Roberta Gillies and Mildred Gillies, Executrixes of the Estate of Mary Christina Wilkje, by their solicitors, Messrs. Lawlor, LeClaire, Stong & Nevins, Barristers & Solicitors, 10265 Yonge Street, Richmond Hill. Ontario. Sears introduces their Richmond Hill Store Man- ager, Mr. D. A. Youmans. Mr. Youmans joined Simp- sons-Sears in 1956 and has since been involved in the opening of seven new stores. During the past 18 years, he has held the positions of Personnel Manager, Credit and Customer Service Man- ager, Merchandise Manager, and Operating Superintend- ent. Mr. Youmans is mar- ried with three children and is now residing in Thornhill. He brings to the store a great deal of experience and is looking forward to serv- ing the community. In “Infant Toronto" by John Andoc, the following is recorded: On a trip back from Pennsylvania in 1793 Munshaw assisted Berczy in bringing his settlers to Mark- ham. “The Sleigh road on Yonge North of Thornhill is referred to as ‘the road to Simpsons-Sears Ltd. Bolsar came with his wife and five children and subâ€" sequently had five more, born in the area of Rich- mond Hill. Mr. Taylor quotes Mary O'Brien's Journal as recording that Munshaw had 43 grandchildren in 1830 and reports that he himself had found almost 60. Mr. Taylor reported that according to Richmond Hill's local historian, William Har- rison who wrote a series of historical articles for "The Liberal" in 1888-89) Bolsar Munshaw came to lot 51, Concession 1 Vaughan Town- ship in 1792. from Pennsyl- vania, the year Lieutenant- Governor John Graves Simcoe advertised in the Pennsylvania papers for im- migrants. IThis lot is' the 200 acres immediately north of the Elgin Mills Sideroad on the west side of Yonge Street and was the first to be settled in this area.) This prompted William Taylor of Hilldale Road, Aurora, to offer his congra- tulations to council for re- membering early citizens. He was particularly interes- ted in the name Munshaw since his wife is the great- great-great-granddaughter of Bolsar Munshaw, Richmond Hill‘s first settler. In May this year Rich- mond HilLCouncil published its intent to change the name of Maple Avenue 'south from Carrville Road. east of Yonge Street) to Munshaw Road. 12 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Wednesday, Aug. 7, 1974 Bolsar Munshaw And His Family Were First Settlers In The Hill NOTICE TofiEmTons AND OTHERS In the Estate of Mary Christina Wilkie D.
