Notes - DR. JOHN B. HERSHEY was born in the township of Bertie in 1816. His father Benjamin, a native of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, was born Nov. 14th, 1776, came to Canada with the grandfather of our subject-also named Benjamin-in 1795, who brought with him his family of five sons named Christian, Abram, Henry and John and settled on the Niagara River, about four miles below the International Bridge. The ancestry dates back to Switzerland, where in 1702, Andrew Hershey was born. He had to leave his native land on account of being persecuted for his religion. This noble young man, not being willing to forego his convictions of conscience, chose rather to leave his native land and for a time took up his abode on the banks of the River Rhine, in France. From there, in 1719, he came to America and settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where, for two or three generations, the descendants lived. In 1795, as previously stated, Benjamin, the Grandfather, immigrated to Canada, bringing with him his family of five sons. Dr. John B. our subject, is largely self-educated, and from extensive reading and close application to study he qualified himself for the practice of curing the disease of cancer. His success in this direction has gained for him wide popularity, so much so that people from different states of America and provinces of Canada are continually consulting him in regard to that dread disease. His son, John B. Hershey, educated in the institutions of Canada and the United States, received his license to practice medicine and is now located in the City of Buffalo. He is associated with his father in the special treatment of cancer.
