    • In 1796, when John Jr and Hannah entered Ontario from Nova Scotia (per the old UEL list), they were married and had two children. He first applied for land on 8 Jun 1796 stating that he was from Nova Scotia. Hannah and her husband removed to Lincoln Co, Ontario about 31 Mar 1797.
      "John was a farmer and possibly a brick maker as there was a brick kiln on his property in Glendale (now part of the city of London, Ontario). John was in the 1st Regt., 1st Company Flank, of Norfolk County Militia, commanded by Lt. Col. G. Ryerson during the war of 1812-1814. 'History of the County of Middlesex' states that there were only 2 other settlers near John & Hannah when they moved to Westminster TWP, Middlesex Co, Ontario and cleared their land by dent of hard work. John became noted throughout his neighborhood as a hard working man and one whose word was as good as his bond. He was a member of the Methodist Church, being also a local preacher in the same and he lived to be 77 years of age."
      "They both belonged to the Methodist Episcopal Church and are probably buried in the Brick Street Cemetery beside this church on Commissioners Road, London, Ontario."
      Hannah and John first lived in Pelham TWP, Lincoln Co, Ontario, and adjoining their lots were Hannah's sisters, Phoebe (Mrs. George Mayne) and Sarah Ann (Mrs. James Smith). The sisters had several children christened on Christmas Eve, 1799 at Niagara (Newark) Outhouse Gen lists year as 1790.
