ROBERTSON : response
An article on the
SIMONS family (Ontario Historical Society Papers and
Records pp 470-492, vol. 23, 1926) contains an interesting statement that
is somewhat at variance with the information given in the query.
"Colonel (Titus
GREER/GRIER)
SIMONS had three daughters, but no sons.
The two elder daughters married two brothers, Messrs.
ROBERTSON,
Barristers, of Goderich, one of whom, Thomas, later was elevated to a
judicial position at Osgoode Hall in Toronto."
Marriage bonds exist for Alexander and Ross
ROBERTSON and their
respective
SIMONS brides, but there is a third bond for Thomas
ROBERTSON
and Charlotte
FISH, both of London, 1832, with bondsmen show as
Ira SCHOFIELD and William
ROBERTSON.
The names of these bondsmen certainly seem to connect this marriage bond
to the family mentioned in the query.
The 1857 Directory of the Province of Ontario shows Thomas
ROBERTSON,
barrister, residing in Dundas.

SPAUN/SPOHN :
SPRINGSTEEN/
STEAD/
STEED :(response)
There is a marriage record for this family that give Adelia
SPOHN's
maiden name as
WITHERAL, not
SPRINGSTEEN :
Elgin Co Mar Register, vol 2 page 41 :
Charles SPOHN, 23 of Saint Thomas, born Canada,
son of Peter L.
SPOHN and Delia
WITHERAL
married on 24 Jan 1866 to Selina
COLE age 23 of Saint Thomas, born England,
dtr of Samuel
COLE and Mary
ROCKEY.
They were married by Reverend George
CUTHBERTSON of Saint Thomas, Presb,
with Robert
CARRIE of Saint Thomas as witness.
The same mar reg shows the 1865 marriage of Wesley
SPOHN of Ancaster
(son of Philip) to Eliza
GRIFFIN of Sparta, so there was certainly some
movement of the
SPOHN family back and forth between the Ancaster and
Saint Thomas areas.
