• Notes

  From "Two Hundred Years With The Siders" compiled by Harold Sider and Ron Sider - Georg Jacob Schmid immigrated from Germany to Canada in 1832. Somehow he came in contact with the German speaking Sider family, and married the eldest daughter of John Sider of Stevensville. Although Barbara was a member of the Tunker church until her death at age 89, Jacob never became a member of the Tunker brotherhood. On November 4th, 1842, Barbara's father purchased 100 acres of land in Wainfleet Township, the south part of Lot 36, Concession 5, from John Misener, for 212 pounds, 10 shillings. This farm, one and a half miles west of the present Wainfleet Brethern in Christ Church, became the Jacob Smith farm. However, it was not until 1858 that ownership of the land was transferred from John Sider to Jacob Smith.
