Presumed to have been created by Anna Maria Hill and inscribed by one of her grandchildren. At the beginning of the album is a photo of Francis Abbott. He and his wife Jane Dagg were born in Ireland and first settled in Nepean Township around 1822. Their daughter Sarah Ann married William Henry Butler and the family lived in Hazeldean. By the time of the 1871 Census Sarah and William's family made Richmond, Ontario their home. Sarah and William's daughter Anna Maria married James Rowland Hill in Richmond on June 10th 1874. This album, which was inscribed by one of their grandchildren, identifies the cousins, siblings, spouses, and acquaintances of the Butlers and Hills. The photos preserved inside the pages are albumen prints and tintypes that date from approximately the 1860s to 1880s. Anna Maria died June 20, 1882 at the age of 28 and is laid to rest in Richmond.Collection
