John Corry Wilson Daly

Lieutenant-Colonel John Corry Wilson Daly (24 March, 1796 – 1 April, 1878) was politician, businessperson, militia officer, and the first Mayor of Stratford, Ontario.

Daly was born in Liverpool, England, and educated in Ireland. He served as a surgeon's assistant in the Royal Navy. He moved to Stratford in 1833, becoming post-master and opening the town's first store. He is often regarded as Stratford's founder, although he was not the first person to live there.
