One Man's Family

A pioneer from Crieff, but in this case, Crieff, Perthshire, Scotland, Archibald Watson arrived in Puslinch in 1831. His family followed in 1834. Although we might suppose he would gravitate to Puslinch's Crieff, he chose the Town Line between Puslinch and East Flamboro, Lots 37 & 38 in the rear of the eighth concession.

According to the 1906 Wellington County Historical Atlas, when Watson arrived this land was being "chopped" by the Nicholl brothers which no doubt explains its attraction for Archibald, although he might have been a "chopper" with them. Whatever the reason, upon this land Archibald and his family settled and eventually built a fine stone house with a stone annex and verandah.

Liberals and Presbyterians, the Watsons were among the founding members of Duff's Church. (see Robert Watson notes for further information.)¹
     At the time of their first communion he was inducted as the second Elder of Duff's Presbyterian Church.⁴
     This Archibald Watson who died in the "burning of Arkell" may have been one of his sons. He died at the age of 56, and was a moulder. See Ontario Death Registration 008357.⁵
