| Fonctions : | John Ireland (1839-1904) was the first member of the family to be born in Ireland House and was the seventh child of eight born to Joseph and Ruth Ireland. He was named after an older brother who had died in 1829 at the age of 3. When John was 21, he traveled to England in search of a wife. In 1860, he met and married Elizabeth Breckinfield (1837-1861); in 1861 she gave birth to their daughter, Mary Ruth. Sadly, that same year both mother and daughter died within ten days of each other. Mary Ruth was only four months old. In 1868, John married his second wife, a local girl by the name of Eliza Ann Naisbitt (1846-1900). John and Eliza had 12 children together, all of whom survived to adulthood. In 1886, John was the president of the Township of Nelson Association for the Apprehension and Conviction of Horse Thieves. He was also listed as a director of the Fruit Growers Association in the 1896 FGA Report. John passed away in 1904, leaving the farm to his unmarried children still living at home. George Ireland, their tenth child, took over the farm in 1917. |
