• Notes

  BENJ. BURCH, an account of whose sad death by drowning is given in the history of Harrington, was a son of Benjamin Burch, the pioneer. He married Eliza Clark, and settled on the farm in Upper Lachute, now owned by his son, Alfred A. Burch. Some years later, he went to Harrington, took up land and drowned there. He had two sons and three daughters; one of the former died in childhood. One daughter, married, now lives in Manitoba, the other two in Grenville; one married to David Ogilvy, the other is the widow of the late Richard Hoare. --From the History of the Counties of Argenteuil, Quebec & Prescott, Ontario, page 221: (1896)
