His birth year is based on his petitioning to purchase land in 1774, which he would have to have been 21 years of age to do, and this year fits with the chronology of the births of his siblings. DNA indicates he was probably the son of John Curtis and Margaret Davis (who was married first to John's brother James). He was married (firstly) circa 1784 to Vallonia (?), who died circa 1793, in Onondaga County, New York. He was married (secondly) circa 1795, to Lucy Cheney, the widow of Benjamin Cummings. Thomas had one child which is unaccounted for: Thankful Curtis: born circa 1792, in Onondaga County, New York. She is listed in the 1817 and 1818 Censuses for Ontario as living in Percy Township, the Newcastle District, which became Northumberland County. As yet nothing further has been located on her.

Note: As a local historian, it seems that this FindaGrave record is taking the concept of FindaGrave way out too far. There would be no graves known for people who died in 1809 - way to early for that. The largest cemetery in the area is the Warkworth Cemetery which began many decades later. Also, there is disagreement re parents of this Thomas Curtis. This is one example but more can be seen on Ancestry.ca. (Dan Buchanan)

Jeremiah Scripture was born on 14 July 1772 at Tyringham, Berkshire Co., Massachusetts, U.S.A; From Rozanne Munns' GEDCOM. He immigrated in 1793 to Cramahe Twp., Northumberland Co., Upper Canada; "In 1793 Jeremiah left Tyringham, Massachusetts, joining his sister Olive, her husband Joseph Keeler and 38 other settlers, heading for the Cramahe area of Ontario,Canada." From Rozanne Munns' GEDCOM. He lived on 17 June 1797 at Conc 1 Lot 6 & 9, Cramahe Twp., Northumberland Co., Upper Canada; "Jeremiah Scripture; Lot 6 & 9, 1st Concession" on list of "Original Settlers of Cramahe" as taken from reports of Asa Danforth and Aaron Greeley, Agents, June 17, 1797 (Contributed by Linda Herman to the Northumberland Co. GebWeb web site, copied Aug 21, 2004.) He married Submit Curtis, daughter of Thomas Curtis and Valonia Nelson, in 1803 at Upper Canada; "He was married circa 1804, in Ontario, to Submit Curtis (born on November 13, 1785, in Onondaga County, New York, died in January or February 1858, in Cramahe Township, Northumberland County, Ontario, Canada), the daughter of Thomas Curtis and Vallonia? Jeremiah and Submit were the parents of eight known children." from FindaGrave.
From Rozanne Munns' GEDCOM.1 Jeremiah Scripture appeared on the census of 1804 at Cramahe Twp., Northubmerland Co., Upper Canada; 1804 Census: Jeremiah Scripture; 1 male over 16; 1 female over 16; 1 female under 16. He appeared on the census of 1805 at Cramahe Twp., Northubmerland Co., Upper Canada; 1805 Census: Jeremiah Scripture; 1 male over 16; 1 female over 16; 1 female under 16. He lived between 1806 and 1811 at Alford, Berkshire Co., Massachusetts, U.S.A; "Jeremiah returned to Alford, Massachusetts, by rowboat, when his mother died in 1806. He lived in Massachusetts from 1806-1811, before returning to Canada." per FindaGrave.1 He lived in 1808 at Land where Brighton would be, Northumberland Co., Upper Canada; "The Tobey Book, pg. 47, shows "We have now recorded eight families whose land was offically registered. They are" Obediah Simpson, 1796; Jeremiah Scripture 1808; James Richardson, 1809; Henry Nix, 1811; Josiah Proctor, 1814; John Singleton, 1815; T. D. Sandford, 1817; and James Lyons, 1817. Undoubtedly there were a few who were squatters living on land marked by themselves and not by a surveyor. Therefore these people are not mentioned in the Ontario Registry."
Note: An example of "squatters" would be Alexander Chisholm who built mills on the creek where Spring Valley is now. He came in expecting to get the Crown Reserve granted to him but his wife Nancy and step-son John Singleton did not own the land until the 1820's.

He was married circa 1804, in Ontario, to Submit Curtis (born on November 13, 1785, in Onondaga County, New York, died in January or February 1858, in Cramahe Township, Northumberland County, Ontario, Canada), the daughter of Thomas Curtis and Vallonia? Jeremiah and Submit were the parents of eight known children. In 1793 Jeremiah left Tyringham, Massachusetts, joining his sister Olive, her husband Joseph Keeler, and 38 other settlers, heading for the Cramahe area of Ontario, Canada. They traveled by boat across Lake Champlain and down the Richelieu River to the St. Lawrence River at present day Sorel, Quebec, Canada, and then up the St. Lawrence River into Lake Ontario. The settlers traveled Lake Ontario westward and then north across it until landing on it's banks at a point, which is now the borderline of Cramahe and Haldimand Townships in present day Northumberland County. All this area was a thick wood in 1793. Jeremiah's nearest neighbor, other than Indians, lived about five miles north of Cobourg (about 15 miles west of him). Cobourg at that time was a large cedar swamp. He received a land grant from King George III of England, on a sheepskin; last known (1973) to be in the possession of his great-great-grandson Robert Brock Scripture. Jeremiah returned to Alford, Massachusetts, by rowboat, when his mother died in 1806. He lived in Massachusetts from 1806-1811, before returning to Canada. He owned a 333 1/3 acres farm, located on the border of Cramahe and Haldimand Townships, just north of where he and the other original settlers first landed in 1793. Here he built a one and a half story frame home. There exist five land petition references to his early ownerships in Cramahe Township from 1797 to 1832. Jeremiah is listed in the 1804, 1805 (Cramahe Township), 1806, 1813, 1815, 1816, 1817, 1818, 1819, 1820, 1821, 1822, 1823, 1824, 1825, 1826, 1827, 1828, 1829, 1830, 1831, 1832, 1833 and 1836 (Haldimand Township) Censuses for Ontario as living in Newcastle District (Northumberland County). Jeremiah was a member of the Grand Jury during the general quarter session held October 12, 1802; to discuss the peace held at Murray in the Newcastle District. On June 15, 1826 he was commissioned and promoted from Lieutenant to Captain, commanding Company 8, in the 1st Northumberland Militia Regiment. Jeremiah was first buried in a Methodist Church cemetery, but was disinterred a few years later and reburied in a new graveyard located a short distance east of his farm on part of his property, in Cramahe Township in Northumberland County. The Canadian county designations are now changed, and I have no idea where Find-A-Grave gets "Sweets Corner" from. As is very visible in my top photo the name of the cemetery is "UNION." Jeremiah's original headstone was in the possession of a descendant until the early 1970's when it was placed next to his newer stone; Source: Allan Wenzel, Feb 22 2013.

They traveled by boat across Lake Champlain and down the Richelieu River to the St. Lawrence River at present day Sorel, Quebec, Canada, and then up the St. Lawrence River into Lake Ontario. The settlers traveled Lake Ontario westward and then north across it until landing on it's banks at a point, which is now the borderline of Cramahe and Haldimand Townships in present day Northumberland County. All this area was a thick wood in 1793. Jeremiah's nearest neighbor, other than Indians, lived about five miles north of Cobourg (about 15 miles west of him). Cobourg at that time was a large cedar swamp. He received a land grant from King George III of England, on a sheepskin; last known (1973) to be in the possession of his great-great-grandson Robert Brock Scripture. Jeremiah returned to Alford, Massachusetts, by rowboat, when his mother died in 1806. He lived in Massachusetts from 1806-1811, before returning to Canada. He owned a 333 1/3 acres farm, located on the border of Cramahe and Haldimand Townships, just north of where he and the other original settlers first landed in 1793. Here he built a one and a half story frame home. There exist five land petition references to his early ownerships in Cramahe Township from 1797 to 1832. Jeremiah is listed in the 1804, 1805 (Cramahe Township), 1806, 1813, 1815, 1816, 1817, 1818, 1819, 1820, 1821, 1822, 1823, 1824, 1825, 1826, 1827, 1828, 1829, 1830, 1831, 1832, 1833 and 1836 (Haldimand Township) Censuses for Ontario as living in Newcastle District (Northumberland County). Jeremiah was a member of the Grand Jury during the general quarter session held October 12, 1802; to discuss the peace held at Murray in the Newcastle District. On June 15, 1826 he was commissioned and promoted from Lieutenant to Captain, commanding Company 8, in the 1st Northumberland Militia Regiment. Jeremiah was first buried in a Methodist Church cemetery, but was disinterred a few years later and reburied in a new graveyard located a short distance east of his farm on part of his property, in Cramahe Township in Northumberland County. The Canadian county designations are now changed, and I have no idea where Find-A-Grave gets "Sweets Corner" from. As is very visible in my top photo the name of the cemetery is "UNION." Jeremiah's original headstone was in the possession of a descendant until the early 1970's when it was placed next to his newer stone; Source: Allan Wenzel, Feb 22 2013.
