Since the Massey family that owned the mansion in earlier times was the one that held shares in Massey-Ferguson, would this have been the home of Charles Vincent Massey, Governor-General of Canada?
He was a namesake of my father-in-law (who was also Charles Massey), and we believe there is a family connection going back to Ireland.

According to Wikipeadia, Charles Vincent Massey was raised in the home to the north of what is now the Keg Mansion (formerly Euclid hall). It was the former Governor-General's grandfather, Hart Massey, who lived in Euclid Hall.
