My family roots also go back to Archibald Carrothers. Thomas and Nathanial came to Canada together in 1835. Thomas's son Ephraim had an only child Thomas James Carrothers. Some years after Ephraim's wife Isabella died, he and son Tom moved to Manitoba and settled at Austin. Thomas and wife May farmed and had the largest home garden I have ever seen. They had an abundance of fruit trees and made maple syrup from the local inferior maples as well as keeping bees, cattle sheep and chickens. Tom was a registered seed grower and so seemed to have inherited the passion of gardening from his family. Their farm site is kept up at the Austin Agricultural Museum to which Tom and May gave the original 50 acres of land and their farm yard on which the museum is established.
Much of the Carrothers history has been researched by Esther Henry Brown who passed the addiction of geneology to me 18 years ago.

I have a copy of this picture, my grandparents, mother and father and several aunts and uncles are in it. I live in Thedford ont. about 40 miles from London. I have a book - irish immigrants letters from canada. It was passed on to me from my father Walter. I also have a very fragile letter from Paul in Australia. I can trace my roots back to Archibald Carrothers born 1692 died 1775. I happened on your web site by chance, very interesting.
