"[Presbyterian] congregation at Colquhoun was organized by Rev.

Death record of Catherine Myers Collins says parents were Jacob Myers and Susan Wallace.

From Rae Myers notes about the family. Jacob's father Daniel ran the inn in Williamsburg, Ontario ( called D.Mires Inn ) and both Jacob and his 1st son Jacob were born there. Descendant Mrs. Alice Swerdfeger says Jacob met his wife Susanna "when she came to work as a servant for his father"
KDD: So probably already a young woman when she arrived from Ireland. There is a record of John Wallace, carpenter, arriving in Toronto in 1819 from Dublin.
