| Notes: Henry Alexander McNaught was born 4 Apr 1857 in Brantford, Brant County, Ontario.
His parents were John McNaught, born 1810 in Scotland, and Margaret Campbell, born
1816 in Scotland. Some sources give her last name as Jackson, but she was a widow,
so which was her maiden name is not known.
This was the second marriage for John McNaught, a widower,
who already had eight children from his first wife, Sarah Kirkpatrick. John McNaught's second family consisted of James, born in 1853, Sarah Mary Ann, born in 1855, our Henry Alexander, born in 1857, and Joseph Young, born in 1859. In 1858, the year after Henry was born, his father John bought a farm along the Burford Road in Brant Township. Subsequently, the family moved to Grey Twp., Huron. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In the 1861 Canada census, John McNaught and Margaret were living on their farm named
"Deerbank" located on Conc. 18, Lots 30, 31, and 32, Grey Twp., Huron, Ontario.
This farm had originally been owned with mortgage by John's oldest son Thomas
McNaught. Living with them were his and their children and a Robert McNaught,
relationship unknown. The children were David, age 21, Thomas, 19, Frances, 17,
William, 15, John, 13, James, 12, Mathilda, 11, Henry, 8, Sarah, 6, and Joseph, 4.
Deerbank consisted of 195 acres of land, with a two story log cabin on Lot 32.
In 1861, 32 acres of land was being farmed. In the 1871 Canada census, the children were listed as Thomas, age 29, bookkeeper, Fanny, 27, teacher, William, 25, Clerk, Matilda, 22, John, 21, laborer, James, 17, farmer, Sarah, 15, Henry, 14, and Joseph, 12. John McNaught died 8 Dec 1873, and his farms were left to his wife Margaret. In 1880, she divided them among her sons and stepsons. Henry Alexander became the owner of Lots 31 and 32 of Conc. 18, the majority of Deerbank Farm. In the 1881 Canada census, Henry, age 24, was listed as head of household, which included his sister Sarah, 26, and his widowed mother Margaret, 62. Margaret lived with Henry's family until her death on 10 Sep 1889. 
Henry married Rebecca Dunn Detwiller on 5 Oct 1881 in the Avonbank Presbyterian Church
in Fullarton Twp., Perth. Henry, seen in the photograph to the left, was a
beekeeper and a farmer. About 1900, he sold a strip of land to the Guelph &
Goderich Railroad Company. The rails were a way to move his crops to market,
and a rail stop bore the name "McNaught".Henry and Rebecca's first child Alberta was born in 1882, followed by Russell in 1884, David Vernon in 1885, Minnie Ethel in 1888, Harry Lorne in 1889. The 1891 Canada census records these children. James Fergus was born later in 1891, followed by Ida Beth in 1896, and Sarah Mildred in 1899. The 1901 Canada census shows the entire family living together on the Deerbank Farm. Sarah died later in 1901, just short of her second birthday. Henry was a witness to the marriage of Isabella Detwiller, his sister-in-law, and O. Nelson Rushworth, on 2 Apr 1903.
