. ALEXANDER MONTGOMERY, New Loyalist Claim 720,
That at the Commencement of War he had only 2 sons with him that could bear arms who were the staff of his old age. At the arrival of British troops at NY, he intended at the first opportunity to send his sons to help in defense of Gov., which he affected with great difficulty for he had to secret them in the woods 2 months before they got off, but being one aged man & unable to bear arms in defense of Gov. & having some small motherless children, he thought most prudent to keep himself still & stick by his property where he might help poor Loyalist that, was hunted up & down & secret Refugees from from New York to Canada, which he afterwards did, however would often take him before the Committees & detain him some time discharged him with paying so much money without giving him any account what it was for; this they did often but the sum of the whole he does not known for it was considerable.

Further he had a Bond of a Person for £145. He has a Proprietor's Right in a considerable Tract of lands in Province of NY. He could not obtain a record copy or the commissioners.
. Sometime after his sons arrival with British Lines, they were sent with a small Party of Gov. Service to penetrate Am. Lines, the Chief of which was killed or taken prisoner & his 2 sons were stripped naked & sent to to Goal at Poughkeepsie, NY who sent him a letter for help, on which he what necessaries he could & some money & sent to them, but durst not go himself. Then they removed to Lancashire, Pennsylvania where he could send them no succor, where they continued 18 months almost famished with hunger & cold & as his sons were under age he was afraid the the hard usage might compel them to tell that he sent them off, & he would be taken away.
He got in a boat but got taken by whale boats & carried in a prisoner. That night thro' help of a Friend remade his Escape & his little children followed him with his saddle Horse & other which Horse he afterwards got by the help of a Friend [i.e. a Quaker] who joined him across a River close by the guards & brought him within the British Lines which horse was valued there at £450 which walk all he ever got of his property, by which reason he is reduced to real poverty.

At a meeting of the independent Electors for York, Durham & Simcoe Counties, held at the Town York, Mr. Joseph Sheppard in the Chair, Respected Sir:
With unfeigned sorrow we lean that orders have been given to leave your name out the the Commission of Assize, which will deprive the instructive lessons flowing from your mouth while presiding on the seat of justice. … We have not received any information for what cause or reason such orders have been issued. We earnestly entreat nothing may tempt you to leave us.

It should be dangerous to the peace of the Colony in regard to Mr Thorpe, who appears to consider his character as a judge, but matter is to be chiefly ambitious character of a factious demagogue. . . .The address & answer are generally believed to be the production of Mr. Thorpe, no public meeting was ever held.

Thus, Alex. C. Cairns married Aunt Margaret Perrine as her 2nd. husband. Additionally, John Cairns, lived near by in Fredericton; his WILL was dated 26 May 18, Executors Dr. Charles Earle & Jonathan Odelle.
Additionally, Alexander Cairns was executor of both his great-grandfather John Poillon, Sr., of Southfield, Staten Island, NY & great-mother, Margaret Perrine Poillon.

In 1796 Mrs. Mary Rezeau Lawrence named her fourth son Alexander Cairns Lawrence after her Uncle Alex C. Cairns. The original Henry Latourrette homestead, built 150 years earlier, close to the site of the French Church St. Andrews was sold in 1798 to the their neighbor, Capt. Alexander Cairns.

. 1861 Nov 22. Correspondence: Assault & Battery, To the Editor of the York Herald
Sir, Permit me, through your columns, to say a few words concerning the case of maladministration on the part of your local Magistrates of Richmond Hill:
Adult & Battery, Weber Vs. Edwards, before D Bridgford, Esq., on of her Majesty's Justice of the Peace; Robert Marsh, A. C. Lawrence & J D. Duncumb, Esqires, associates - when the following verdict was rendered. After hearing the evidence & duly considering the case, rendered that Charles Edwards to pay a fine of $1 & costs. Signed, D Bridgford, J.P.
After all costs were paid, the case was brought before J Duncumb, Mr. Edwards Vs Webster for the same offense, (Assault & Battery) R Marsh, A C Lawrence & D Bridgeford Esq. & Associates. The same witnesses having been sworn as in the former case, with little additional evidence but of no consequence, another verdict was rendered. The following is in the substance:
After attentive consideration & hearing of the witnesses for both plaintiff & defendant the case was dismissed, each party to pay their own costs. £1 1s 6d each. Signed, J Duncumb, Marsh Lawrence & D Bridgford.

Now, sir how is it possible for a bench of magistrates to sit down & order Edwards to pay a fine of $1 for assault & battery on Webster, when the assault was clearly proven against him & then at the next sitting before J Duncumb dismiss the case, each paying their won costs. I ask J Duncumb or any other of the Magistrates, (or even dare them) to show me how Webster has £1 1s. 6d costs to pay, as all the costs he had were his 2 witnesses & that he paid before either of the cases were tried? or how is it possible for a magistrate to tell how he is going to deal with the case before he hears the evidence, or even expresses himself on the public street how he is going to deal with a case before it comes to court? This, I understand by the Doctor's own language, that he was bound to make Webster pay if in his power. I would only ask, does such sentiments show an unprejudiced mind or not, or is any man fit to deal out justice to the public with such personal feeling? I do not want to offend either of the gentlemen, but I hope they will study their codes of law better & then they will be able to render justice according to the evidence without any personal feeling; not forgetting the rule laid down in holy writ, "Do unto all men as you would that all men should do to you."
But I understand the case has been taken to Toronto, to be brought up at the next Quarter Sessions, where, I hope, juice will be done to all parties concerned. Yours truly, Justice. Markham, Nov 20, 1861.

I will state that I have been most anxious to go, but on account of the sickness of my wife, I could not start at once.

. 1832 Jan 2 - A spectacular phenomenon or pageant in the streets of York, on connected with the troubles of the time, must be mentioned. It was a demonstration to celebrate the second return of Mr. Mackenzie, after expulsion adopted description given by himself in his Sketches. A procession was formed at the Red Lion Inn, on Yonge Street [near Bloor St.] - Price's or Daniel Tier's [Beef Steak & Beer House] where the hustings [events] were.
In front of it was an immense sleigh belonging to Mr. Montgomery, which was drawn by 4 horses, carried between 20 - 30 men & 2 or 3 Highland pipers. From 50 to 100 sleighs followed, & between 1 - 2000 of the inhabitants. The procession passed by the Government House, from thence to the Parliament House, thence to Mr. Cawthra's, & then to Mr. Mackenzie's own house, giving cheers at each of these places. One of the most singular curiosities of the day." it is added, was a little printing-press, placed on one of the sleighs, warmed by a furnace, on which a couple of boys continued, while moving through the streets, to strike off their New Year's Address, & throw it to the people. Over the press was hoisted a crimson flag, with the motto, 'The Liberty of the Press.'
On the apex of Mr. Montgomery's pyramidal sleuth, stood the hero of the day himself, wearing the golden chair & medal presented to him a free hours previously, at the Red Lion.

Toronto History:
. On July 30, 1793, Lieutenant-Governor Simcoe landed at Toronto Bay to supervise the planing of a garrison & town. Thus the arrival of the Montgomery family in 1798 (as well as the Marsh family) was not coincidental, but part of the general shift of population. In the fall of 1798 Alexander Jr., with his family, moved to Toronto, then known as Little York. Statira Montgomery Dodge, writing for her mother, Sarah Montgomery Marsh, claims that Alexander Montgomery Jr. was a good friend of the governor.

When the Montgomery's arrived, the town had approximately 250 people. Ironically, York was largely settled by Americans. Most of these Loyalist Americans settled in farming townships on Yonge Street.

The first record we have of the family is in1804 in March of that year their daughter, Sarah married William Marsh Jr., who was employed as a blacksmith in his father's shop on Yonge St.  
In 1812 Alexander & his son John managed to find themselves in the thick of the war with the Americans. At the time they were in Kingston bringing provisions by boat when they spotted the American invasion fleet. In an effort to warn Toronto of the impending invasion, John Montgomery along with his brother-in-law William Hill & other men began a forced march of 65 miles to reach the town before the enemy.
. 1813 April 27, a strong American force raided the town. The British retreated to Kingston & in the next few days the public buildings were looted & the Parliament Buildings were burned. Thus, records that might fill in the details of kinsman's life were lost.
. 1820 Alexander & his son, John, built a tavern on the east side of Yonge St. near Finch Ave. This was a two story frame building & it was called, the Bird in Hand".
. 1827 - A heated disagreement between father & son resulted in the building being cut in half, literally! From top to bottom & front to back, the building was sawed in half & John retained the southern half as an inn. The argument father & son had may have been political. Initially Alexander belonged to the old guard conservative faction &, John Montgomery became associated with the liberal left wing of the day. Later the 2 reconciled their differences but another son, Alexander III, split with the family over these disputes.

After marriage in 1904, Alexander and his wife moved to Thessalon.
The first two children were born in Gore Bay, but perhaps Rebecca came home for the births (all the North Channel steamers were in operation).
Aletha, the 3rd child, was born in Thessalon.

It is thought that the move to Thessalon may have been for business reasons; presumably there were other tailors in Gore Bay and fewer in Thessalon, a newer town (founded 1890).

. Extract from the Biography of son John Willson Osborn, by son-in-law S. B. Gookins:
John Willson Osborn was the second son of Capt. Samuel OSBORN, a gallant & accomplished officer in the British navy. His grandfather & eldest brother, Capt. William OSBORN, were also both officers in the service of his majesty the king of England.

* Also his maternal grandfather, for whom he was named, held a captain's commission & was an intimate friend of Gen. BROCK* acted as commissary general, etc., & filled many places of trust.
Note3: * John Willson, Esq., UE was a friend of Lieut. Gov. John Graves Simcoe during the the American Revolution.

. William OSBORN, the eldest son of Capt. Samuel OSBORN Jr., was promoted to a captaincy very young for bravery during several sharp engagements at sea. Thus by the divine right of inheritance & early associations Mr. John W. OSBORN was fitted for the struggles & difficulties of pioneer life which need a brave heart, untiring devotion, progressive & aggressive, to the principles of right.

* Mr. OSBORN's mother was Alice WILSON, the daughter of John WILSON & Rebecca THIXTON, his wife. She was born on Staten Island. She was educated in New York, where the family lived always a part of each year, her father being an officer in the British army, loyal to his king. They left the United States & made a new home in Canada, living sometimes at Halifax, Quebec, Montreal, Canancoqua*, & finally settling down at Toronto, buying land & laying, as they supposed, a permanent foundation for a home.

Note4: * Canacoqua, is now Kingston, Ontario.

Leonard, who acted as a Major in the British Services & is now a prisoner of war to the Unites states, was sent over to New York sometime ago by order of Brigd. Gen. Forman, & has lately returned to this State. She complains of indisposition & requests that she may be permitted to tarry in Monmouth Co. until she be reinstated in her health, & that she be suffered to pass to Easton, to see her husband, & from thence to return to the said County there to abide.
Agreed, that Mrs. Leonard be permitted to pass to Easton, or to any other place in which her Husband may be fixed; & to remain with him; & that she go thither without delay.

. 1795 Feb 23 - WILL of her father, William Lawrence, left Alice £30 & 3 silver spoons.

Extracted: Brigadier Gen. David Forman of Monmouth Co., Committee of Retaliation, was one of the most notorious offenders ... lack of civil means for citizens to seek redress.:

. 1777 Oct 7, WORTHY PATRIOTS ... Foreman had an arbitrary manner presumed to banish some women out of this state into the enemy's lines. This induced me to lay before the Gov. & Council of Safety, on 28 Aug., 1777 a Remonstrance on information of the arbitrary stretch of power by Davie Foreman & others. That my daughter Mary Leonard, the wife of Thomas Leonard then & yet a prisoner & by permission of our Chief Justice go leave to lay her complaint before the Governor & Council. Where I attended with her last Saturday, to my great astonishment to hear arguments that I never suspected to come from the mouths of Freeman much less from those who are chosen Guardians of our Freedom to defend Freeman under his pretense of Martial Law. Gen. G. Washington wrote a letter urging New Jersey to pass a law limiting the militia & troops from blundering & abusing civilians.

. 1786, Oct. 30. Thomas Leonard married Alice Lawrence, 1st Reformed Church, Freehold.
Note: Marriage in the Reformed Church must have met with displeasure from Alice Lawrence's Quaker Friends. PJA 2011.
