Hi, Fellow Listers. Long time no talk. I'm hoping that one of you might be able to tell me why my 3xggrandpa, Roger Merrill, would have gone to live in Percy Twp., Northumberland Co., Ontario. He got a pension from the Rev. War, filed the application in Onandaga Co., NY in about 1844? But he was living in Percy Twp. on 2nd and 3rd concession lots from 1797 onward. I'm trying to reconstruct old PAF files, and have the copy of the original RW pension app, as well as tax info and etc. on Roger and family. What I DON'T have is the why. I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks! Nancy Merrill Sayed

My Patriot came to Canada after the War to be with his Secord cousins and remained in Ontario until his death. Don't forget Laura Secord's Patriot father came to Canada when he became disillusioned with American politics after the Revolution ended. Suggest you check DAR records for Merrill. If listed, for a small fee they will look through his family tree for you and send what they find. It would be interesting to learn why he waited so long to apply for his pension. It might have been he had a young wife and would have liked to leave something for her after his death. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Monday, May 03, 2010 9:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ONTARIO] How might a Rev War vet have come to live in Northumberland Co., Ontario?

Probably cheap land. My ancestor from Connecticut served in the war on the Rev side; he later moved to the frontier of New York state and then moved to Hastings County for the cheap land. It wasn't much good, so he ended up moving to York County, fought on the British side in the war of 1812 and finally moved to Michigan with his son who fled Canada after joining the wrong side in the 1837 Rebellion. There's a monument to him in Michigan put up by the DAR.

Wow! Sounds like he led a busy life. Cheap land would probably do it. Roger Merrill came from a family with a lot of kids in West Hartford, CT, and don't know what the laws of inheritance were, but I'm guessing he didn't come first on the list when it came to land and/or money in the will--probably had to go out and do what he could to make a living. OUr family did the New England, Canada, Michigan thing as well. Wonder what it was about Michigan that drew people there? Probably more cheap land:-) Thanks!
