| Mathew Coubrough and Elizabeth
Brown Line
Matt Coubrough was the only son of James Coubrough and Annie MacDonald. While there is some discussion as to whether he was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia or St. John, New Brunswick (he was baptised in the latter), it is quite certain that he was the first known person of his name to be born in what is now Canada. In 1858, at the age of four years, he moved with his parents and younger sister, Flora Jane, to Dawn Township, Upper Canada (now Ontario), where he married and raised his own family. In 1905, at the age of 51, he and some of his older sons "went West" and took homesteads in southern Saskatchewan, his wife and younger children following in 1909. The pictures in this section are his - and my - family. Matt and Liz were my grandfather's parents.
