James Campbell Family Saga and Lost Home in Esquesing
Halvin's pages recount James Campbell and his wife Janet leaving Scotland in 1833 with four sons. After tragedy and peril, James settles in Esquesing township Ontario buying 200 acres, while Janet and a newborn daughter Janet reunite years later in Toronto. The story ends with a plea for readers to identify the Esquesing farm and any descendants.
