Note: Placing Willet McConnell Platt as son of Isaac Storm and Pamela Platt - not sure but looks possible. Dates work re early census for Isaac's male children. Proximity works since looks like Isaac dealt property in Brighton in the 1840's. Willet Platt's middle name is tantalizing - is it his mother's maiden name???

- Note*: 1882; Collingwood, Ontario; "Formed in 1882 as Collingwood Dry Dock, Shipbuilding and Foundry Company in Collingwood, Ontario by J. D. Silcox (also contractor at the Murray Canal) [1] and S. D. Andrews [2] and renamed with the shortened name in 1892, [3] Collingwood Shipbuilding's core business was building lake freighters, ships built to fit the narrow locks between the Great Lakes. Over the company's lifetime it built over 200 ships. During the Second World War (1940-1944), the company was contracted to build 23 warships for the Royal Canadian Navy and Royal Navy, mostly corvettes and minesweepers." (https://wikimili.com/en/Collingwood_Shipbuilding)
- Note: 24 August 1882; The Murray Canal, Northumberland Co., Ontario; "Once the decision to build the Murray Canal had been made and the final route selected, the work itself was relatively straightforward. It consisted of the excavation of the canal proper, along with the dredging of the entrance channels and erection of four bridges over the cut. The tenders for this work were opened on June 22, 1882 and the contract was subsequently awarded to the firm of J.D. Silcox and Co. of Welland. Silcox, along with his partners Nathan S. Gere and H.J. Mowry of Syracuse already had previous experience with canal construction, having been employed on the Welland Canal. Silcox's contract was signed on August 24, 1882 and was to be completed by July 1, 1885." page 20 of the Powles Report.7
- Note: 1 September 1882; The Murray Canal, Northumberland Co., Ontario; "Official Opening cf the Canal Works - August 31, 1882 ...

However, by this date, seven dredges were still involved in the ongoing excavation and the work on the entrance piers and bridge substructures was far from complete. In fact just two days before the original termination date, the contractors had only begun the erection of the second canal bridge, for the Central Ontario Railway." per page 25 of the Powles Report.7

7 - Residence: December 1890; The Murray Canal, Northumberland Co., Ontario; "However, while about 100 vessels passed through the canal in 1889, in a sense it was not really completed until 1890. For throughout 1889, about three miles of the canal cut remained without the stone facing called for in the original contract. Why this was not done by Silcox and Co. in the fulfillment of their contract is unclear. It was doubtless an item of some importance, for it left the soft banks exposed to the swells raised by winds and passing vessels. This resulted in the erosion of these structures, and the washed out material was subsequently deposited on the bottom of the canal. Consequently, a separate contract was entered into with Silcox in May of 1890 to finish this work. It was completed in December 1390 at a cost of $25,000." from page 31 of the Powles Report.7
