Descendants of James & Jane (Breakey) Hall
of
Durham & Grey Counties, Ontario, Canada
John W. Hall, Ph.D.
2003
Introduction
Both James Hall (ca. 1816 - ca. 1885) and Jane Breakey (ca. 1817 - 1895) were born in Ireland but we know nothing of their parents. James birthplace may have been County Armagh, a distinction which was later erroneously claimed for his son Samuel. Jane, family tradition has always affirmed, came from Ballybay in County Monaghan, where Breakeys had lived for a century. We do not know when either emigrated to Canada although they are both said to have come "at a young age." When there were married in Port Hope, Ontario in 1835, James was just twenty and Jane barely eighteen.
The couple may have spent their first years together in the United States where their daughter Mary Ann was born. By 1840 they were back in Canada, in Cavan Township, Durham, north of Port Hope. James leased a clergy reserve to farm there though their resources were meagre. During the 1840s they did not have either oxen or horses to work the farm with. All the remaining children were born in Durham were James and Jane continued to farm, slowly improving their circumstances, until 1867 or 1868 when the family moved to St. Vincent Township in Grey. In 1867 their son William, who had previously been a teacher, became a Methodist minister in nearby Owen Sound. James Jr. was also farming in Grey in 1868 but we do not know whether he left home before of after the rest of the family moved. By the time of the move Mary Ann and Frances were married and had left home. Elizabeth also remained behind after her marriage in May 1868. All three daughters and their families eventually moved to Grey.
Over the years, the remaining sons left home one by one, most to become farmers although Thomas became a Methodist minister, Norton a carpenter and Robert a teacher. By the time of the 1881 census only James and Jane's youngest son Henry was still on the farm with them in Collingwood Township. Robert was teaching nearby. James may have died late in the decade as both Robert and Henry moved to British Columbia about 1890. In the 1891 census, Jane, then a widow, was living with her daughter Elizabeth. Jane's name has not been found in the 1901 census and she is presumed to have died in the previous decade.
In all, James and Jane had fourteen children, twelve of whom live to adulthood, and sixty-six known grandchildren, some of whom were born after 1901.
