21451 | Richard Lawrence Hamilton, Part THREE: Life in Old Ontario PIONEERS of OLD ONTARIO: One of the great privations at the beginning was in the long intervals between regular religious observances. I remember when we were crossing the ocean, William Hunter, who afterwards settled in Chingacousy, came to our quarters & had prayers with us every night & morning. After we arrived at our new home the first regular services were held by the Rev. Mr. McMurchy, who came over from Eldon township for the purpose. John Gunn, father of the founders of Gunn's Limited, was a volunteer helper. He made a regular practice of reading Scriptures & praying with the old people of the settlement, who, owing to growing infirmities, were unable to attend the regular church services that were held. Daniel Cameron was another who helped in this same way." "When church services were held, people travelled as much as 30 miles to take part ' said Angus McDougall, the son of the speaker. "I have known them, even in my time, to come in lumber-wagons from as far as Sutton on the south, Uptergrove? on the north, & Woodville on the west to the old stone church at Beaverton. Their earnestness was shown not only in the distance they travelled but in the patience with which they sat through services lasting from 11 o'clock till four, while their simple faith & devout thankfulness were voiced in the Psalms which filled the old church with a stern melody. Duncan Gillespie was the precentor. He read the Psalms line by line, & then led the congregation as they sang in praise & thanksgiving. The favourite Psalms were the 103 & 123rd. ... ' . A CHINGACOUSY VILLAGE: Few men witnessed more varying stages of the pioneer period than did Abraham Campbell, whom I met at lot 28 on the first concession of Chingacousy in July, 1899. Mr. Campbell spent his life on the farm on which he was born when Chingacousy was the farthest settlement north of the lake. As a child & youth he saw other pioneers pass his door on their way to the virgin forests of Dufferin, Grey, & Bruce. He was witness of the annual summer pilgrimage of the men from the newer lands of the north to the older settlements of the south in search of employment in which they might earn bread for the winter. As the forests of the northland were pushed back before the attack of the axe-men, he viewed the winter procession of teams by which the grain of the north country was hauled toward lake ports. To all this Mr. Campbell was able to add what his father had told him of days prior to the period covered by his own recollection, the period when even the Niagara district was young. His father as a youth was at Queenston Heights, Stoney Creek, & Lundy's Lane, & one of the most prized possessions of the Campbell homestead, when I was there in 1899, was an iron pot,18 inches in diameter, captured from the American forces at Stoney Creek, & still doing duty in the Campbell homestead over 80 years later. Mr. Campbell's father & 6 brothers took up 1000 in Chingacousy about 1820, after having journeyed from the old family home in Lincoln County by an ox-team. From Cooksville to their locations, the way led over a road made through the bush with their own axes. A quarter of a century later Campbell's Cross, on the highway connecting north & south, was a scene of bustling life. " There was a tavern there containing 18 rooms," said Mr. Campbell, "& in those rooms I have known 20 or 30 people to be accommodated over night. As late as two o'clock in the morning I have seen the bar-room so full of people that one could not get near the bar itself. There were three stores in the village at that time, & they were all busy places. Whence did the business come? Largely from the north country, which by that time had begun to produce a surplus. I have seen as many as one hundred teams arrive with grain in a single day. Part of the grain was bought by local merchants & teamed by them to Port Credit for shipment by water. Some of the farmers hauled their own grain all the way to the lake port. " Teaming this grain was real labour. Between Chingacousy & the north, hauling was possible only in winter, & even then 25 to 30 bushels made a load. In coming down the Caledon mountain it was necessary to put a drag on the sleighs. Those who did their own teaming to Toronto or Port Credit frequently used ox-teams & sleighs to Campbell's Cross & then borrowed wagons for the journey to Toronto. On some of these journeys the snow was up to the backs of the oxen when north of the Caledon mountain, [Hwy. 10/ Hurontario St., Halton Co. - PJA], - while south of our place the animals wallowed to their bellies in slush & mud. Some of these northern farmers came from as far back as Owen Sound with grass seed, venison, & pork for sale, the round trip occupying well over a week. At times the nights were spent in the bush while sleet or rain beat in through the partial covering afforded by the forest. But the people were happy with it all. Return cargoes usually consisted of groceries & a half barrel of whiskey, & as long as the latter kept the interior warm, exterior cold did not matter much to the hardy men of that day. "At the period covered by my earliest recollection bears & wolves were common in Chingacousy. I have more than once seen cows come home with flanks & udders so badly torn that the animals had to be killed. During the 'thirties, 'forties, & 'fifties, the father of Kenneth Chisholm, who for years represented Peel in the Legislature, made staves from the oaks that covered a good deal of the township. The staves were hauled to the Credit by oxen, floated down the stream to the Port, & thence shipped to England. About 1860, while I was assisting in removing an old oak stump, we unearthed a tool that had been used in splitting staves. "One of my earliest election recollections is connected with the contest in which Colonel Ed. Thompson defeated William Lyon Mackenzie in the year before the Rebellion [1837]. That was the most exciting electoral battle we ever had. The electors of Caledon, Chingacousy, & Toronto townships all went to Streetsville to vote. The polls remained open for a week or two & for most of that time my father was engaged in hauling Tories to the voting place. On the last day of polling 5 or 6 teams were massed &, headed by bagpipes, took the last of the voters to the poll. When Oakville rivaled Toronto: Robert W. Brock, whom I met at Belfountain about the same time that 1 had the interview with Mr. Campbell, gave some further information of early days in Peel & Dufferin. "At the time of my earliest recollections," Mr. Brock said, "the Centre Road had displaced the first concession of Chingacousy as the leading highway to the north. In the late 'sixties, I have seen that road black with teams & traffic going on day & night. This continued until the old narrow gauge T. GK & B. was built to Owen Sound & markets were opened at Orangeville, Shelburne, & Dundalk. Then the glory of Churchville & Streetsville began to wane. Ref: When Oakville Rivaled Toronto, 1879.

We are please to state that the prospects for the family coming into possession of their share of the property at no distant date are very encouraging., much more so in fact that in the majority of similar claims. The history of this estate - the celebrated Lawrence-Townley estate ...heirs of estates in England have for 40y. been making spasmodic efforts to get possession of the vast property, are now combining together to make a general investigation... enormous sum of $ 8 million ... by Act of British Parliament passed Aug 4, decided to pay over to all legal heirs their moneys. In Toronto alone there are 20 families who have claims. One of the heirs will leave for England in a few weeks to compare notes with the London agent. Mr. Wm. Northcoate Geare, of 475 King St W is one of the heirs, is acting as agent, receiving correspondence.

21459 | Richard Otis was General Dict of Maine & New Hampshire. He was a blacksmith, adm. inhab. of Boston May 1655, but settled at Dover where he had a grant of land before that year was out. Not in sympathy with the established church and often in court for absence. Administrator of William Lemon 1662 and of James Heard 1677. He admitted the Masonian claims & agreed to pay ground rent for his lands in 1683. His first wife was Rose Stoughton, daughter of Anthony, a strong Puritan, who had come to Boston with her kinsman Israel Stoughton. On the night of 28 Jun 1689 his garrison was attacked by Indians, admitted by treachery, & he was murdered. Some of his family shared his fate, but his wife, daughters and at least 3 grandchildren were taken captive. Ref: A Genealogical Memoir of the Family of Richard Otis" by Horatio N. Otis, 1851. The Cochecho Massacre "In one bloody afternoon, a quarter of the colonists in what is now downtown Dover, NH were gone -- 23 killed, and 29 captured in a revenge attack by native warriors. In one afternoon, 50 years of peaceful co-existence between the Penacook tribe & European colonists ended. The massacre of 1689 entered the history books along with similar accounts throughout the Seacoast. With three-quarters of the native population afflicted by white diseases, dead or driven out of their ancestral homeland, the next half century brought the final gasps of protest against the unending "white tide" of settlers." Ref: www.seacoastnh.com - On Thursday, the 27th of June, 1689, the dwelling-house of Richard Otis, was attacked by the Indians, & himself shot as he was rising up in bed, & his son Stephen & daughter Hannah were killed, the latter, then 2 years old, by dashing her head against the chamber stairs. The wife & infant child & of 3 months, with others, 29 in all, were carried captive to Canada, & sold to the French. Ref: A Genealogical Memoir of the Family of Richard Otis", by Horatio N. Otis, 1851. In this Abenaki Indian massacre in 1689 in Dover, New Hampshire, many of the Otis family were killed. One of his granddaughters, in the 4th generation, Mary Otis, was also taken in that Indian attack and sold to the French. How she returned to marry Ebenezer Varney is still a mystery. The Otis family began to follow the Society of Friends (Quakers) during the 1700's, and their descendants followed them in this faith. - - - | OTIS, Richard (I1615)

21462 | Richard Smith was referred to by his sons-in-laws as, Father Smith. Smith was also called 'The Quaker'. Richard, Junior was similarly employed & an Assemblyman. The third Richard Smith, Esq. was also an Provincial Assemblyman, but resigned based on the Quaker prohibition to bearing arms. . 1656 Oct 17 - It is ordered by the General Court that Richard Smith, for his unreverend carriage towards the Magistrates contrary to the order, was adjudged to be banished out of the Towne & he is to have a weeke's liberty to prepare himself to departe & if at any time he be found after this limit weeke within the Towne or the bounds thereof he shall forfeit 20 shillings" Whether he paid the fine or resolved the issue in some other way, he was back sometime later engaged in a controversy with Henry Pierson. A time honored tradition exists that the said Richard Smith made a pact with the Indians to the effect that he should have all of the land that he could ride around in a day on his trained bull. Starting at sunrise & dashing through swamps & over hill & dale, by sunset he had returned to his setting out place. Hence the appellation of Bull Smith. A valley near the Smithtown & Huntington line, adjacent to Fort Salonga became known as "Bread & Cheese Hollow" where it is said Richard stopped to eat his lunch in his mad ride for the possession of the desired land. . 1665 SMITHTOWN, LONG ISLAND Smith applied for & obtained the following patent from Governor Nicolls: A confirmation of a tract of land called Nesequauke granted unto Richard Smith of Long Island.

That is to say: That in regard there hath arisen some dispute & controversy between the Inhabitants of the Towne of Huntington & Captaine Robert Ceely of the same place concerning that Parcel of land lying to ye westward of Nesequauke River, which for the consideration virtue of the aforementioned Agreement was to enjoy. But now is molested & hindered in the quiet Possession thereof. The said Rich'd Smith shall be obliged to settle only 10 familyes on the lands before mentioned within the space of three years after the date hereof. But if it shall hereafter happen that the said Richard Smith shall clear his Title & be lawfully posses of the premises as aforesaid, that then he, the said Richard Smith shall settle the full number of 20 familyes within 5 years after such Clearing of his Title, & being lawfully Possess as aforesaid, & shall fulfill whatsoever in the said Agreement is required. & for an encouragement to the said Richard Smith in his setting the families aforementioned the Plantations upon the said Nesequauke Lands shall, from the first settlement until the expiration of the Terme or Termes of years, be free from all Rates or Taxes, & shall have no dependence upon any other place ; but in all respects have like & equal privileges with any Town within this government, Provided aways That the said Richard Smith, his Heirs & Assigns shall render & pay such other acknowledgements & duties as are or shall be Constituted & Ordained by his Royal Highness the Duke of Yorke & his Heirs, or such Governor or Governors as shall from time to time be appointed & Sett over them.

Richard Nicolls. Still the Indians were not entirely satisfied & Smith had to give a dozen coats, a blanket, a gun, some powder & shot & various other commodities before he satisfied, in 1665, the last of the Indian claimants to his extensive possessions. It will be seen that the Nicolls patent conferred upon the territory the dignity & privileges of a town, & soon after its receipt the patentee, "Air. Richard Smith of Nesequauke" as he is described, identified his own. name with his Estate as "Smithfield," at least we find it so mentioned on March 8, 1666. The patent also shows he had a dispute on hand with the people of Huntington as to his boundary lines, & soon afterward he had similar trouble with Brookhaven & a long course of litigation followed, lasting until 1775. Into the details of that long controversy over boundaries there is no occasion to enter here ; the interEst in the matter is purely antiquarian, & is of no practical or even historical importance. Smith fought every phase of the dispute with dogged pertinacity & on the whole was successful in his claims. A curious feature of his defensive operations was his defense against a claim set up for some of his l&s by John Safifin, administrator of the Estate of Captain Thomas Willett, to whom the Jonas Wood syndicate had disposed of an interEst in their purchase of 1650. The claim was duly entered, but the claimants were silenced in some way by Smith, for it seems not to have been pushed. Several other claims were brought against this property under the same 1650 deed, but he seems to have settled them out of court. The last settlements of which there is record were dated on March 3, 1684, by the sons of Daniel Whitehead & Timothy Wood. But long before that date Smith had still further fortified his position by obtaining a fresh patent from Governor Andros, in which the township honors were renewed, the boundaries again defined & the name of Smithtown, for the first time, given to the territory.Smith applied for & obtained a patent from Governor Nicolls.

21479 | Robert and Lydia lived near Thomas and Martha according to the 1881 Census for Cramahe Township. They were married on March 6, 1879. Living with Robert and Lydia was their son Burton E. who was one year old at the time of the census. Also living with Robert and Lydia was a Widow by the name of Jane, who was 72 years old, and who was born in Ireland. I am presuming that this was Robert's mother. An Eliza Jane, age 31, was also living there, and I believe she was a sister to Robert. There is an Eliza Brintnell (1850 1935) married to a Gilbert Waite (1853 1935), both buried in Waite Cemetery. Jane Brintnell is buried in Waite Cemetery. Robert died on Jan. 16, 1897 at the age of 43 years, 7 months, and 11 days. Robert and Lydia are both buried in Waite Cemetery. There is a Louis J. Brintnell buried with Robert and Lydia, and I presume he was their son. He died in 1911 at the age of 25 years. The third child, Martha Beatrice, was born in 1890 and died at the age of four months.
