Descendant list of other Pilgrims in Canada
Here is a list of other Canadian Pilgrim families that I have come across during my search of the Pilgrim surname. Most of them emigrated from England and settled in Ontario; one Pilgrim emigrated from Germany and another was born as early as 1816 in Newfoundland. The list does not contain all of the names that I have collected and I have limited the information to 4 or five generations. Please email me for additional information.
The following information was collected from census data, IGI, city Directories, Ontario BMD Index and other websites with the Pilgrim name. Original records were not checked !

#1- Sarah signed her name Sarah Johnston
Adams on her marriage license to Henry Wells in 1942.
It is quite possibible that
because of that, her mother's middle name and her grandmother's maiden
names are actually Johnston,
not Johnson. Also, on their
marriage license, Henry Wells is listed
as having 2 previous
marriages. Information confirmed
on 2-6-06 at the Oakland County Circuit
Court, Pontiac, MI. Copy of their license is available
online thru the court for $20.00.
Sarah's birth certificate is
available for 25.00/hr thru the Brantford, ON, Canada city offices.
Information needed:
Sarah
Pilgrim's first husbands first name and genealogy.
Sarah's
child Shirley's last name and genealogy.
