1897. Jonathan Ellerby, 74, farmer, of Lot 7, Eighth Avenue, Vaughan, died 10/11/1897. Informant: John Ellerby. originally thought he was buried Hillcrest Woodbridge , Vaughan, but this is his son: think he was buried in the Old Cemetery . Have not found a picture of his grave, yet there is one in Hillcrest for his son Jonathan 1855-1946, and also a likely grave for his daughter, Hannah 1827 . There is a collaboration of all the old headstones from the Old Cemetery but no individual headstones that are easy to see:-http://lostcemeteries.blogspot.ca/2011/04/woodbridge-pioneer-cemetery-woodbridge.html
1914, His widow, Mary Ellerby/Williams, dies .
