[History of the County of Middlesex, Canada p.572] "Robert Summers came from Cumberland County, England, in 1819, bringing with him his family. It is stated that the family came the time that James Nixon's family came; but this is wrong, as the Nixons settled in New York in 1816, and came to Westminster in February, 1819
[London Township Families Past & Present, p485] "Robert Summers (1756-1833) was a farmer and weaver in Bewcastle, Cumberland, England. His wife was Margaret Bell (1767-1858). They immigrated to Upper Canada in 1819 with their three sons and four daughters and settled in Middlesex County. They spent the first winter on Con. 2, then moved to Brick St., Westminster Twp. in 1820 where the parents lived out their lives. Some of their children married people from London Township. The children were Margaret (Mrs. James Nixon), Jane (Mrs. George Routledge), Mary (Mrs. Eli Trowbridge), John, Elizabeth (Mrs. George Robson), Robert Jr. (Isabella Robson), and Thomas.

Teeple 5
[Guy St-Denis - Byron: Pioneer Days in Westminster Township, p97] [Archibald] Burtch, who was thus the fourth individual involved with the lot [34, northern part, south of Commissioners' Road], was another American. He had married Susannah, daughter of Peter Teeple, a United Empire Loyalist, of Oxford Township. As a daughter of a Loyalist she was entitled to 200 acres. Soon after, Burtch and his brother-in-law, Edward Teeple, who was located on lot 33, went to Westminster to begin their settlement duties. Unfortunately, they were unable to find their respective lots and so returned home. On February 6, 1816 Burtch penned a letter to Surveyor General Ridout regarding the location of his lot and at the same time alluded to the claims of others to what he understood was his and Teeple's land.
[p98] Edward Teeple helped Burthch to clear it and erect a house for which services he was paid $103.
Edward married Jemima Whitehead* on 01 Nov 1814 in Norfolk Co., UC. Jemima (daughter of Silas Whitehead and Ruth Condit) was born in 1797 in Long Island, NY; died on 08 Feb 1875. [Group Sheet]

Teeple 5
Roger Whitehead at [email protected] says in an email dated 24 Apr 2012 Jemima was a daughter of Benjamin Whitehead and thus sister to William & Daniel Whitehead. We questioned him and he replied:
Hi David
Thanks for keeping me in the loop re Whitehead and Brick Street Cemetery.
After your latest email I have been doing a little research and found there were two people named Jemima Teeple in Ontario at the same time.
In the 1851 Census a Jemima Teeple is listed in Malahide, Elgin County age 55 born NJ living with William B Teeple age 65 a farmer born in NB. Two children Lydia (23) and Stephen (22) were still with them.
Also in the 1851 Census a Jemima (spelt Jamima) is listed in Westminster Middlesex County age 55 born US living with Edward Teeple age 57 a blacksmith born in NS. Four children James (26), Aaron (23), Benjamin (21) and Helen (12) were still at home.
With this "duplication" it is easy to see how the two families can be confused.
Several Michigan censuses state the mother of those Teeples who went to Michigan was born NY.
The Michigan marriage of Benjamin Teeple to his brother Aaron's widow shows their mother's maiden name was Whitehead.

My research:
Hi
I've done some research into the Jemima Teeples. William Bullard Teeple and Edward Manning Teeple were brothers. Both married Jemimas. William married Jemima Leek and lived in Elgin, and Edward married Jemima Whitehead and lived in Middlesex. It is still not clear who Jemima Whitehead's parents were. If her father was Benjamin, which I strongly suspect, then she is a sister of William and Daniel and that connects all the Whiteheads at BSC. I found someone on Ancestry who has researched the Whiteheads of Middlesex. I have sent an email and hope she can help us. [no reply as of Oct 2012]
