From Maria Grant McQuaig

n 1912 Henry McQuaig my husband’s health began to fail, he had heart trouble and took weak spells and I would make him a warm drink and give him some light nourishmend which would always revive him.

On July 2nd 1914 he took a weak spell while we were in the parlor talking to his brother James’ wife who was visiting here from the West and who has since passed away. And as usual I helped him to the couch, got the warm drink and in a short time he was better and walking around out of doors and took his tea with Wesley and me and went to bed and rested good till towards morning, when he said to me “light the lamp I want to go downstairs. I did so and came down with him and he turned quite ill so Wesley went over for Dr. Reddick and he gradually grew worse and in a few days we sent for Dr. Lock, but there was no help this time, but the two Drs. kept coming and did all they could for him and he suffered a great deal and needed constant attention day and night. So Wesley quit his work to help me attend to him and Wesley’s uncle Wm. Imrie came down to Winchester to attend Mrs. Wm. Christie’s funeral as she passed away July 12th, and he stayed to help us for by this time we had to lift him.

A few mornings before he passed away while at family prayer we were all greatly blessed together, it seemed as if the very heavens were opened to us and he began to pray and quote passages of scripture with us and on the following morning we thought he was asleep so we knelt just inside the door of another room so as not to disturb him, but he was not asleep and said “I wish you had prayed out here, I heard you, but I could have heard you better here and God has answered your prayer.” And on the morning of the 16th July he passed quietly away to be forever with the Lord.

My dear Sister Mrs. Imrie came and she with her husband staid a week with us. On July 18th 1914 The funeral which was held in the Methodist church was conducted by our pastor Rev. F.H.Sproule and his remains were laid away in the Maple Ridge Cemetery there to await the resurrection morn.

Notes:

Malcolm was born in 1804 as confirmed by multiple sources. The place has always been iffy ranging from Scotland to all over Northern Ireland. In Maria Grant’s Manuscript “A Brief Sketch of the Life of Maria Amelia McQuaig” she recounts details about her husband, father-in-law, and other McQuigg ancestors.

Henry McQuaig’s father’s name was Malcolm; he was of Scotch descent, but born in Ireland, County Derry, Parish of Asha Dewy, town of Colrain.

Malcolm’s wife’s maiden name was Jane Brown.

To them were born six sons, and five daughters Elizabeth ,Mary, Jane, Sarah, Margaret, Robert, Henry, James, John, William and Thomas.

These children were all born in Ireland, and Robert and Henry remained three years in Ireland after the rest came to Canada.

Sometime between 1824-1825, Malcolm was know to have attended collage at the Belfast Royal Institute. After three semester he did not receive his General Degree.

In 1826 Malcolm was head master at private school in Droghed. He was paid between 25 and 30 pounds per year teaching in a brick and stone schoolhouse that cost 100 pounds.

In the 1831 Irish Census there was a Henry Quigg in Bovagh Townland, Agahdowey, Londonderry, Northern Ireland with a family of 6 males and 2 females. Also in the 1831 Irish Census there is a Henry Quigg living in Culcrow Townland, Agivey, Londonderry, Northern Ireland with a family of 4 males and 3 females.

When Henry died is the question. James Malcolm left home in 1847 for Canada and left behind his two sons in the care of his brother, John, and sister, Catherine, in the home of his father. In 1850, John marries and his two oldest sons join him in Canada. There I am going to presume from the family history that Henry died in 1847.

Notes:

Upon a lot of introspection I have changed this surname from McCauley to McAuley. First I could never find any McCauley families in the area but plent of McAuley. Secondly I have seen this spelling mistake made before.
