"Samuel and Benjamin Boyer were of Pennsylvania descent. Samuel settled on Lot 12, Con. 7, in the early forties. He was famous as a woodsman and especially as a hunter of wild bees. His son, Abraham Boyer, was accidentally killed in the mill on Jan. 28th, 1904. Another son, Jonas, lives in Stouffville, and his daughter (Mrs. John Miller). Benjamin Boyer, brother of Samuel, lived in Whitchurch. His son, David Boyer, with his family, settled on Lots 13 and 14, Con. 7, about 1845. Soon after a carding mill was built, which did good service for many years, being later sold to Cornelius J. Wilson. David's son, Joseph, of Detroit, is widely known as a successful inventor and manufacturer. Two daughters and one son (Mrs. James Madill, Mrs. Mackay and Mr. Ira Boyer), still live in Claremont." [3]
