1 Isaac McQuesten and John Harvey were partners in operating the wool and cotton mill in Hespeler Ontario which went bankrupt around this time. See W2652 for more information.


2 NOTE ON ASTERISKS: Names with asterisks next to them have been check-marked on original document although the reason for this is not entirely clear. It may indicate creditors who were successfully repaid or those whose demands were most pressing.

Interestingly, there is a C. McQuesten on the list whose name is also check-marked. This is most likely Isaac's half-brother Calvin Brooks McQuesten who believed that Isaac had taken advantage of him financially, see W1652 and W1755.
