There was another Blackstock who came to Canada at the same time as Edward. His name was William Blackstock. From census entries he would have been born 1796 in Scotland. He purchased the land on which Edward and his family lived. On tax records, Edward was listed as being the property owner; but William did not sell the land to him until 1865. We believe that he was a brother. William never married and is difficult to track because of it. Doug Blackstock had found a William Blackstock in early records for New Zealand. We think that he got the money to purchase the property in Canada while he was in New Zealand. Another of the brothers, James was a mariner. So it makes sense that they travelled.
