Notes |
- James moved to Upper Canada in 1825.
In 1844 came West of the town of Elgin, called Almora and bought 80 acres. Here he built a log cabin and began to farm. In the seasons when he could not farm, he got a teaching job which brought in more money to buy mor land. In 1845 returned to the East and brought his family in an oxen-driven wagon.
In 1846 bought the estate of Malcolm Mc Millian; first land was bought from Samuel Willaby.
He has owned 300 acres; valued as of 1878 as $75 per acre. He had bought the land from settlers who did not have the skill he had in making the land yield big crops.
By 1883, he had built a beautiful new home for his large family on the Big Timber Road. All the lumber was hauled from Chicago. The floors downstairs were inlaid with walnut and maple. A buttery as large as some kitchens was an outstanding feature. His home was considered one of the finest residences in the township. (Kane Co., Dundee)
Was one of the original pro-salvery men, at a time when it was worth something to hold such views.
Bill of Sale for cemetery lot number Two in Block number 16 for the sum of $3, pay to Orlando Davidson, Caroline A. Davidson, James H. Gifford, Fulton Gifford and Sarah F. Gifford, heirs, and Laura, widow of th James T. Gifford.
From Elgin Evening Advocate:

His demise had been expected fro some little time and death was a happy release from pain. He had lived in this section in the neighborhood for 40 years and was respected by all acquaintances.

The funeral was held at the First Baptist Church at 2 o'clock on the afternoon of Sunday, which would of been his 69th birthday. Rev. E.K. Colver, of Chicgo, an old friend will officiate.
