Markgraf, Hans, Peter and Traudl
BUArtColl · Famille · ca. 1958-1970

"Silkscreen artists Hans, Peter, and Traudl Markgraf participated in several reproduction programs to promote Canadian art after they immigrated to Canada from Germany in the mid-1950s. The Markgrafs developed a silkscreen process noted for its printing quality and its faithfulness to the original painting. The National Gallery of Canada became involved with the Markgrafs in the mid-1950s when Montreal collector and philanthropist Sidney Dawes introduced then Gallery director Alan Jarvis to the work of the Markgrafs. A collector of the work of James Wilson Morrice, Dawes arranged for the reproduction of Morrice's work, the production of which he financed. The National Gallery also arranged for the Markgrafs to reproduce works by seven other artists from its collection, financed by the Queen's Printer in Ottawa. In 1959, the Markgraf brothers and the Gallery produced a series of "Tom Thomson and Group of Seven" pochoir (silkscreen) prints. Following their partnership with the National Gallery in 1960, the Markgrafs continued on their own, with Hans leaving Canada for Germany and Peter partnering with Artistica, a Montreal-based publisher and distributor of fine art prints, books, and cards. In 1967, the Canada Council partnered with Peter Markgraf to produce prints that focused on contemporary Canadian art. Following this project, the Markgrafs continued to print work for private clients under "Editions Markgraf". In 1977, the Markgrafs moved to Vancouver to work for Bill Ellis of Canadian Native Prints Ltd. They continued to print for individual artists and after 1978, created their own silkscreens of west coast scenery that were later reproduced as lithographs. In the United Nations year of International Cooperation, the Markgrafs printed four Jamaican paintings through Robie Kidd."

Hunting (family)
Famille

Seth et William Hunting, les fondateurs de Huntingville et participants actifs à l’établissement de l’Église universaliste dans ce village, sont les premiers Hunting à s’établir dans les Cantons-de-l’Est. Nés à Hubbardston, au Massachusetts, William et Seth Hunting comptent parmi les quatre enfants de William Hunting et de Lydia Wheelock. William Hunting (1784-1832), leur fils aîné, et Mary (Polly) Stone (1782-1853) se marient en 1809 et déménagent par la suite à Templeton, au Massachusetts, d’où vient la famille de Mary. Mary est la fille aînée de Catharine Wyman et Leonard Stone, second époux de Catharine. Auparavant, Catharine a épousé en premières noces Aaron Kendall, qui meurt après dix ans de mariage, en 1881. De son premier mariage, la mère de Mary (Polly) Stone avait déjà trois enfants. Les liens familiaux du côté des Stone sont significatifs dans la famille Hunting car celle-ci reçoit une abondante correspondance de ces parents des États-Unis. Après la naissance de deux filles en 1809 et 1811, William et Mary Polly Hunting déménagent dans le canton d’Ascot, dans la province du Bas-Canada, en 1812. Même si la raison de ce déménagement n’est pas certaine, il est probable qu’ils y ont été attirés par des parents de Mary Stone qui étaient déjà partis s’installer vers le nord.

En 1815, Seth Hunting (1788-1872) emmène sa nouvelle épouse, Nancy Davis, dans les Cantons-de-l’Est et achète du terrain le long de la rivière Salmon, devenue rivière Ascot, ce qui sera le futur site de Huntingville. À ce moment, William et sa famille déménagent quittent Ascot pour venir rejoindre Seth là où il avait choisi de s’établir. Seth et Nancy Hunting ont six enfants : Stephen (1815-1841), Susan (1816-1886), Henry W. (1830-1896), William Seth (1865-1950), Fredrick A. (1867-1868 et Charles P. (1864-1931). Bien que la terre où les moulins seront éventuellement situés appartienne à Seth, il semble que celui-ci soit plus agriculteur que meunier et que ce serait William qui aurait construit les moulins.

William Hunting et Mary (Polly) Stone ont six enfants : Betsey (1809-1832), Catharine (1811-1838), William (1815-1892), Leonard (1820-1842), Lyman E. (1821-1850) et Ephraim, mort en très bas âge. William Hunting construit et exploite le premier barrage sur la rivière et construit par la suite un moulin à blé et un moulin à bois sur ses rives. Il exploite aussi un autre moulin sur la rivière Eaton. À son décès, en 1832, son fils aîné, William, reprend les moulins bien qu’il n’ait que 17 ans. En 1838, les jeunes frères de William, Leonard et Lyman, travaillent aux moulins. Dans les années 1840, Lyman a quitté les moulins pour travailler au Fuller General Store à Lennoxville, en raison de sa santé fragile due à une maladie pulmonaire, et vit à certaines périodes aux États-Unis. Les descendants de William Hunting fils ont exploité le moulin à bois et le moulin à blé jusqu’à 1960, alors qu’un incendie a détruit les deux édifices. En 1961, une usine de rabotage a été construite et exploitée par Hunting, avant d’être fermée définitivement, mais l’édifice est toujours là, au bord de la rivière Ascot, à Huntingville.

Scott Family
Famille

Hiram Scott and his son, Levi mentioned in the following documents, are descendants of Daniel Scott (1751-1829) the Loyalist, who moved around 1803 into Dunham Township and settled in the area known as Scottsmore. Daniel had served under Col. Peters in Major Jessup's Corps. After the end of the war in 1784 he was living in the Loyalist refugee camp in Sorel, and later, on Caldwell's Manor until 1803 where most of his children, four sons and a daughter were born. The four sons were Capt. Lemuel, Daniel, Jonathan, Pliny and the daughter was Abigail. This family married with other families that had moved into the Sweetsburgh area, the Shufelts, Churches, Pettes, Vails, Hastings, Pickel and others.

Hiram, son of Capt. Lemuel, married Katherine Shufelt and their home, as thedeeds indicate, was in West Brome on McCutcheon Road, and they built the brick house on that property. This was, in more recent years, the home of Robert and Mary (Taber) McCutcheon.

As the deeds show, Levi Scott, son of Hiram, sold the farm to David Beattie in 1880. It came into McCutcheon possession later because David's daughter, Sarah Ann Beattie, married William McCutcheon.

Luther Scott, mentioned in the 1882 deed was a brother of Levi's and so the above home was where he was brought up also. He is said to have married Emily Armington of Dunham in that house.

Ira Scott mentioned in 1874 was a son of Jonathan and Susannah (Pickel) Scott, and so was a cousin of Hiram Scott. A sister of Ira's, Elmira married David Aitken of East Dunham whose descendant by the same name (Dave Aitken) has lived near Call's Mills in West Brome in recent years.

The 1866 deed should be an interesting one to members of the Beattie family of East Dunham which shows, in acquiring some of their land, they had to deal with the descendants of the Hon. Thomas Dunn, to whom the Township of Dunham was granted in 1796.

Famille Ward (Thetford, Qué)
Famille

Robert G. Ward fils (1837-1907) est né à Saint-Jean-de-Brébeuf (appelé « Lower Ireland » avant 1930) dans le comté de Mégantic. Fils du révérend Robert G. Ward et de Marianne Turriff, il se marie avec Annie M. Cairns, fille de Hamby Cairns et Susan Meagher, née en 1861 et décédée en 1936. Ensemble, ils ont neuf enfants : Robert Grant, dit Bob (1883-?), Hamby Ward (1884-?), Alexander Harry (1885-1964), John Albert (1888-1942), Charles Edgar (1890-1891), James Turriff (1892-?), Annie Maria (1893-1893), Peter Douglas (1895-1977?) et Albion Tudor (1898-1962). En 1876, on trouve de l’amiante dans l’un des champs sur les terres de Robert G. Ward fils, ce qui l’amène à s’intéresser à l’exploitation minière. Il achète ensuite des droits miniers dans le canton de Thetford et ainsi s’amorcent les activités minières de la famille Ward.

Albion T. Ward, mineur, a eu deux femmes : Nita Hammerick/Hammerich, avec qui il se marie en 1925 mais dont il divorce en 1944, et Doris Christine Peterson (1913-1986). Robert Grant Ward, troisième du nom, part à l’ouest pour travailler dans une mine d’or dans sa jeunesse, mais déjà en 1903, il s’était tourné vers une carrière de boxeur amateur à San Francisco. Ses exploits lui valent le titre de champion poids lourd amateur des États-Unis et plus tard, de champion poids lourd professionnel du Commonwealth. Il reviendra plus tard au Québec pour se lancer dans l’exploitation minière. Alexander Henry Ward, dit Harry, se marie avec Agnes Gertrude Moore (née en 1899), fille de William Moore et Sarah Elizabeth Robinson. Ensemble, ils ont sept enfants : Dorothy, dite Dolly (née en 1917), Kathleen (née en 1919), Evelyn (née en 1919), Agnes (1921-1921), Robert (1923-1923), Marjorie (née en 1924) et Lois (née en 1928). Lois T. Ward se marie avec Wilfred Alan Greatrex en Ontario, en 1950.
