[JAMES] SECOND LEGISLATURE OF UPPER CANADA 169 



9. Susanne (born 1814), married James Dougall, of Windsor. 



10. Charles Jean (born and died 1816). 



11. Alfred (born 1817). 



12. Thaddeus (born 1820). 



Parshall Terry: The name — Young, as one of the members of 

 the First Legislature, had, for many years, puzzled me, and I was un- 

 able to locate the man or bis riding until the finding of The Quebec 

 Magazine for December, 1792, by Mr. Phileas Gagnon, referred to in 

 my previous paper, set me on the track. The correct name was Par- 

 shall Terry. A careless \Aaii)ting of the name " Terry^' by Dr. William 

 l-annilT, or by some one for bim, led hiln or the compositor to read it 

 '•' Young, " and so it was printed. Subsequent writers followed the 

 wrong name, and the mistake thus came into many books and pamph- 

 lets. I got the correction last year just in time to insert it in the final 

 proof, but too late to add any notes. 



References to Parshall Terry will be found in the three volumes of 

 '•' Landmarks of Toronto," by Mr. Jobn Ross Robertson, as follows : 

 Vol. 1, p. 427; Vol. 2, p. 994; Vol. 3, p. 297. He was the only member 

 of his family who sided with the British. He belonged, to Butler's 

 Rangers and settled at first at Niagara. He followed Siancoe and ihà 

 troops to York and settled in the Don Valley. His neighbours were 

 the Eastwood, Skinner and Helliwell families. Terry built mills at the 

 head of Broadview avenue. He married Rhoda Skinner, and had five 

 daughters who married the following persons : Edward William Thom- 

 son of Toronto Township, George Thomson of Scarboro, Dr. Lee 

 Loudon, Lt.-Col. Farquharson, and James Cornell of Scarboro. The 

 last of his family died in 1875. After his death his widow married 

 AVilliam Cornell. She lived to a great age. Parshall Terry was 

 drowned in July, 1808, while attempting to cross the Don. His pioneer 

 mill on the Don was succeeded by the old paper mill which stood near 

 the bridge that yet carries across the river the old mill road. 



ADDENDUM. 



Place of Meeting : The mistake has been made more than once of 

 referring one of the sessions of the Second Legislature to Newark or 

 Niagara. There appears to be no doubt whatever as to the places of 

 meeting of tbe various sessions 1792-1800. The five sessions of the 

 First House were all held at Newark, and the four sessions of the Second 

 House were all held at York. The typewritten copies of the Journals, 

 and the earliest printed statutes, confirm this. The little settlement on 

 the west or left bank of the river was variously known as Niagara, West
