5. Additional Information on Gilbert Pearcy from Methodist Churches of Toronto. Compiled and edited by Thomas Edward Champion 1899.
Gilbert & Margaret (Sanderson) had six Children. One was head of Sanderson, Pearcy & Co. (Painters). Became a Methodist in 1840, attended Adalaide Street Church. Born County Down, Ireland, and arrived in Canada around 1820. Was originally Presbyterian.
Believe Margaret Sanderson may have been Gilbert's second wife since John Pearcy, the eldest son is referred to in Sanderson Pearcy's will as his half brother.
Farmed in York County.
From the Globe newspaper Jan. 30, 1903, page 8;
Death of Gilbert Pearcy
The death occurred yesterday at his late residence, 4 Linden street, of Mr. Gilbert Pearcy, a well-known citizen of Toronto. Mr. Pearcy had reached the advanced age of 91 years. Deceased was the father of Mr. Sanderson Pearcy head of the Adelaide street wholesale paint firm of Sanderson Pearcy & Co. The funeral will take place on Saturday.

6. Other notes:
Checked Toronto Census for 1842 and 1891, could not find any reference to known Pearcy's in either St James or St Johns Ward, the census for 1842 was difficult to read as it was a negative copy. However there was a reference to a Frances ? Pearcy, female aged 56 Born in the U.S. as well as a son Horace aged 27 in the 1891 census Microfilm # T-6371. Who are they and where did they come from and what if any is the relation?
