Notes
William Henry Shuman
According to Bonnie Shuman Carn (email: bocarn@rose.net): Their son was William Henry Shuman Jr. b 1805 in Bryan County, Georgia. The widow Polly Shuman later married John Bandy in 1808 in Savannah. William Jr. as an adult went to Thomas County, GA in the early 1830's, bringing with him his first born son John Rutherford Shuman b 1829 Bryan co. William died in Jefferson Co, FL in late 1870's. Her Shuman line continues on through John Rutherford's son William Thomas Shuman to Julius Bartow Shuman.
_____________________________________________________________________________
1840 Thomas Co, GA Federal Census:
William is living next to Sarah Futch (Sheffield) and is only two doors away from John Sheffield Sr. and 3 doors away from John Sheffield Jr.. That is why I think this is the William Shuman on the 1840 Thomas Cty. census. He married Martha Sheffield and Sarah Ann Sheffield who most likely are daughters of John's or one of his brothers. William's house hold is:
2 white males under 5
1 whitemale 10-15
1 white male 30-40, himself
1 white female under 5
1 white female 40-50, Sarah

William moved to Florida according to The Pioneers of Bryan Cty. If so, he must have moved back to Thomas Co, GA soon after.
He is supposed to be buried in the Shuman Cemetery, Bryan County, (Now Area B-12 of Fort Stewart), Georgia (USA). However, he is not listed on the copy of that cemetery made in 1994.

Alexander McInnis
Hugh's marriage record:
009962-76 - Hugh Alexander McINNIS, 25, Stormont, Orillia, Lumberman, s/o Alexander & Martha McINNIS, married Eliza Ann LINK, 30, Finch Twp, Oro, d/o Henry & Maria LINK, wtn: Alexander LINK & IsabellaTHOMPSON, both of Oro, on March 23, 1876, at Oro
Martha McInnis
Hugh's mother came to Canada in 1852-1853 according to his obituary. Her husband, Hugh's father, had died thus he must have died in 1851 or late 1850. It seems unlikely she would come to Canada alone,so must have come with parents or other kin either of her own or he rhusband's. There may also have been other children, i.e. brothers and/or sisters of Hugh.
Found Hugh's marriage record:
009962-76 - Hugh Alexander McINNIS, 25, Stormont, Orillia, Lumberman, s/o Alexander & Martha McINNIS, married Eliza Ann LINK, 30, Finch Twp, Oro, d/o Henry & Maria LINK, wtn: Alexander LINK & IsabellaTHOMPSON, both of Oro, on March 23, 1876, at Oro
