      The 1851 Peel County census lists most of the Modeland family.
      > Thomas (1793-1868), the eldest son, resided in a one-story log house with his wife Ann, his mother Mary Waugh Modeland and some of their ten children.
      > John (1795-1866) and his wife Elizabeth were settled in a one-story log house with six children. > Isaac (1798-1829) had died in Chinguacousy, leaving his wife Elizabeth Dawson and several children. They including son Joshua, who died in 1851 at the age of 28, daughter Mary Ann, and son John, born in 1824, who headed west to Tuckersmith Township, Huron County, Upper Canada in 1858 and raised a large family.
      > The fourth son, Joshua (1801-1848), died in Chinguacousy, leaving his wife Emaline and at least two sons, Isaac and Joseph.

      By 1861, most members of the family were improving their homes and expanding their farms, and
      some were moving westward.

      > In 1868, Thomas, the eldest and last of the Garrigill brothers, died at age 75, leaving about twenty members surviving in generation four, including his own ten children.
