Maberly: An old landmark of our village was removed this week—the log building in the rear of Mr. Korry’s residence. This was one of the first dwellings erected in Maberly and was built by John McGregor some 40 years ago. It has passed through many hands and sheltered many a weary traveler in the days of yore and if its walls could speak it could tell many a tale from the early days of our village. Mr. Korry will erect a kitchen, and wood shed in its stead.
Today I found this glorious blog called:

Hi Linda, This is kismet. Yesterday I was at Lanark Archives researching the Family Forest, as I call it. I’m twin tagging, Mahon’s and Moss’s. Why not do both sides at the same time. Sanity not be thy name. The Moss’s landed in Maberly in the mid 1840’s. I presume to escape the famine. There is a long history of them there. Thomas Moss, the original settler of the family, built the Moss School. Yesterday I found a transcript of one of Thomas’s sons who was killed building the K&P. It said another brother was killed there a year earlier. Sadly it fills in the missing pieces. I’m a member of LCGS and am wondering if Karen is the go-to-person for that area? I know the location of the original homestead but am trying to fill in some blanks.
I am going to forward your email that I got to Karen.. and see what she says..:) There are always blanks..:( lets see what she says..
