1837 REBELLION
A letter from an anonymous writer to William Lyon Mackenzie, dated 8 Feb 1839, describes a "George W Meyers, son of Colonel Meyers of Belleville," who was on the wharf in Belleville and said he "going to look after Mackenzie". An informant reported this and George was arrested. According to the letter his father "an old Loyalist" got one of his brothers to tell the jailer that a different Mackenzie owed George money and if he would check George's account book he would see that he was wrongly accused. He was released.

Notes:

Where in Sidney Township did the Captain live?

In 1787 Meyers states in a petition that he drew Lots 8 & 9, on Con 1, Sidney. It appears from Canniff interviews that he settled on lot 7, Con 1, opposite an island that is mentioned in Canniff's interviews as both Myers Island and Smith's Island. Today this lot is the core of the RCAF property in Trenton and the island [Bakers Island] still exists now attached by a causeway to the airbase. See this image from Google Maps. Interestingly, the patent in 1797 for lot 7 was to sons George and Tobias W. Meyers suggesting that John somehow had the land board assign the lot to them.

In 1788 Meyers petitions for lots 1 to 13, Con 3 in Sidney and amazingly he is granted this whole section of land. See this chart of the original grantees in Sidney and you will see the extent of his grants.

As early as 1788 Meyers is casting his eye on the Moira River as a mill site. In that year, in a different petition, Meyers asks for a grant on the east side of the Moira River for a Saw and Grist Mill. Meyers selected the Moira because it was narrow and shallow enough to build a dam and banks to sustain a mill pond.

The Captain bought the north half of lot 5, Con 1, Thurlow from John Taylor around 1790 thinking that his mill and dam would be on this lot. In a petition of Catherine [Meyers] Bleecker, his daughter, dated 23 Feb 1791, Captain John Meyers is said to be "of Thurlow." In a petition dated July 1792 John states that he has built a Grist Mill on his land purchased from John Taylor. When it was surveyed more carefully he discovered that his dam encroached on Lot 4, an Indian Reserve. This was the subject of many petitions and was not resolved till the town plan of 1816 and 2 acres of lot 4 were granted to Meyers. Part of the mill still survives

Died:
Buried in Whites Cemetery in Sidney Twp

John married Mary (Polly) KRUGER in 1765. Mary was born in 1745; died in 1816. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
