David Dulmage biography Article by Greg Piasetzki

"I obtained a copy of a Dulmage family bible, from Dulmage descendants in Colorado. The bible was published in 1809, but the family data was added at an unknown later date (possibly the 1840’s). The bible records David and Mary’s daughters, Elizabeth and Mary, and son, Jacob, as having been born in the United States. Jacob’s birth date is given as 1775, and this date appears in some secondary sources such as Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte (published 1905)."

"However, records I located in the Ontario Archives, suggest an earlier date. In 1818, in connection with a petition to formalize the title to the land he had received some 30 years earlier as a military claimant, Jacob filed an affidavit and his military discharge papers. His discharge papers say that he was discharged from a Loyalist unit, Jessup’s Rangers, in December of 1783 at age 14 (having served for 6 months). If this is correct, he must have been born about 1769 rather than 1775. "
