Hi Rachel:
I was quite surprised to see your querry.My gr-gr-grandfather was James Moffat/t, who was born in the townland of Cadymore, County Armagh, Ireland in 1827.He married Anna Rumley b.1831, at Port Hope, Ont. in 1847 and they had 13 children.From Port Hope they moved to Bloomfield, Ont. and from there to Bobcaygeon in the mid to late 1860's.
My gr-grandfather, John Alexander Moffatt, was b. 1860 in Bloomfield and married Sarah Elizabeth Laird b.1861, at Smithfield, Ont. in 1881.They resided in Bobcaygeon and had 7 children.Although many of the children and grandchildren of John and Sarah left Bobcaygeon, there are still Moffatt descendants in Bobcaygeon today.
I can't say I know of a James Edward, but I don't know the dates for him.If you can give me more detailed info. perhaps we can make a connection.
I would be pleased to share info. with you, and I have many old Moffatt photos.I look forward to hearing from you.
John.
