Jeremiah and Submit were the parents of eight known children." from FindaGrave.

  • Death*: 1 October 1836; Cramahe Twp., Northumberland Co., Upper Canada; From Rozanne Munns' GEDCOM.
  • Burial*: 3 October 1836; Union Cemetery, Colborne, Northumberland Co., Upper Canada; FindaGrave: Name: Jeremiah Scripture; BIRTH: 14 Jul 1773, Tyringham, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, USA; DEATH: 1 Oct 1836 (aged 63), Haldimand Twp., Northumberland County, Ontario, Canada; BURIAL: Colborne Union Cemetery, Colborne, Northumberland County, Ontario, Canada; MEMORIAL ID: 105666309; Note: Jeremiah died in Haldimand Township, and was the son of Jeremiah Scripture and Abigail Brigham. 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.

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.
