(partial extract)
" I do not know how long it was before Grandfather met and married Mrs. Kinghorn, a widow with three children; two boys, one a stepson of 11 or 12 years; a girl, Margaret, 5 years, and Jimmie 1 or 2 years old. Her husband, John Kinghorn, was a clever man who could make small pretty trinkets. I believe he was a cabinet maker. They arrived in Montreal where the cholera was raging and was stricken and died. Mrs. K. somehow got to Port Hope and got in touch with her brother, Nichol Dodds, who farmed 5 or 6 miles north of Port Hope in Hope Township.. I never heard how the lone widow with her little flock came in contact with our widower Grandpa, but such was the case. She lived and worked in the home of James Rutherford before the second marriage."

John married Christian Dickson before 1823.

John next married Isabella Dods, daughter of James Dods and Margaret Johnston, on 10 Jun 1825 in Eccles, Berwick, Scotland.¹⁴⁶⁰ (Isabella Dods was born on 3 Jan 1794 in Eccles, Berwick, Scotland ^{258,259,260,263}, christened on 18 Feb 1794 in Eccles, Berwick, Scotland, died on 25 May 1881 in South Monaghan, Northumberland County, Ontario ^103,262,263 and was buried in Centreville, South Monaghan, Ontario, Canada.). The cause of her death was old age.
