letter of 1½ pages, dated London, March 24th [18]37. From j.b. flanagan to:
Letter mentions various names for which the author has ‘papers’ – Mr Kellaby; John L. Montserret; Mr Abraham Van C[?]; Mr David Hugeboom (‘a person I suppose you well know’); W[illia]m Ross; Samuel Durrent – though no positive identification of these individuals, nor of J.B. Flanagan has been made.
The settlement of St. Thomas was founded in 1803 by a Colonel (Thomas) Talbot (1771-1853), who emigrated to Canada in 1792; he was by all accounts ‘one of the most notable characters of the early days of Upper Canada’, and it seems likely that John Talbot was related to him.
