A brochure prepared by Charlotte V. Mackie, of Guelph, Ontario, "Benjamin Thurtell and Descendants" for the "Woodlawn Cemetery Self Guided Memorial Walking Tour," Woodlawn Cemetery, 762 Woolwich Street, Guelph, Ontario, Canada N1H 3Z1,shows that Benjamin Thurtell Jr. "married Elizabeth Nicklin of neighbouring Pilkington Township, and they settled in Rockwood, in Eramosa Township. 'On Mill Street behind the Methodist Church was Benjamin Thurtell's flour mill, the first in the county, and prior to 1851.' Sometime after his death, the flour mill was burned." It is assumed that Benjamin Thurtell Jr. was buried with his father, but there is no monument.
