[Guy St-Denis - Byron: Pioneer Days in Westminster Township, p42] [John Stephens Jr.], who was born on Christmas Day 1813, continued to live on this farm [lot 47, C1] for close to 60 years. Although a life-long "Reformer" who was said to have taken a deep interest in politivcal and municipal metters, Stephens Jr. never occupied any public position except that of trustee of the Byron School. On January 27, 1890 he died and two days later the London Advertiser paid tribute to "his habits of industry, the skilful management of his farm, and his shrewd business talents" which culminated in making Stephens one of the wealthy men of not only Byron but Westminster as well. He was buried in the Brick street Cemetery beside his wife, Betsy Ann, who had predeceased him on March 18, 1867.	Stephens*, John (I392)

708	Summers 11 farmer, then introduced this area's first knitting machine 1869 and established a custom knitting shop in Byron; 1879 his four daughters established large knitting trade in London; 8 children Photo of him from London library on file. HCM, p. 1013]: Robert Summers, a resident of the 2nd Concession of Nissouri Township, Middlesex County, was born in County Cumberland, England, on the 14th of July, 1810,, his parents, Robert and Margaret (Bell) Summers, being natives of the same county....Robert has been a farmer the greater portion of his life, but for a time was engaged in merchandising. In 1865 he went to Massachusetts, and for about four years was engaged there in a cotton factory, but then returned to Middlesex County. Since that time he has resided five miles south-west of London, and is one of the oldest and most honored residents of the county. Although seventy-nine years of age, his memory is remarkable, and he recollects with distinctness incidents that happened when he first came to this county. He has always been a Reformer in politics. July 29, 1833, he was married to Miss Isabella robson, who was born in Cumberland County, England, and immigrated to Canada in 1820. The following are their children who are living: -- Margaret (Mrs. Kenny), Robert (in San Jose, California), Ann (wife of Albert McCulloch, in New York State, near Rochester), Jane (wife of Thomas H. Orrell), Isabella, Mary and Katherine. John, the eldest son, died in California on Christmas Day, 1878.	Summers*, Robert (I889)
709	Summers 12 -lived L37 C1 -their 3 young children under 4 died in Jan. 1864 "The other war-time squatter was James McNames, who was born in New York State in 1792. In 1804 he and his family immigrated to Upper Canada and lived on a reserved lot in Oxford Township. McNames bought Orrison Gillet's improvements on the southern part of lot 37, first concession, in October 1814 for $150, and shortly afterwards Gillet returned to the United States. In the spring of 1815 McNames moved his family onto the lot and over the next year cleared five acres of land in addition to the seven already improved. Then, on January 29, 1816, Sykes Tousley was allowed a large location in Westminster including the old location of Orrison Gillet, now, of course, occupied by McNames. As far as the government was concerned the lot was still located in Gillet's name and since he had returned to the United States, it was considered forfeited and located to Tousley. In March McNames brought the matter to the government's attention and it was later decided that McNames should be recommended for a grant of the north half of the lot, leaving the south half to Tousley. McNames accepted the government's decision and on March 5, 1817 he paid the necessary fees. Two years later, on December 18, 1819, he received his patent for the land, which he eventually sold on January 17, 1840 to Thomas Summers.

729	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. Groom's Name: Benjamin Teeple Groom's Age: 64 years Groom's Birth Date: 1837 Groom's Birthplace: Canada Bride's Name: Fannie Weaver Teeple Bride's Age: 48 years Bride's Birth Date: 1853 Bride's Birthplace: Canada Marriage Date: 10 Nov 1901 Marriage Place: Gladwin, Gladwin, Michigan Groom's Father: Edwd M.

Hope this helps. Roger 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] D.	Whitehead*, Jemima (I107)

735	the 1852 census places an Eliza A.

736	the Caleb Perkins family stone at BSC includes an Abigail Brown, died 19 Feb 1882, age 80 [b.1802]; could this have been a sister of Caleb's?(perkinsresearch.com lists his siblings but Abigail is not one of the names) Her death record gives no indication of family connections and census records for 1851, 1861, 1871 and 1881are not much help; She may have been living with Levi & Jane Fletcher in 1871, but who are they?? -1852 census: Caleb Perkins, 37, living with wife Ann, 2 sons, 2 daughters, widowed father, brother Harris's family; b.

746	Thomas (4), youngest son of Seth and Sarah (Harding) Putnam, was born in Delaware, Upper Canada, October 28, 1804, and died at Hamilton, Ontario, March 26, 1880. In 1825 he located in Dorchester, Upper Canada, which town was later (1839) named Putnam in his honor. He was largely engaged in mercantile and lumbering enterprises and became one of the most prominent men in private life in western Ontario. During the "patriot" rebellion of 1837-38 he became an object of suspicion to the Tory party, and was obliged to remain in concealment many weeks to avoid imprisonment and possibly a worse fate. He had a secret chamber in his house constructed to enter only by a sliding panel, where he lay while British soldiers searched the house. He greatly aided the rebel cause by money and influence. He was appointed a magistrate in 1838 by the governor-general of Canada, a life office and carrying the title of "Esquire." He refused all other public office. By the dishonesty of a partner, Squire Putnam met with severe business reverses late in life, which left him only a moderate competence after satisfying in full every creditor. He married (first) Nancy; daughter of Nicholas Dygert, a niece of General Nicholas Dygert, and granddaughter of John Dygert, who fought with General Herkimer at the battle of Oriskany. She was a sister to Eleanor Dygert, wife of William Putnam, who was killed at the battle of Windsor, Canada, previously mentioned. She bore him two children: Harriet Ann, born July 24, 1833; married Hugh Duncan Cameron, a grand-nephew of the Duke of Athol and Earl of Graham. He was born in Perthshire, Scotland, July 26, 1833, came to Canada in 1852, was treasurer of the Hamilton Provident Loan Association at Hamilton, Ontario, where he died May, 1895. Marshall Spring Bidwell, born October 25, 1837, died at Hamilton, March 13, 1880. Squire Putnam married (second), in 1844, Nancy, born 1822, died 1884, daughter of Rev. John Harris and his wife, who was also a daughter of Sylvanus Dygert. Children of second marriage, all born at Putnam, Ontario: Ephraim, born October 12, 1845, accidentally killed at the age of twenty-two years. Rev. Alanson Harris, born December 20, 1847; a minister of the Baptist church, Toronto, Ontario.
