780	WESTBROOK, James, Pte., served under Captain Daniel Springer 1812, 1814. Possible identification: Born August 25, 1786 in Luzerne, Pennsylvania, son of Leonard Westbrook & Margaret Brinck; married Susan Cathcart in New York; living in Ohio in 1820, and in Iowa in 1840; died June 25, 1854 in Sabula, Jackson, Iowa. "James Westbrook, a son of Leonard Westbrook, was located on the north p[art of lot 36. During the war he deserted to the enemy, and it was said that before he did so he sold his location to Silvanus Reynolds. But Reynolds later stepped forward and declared that he had no interest in, nor claim to the lot. It was then decided that the transaction, if any, was simulated by Westbrook possibly in an attempt to hold his location by subterfuge. This property was later granted to Sykes Tousley." [Byron: Pioneer Days in Westminster Township, Guy St-Denis]	Westbrook, James (I1736)
781	WESTBROOK, Leonard, Pte., served under Captain Daniel Springer 1814. Possible identification: born ca 1795, son of Leonard Westbrook & Margaret Brinck; found on 1851 census in Westminster, age 59 (born 1793 in United States), with wife Hannah.	Westbrook, Leonard (I1742)
782	WESTBROOK, Nicholas, Pte., served under Captain Daniel Springer 1814, received Land Claim Certificate Unit Flank Company 1st Regiment Middlesex Militia, vol 24, File 90 pages 1556-1557. Possible identification; born October 6, 1792 in Luzerne, Pennsylvania, son of Leonard Westbrook & Margaret Brinck; married Hannah Patrick; died August 17, 1862 in Williams Township, Huron County. Was his wife, Hannah Patrick, the daughter of Abraham & Lucy Patrick, b1806? The Delaware/Westminster book mentions her on p511 but says there is no other information. "The first wartime incident of squatting in the Byron area seems to have taken place on July 1, 1813 when Nicholas Westbrook assumed Robert Frank's location." "Westbrook...entered the province in February of 1810....a follower of Simon Z. Watson. On July 1, 1813 he went on Frank's lot evidently believing that it was really as vacant as it looked, and probably expecting that he would be confirmed there after the war. It is impossible to know what transpired between the two men concerning the lot, and perhaps it is just as well; in the end it was Frank who received the lot. Westbrook, who may have been paid for the work he did on Frank's land, later moved across the Thames River and took up land in neighboruing London Township."

787	William B. Teeple, the eldest son, was born 28th January 1788, and was, like his father, an enormously big man, and a captain of Provincial Militia at the battle of Lundy's Lane. At the latter engagement he had, as an orderly, a French-Canadian of rather small stature who used to say to his towering commanding officer: "Captain Teeple you are a very big man, and when the fighting gets hot, I am going to get behind you". In actual warfare, however, the little French-Canadian exposed himself so fearlessly that he was mortally wounded early in the battle. A portion of the scarlet uniform worn by Capt. W.B. Teeple in that engagement, made up in the form of the quaint "knitting sheaths" of the period, is still in the possession of the writer, one of his grandsons. On the 4th January 1818 he was married to Jemima Leek, at Temperanceville, now Orwell, by Mahlon Burwell, J.P., and soon after settled on 200 acres of land being lot 1, concession 8, in the Township of Malahide, County of Elgin, the land being a grant from the Crown for military services rendered. He died on the 8th of April, 1857, leaving a goodly estate. His children in order of birth, were Jared Topping, Susan Celestia, James Jackson, Symantha J., Temperance Ursula, Lydia Ann, Stephen William, and Sarah, the last two being twins. Of these, Lydia Ann was married to James F. Waterbury on the 22 of June 1852, by Rev. Caleb Burdick, at Temperanceville. At this date (1899), she resides at Cambridgeport, Mass., and is the mother of the writer of these annals.	Teeple, William Bullard (I1356)

789	William, born November 6, 1793; killed at the battle of Windsor, Canada, December 4, 1838; was associated with his brothers in business, all being prosperous farmers and lumbermen. He was captain of a Canadian troop and served at Lundy's Lane and Queenstown Heights. Later he joined in the "patriot" rebellion and led the attack on Windsor, which was made against his advice. He was instantly killed, shot through the brain. He married Eleanor, daughter of Sylvanus Dygert, a niece of General Nicholas Herkimer, and nearly related to the Van Rensselaers. Sylvanus was taken prisoner by the Indians in the same raid. His father was killed and scalped. He was held a prisoner at Montreal for three years.

793	[from Barb Norton of Edmonton] He was married to Ellen McDonnell and their son, Bruce Stanley Norton, died in 1954 and is buried in Ohio according to my family records. We believe Ellen died in 1941 but do not know where she is buried. George was in the asylum (I think) and died there (Adelaide Township) but his death record and death notice in the newspaper indicates his body was brought to Brick Street.

794	[from George DeKay]: William Walters (1769-1850) was a lawyer belonging to the firm of Walters and Geach in Newport, County Monmouth, Wales. He was married to Mary Philips, daughter of Squire Philips, a man of considerable means. Walters became, in time, independently wealthy but lost heavily through bank failures. After this he decided to start a new life in America and left Wales in March 1816 leaving his wife and seven children behind. He arrived in the Talbot Settlement in Upper Canada and obtained the east half of Lot 37, Con. 2 in Westminster Township. By 1818 he was ready to send for his wife and children. They arrived in 1819. His wife, Mary, died the next year and was buried in Brick St. Cemetery. With her death William Sr. decided to leave the farm to his twin sons, William Jr. and Walter and about 1824 he moved to the Welsh settlement in Denfield in London Township. With his professional background his advice was trusted and much valued in this new settlement. He was a Deacon in the Denfield Baptist Church for many years.minster in 1820 [DWT] Walters 3	Walters*, William (I1254)

796	[Guy St. Denis - Byron: Pioneer Days in Westminster Township, p119] [William] Montague was a whitesmith, or tinsmith, who made cutlery, gun barrels and other such fine forging work. In 1811 he took his family to the United States and settled near Roxbury, then six miles from Boston. Afterwards, he moved to Biddeford, Maine where he worked in a shipyard at the mouth of the Saco River. When war broke out in 1812 Montague removed with his familyt o Upper Canada by way of Albany, New York and enlisted in the 49th Regiment. As the regimental armourer it was Montague's responsibility to maintain the guns and other arms in good repair; this position, however, did not preseve him from actual military service. During the Battle of Lundy's Lane his company was ordered to reinforce the British who, like their foe, suffered manmy casualties during this engagement. After the war Montague and his familyh returned to the United States and lived near Albany until 1816. In that year the Montagues removed to the Long Point settlement in Upper Canada, and in 1817 they took up residence in London Township. William Montague remained there clearing and famring a considerable amount of land until he died on September 26, 1822. His wife survived him until 1858.	Montague, William (I1750)
797	[HCM p. 917] Isaac (father of Jacob. J. Manning) removed with his family in 1833 to Westminster Township, settled on 200 acres of land on the Fourth Concession, where members of the family still reside. He was married in 1794 to Miss Sarah Willse, by whom he became the father of the following family: - Jacob J., John, Harry, Alpha, willsey, Isaac, Polly, Matilda, Evis, Eleanor, and Sabrina. Mr. Manning was a member of the Methodist Church, one of the first settlers of Westminster Township, and died at the age of seventy-seven years.	Manning, Isaac (I620)
798	[HCM p.917] Jacob J. Manning is of Irish-German lineage, and is a descendant of a prominent old family, the founder in America being a native of Ireland, and a pioneer settler in Dutchess County, New York, in which county he located many years before the Revolutionary war. Jacobe Manning, the grandfather of our subject, was born in York State, and was a farmer by occupation, and during the American Revolution was a Loyalist, emigrating a few years after that struggle to Canada, where he and his tree sons each were given 200 acres of land for the assistance they rendered the British Government during that war. Jacob J. Manning was born near Rouse's Point, N.Y., in 1795, but was reared on his father's farm in Canada, marrying, after a suitable age, Elizabeth Palen, which union resulted in the birth of eight children - Henrietta,Lawrence, Lucetta, William, Rachel, Sally A., John G., and Almina. Mr. Manning was appointed Lieutenant in the Militia, and rose to the rank of Captain, and afterwards began filling the duties of Magistrate. He owned a farm, and, about 1834, emigrated to Middlesex County, and settled on the Sixth Concession of Westminster Township, where he cleared a farm of 200 acres. He was appointed Magistrate soon after coming to this county, which office he is still filling, and became Captain of the Militia, being afterwards appointed to the rank of Colonel, an office he filled until old age compelled him to resign. He has been a church member for more thatn sixty years, and throughout his long and useful walk through life has commanded the respect and esteem of all who knew him. During his early career he kept a store for fourteen years, where Belmont now stands. which enterprise was attended with good success, and although at the present time he has reached the advanced age of ninety-three years, he is still active, and retains his mental faculties to a remarkable degree.	Manning, Jacob J. (I1902)
799	[HCM, p. 1001]: John McAdam was from the Lowlands of Scotland, and immigrated to London Township, Middlesex County, Ont., in 1819, on the 7th Concession, Lot 13, and there passed his last days.	McAdam, John (I877)
800	[HCM, p. 742]: William Brient...was born on the old homestead in 1821, and in early life learned the art of tilling the soil. He was united in marriage to Miss Grace A. Lemon, daughter of John and Rachel Lemon. To Mr. and Mrs. Brient were born six children - John W. (deceased), Jane (deceased), Rachel A., Susan, Mary (deceased), Emma. After marriage Mr. Brient settled on a part of the old homestead, and now owns 350 acres of that land. He is an industrious, hard-working man, and one of the county's first-class citizens. He and wife oare members of the Baptist Church, as are all his children. Mr. Brient has assisted greatly in developing the resources of the county, and has done a great deal in church and educational matters. He is a man who is well respected by all acquainted with him.
