1832
The CROMWELL family, relatives of RACHAEL SIMONS, arrived from Cortober.
This party included widower JAMES CROMWELL b. 1777, and his children, THOMAS CROMWELL and wife MARGARET CLEMENTS WALLACE, and JANE CROMWELL, single, age 28.
GEORGE SUITOR and wife MARGARET ARMSTRONG, also left Cortober in 1832, along with their infant son, and GEORGE SUITOR's two teenage brothers. All settled in St-Sylvestre.
1835
Three of MARGARET CLEMENTS WALLACE's brothers arrived from Cortober, and settled in St-Sylvestre, namely
JAMES WALLACE and wife SARAH CROMWELL, b. 1806, and their daughter JANE, and JAMES WALLACE's unmarried
brother and sister, JOHN WALLACE age 23, and AGNES WALLACE, age 17.
SARAH CROMWELL was the daughter of JAMES CROMWELL who had come out in 1832.

This 1883 item is of interest in relation to WALLACE family.
1883
THOMAS SIMONS of Cortober, nephew of PRUDENCE and RACHEL, came to Ireland township with his wife MARGARET MCADAM.
They brought along THOMAS' mother, the widow MRS. ANN SIMONS, sister of the WALLACES who came to St-Sylvestre in 1832 and 1835.
ANN died three days after arrival, perhaps from exhaustion and the excitement of being reunited with her children after a separation of some 20 years, and with her brothers and sisters, some of whom she had not seen in 48 years. THOMAS SIMONS and his wife moved to Crysler, Ontario in 1885.
