1840-1850s Dr. W. J. Best (born 1814)
Dr. Best lived in Otonabee and practiced in Peterborough.
He is mentioned as being a consultant with Drs. Hutchison and Taylor.
Catharine Parr Traill mentions him in letters saying that she received medical advice from him. In April 1844 she also writes "Dr. Best has a horse now".
He died March 13, 1854. The cause of death is listed as 'decline'. He is buried in Little Lake Cemetery, in Peterborough.
[ see Catharine Parr Traill's correspondence in "I Bless You In My Heart": also gives full name as "William James Best" and dates 1815-1855. Possible parents: Henry Best, surgeon of Thetford, Norfolk, England, and Maria Waddelow m. 16 Dec 1806 Lakenheath, Suffolk, England, William James Best b. 14 May 1814]

(notes 82 and 83 are: Monteage, 'Diary', 21 February 1763, 15 May 1763. )
A handful of servants appear in the diaries of Thomas Bridge and Elizabeth Tyrrell, but only Stephen Monteage mentions interacting with servants to any great degree. Monteage was apparently close with his non-resident housekeeper, Mrs. Rubidge, as he recorded having conversations with her about her life and the wellbeing of her husband and son. They also went to the theatre together.82 Mrs. Rubidge and her son “little Joey” joined Monteage on short excursions, traveling with him, his friend Mr. Leadbetter and Miss Kitty (perhaps another servant), to Tooting to dine.83 Even Mr. Rubidge, who does not appear to have worked for Monteage, entered into Stephen’s social circle: on Michaelmas Day they walked together and drank tea in Monteage’s house. Monteage’s descriptions of the conversations he had with Mrs. Rubidge suggest that he asked all the questions, but this may reflect his writing style rather than the actual mode of their interactions.
