elemer , his two uncles Dexter and Jonathan, and an aunt arrived in
Nissouri to start a new life. At the age of 21, John Day married Eliza Jane Congdon who was 18 and
they farmed 50 acres on the west half of lot four Conc. 9. Immediate neighbors on the eighth line were
Jacob Day, William Day and the Sherlocks. Behind John's farm on the ninth line, Ele Day and
Dexter Day each farmed a 50 acre parcel. John Day wrote " Memories of a Pioneer" which is appended
to this book. John Day and his wife are both buried in the 7th Line Cemetery."
Ibid: Page 191: "Memories of a Pioneer" An interesting Article by John Day of Thamesford,
titled "Only One White Shirt"
A family gathering was held last January at the old homestead of the children of Elmer and Asenith Day,
seven boys and two girls were present and advantage was taken of the occasion to recall to mind the scenes
of their childhood days, the fond recollections of their parents who have passed away, at a good old age.
(Added note: Elmer Day, the father, died in 1885, Asineth in 1876) Father's birthday was on January 25,
and had he lived to that date, he would have reached the ninety-four mark. (Added note: this places the
year of the family gathering at 1897, not 1864 per date given at the end) The mother of the family would
have been ninety-three on the fifth of September. It was after partaking of an excellent dinner that we
began to talk of the trials our forefathers and mothers had to endure.
Grandfather, Joseph Day, came into Canada in the year 1821, bringing three boys and one girl with him,
and leaving three girls and one boy in New York State. They were the oldest, and afraid to come for fear
of being killed by the Indians. Father was the youngest boy, at the age of 18 when his father came into
Canada. First he moved in with a team, and cut his way through the woods to what is not Thamesford.
There were no bridges in this section in those days, so it was necessary for them to ford the river.
Father has told me that he carried what he could across on the horse's back, and cut their way on one
mile west of Thamesford to Lot 1, in the Ninth Concession of East Nissouri. The wolves were very
thick at that time and howled dismally about the house. On one occasion father made a small trap,
baited it with a piece of meat, and caught an old wolf by one of its front paws. The wolf dragged the trap,
and my father, his brother, D.B. Day, and a man named Cass, with three dogs made pursuit for the wolf,
and caught up to it, one mile from where it started. After a big tussle, the man with the dogs worried the
animal and caught it alive. They muzzled the wolf, tied his legs together, ran a pole through between
his legs and carried him home. They untied his legs and tied a log chain to him. Father took hold of
one end of the chain, and letting the wolf go, it made for the woods, father hanging on to the chain.
When the wolf had gone as far as he wanted it to go, he pulled up the chain, and the wolf turned and
made a spring for his throat. Father doubled his fist and gave him a plumper on the head.
Another incident which occured the same year was this: There was to be a wedding at Grandfather's,
the favored man being a Mr. Cass. Cotton was dear at that time and Cass had no starched shirt with
which to grace the occasion. In the township there was only one that would qualify for a wedding
ceremony. It was "let out" on these occasions, and before Cass' marriage day came, it was brought
to grandfather's log house to be done up. They put the shirt over the fireplace to boil and wash for the
wedding next day. The members of the household went to fiddling and dancing and forgot all about
the shirt until they smelt the cotton burning. The shirt was burned and the marriage had to be
performed in the every-day article.
In the year 1822 my father returned to New York State and was married to Asenith Fowler. They were
both working at the same place at the time they were married. They saw the magistrate passing by on
horse back. Mother was at the spinning wheel at the time and father at farm work. Father went in and
said: "What hinders us from being married?" She said nothing, but silence is consent, so the magistrate
was called in and the two were made one.
Speaking for myself, I was born in the 1825, and one sister in the year 1827. Father and mother moved into
Canada in the year 1829. Mother often told me that she brought along clothes to bury me on the road,
but I am alive yet. I was 72 years of age on the 17th of June. The family moved into Canada with one horse
and one horse-wagon. When they got here they lived in a shanty on grandfather's place. His brother,
Jonathan, had taken up Lot 4 in the Ninth Concession of East Nissouri, one mile from Thamesford. He
traded his horse and wagon to his brother for the north east half, even up. Father then went to work on the
place to clear a spot to build the house. He moved into it in the year 1830, and lived in it about twenty years.
The children were all born in it except the youngest, whose birthplace was in the frame house in which we
held our family gathering. Father and mother ended thir days on the old homestead. Father and four or five
neighbors built a small log school-house, in the woods, one mile north of where Thamesford now stands.
They had no lumber to make seats, but cut down basewood trees, split them in halves, turned them over
and bored holes in the rounding side, put legs into them and made seats for us to sit on, and then writing
desks had to be arranged. They managed to get a piece of board large enough for two or three to sit on
and write at one time. When all was completed, they procured a teacher by the name of Howard, who
lived on Lot 7, in the Seventh Concession of West Nissouri. He used to come from there everyday and
teach the school. This was the first school that my sister and I went to. The next teacher we had was
Jacob D. Allan. He taught for about $10 a month and his board. The book which we used was one which
was called Webster's Spelling Book, and consisted of the A, B and C in first part, and spelling and reading.
This school was burned down and larger one subsequently built. A new teacher had to be procured and a
Frenchman, living where Thorndale is now situated, was recommended. One of the questions asked him was :
"Can you teach grammar?" He did not understand and they then asked him, "Are you a grammarian?"
To this he replied, "No, I am a Frenchman." He was not engaged.
Here are the names of five good elders who came and preached to us in the old log schoolhouse from
Sunday to Sunday: Elder Vining, who lived near where Thorndale is, Elder Baily who lived near
Dreeney's Corners, Elder Brown who lived near Medina, Elder Harriss of Zoro who lived near Embro,
Elder Turner who lived on the Governor's Road, east of Campbell's Corners.
There wre three places at which we used to attend worship: One in the Vining Settlement, one in the
Burn's Settlement, and one north of Thamesford. About 1838, a sect in our nieghborhood, calling
themselves Millwrights, created a commotion by prophesying that the world would come to an end on
the 6th day of April. There were about three feet of snow on the level and they predicted that it would
turn to grass and burn up the world. Some were foolish enough to believe it. If they had any stock
that was fat enough for beef, they killed it and asked their neighbors in to help eat it up. The craze
actually ruined some of the people in Nissouri.
Not long after this a circumstance occurred which caused me to believe that the world was actually
coming to an end. The stars commenced to fall like large flakes of snow. They started to fall some
time about midnight and continued to fall thick and fast till daylight. They seemed to come about six
feet from the ground and disappear. It was a meteorlogical disturbance.
Mother used to weave for the country people round about, and there are some of the old apple trees
and one pear that is bearing fruit yet, of which she paid for by weaving for one old Mr. German, who lived
two miles north of where Medina now stands, as near as I can remember. The trees are 65 years old.
There was not a spot of land cleared large enough to set out an orchard as they should be. Father
fenced off a piece of ground about two rods square close to the house, and set the trees into it, until
he had a piece of land cleared large enough to set them out as a orchard should be. In those days
fish were plenty and we could catch a mess of them whenever we wanted to. I remember well one night
after school catching forty speckled trout in one haul with my hands in the creek that crosses the
old farm. We used to catch barrels of suckers, salt them down, and they would last us till they came
again , the next spring. I have seen father feed them to the cows in the spring.
I will tell you now what my father's farm implements consisted of. An axe which was good, and better
than they are at this present time, a hoe, with iron enough in it to make half a dozen of such hoes
as they use now; a pitch fork after the same sort; a sickle for cutting grain; a scythe for mowing;
a hand rake to rake and bind the hay also. He had a cradle for cutting the grain, if he wanted to get
along with it farther than he would with the sickle. His harrow was in the shape of an A, which
we called a crotched harrow, and which consisted of tough elm poles, halved together at the front,
and fastened securely each side, extending back six feet along with a piece pinned across the
centre to keep it in shape, with about eleven teeth made of inch and a half irons driven through it.
We would harrow about one acre a day.
I remember the Mackenzie rebelion well. It was in the year 1837. He started to get up companies
on Norwich, held meetings there, thold them that he could take Canada and made writings.
Several men signed them as volunteers and kept the writings in an old valise, so that the government
could not find them. They buried the valise on the farm on which my wife was living at that time.
She was only about eight years old. The authorities expected they were on this man's farm,
somewhere. They went there and told him that if he would tell them where it was, they would not
harm him. He told them where they could find it buried in a field. Mackenzie made his escape out
of the country and they went and found the valise. Seven men's names were signed on the
papers. The men were arrested, and taken to the London Jail. Lish Hall of Ingersoll had so much
to say that they were going to take him also. They went to get him, but he was sick at the time
and not able to take. They guarded the house with guns for several days and nights.
He knew if they took him, he would share the same fate of the seven men they had taken. Father
and I were in Ingersoll the day that Hall, dressed in his wife's clothes, came out and went down
to the spring to get a pail of water. When he did not return in sufficient time they expected that it
was he who had gone, so they rushed in the room and found that he had been taken. The searchers
expected to find him at Dennis Horseman's one mile from where we lived. They made a diligent
search for him even running the bayonets down through the hay. They did not find him, however,
as Mr Hall got into Michigan and saved his life. The seven men they had taken to London had
their trial, were found guilty of rebelling against their country, and condemned to be hung on a certain
day in the winter. They were brought out and hanged in the same yard in which the jail now stands.
Their friends, knowing the day that they were to be hung, drove to London to get their dead bodies.
They got them and proceeded home.
On one occasion I was nearly killed by a bear. I was seeing a young lady home, who had come to
visit us. I had got within forty rods of my home, when a bear crossed my path. I ran and it chased
me. I reached home before it caught me, however. We fired at the animal through the window
but did not kill it.
After talking over all that I have written and a great deal more, and hoping that if we all never meet
together on the old homestead again, we shall all prepare ourselves to meet our father and mother
in a better land, who have gone on before, and form a happy family as we used to be in the old home
years ago, we all shook hands and left for our several places of abode, the farthest one living away
from home now being in the city of London. I will now sign my name in behalf of my brothers and sister.

Notes for ELMER LORNE CODY:
From page 194 "Day Family History" is a news article from "The Nissouri Nudger" at Evelyn,
Ontario, Canada dated July 15, 1911and Titled: "The Days have their Day". On Friday, June 30
at the home of Mr Elmir (sic) Cody, Cody's Corners, the annual reunion of the Day family took place.
Members of this family to the number of about 150 gathered from Detroit, Toronto, Port Huron,
Chatham, London, Ingersoll, Woodstock, Brantford, Hamilton, Orangeville and New York.
Shaking hands and greetings occupied the forenoon. About 12 o'clock the happy party was summoned
to the orchard, where a long table was spred with the very best that Ontario produces, and here
they all sat down and prepared themselves for the strenuous work of the afternoon - the sports -
which were under the management of Messrs. Ernie, Samuel, Arthur and Fred Day, and James Ferguson,
Mrs. F. Matheson, Miss Connor and Mrs. A. McKinnon. The several events were amusing, and it
was noteworthy that the single young men and women won all the contests, the married people not getting
so much as a look in. This was unusual. Altogether the gathering this year was as happy and pleasing as
any of the many that have been held. To Mr. and Mrs. Cody and their family is due in a great measure
the success of this year's gathering. They worked indefiatigably for some weeks planning to give
everyone a good time, and they succeeded. Next year the picnic will be held at the home of Mr. Hugh Day.

Marriage Notes for KAY DAY and SARAH HARRISON:
Kay Day and Sarah Cribb Day are listed in the Day Family History as the parents of several
children, beginning with Fred Day on Sept 21, 1894. However, in the Ontario Marriage Index
1857-1899, Vol 3, a different wife, also a Harrison, is listed as marrying Kay Day as follows:
Day, Kay; Spouse: Harrison, Minnie; Date of Marriage: Feb 18, 1895; Marriage Place: Ingersoll;
Source Code, 009195 Microfilm Reel # 86.
Is it possible that Sarah died in childbirth with Fred and her possible sister, Minnie came to care
for the infant and then married Kay?? Full marriage application needed which would show parents
of both Sarah and Minnie, and Kay Day as well.

Notes for NELSON F DAY:
Nelson's death notice was completed incorrectly by the physician who entered place of
birth as Missouri US, perhaps not aware of the township Nissouri in Oxford county.However,
he entered the age of Nelson as 73 yrs 3mos and 15 days which computes exactly to his birth
date of 08 Aug 1844.

entered it as N on the 1914 Affidavit for WW I Canadian Soldiers.
