| Richard and Elizabeth Havill left England on
the 29th March 1832 and sailed to America arriving at New York on the
8th May. They lived at Black Rock near Buffalo, New York State for almost 5 years prior to moving to Allanburgh, Canada West in March 1837. They lived at Allanburgh for 16 years before purchasing in 1853 what was to become the family farm at Rainham, Haldimand County from Robert George Hagar for £1000. The current owner Richard Havill is the 6th generation of the Havill family to have lived and worked on the farm. George Riley has visited the farm and met with Richard and members of his family on two occasions, the most recent being this summer (2006). Richard has generously provided access to the family bible which provides a wealth of information on the history of this particular Havill family. |
