I have info on your Colin 'James' Whitford and Mary Hebert born at Red Willow Creek Jan 4, 1873. James' parents were Donald Whitford and Marguerite "Peggy" Cayen or Paul(not sure which is correct."Mary's father was a native of France and mother a daughter of Ermineskin, the famous Indian Chief. She lived in teepees and used buffalo chips for fuel. Later they switched to tents. Her family freighted from Medicine Hat to Edmonton. They used Red River carts, pulled by oxen. July 1888, at age 15 she married James Whitford of Pincher Creek and lived there and at Stettler until 1911."This info quoted from the Stettler and area community History Book called 'Red Willow Reflections' Page 571. It refers to "relating some history from 'Memories of Mrs. Whitford' ".I don't know if this is all correct or not but it may help you.I would like to exchange info with you. Thanks.
