died of TB and are buried in London Ontario∼David Joseph McPherson II was born on April 16, 1824, to his parents, David Joseph McPherson I and Hellen Pedden.
His father was in the British Militia where he served abroad. Prior to coming to Canada, David and his wife Hellen was stationed in Jamaica/ West Indies.
