    3. Ontario Locator shows 2 Black Rivers in Ontario. One is in South Marysburgh Twp., Prince Edward Co., The other is in Cornwall Twp., Stormont Co. There is also a Black River - Matheson which is in the Cochrane District of Ontario. I find Ontario Locator a most useful site. It can be found by just googling "Ontario Locator". Good Luck!

    3. Hello Joyce and all: I have a feeling, from the various families I've found who were receiving that pension here in Ontario, that the US authorities of the day didn't put up a pension offer until just about that time. Much like our own government didn't put up a pension or bounty offer to our boys for the Fenian Raids until well into the 1900's - our own Henry Branton was so old by then he likely never saw his land which was located up near Powasson somewhere, and he had a hard time finding the two witnessess he needed to sign his affadavit saying he actually served - they were all dead by then!!! Governments know these things, and that's why they leave it so late - have less to pay out that way!!

    2. It is my understanding that the Simcoe Proclaimation was specifically targeting "disgruntled" Americans (particulalrly in the Northeast states) who were unhappy with the newly established Federal government with an offer of "cheap land" for settlers to Canada who were willing to improve the land they were given.

    3. Hello, It's not exactly the same, but I was just mentioning on another List my ancestor, Ashbel RICE, who fought in the Rev. War in MA. Just after the War, both he and his brother, Jesse RICE, and their wives, moved to what was then "the Northern Territory of Massachusetts." (Maine didn't became a State until 1820.) But, ~1790 they moved over to Nova Scotia, but only stayed 10 yrs. before moving back to "Maine." I can't say why they moved north, but their father's home had been burned down and they weren't happy about what was going on. But, also, the government was trying to get as many people as possible to move to the "Northern Territory." Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) (Ashbel RICE had many children and grandchildren and it's possible at least one of them might have moved to other parts of Canada.) ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2010 12:40 AM Subject: Re: [ONTARIO] How might a Rev War vet have come to liveinNorthumberland Co., ...

    3. Hello Don, I don't see a death registration for her on Ancestry. There is a photo of the tombstone for her, husband William and Joseph in St Thomas Anglican Cemetery in Bracebridge. See this site: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~murrayp/muskoka/bracebri/sthom as/ The stone says she died Oct 22 1890. Her name is given as Patton.

    1. Re: [ONTARIO] How might a Rev War vet have come to live in Northumberland Co., Ontario?

    3. Nancy: We had a couple here at Bowmanville who did the same thing. They married after the RW and came here - she collected his pension as a widow of a Vet. They came because of the free/cheap land and he wanted to "be his own man" and I guess the only way he could do that was to get out from under Papa's thumb - fathers were often known to be very harsh in those days. Her son brought her to NY to make application for the pension. Living across the border didn't seem to matter then - the pension was for "service" during the RW, not for living on US soil.
