Grimsby's Lodge

House In Ontario (NOT Grimsby)

The History of Freemasonry in Canada...:

"Grimsby in Lincoln where lodge No. 15 met was in early days a village, sometimes known as the Forty Mile Creek...".

"...on Main street...lot 8 of concession 1 of the township [Grimsby].  It was afterwards the inn of Bro. Jacob Nelles, and was a frame building painted red, sometimes being called "the old red tavern."

Fields In Grimsby

Finding Your Roots on PBS revealed that Sally Field had ancestors who lived in Grimsby, Ontario, Canada, in 1851.

What if my Grimsby ancestors were near neighbors?  A check of the 1851 census found that both the Fields and the Powers' were in Enumeration District #7.

Next Door Was John Morden Field and Elizabeth (Vrooman) Field

Close enough for government work!
