ANTONY MAITLAND

Lastly comes the Chadwick family. They were Irish, the first member arriving in Canada in about 1840, with the Hendersons a little later. The Chadwicks were probably English planters, perhaps from Lancashire, moving to southern Ireland in the 1660's. Later, in Ontario, Canada, a Chadwick married a daughter of the Stewarts from Northern Ireland. These Stewarts had married a daughter of the Pakenham family, a sister of whom became the Duchess of Wellington. By another coincidence, her brother's agent in Antrim was John Armstrong, great grandfather of my father's mother, the American Eleanor Poole.
