The Harstone & Windsor Family of Essex & Perth Counties Ontarioo
Years ago my husband's grandmother was given a large (2' x 2 1/2') tinted portrait of a young boy in an antique frame. It was taken circa 1900. On the back was written "Robert H. Harstone on his third birthday"
The woman who gave her the photograph was the widow of Robert Harstone. We knew the Harstone family lived in St Mary's, Perth County Ontario and that Robert was a lawyer there in the early 1900s. Today I did a little research on the family and here is what I found:
Robert Hopper Harstone (Harstine) was born 22 July 1899 in St. Mary's Perth County Ontario to Leonard Harstone and Drucilla Beatrice Maude Windsor. Leonard Harstone was a lawyer. The marriage of Leonard Harstone and Drucilla Windsor took place in Toronto, York County Ontario on 22 March 1898 in the Church of the Messiah.
Leonard's parents were Robert Harstone and Jane Hopper. Drucilla's parents were Enoch Windsor and Caroline Sitterington (Sittington).
Leonard and Drucilla (D. Beatrice is how she is found in the records) Harstone are found with little Robert H. in the 1901 census for St. Mary's Ontario. Leonard was 48, D. Beatrice was 24, her date of birth given as 30 August 1876. The family is also in
the 1911 census for St. Mary's Ontario
Leonard's death is in Ontario Vital Statistics. He died in St. Mary's on 3 January 1932 and his date of birth is given as 29 January 1853 in Baltimore Ontario.
