William emigrated to Canada with his family in April 1832 aboard the Columbus from Whitby, North Yorkshire to Quebec.

7. Matthew HARRISON (1822-January 5, 1887)
m. 1. Ann HEWGILL (August 9, 1829-July 17, 1869) (converted to Catholicism June 17, 1869) on May 29, 1849 in St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church, Wildfield, Peel County. Ann Hewgill was buried on the Harrison farm on Lot 9, Concession 10, Toronto Gore Township along with at least one child. The cemetery will be protected and preserved as part of the residential development of the property. It is a mystery why she was buried here but I speculate that there was a tug-of-war over her body after her death. Given that she only converted to Catholicism one month before her death I am guessing that Matthew Harrison wanted her buried at St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Cemetery in Wildfield and her father William Hewgill wanted her buried at the Hilltop Gore Methodist Cemetery. Burial on the farm seems to have been a compromise for all concerned. The cemetery can be viewed here. Ann Hewgill's white marble tombstone lying flat on the ground can be easily seen under the tree in the centre - part of the original apple orchard.
