Notes

There are a number of pages on the web devoted to Anne Langton. There is an entry in the online Dictionary of Canadian Biography, and a series of linked pages on the Ontario Archives within which are shown many of her works of art. The museum at Fenelon Falls also has a page devoted to her.

Marriage

My attention was initially brought to the interesting information avalable on the Langton family by Chris Birch, and I have subsequently been pointed in helpful directions by Barbara Williams. I am very grateful to both of them.
