John was enrolled as a part-time student in the famous Swiss school of his father’s friend Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, but the family was too peripatetic, and perhaps too conservative, for a strong commitment to Pestalozzi’s advanced teaching methods. They relied more often on the conventional tutors of the English communities of Switzerland and Italy." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_john_12E.html.)² He lived in 1820 at Liverpool, England; "Business difficulties called Thomas Langton back to England in 1820 and John returned to a school system that he would remember for being devoted mainly to the study of Latin and
Greek." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_john_12E.html.)² He lived in 1826 at Cambridge University, England; "In 1826, the year that John went to the University of Cambridge and a year of recession, his father was forced to reach an accommodation with his creditors that avoided the name but was, in fact, a bankruptcy."per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_john_12E.html.)² He immigrated in 1833 to Fenelon Twp., Sturgeon Lake, Victoria Co., Upper Canada; "An aunt saw John, who seems to have been a family favourite, through Cambridge, and money was found in 1833 for him to immigrate to escape his limited prospects at home. Once in Upper Canada he was attracted to the community of British gentlemen settlers forming in the backwoods of Peterborough, among whom were Thomas Alexander Stewart*, Charles Rubidge*, and James Wallis. Langton bought land in Fenelon and
Verulam townships and settled on Sturgeon Lake." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_john_12E.html.)² He lived on 28 August 1833 at Blythe Farm, Fenelon Twp., Sturgeon Point, Victoria Co., Upper Canada; "On the 26th of August, 1833, John Langton,
a graduate of Cambridge University, at the age of twenty-four, guided by Indians, landed at the well known Cedar Spring just around the apex of Sturgeon Point. Proceeding up the shores he made a preliminary survey as far as Cameron Falls and chose a location to be known as Blythe Farm. It was so called after Blythe Hall, his birthplace in Lancashire. He was a man of fine physique and outstanding
ability and after ten years of pioneer life moved to Peterborough and married one of the Miss Dunsfords from the Beehive on the north shore of Sturgeon Lake. He became a member of the Provincial Legislature and afterwards Auditor of Public Accounts. Later he was elected Vice-Chancellor of Toronto University in which city he died in 1894." from Historical Sketch of Sturgeon Point", by G. A. Lucas, page 4. He lived in 1837 at Blythe Fram, Victoria Co., Upper Canada; "Most of Langton’s surviving letters date from his years as a backwoods bachelor. In his correspondence, he proved himself a keen and reflective observer and also a good story-teller, with a humorous turn of phrase which was never to desert him. In 1837 his parents, his aunt, and his sister, Anne, came to join him at the New-World Blythe. With his life there settling into predictable routines, John was torn between an attachment to his farm and frustrated ambition." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_john_12E.html.)² He "When district councils were established in 1841, he was elected for Fenelon Township, per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_john_12E.html) in 1841 at Fenelon Twp., Victoria Co., Canada West.² He married Lydia Dunsford, daughter of Rev.

In fact, his talents lay more in the direction of his inclination." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_john_12E.html) between 1851 and 1854 at Blythe Mills, Victoria Co., Canada West.² He "In the Legislative Assembly, as on district council, Langton concerned himself with finance. He established a reputation as a critic of the public accounts, which he described in a speech in November 1854 as existing in a “more curiously complicated state” than those of any country he knew. The cursory audits by the inspector general and the Executive Council had been under attack for years, notably by William Lyon Mackenzie, and Attorney General John A. Macdonald was himself anxious to see greater control asserted. Perhaps because he recognized Langton’s quickness or saw in his suggestions the possibility of effective action, he had him appointed chairman of the new Board of Audit created in 1855." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_john_12E.html) in November 1854 at Legislative Assembly, Peterborough Co., Canada West.² He lived in October 1855 at Toronto, York Co., Canada West; "Moving to Toronto, Langton assumed his duties in October 1855 and was formally appointed on 27 December. As a civil servant, he was prevented from speaking in public once he resigned his seat on 15 Feb. 1856. His priorities, however, were already on record and he continued to discuss them in private correspondence with his banker-brother, William. He sought to bring the accounts to a form that would reflect current expenditure as closely as possible and enable parliament to pass estimates based on accurate knowledge of the previous year’s revenue and spending. To this same end he tried to prevent the departments from anticipating the legislature by spending money that had yet to be authorized." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_john_12E.html.)² He "Appointed to the senate of the University of Toronto late in 1855, he served as vice-chancellor (1856–60) and presided over the building of University College (1856–59) [see Frederic William Cumberland]. He joined with Professor Daniel Wilson in 1860 in defending, before a parliamentary committee, the university’s claim to an exclusive right to government financial support, which Egerton Ryerson and others were challenging on behalf of the denominational colleges." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_john_12E.html) in December 1855 at Toronto, York Co., Canada West.² He lived in 1859 at Montreal, Quebec; "After Langton moved with the government to Quebec in 1859, he proved an active contributor to and president of the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_john_12E.html.)² He lived in 1866 at Ottawa, Carleton Co., Canada West; "The year 1866 found Langton in Ottawa preparing for confederation. The work of the audit was by now well accepted and he was studying how best to arrange the accounts of the dominion. As its arbitrator, he worked with the colonial finance ministers in negotiating the
transfer of accounts in areas of federal responsibility. He also devoted much time to the formidable problem of how to apportion the debt of the old Province of Canada between the dominion, Ontario, and Quebec. A revenue and audit act passed in December 1867 established a federal Board of Audit and Langton was formally appointed auditor in May." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_john_12E.html.)² He lived in 1870 at Ottawa, Carleton Co., Ontario; "Increased responsibilities followed – as a member of the Civil Service Commission and secretary to the Treasury Board in 1868 and, most significantly, as deputy minister of finance from 1870." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_john_12E.html.)² He "The last appointment brought Langton into close association with the government he was supposed to monitor as auditor, a mistake which was tacitly acknowledged when the two
offices were separated in 1878. Langton was retired as part of that reorganization. Although he was given a generous pension, he left office under a cloud, scolded by a parliamentary committee for having sanctioned a misuse of the secret-service fund by his old friend Sir John A. Macdonald." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_john_12E.html) in 1878 at Ottawa, Carleton Co., Ontario.² He lived in February 1879 at Toronto, York Co., Ontario; "In February 1879, shortly after Langton had moved back to Toronto, Daniel Wilson remarked that he was “still wonderfully vigorous, but the old fire is gone.” In 1880–82
he was president of the Canadian Institute." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_john_12E.html.)² He died on 19 March 1894 at Toronto, York Co., Ontario, at age 85; " ... d. 19 March 1894 in Toronto."per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_john_12E.html) Date Mar 19 1894 & location Toronto per family tree of Bruce Gordon on ancestry.ca, Oct 24 2020.^1,2

child and only daughter of Thomas Langton and Ellen Currer...

The Langtons’ European tour was no dilettante trip. They spent six years in nomadic, though civilized, existence, in several countries. Their immediate destination was Yverdon, on Lake Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Here, the educational reformer Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi ran an innovative institute which Anne’s younger brother, John, attended; Anne and her older brother, William, were tutored privately by institute masters. Pestalozzi encouraged
individual talent rather than competitive rote learning and advocated education by deduction from experience and by sensory perception: sound tenets for future pioneers. The Langtons’ studies included languages, literature, music, art, and fencing. Their further travel experiences gave them a philosophical attitude toward vicissitudes and an enhanced appreciation of foreign cultures – further invaluable assets. In Switzerland, Austria, and Italy they visited art galleries
and attended concerts, fiestas, and papal audiences. They resided in Frankfurt am Main,
Montpellier, Florence, Rome, Venice, Naples, and Paris. Anne copied works by Old Masters,
sketched landscapes derivative of “ideal” composition, inhabitants of various countries in national costume, and not-too challenging, rear-view early portraits of her mother and her aunt Alice. Fellow travellers whom the Langtons came to know well in Europe included Isaac Weld and family – Weld’s Travels through ... the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada ... (London, 1799) would later persuade John Langton to immigrate to Upper Canada – and the noted travel writer Mariana Starke." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_anne_12E.html.)² She lived on 24 May 1837 at Fenelon Twp., Sturgeon Lake, Victoria Co., Upper Canada; "In 1833 John immigrated to Upper Canada
and took up residence on Sturgeon Lake, near such other genteel settlers as Thomas Alexander Stewart, Samuel Strickland, Thomas Traill, John Wedderburn Dunbar Moodie, and their families. Anne, having overcome her father’s reluctance to her earning income by practising art, now painted portraits, but only on commission for relatives and close friends. By 1837 family resources were so low that “the Canada project” – to live with John – was embarked upon. Thomas, Ellen, Alice, and Anne set forth on 24 May, not without warnings that theirs was “rather a wild scheme” for three ailing, elderly people and a spinster who, in her mid thirties, was going deaf." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_anne_12E.html.)² She lived in 1850 at Fenelon Twp., Victoria Co., Canada West; "The years 1845–47 marked a watershed in Anne’s life. John married in 1845, Ellen Langton and Alice Currer died within weeks of each other during the severe ague epidemic of 1846, and John, his wife Lydia, and Anne made a return visit to England in 1847 which, in Anne’s case, lasted for three years. In 1849 she faced another turning-point. Should she remain with William’s family “frittering my life away” as ornamental lady, take a post as governess at a friend’s school for young ladies near London, or return to help raise the new “Canadian” Langton generation? Once again, circumstances did not force her into independence. She opted for reciprocal sustenance and partial self-fulfilment with John’s family, and returned in 1850." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_anne_12E.html.)² She lived in 1851 at Peterborough, Peterborough Co., Canada West; "The Langtons’ backwoods years ended in 1851 when John was elected to the assembly to represent Peterborough. The family, after first living there, moved with the government to Toronto (1855–60), Quebec (1860–65), and Ottawa (1865–78). At Peterborough Anne became organist and music director for St John’s Church; presumably, her hearing impairment was not yet so severe as to prevent her leading the congregation’s singing." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_anne_12E.html.)² She lived in 1878 at Toronto, York Co., Ontario; "After John’s retirement in 1878 the Langtons returned to live in Toronto. By then, Anne had made several more extended visits to Britain, in 1860–62, 1868–70, and 1873–75; she made her last visit there, still touring, in 1880." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_anne_12E.html.)² She "In 1879 Anne wrote The story of our family. Published privately in England in 1881, this retrospective account is more personal than the record eventually published as A gentlewoman. Of initial post-emigration difficulties, she observed, “I never shall forget my feeling of despair at that time . . . . Now, it did seem a rash step for such a party to come out to such a place, but we were very careful in writing home to say as little of our difficulties as possible.” The book was written at the Langtons’ first retirement residence, 23 Prince Arthur Avenue, later the headquarters of the Women’s Art Association of Canada." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_anne_12E.html) in 1879 at 23 Prince Arthur Ave., Toronto, York Co., Ontario.² She died on 10 May 1893 at 123 Beverley St., Toronto, York Co., Ontario, at age 88; "Anne died at 123 Beverley Street, the Langtons’ final home, near the site now occupied by the Art Gallery of Ontario. In the last years, too old to “ramble,” she practised the traditional gentlewomanly pursuits of embroidery and china painting, providing delicate, decorative legacies for immediate loved ones. In her more extensive portfolio of perpetually delightful art works and in her lively written chronicles, Anne’s deft strokes with pencil, pen, and brush yielded a wider legacy for subsequent generations of her cultural descendants on both sides of the Atlantic. To echo her own comments on first viewing Niagara, her words and visual images
offer “partial,” though never “obscure,” glimpses which “each and all assist in the expansion of [the] agination” of both reader and viewer." per Dictionary of Canadian Biogrphy - John Langton (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/langton_anne_12E.html)
