  • Notes 
    • Research Notes: Byrnes lists birth date as Jun 1814.

      "The History of Middlesex County (Ontario)" states that 'he was reared on his father's farm where he became skilled in the art of woodcraft, but received very meagre educational advantages. What education he obtained was secured in the primitive log schoolhouse of pioneer times'. Margaret Jane was the dau. of Gabriel Manning (b. 1787 in Dutchess Co, NY; d. 8 Sep 1866 in Westminster TWP, Middlesex Co, Ontario) and (m. ca. 1808 in Middlesex Co) to Polly Green (b. 1790 prob. in Dutchess Co, NY; d. 1 Nov 1870 in Westminster TWP, Middlesex Co, Ontario). The Mannings and the Greens were Loyalist families who had lived in Quebec for several years before entering Middlesex Co, Ontario. (Gabriel & Polly, Matthew & Margaret Jane, and 2nd wife Maria Malvina along with other children are buried in the Brick Street Methodist Cemetery on Commissioners Road, London, Ontario. Maria Malvina was a cousin of Margaret Jane, and she and Matthew had 6 children. Matthew left his land, which he had inherited from John & Hannah, to his younger sons, Joseph and Charles Caldwell.
