  • Notes 
    • Maj. John Button was one of the pioneers of Markham township, who died at the ripe age of 90 years. Major Button came from New York State where he was born, and settled in Canada in 1798 in Chippewas, moving to Markham 4 years later and erecting just below the village on the banks of the Rouge one of the first log cabins in the neighbourhood. Though a man of peaceable disposition, he raised a cavalry troop in Markham and served in the war of 1812.
