3 Page 3 Branches May 2010 Northern July Meeting Set aside July 18th for a very interesting UE experience. Plans have been made to meet at Grey Roots, a comprehensive museum village set-up to tell the story of early history in the Owen Sound/Grey-Bruce area. Yes, that s Owen Sound and it s a chance to include those of our Grand River Branch north of highway 9! The meeting will be as usual... assemble between 2 and 2:30 with the program starting at 2:30. A guest will speak about black history in Owen Sound and the surrounding area; this was an underground railroad terminal, coinciding with the period of Grey-Bruce settlement. With it being further than usual, many may want to make it a weekend. There s lots in the area of historical interest with the Marine and Rail Museum, Billy Bishop Museum, and the interesting monument to escaped slaves in Harrison Park to name a few. And then of course there s Grey Roots, the area s new museum and where our meeting will be held. There is an entrance fee if one wants to go into the various buildings, though not for the meeting hall.

Donald Bates The Log House From Six Nation at the Westfield Pioneer Village One of the highlights of the Native area at Westfield Heritage Village in Rockton, Ontario is the Native Log House. According to the booklet entitled "A Living Village: A Guide to Wentworth Heritage Village, written by Norah Navin Lozicz, the Native House was probably built around It is described as a one-and-a-half storey long house that was typical of those built on the reserve along the Lower Grand River in the early 1800's This home, which was built to shelter a native family, was once the residence of the Hill family from the Six Nations Reserve. The family lived in what today is the Sour Springs Road area. The former site of this historic home is off of Second Line, also known as Sour Springs Road, between Barney's Corner and Jehovah Corner, not far from the intersection of Mohawk Road and Second Line. Based on information available from the 1911 Census of Canada, we know that members of the Hill family lived on farmland on part of Lot 34, Concession 2, Tuscarora Township. William Hill, probably born in 1875, was listed as the head of the household and he was married to Sophia Hill, whose birth year is listed at William and Sophia's children included Nelles, Melinda, Cynthia, Rena and 1-year-old Welby. This child, Welby Hill, would become the last member of the Hill family to live in this home.
4 Branches May 2010 Page 4 According to information provided by Sherwin Maracle, a long time resident of the Reserve, who knew Welby. Known to many locals as Tessie Buck, Welby worked as a factory worker and Sherwin remembers that because he had some kind of disability, probably polio, and had difficulty walking. Welby, who was unable to climb stairs easily, kept a bed on the main floor of the house near a window. Branches November N200 Sherwin's mother, the late Mary Ella Maracle, (nee Powless) cared for Welby, cooking and cleaning for him and out of gratitude for all the work she had done for him, Welby decided to leave the house to Mary Maracle. On October 29, 1969, according to the minutes of a meeting held by the Westfield Pioneer Village Committee, it was reported that an Indian Log House was available for sale on the Reserve. At that meeting, members of the committee decided to purchase the home from Sherwin Maracle. Acting on behalf of his mother, Sherwin sold the house to Westfield. If you have any information about the 41 sites of the Westfield Village please send your information to Ms. Jennifer Enright, Researcher.

Tracing the events and records of the time frame enables one to comprehend the lives lived by early ancestral Loyalists.

5 Page Branches May 2010 On an early drizzly morning, September 13, 1759, Major General James Wolfe, with his 3,250 men scaled the cliffs at Anse-au-Foulon, to take Quebec before winter and met French Commander, Louis- Joseph de Montcalm-Gozon Marquis de Saint-Veran on the Plains of Abraham. The battle was over in 10 minutes. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Both generals were mortally wounded during the battle; Wolfe died on the field within minutes of engagement and Montcalm died the next morning. Upon his death, General Wolfe thanked God for the British victory. The end of this battle and the death of these two generals changed the face of New France. Branches May Maps of Canada The History of Quebec
6 Branches May 2010 Page On May 2, 1774, British Royal assent was given to the passing of the Quebec Act. Sir Guy Carleton, First Baron of Dorchester ( ) was Governor of Quebec, divided the province into two vast districts, Quebec and Lancaster (modern Ontario). The boundaries of Quebec were extended to the Ohio and Mississippi River and north to Hudson Bay. The colony of Quebec was governed by the Governor and council, but there was no elected assembly. Advisors on the council represented both the French and English people. Crimes were tried by British Law and Civil cases were tried by French Law. New France as it had existed, disappeared. With the end of the eight years known as the American Revolution, some 5000 Loyalists came to settle in Upper Canada. They arrived in Upper Canada from the New England states and the western part of New York and Pennsylvania. The evacuation of the Loyalists from the port of New York along the Atlantic sea coast to the present day Maritimes was conducted by Sir Guy Carleton. Some Loyalists took canoes, some came on horseback, in carts or walked to Upper Canada (Ontario) or Lower Canada (Quebec). Families belonging to the same regiments most often took up land in the same district. Guy Carleton was born to a Protestant military family that had lived in Ireland since the 17th century, and was one of four brothers that served in the British military. In 1742, at the age of 17, he was commissioned as an Ensign in the 25th Regiment of Foot and in which in 1745 he was made a Lieutenant and became a friend of James Wolfe. On July 9, 1796 Carleton sailed from Canada to Britain never to return. On November 10, 1808, he died suddenly at Stubbings, Berkshire. He was buried in the parish church of St Swithun's. The Division of the District of Lancaster (Ontario) Into Four July 1786 The term "District" was used from the beginning of the British rule in Canada to denote the subdivision of an organized or partially organized county. Districts were created for judicial purposes. During the second term of Governor Carleton's term, Lancaster was divided into four districts. Branches May ) Lunenberg, (Upper District) extended from the Ottawa River to the Gananoque River, north to the wilderness, which was not yet surveyed. In 1791, Simcoe changed Lunenberg to the Eastern District. 2) Meeklenberg District - continued west from Gananoque River to the Trent River. 3) Nassau District stretched from York (Toronto) to Long Point on Lake Erie. In 1791, Simcoe changed Nassau to House District. 4) Hesse District ran from Long Point to Lake St. Clair. In 1791 Simcoe changed Hesse to the Western District.
7 Page Branches May 2010 These district were named to honour the German Hanoverian connection of King George III ( ), King of England ( ). Courts of Quarter Session ( ) Courts of Quarter Session tried criminal cases, and saw to the construction of roads and bridges in the District and County System. Courts and goals (jails) were to be erected; assessments paid the wages of the House of Assembly; street and highway surveyors were appointed; weights and measures were inspected; ferries regulated; liquor licences were granted. Judges, Justices of the Peace, Sheriffs, coroner's clerks were appointed. In the records of the Courts of Quarter Session appear the names of Loyalists, as well as other pioneers. Constitutional Act or Canada Act 1791 The Constitutional Act of 1791 gave the Quebec District the name of Lower Canada and the Lancaster District the name of Upper Canada. The Ottawa River, almost to its mouth, served as the dividing boundary between Upper and Lower Canada. A small region around Montreal was left as part of Lower Canada because of its French system of land holdings. On June 10, 1790, what is known as the Constitutional Act was passed and went into effect on December 26, There were approximately 100,000 French and 10,000 English in Lower Canada; about 10,000 English and a few French traders and trappers then living in Upper Canada. John Graves Simcoe the Developer of Upper Canada John Graves Simcoe ( ) First Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, served as Major of the Queen's Rangers ( ) was an early developer in organizing Upper Canada (Ontario) for Loyalists and pioneers. Upon his arrival in Canada in July 1792, Simcoe organized the first parliamentary session in the Village of Newark (Niagara-on-the-Lake). The 16 members walked, canoed or rode on horse-back to this first parliament, a rude log building known as "Navy Hall". Government House, the abode of the Simcoe family was nothing more than a tent. In the following four weeks, the first session, eight acts were passed dealing with the governance of Upper Canada. The Loyalists wanted English Civil Law, Trial by Jury, English method of land holding, in which they could sell or rent their land.

9 Page 9 Branches Nov 2009 Townships, Districts and Counties In 1792, Simcoe named the first 19 counties, which were a union of townships, in order to have political representation in the Legislative Assembly set up under the Constitutions Act. By 1798, 19 counties increased to 24 and 4 districts increased to 8. The maps on page 7 show this progress. Counties were formed from townships. There was no county self-government until after a special legislation of Memorial to John Graves Simcoe One of the most touching memorial tablets to Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe is located in Exeter Cathedral in England and reads: "In whose life and character the virtues of the hero, the patriot and the Christian were so eminently conspicuous that it may be said: he served his King and county with a real zeal only exceeded by his piety towards God". From the tunnel of despair and hardships for the Loyalists arose the spirit and dedication of the British military to aid through records, to trace the footsteps of Loyalists and pioneers.
