One of those daughters, Bessie True (1872 - 1933), married a David Luther John Griffiths (1872 - 1942) and had David Reese Griffiths (1913 - 1988), who was the father of noted family genealogist Dan Griffiths.
Another of those daughters, Rose True (1884 - 1961), was romanced by a boarder at her father's house, a man called John Cooke (1878-1950), who convinced her to make her way over to the Dominion of Canada [1]. They settled in Manitoba and had four daughters and one son. One of those daughters, Edith Lucy Cooke (1915 - 2003) married a salesman called Jack Currie (1915 - 2009) and moved with him to Thunder Bay, Ontario and had three sons. The youngest of these sons was Ron Currie (1947 -), the father of Michael Currie.
