 The following story, written by Bessie (Laidlaw) Butchard, again shows the pioneering spirit, initiative and perseverance of our ancestors in Upper Canada. Copied from The History of the Robert Saunders Family Book compiled in 1973.

0ne of James Ross Laidlaw's ancestors first came to Canada in 1819 and, though not trained as a teacher, taught for a time in Economy, Nova Scotia, then moved west to old "York", sent a letter by courier, home to Ettrick in Ettrick County, Scotland, asking his father and brothers to come to Canada. Two did come with their father and, for a time, lived where now stands, Toronto's Metropolitan Church, making their living by gardening, and when the so-called Queen's Bush was opened to settlers, took up several farm lands in Esquesing Twp., Halton County. There was a respect for and love of learning in these people, for many doctors, clergymen and lawyers in and around Halton and York, owe their beginnings to this Group in "The Scotch Block" in Esquesing Twp., Halton Co., Ont.

James Ross Laidlaw's father built the first brick house in Barrie, Ont. Although still quite young, he died of typhoid fever five years after he had completed the house. His wife and family of three small children moved back to the area of the family in Halton Co. James R. Laidlaw, to aid his mother, worked from age fourteen on - first as a clerk in the Detwiler Hardware in Harriston. He aided his sister, Kate, to become a teacher and his sister, Nan, to secure her musical education to become a Music teacher. My Aunt Polly Hutcheson told me he had done a great deal to aid his mother in his savings toward books and tuition. He then went to Paisley to serve in Mr. Tom Pinch's hardware store. When Mr. Pinch moved to Victoria, B.C., he wished James to continue in the hardware business, as Mr. Pinch looked upon James almost as a son. But my father was persuaded by members of his wife's family to become Asst. Postmaster instead - his mother-in-law, the widow of James Saunders, being the Postmistress. The Paisley post-office remained in the Saunders and Laidlaw name for close to forty years, Jas Laidlaw becoming assistant for the last number of years of this time.

James Laidlaw was also a partner for ten years, in the Ballachey -Laidlaw General Store in Paisley. He gave up this work and the post-office in 1917, to engage in business elsewhere. Misfortune in the form of a fire completely destroyed his business and plans. Ill-health caused his death in 1939.

Events

• He worked as a carpenter in 1861 in Esquesing Twp, Halton Co, Ontario, Canada.

John married Elizabeth ROSS, daughter of William ROSS and Catherine McPHERSON. Elizabeth was born in 1840 in , Monroe Co, New York, USA,28 died on October 6, 1915 in Toronto, York Co, Ontario, Canada, aged 75, and was buried in Boston Cemetery Esquesing Twp, Halton, Ontario, Canada.

 " James Laidlaw's mother was Elizabeth Ross. Her people, from Inverness, Scotland, came to Rochester, USA before she was born. Her Father was a miller in Rochester. She lost her mother early and was later sent to her mother's people, the MacPherson's, in the "Scotch Block" in Halton Co, Ontario, where she met and married John Laidlaw."
