"A House of Memories": the Story of Cherry Hill - This article recounts the construction of Cherry Hill, one of Ontario's oldest estates, its initial occupants Joseph Silverthorne and Jane Chisholm, and the adjoining farm. "Cherry Hill, near Cooksville, Ontario, is one of Ontario's oldest estates, the present house having been built in 1815 on the site of the original log cabin to which Joseph Silverthorne of sturdy United Empire Loyalist stock brought his fifteen-year-old bride, Jane Chisholm, in 1807, following their wedding in the famous Chisholm homestead at Queenston Heights which stood where Brock's monument now stands." "A sturdy log cabin was built on the brow of the hill overlooking the trail and furnished with chairs, tables, beds, and dressers made by Joseph Silverthorn, himself, in the mill from birds-eye maple, walnut, oak and pine. A great many of these interesting and highly valuable pieces of pioneer furniture are still a very interesting feature of the old mansion today where they are being preserved by the present owner, Mr. William S. Romain, a well-known Thespian now retired, whose mother was a Silverthorne." "…the little cabin as a place of warmth and hospitality where the white man and redskin alike were welcome to food and shelter for the night. The neighbouring Indian tribes were very friendly with the Silverthornes. The small cedar thicket where they were wont to camp in those old days still stands by the side of the creek quite near the house. Due, not doubt, to her close relationship to Colonel Chisholm of Oakville whom the Indians called "White Oak" because of his honest dealing with them, Jane Silverthorne was always treated with grave respect and courtesy."
