  • Notes 
    • 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]
