Accompanied by his family, he removed from there to Ontario, Canada, where he took up government lands, and was also a large proprietor, living the life of a country gentleman. He was an educated man, and was respected by all in the community.
The maiden name of his wife was Finley, of noted Scottish ancestry, and they were the parents of four sons:
John, Thomas, William, Robert and a daughter.
All are now (1910) deceased except John.
(II) John (2), son of John (1) Hanbidge, was born at Ballinalea, county Wicklow, Ireland, July 12, 1826, and in early boyhood accompanied his parents to Ontario, Canada. He received a common school education, and throughout the active years of his life engaged in agriculture in Ontario, retiring on account of advance years.
