"Solomon was the son of John Hugill a Veterinary Surgeon, that owned 2 farms and a mill. John is resting in Westerdale, England. [Jno/John was of Bransdale and married Mary Dale daughter of William Dale of Bransdale West.]
Esther Wilkes, daughter of John Wilkes and Elizabeth Hartas, married Solomon Hugill in Kirkdale, York, England, Feb. 11, 1800. [Elizabeth Hartas was the daughter of John Hartas of Bransdale and Johanna his wife.]
In the early 1800's there resided in Bransdale, Yorkshire, England, Solomon, his wife Esther Wilkes Hugill and their nine children [10 children]. Joseph died young and the three elder brothers and two sisters migrated to America, settling in the vicinity of Toronto, Canada leaving the younger ones, Hannah, Rachel and Charles with the parents.
In 1833, when Hannah was 16, they too set sail for America and after a long and stormy voyage joined the rest of the family in Markham, Ontario just outside of Toronto. Thomas, William, John and Nancy lived in Ontario the rest of their lives.
There was also living in the vicinity the Schell family, decendants of German settlers in the Mohawk Valley, New York State. Esther Hugill married Abraham Schell and moved farther west to Oxford County near the town of Ingersol. Hannah married Robert Swailes and when he died she married Henry Schell a brother of Abraham and moved to Ingersol also, taking with her the five Swailes children: Ruth, John Henry (Jack), Maryann, Harriet and Robert. Rachel Hugill who had married William Garbutt of Stuckley, England joined the sisters in Oxford County and not long after Charles who had married Mary Smith followed.
Henry Schell when he heard that some good farming land was available in Michigan decided to move there and in July 1858 with Hannah, seven children and considerable livestock, ferried across the St. Clair River, went north to Lexington where they stayed a few days with relatives and then on to Lapeer County settling about four miles east of the town of Beechville now known as North Branch.
The next year Abraham and his family came also, stopping first in Attica and then to North Branch settling west of the village in Deerfield Township. William Garbutt and Rachel stayed in Ingersol but two of their children, a son William and a daughter Mary Garbutt Chambers settled in the vicinity, William north of town and the Chambers east near the Henry Schells. Not too long afterwards Charles and Mary Smith Hugill, who were living in Fullarton, Ontario at the time came too. So two sisters and a brother and the children of the third sister were together."
