. Lot 51, Con 1, Vaughan:
Richmond Hill's first settler, Balser Munshaw, originally settled the land, but abandoned it within a year. Barrister William B. Peters received Lot 51 in 1807. This was only a portion of the lands assigned to him. As well, his wife received 600 acres as wife of a barrister. By 1835 it had passed through the hands of Francis Jackson, Daniel Tiers, James Fleck, John S. Baldwin, Alexander Montgomery, & Aaron Munshaw to Hugh Stewart. Fleck operated an inn here in the 1820s. It may have been the same site upon which the original Elgin Mills hotel of Robert Bingham was located. The northwest corner, corner of Elgin Mills & Yonge Street also contained the Newton Tannery, Dickson's steam sawmill, Trench's blacksmith shop, & John Hamilton's cooperage.
Ref: Early Days in Richmond Hill, Robert M. Stamp, 1930.

"It should be pointed out that the Myers family, unlike most Jews during the Revolution, were Loyalists. During most of the war, Newport was occupied by the British troops & the Myers family was relatively safe. When the British evacuated Newport in fear of the Continental Army, the family, now under the care of the widow, Rachel, followed along. One document has her begging for provisions. The paper is signed by several British officers who had "mercy due to the largeness of her family."
Benjamin Jr. & his brother Abraham were exiled in New Brunswick along with their sister, Juda Myers Montgomery. The records are a little unclear but it seems that their mother & the younger children accompanied them. Eventually all of the Myers family returned to New York except, of course, Juda. Their mother, Rachel, died March 30, 1801, in New York."
