[Notes] for Nathaniel Haskell

Personal Notes:

Nathaniel's will dated 7th May, 1805, mentions all 8 children (Joseph, William Dinsmore, Lucy, Polly, Nabby (the wife of Christopher Hagerman), Timothy Henry Curtis, and Josiah) it states that he lives on and owns Lot 16 of Concession 1; Hope Township. It also names his wife "Nabby" familiar for "Abigail".

Daughters, Polly and Lucy were probably not married at this time as no husbands are mentioned and they are given as Haskill's.

(There are several differently dated marriage collections naming the pair, including "The Intention to Marry" which almost always was earlier than the actual date)

When the Port Hope Guide newspaper interviewed Myndert Harris Jr., then 84-years-old, in February of 1870, he recounted sailing on a government gunboat across Lake Ontario with his parents when he was an excited boy in 1793.

The lake winds filled the sails for two or three days to blow them all the way around the lake from Niagara to the Township of Hope. Myndert remembered the exact date – June 8, 1793 – because that sailing ship brought the first families of settlers to Port Hope. He was one of them.

On Saturday, Feb. 25, Port Hope Public Library is hosting Family Heritage Day from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Several old families who have been in Northumberland County since before we were called Canada are bringing their families’ historical documents and artifacts for one day only.

The Harris family (Myndert’s descendants) will be there with a family display. The Haskill, Marvin, Hawkins, Bickle, Burnham, Peacock and Sculthorpe families will also be bringing family documents like land deeds and early photos. Their displays of artifacts will include early farm implements and a 100 year old cradle made from a local tree. Port Hope and Hope Township archival documents will show what it was like to live here in the 1800s.

Sanford Haskill had this idea to kick off Port Hope’s celebrations of Canada’s 150th anniversary (not birthday) through the eyes of families that have lived in Hope Township area for 150 years or more. Sanford was a descendant of Nathaniel Haskill who was with the first settlers. The family farm on “the mighty Lakeshore Road” has been owned by a Haskill for 200 years straight. With Sanford’s sudden passing recently, the Port Hope Library is following through with the Family Heritage Day event in his honour.

The five families of June 1793 – Harris, Stevens, Johnson, Ashford and Haskill – were the first group of settler families to arrive on the north shore of Lake Ontario all the way between Quinte and Burlington. Two whole months before Toronto.

When that first boatload unloaded their children and axes, they pitched temporary tents at the edge of the forest at the mouth of the Ganaraska, across the river from the village that was already there. The village of about thirty wigwams of Anishinaabe families (about 200 Mississauga Ojibwas people) was on the west side of the river. The single log cabin of a fur trader who lived amongst them stood about where the Port Hope Town Hall now stands.

The families who live at Alderville First Nation, near Roseneath, are descendants of the same Mississauga Ojibwas families who were living in Northumberland and Quinte the day the settlers arrived. Their families have been living in this area for at least 400 years.

Want to see a copy of the 1870 Port Hope Guide newspaper article? Drop by library on Queen Street Feb. 25, across the road from where the old fur trader’s cabin used to be.

Obituary

Died: Last Saturday morning, Daniel Haskill, an old pioneer, died. He was one of Iowa's early settlers, having come here in 1852 and entered land from the government in Tama county.

SHE FELL ASLEEP - 1898

Mrs. Timothy C. Haskill in Her 107th year. Story of Her Life - Many Changes

https://www.ontariogenealogy.com/Durham/haskill.html

____________________________________________________

When once our heavenly-guided soul shall climb,

Then all this earthly grossness quit,

Attired with stars we shall forever sit

Triumphing o’er Death, and Chance, and thee,

O Time!

Submissive to an enduring though all devouring time, Mrs. Timothy C. Haskill, in the 107th year of her age, has passed away. Her departure was as a peaceful sleep, which wafted her soul from earth “unto a high estate beside the Kingdom of Heaven.” Death came about two o’clock this morning, as the aged lady slumbered at her quiet residence on Charles Street. Her only daughter, Mrs. Doney, who has for many years devoted a watchful and self-sacrificing care over her mother, was present, and Mrs. Thos. Garnet, Mrs. Chas. Throop, Mrs. Jas. Austin, and Miss Johnston.

Almost to the time of her sleeping, Mrs. Haskill enjoyed a possession of senses remarkable for her years, and conversed intelligibly wit those at her bedside. The neighbours loved her, for she was very interesting with all her experiences of long past years when the country was still in embryo.

Below we give the story of Mrs. Haskill’s life as told by herself seven years ago. Friday evening, January 1st, 1892, an interesting event took place at the quiet little cottage on Charles Street. Many callers came to offer their congratulations to Mrs. Haskill upon her 100th birthday. At 4:30 p.m. a party began to congregate at Mr. Throop’s store, supplied with material for a surprise festival. On the arrival of the party at Mrs. Haskill’s house and after the introductions, salutations and hand shaking, a neatly engrossed address was read by Mr. Alf. Skitch and a purse and contents presented the centenarian. In reply Mrs. Haskill thanked everyone for their kindness and repeated verses welcoming the New Year. She had a phenomenal memory and her delight was the recitation of hymns and fanciful verses. Mr. E. A. Powers further responded on behalf of Mrs. Haskill. After short speeches by the late Mr. Jos. Harris, Messrs. T.R. McNeillie, Cyrus T. Throop, J.T. George, Jed Haskill and Jos. Hooper, Mrs. Haskill gave the following story of her life, which was committed to paper by Mr. Hooper:

“My maiden name was Electa Newcombe Johnson. I was born in Dorset, Vermont, U.S., Jan. 1st, 1792. Dorset was divided into three parts - east, west and south - there is a stream of water running through the place, on which my father had a saw and gristmill. I well recollect a circumstance which occurred when I was in my fifth year. A young lad came over to our mill with a grist and while waiting for it to be ground, went out on the pond on some boards and drowned. His name was Stephen Moss. Pember Warner, an old resident of this section, who married Parmelia Soper, lived at Dorset near by us, and when children, we played together. (Parmelia Soper was the first white girl born in this township). I lived 49 years on our farm (two miles from here) and 40 years in this town. We came to “Smith’s Creek,” now called Port Hope, in March 1803, being then between eleven and twelve years of age. I well remember the year 1800; we lived near Johnsburg, N.Y.; was then in my ninth year. We had a dance at our house, at which an old veteran of the 1776 War of Independence played the fife for the dance. One of the party fired his pistol up the chimney, bringing down the soot. We came by sleighs, touching at Wolfe Island, thence to Kingston and Belleville, where we spent one winter; thence to Port Hope. There were five families living here at that time - Mr. Heywood’s, Mr. Ward’s, sr., Mr. Peter Smith’s, Mr. Myndert Harris’ and our family. At a party given on Christmas Eve, we numbered seven, all the then available white inhabitants of this place. There was one house up on the hill and Indian wigwams lined the banks. There was then in this neighbourhood wolves, bears, deer and fish in great abundance. Have seen Indian war dances, and by compulsion have danced with the squaws in their dances, to a chant somewhat like this - cui, ouing, cuway, &c., &c., (imitating the weird dance music of the aborigines of that time). The Indians sold us clothes of deerskin, which we made over for our own use. The first meetinghouse I went to was St. Mark’s, over sixty years ago; Bishop Stewart was the preacher. That which is now Augusta Street was the first road through the village. My father was eighty-seven years old when he died. We went onto our farm in 1819 (near Mr. Moore Fanning’s farm). My children were two sons and one daughter; one son died recently at Mariposa; Harvey, my only living son, is in Michigan, U.S., and is seventy-one years of age; my daughter, widow of the late John Doney, lives with me, and is sixty-seven years of age. My husband, Timothy C. Haskill, died Nov. 24th, 1867, aged eighty years; he was four years my senior and was the best of husbands. I helped him to clear the farm, cutting down trees, rolling the logs into heaps and gathering brush to help burn them. We had a very primitive shanty to live in at first. Have cooked as many as eighty pies in one day, to have them all cleared by visitors before night. Our house was open to all travellers, and we had constant callers. A man who had been a soldier took sick with us; we nursed and cared for him for six years, and buried him all at our own expense. I nursed Mrs. John Tucker Williams when she was a baby; she was born in 1807, and was the mother of Col. Arthur Williams. I was then seventeen years of age. After Mrs. Williams’ death, I was presented with a pincushion made from her dress as a memento.”

“To record all Mrs. Haskill’s experience (so intensely interesting) would occupy considerable space. Her hearing is good and memory clear; the vision very much impaired, but not entirely gone. We were shown a number of her old relics of bygone days, among them the yearly almanacs, dating back to 1818; a quilt and needle seventy-one years old; a spread made of flax grown and spun by herself; the old grandfather’s clock brought from England; and other rarities very numerous. She still does considerable knitting of the very best order; is a good conversationalist, and has implicit faith and trust in God, who has so wonderfully lengthened out her days, with a belief that she will inherit the rest His loving hands have prepared for His saints.”

Mrs. Haskill, in answer to questions asked, stated as follows:

“I never experienced much trouble in my life; sunshine and sorrow were all the same to me; I never worried myself over reverses, nor rejoiced exuberantly over successes. My partner was strictly temperate in all his habits and was one of the best of husbands. I worked hard all my life and am still working, doing all I can at knitting, etc. Was always of a contented mind, thoroughly realizing that “Godliness with contentment is a great gain.”

The years of Mrs. Haskill’s life have seen many changes in the world. We have her statement from which we can draw conclusions as to the conditions of Canada. Four sovereigns have occupied the throne of England; George III., George IV., William IV., and lastly Victoria. The first Parliament of Upper Canada met at Newark in 1792, and responsible government has shed its beneficent influence over the provinces. The War of 1812, the rebellion in Lower Canada and the “Patriots” war of 1837-1838, Red River Rebellion of 1869, the Northwest Rebellion of 1885, came with their trials upon a young people. Railways and steamship lines; electric telegraph and telephone have been introduced and advances in science and literature have marked the growth of civilization, until to day Canada holds no mean place in the world. Port Hope has shared also in time with the onward march of ages and what had once been but the pathless forest, with wild beasts and dusky aborigines as its only apparent recommendations, is now the “Prettiest Town in Canada.”

More Interesting Facts

The following contribution, written in May 1st, 1898, for the press, by Mr. Joseph Hooper, deals more largely with the American family history of Port Hope’s deceased centenarian, Mrs. Timothy C. Haskill, and will be interesting. Some concern is manifested in her life by the inhabitants of Dorset, Vermont, where she was born:

“The subject of this sketch, Mrs. Timothy C. Haskill, a resident of Port Hope, Ont., was born in Dorset, Vermont, U.S., on January 1st, 1792 - is now in the 107th year of her age, and (with the exception of sight, which has of late become impaired) has full possession of her faculties, with a marvellous memory of events of the past. Her maiden name was Electa Newcombe Johnson, a daughter of Timothy Johnson, who fought under Washington in the War for Independence. Timothy Johnson was born in Vermont in 1750, and died at Port Hope, Ont., September 25th, 1840, in the 90th year of his age. He was buried in the quiet little Presbyterian kirkyard of that town. A humble slab of grey marble marks the last resting-place of this Revolutionary hero. He received a yearly pension in recognition of his services from the United States government up to the time of his death. His daughter, Mrs. Timothy C. Haskill, relates many interesting incidents of her father’s experience. The last pension he drew was in June 1840, when she accompanied him to Buffalo for that purpose. She has a very vivid and clear recollection of a party given at the home of her parents, to celebrate the close of the last century. A dance was given and the music furnished by an old Revolutionary Army fifer, - one of the guests firing a pistol up the old log chimney, brought down a cloud of dust and soot on himself, producing quite a ludicrous spectacle. Mrs. Haskill’s mother’s maiden name was Chloe Bennett, who died at 92 years of age. Mrs. Haskill’s grandfather was born in England, her father in Vermont. To relate the many interesting incidents given from a prolific and retentive memory would fill many pages. It was with pleasurable surprise that the writer listened to lengthy renditions of poetry relative to the exciting historic incidents of Revolutionary times in the United States, given with clearness, precision and dictum, - marvellous for a person in the 107th year of her age. She is thoroughly conversant with the Scriptures and the hymnology of the Methodist church, of which she has been a life long consistent member.”

Port Hope, May 1, 1898

Since writing the above Mrs. Haskill has passed to her rest. Shortly before her death, which came in quiet sleep, she repeated Charles Wesley’s beautiful hymn:

“Jesus, lover of my soul,

Let me to thy bosom fly,

While the nearer waters roll,

While the tempest still is nigh.

Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,

Till the storm of life is past;

Safe into the haven guide,

O receive my soul at last.”

The funeral took place Monday afternoon. The Rev. A.T. Green, an old friend, conducted service at the house and cemetery. The following gentlemen acted as pall bearers, - Sanford Haskill, E. Haskill, Edwin Johnston, Cyrus Throop, Andrew Throop, and Thos. Garnett. The floral decorations were numerous and elegant.

CHAPTER ONE

Timothy and his children

Timothy Johnson was born either August 19, 1752 or August 20, 1753 . His daughter Electa's obituary says that he was born in Vermont and that his father came from England.

Timothy said in a deposition given in August, 1833 contained in the pension records cited in footnote 2 that he was living in Worcester, Mass. When a volunteer company was organized in Southway in Worcester County in the spring of 1775 and he joined the company around the first of April of that year. The company was commanded by Captain Josiah Faye. On the 19th of April, the day of the battles at Lexington and Concord, the company was ordered to proceed to Cambridge.

The original of the Militia Roll for Capt. Faye's company for the "Alarm" of April 19th, 1775 is in the Massachusetts State Archives at Crown Point, south of Boston. The original does not contain Timothy's name.

Timothy also stated in his depositions that when they got to Cambridge, they were attached to a regiment commanded by Col. Jonathan Woods and that the army collected there was commanded by Gen. Artemas Ward until the arrival of General Washington. All this is consistent with Revolutionary War history.

While at Cambridge, General Ward and many of the militia were housed in Harvard's buildings and in the fields surrounding the town.

Timothy stated that he was at the battle of Bunker Hill which took place on June 17, 1775 and remained with the regiment at Cambridge and Dorchester Heights until April 4, 1776 when they were ordered to New York City. Bunker and Breed's hills commanded Boston from the north and Dorchester Heights from the south during the siege which ended when the British withdrew to Halifax on Saint Patrick's day, 1776. The militia marched to New London, Conn. And proceeded by water to New York, arriving April 22, 1776. Two weeks earlier, Col. Webb's 19th Foot (and Nathan Hale) had taken the same route. They stayed there until about the first of August when they were compelled to retreat to Long Island.

They stayed there only a few days engaging in several skirmishes with the enemy and were again ordered to retreat to about 10 miles from New York at some "heights" (probably Harlem Heights) where they stayed for about a month and then were ordered to march to White Plains in Westchester Co.

After about 20 days, they marched to Peekskill. In December of that year, a detachment commanded by General Heath which included Timothy was detailed to go to New Jersey. They went as far as Hackensack and then returned to Peekskill. He stayed there until the regiment was disbanded in January, 1777.

Electa's obituary supports the pension records in identifying Timothy's wife as Chloe. According to a deposition contained in the pension file and made by his wife in 1847 when she made claim to survivor's rights to his pension, Timothy Johnson married Chloe Bennett on May 28, 1776 at Hartford, Vt.

The year is a problem since Timothy should have still be in New York. However, the undisciplined coming and going of militia members had been a serious problem in the Boston campaign, especially during the planting and harvesting periods. It may have also been a problem in New York.

In any event, she stated that the pastor was the Rev. Isaiah Potter of Lebanon, N.H. Lebanon is across the Connecticut River from White River Junction, Vt. and we can establish that a Bennett family lived in this area. The Congregational Church in Lebanon is still active and present day church records indicate that Mrs. Timothy Johnson became a member during Rev. Potter's ministry. He was also the first chaplain at Dartmouth College, just north of Lebanon. His ministry records in a bank vault in Lebanon and may not be accessed.

A few years later, a Timothy Johnson is listed on the payroll of Capt. Joshua Hazen's company of Col. Wood's regiment which marched to Brookfield north and west of Royalton, in October, 1780. Tucker characterizes this roll as "the only record extant of the names of the citizens of Hartford in 1780." Our belief that this is our Timothy rests only on the prominence of the Bennett name in Tucker's history of Hartford. Tucker also says that Timothy marched in Hazen's company on March 9, 1781, in response to an Indian raid at Peachem.

"The Vermont Antiquarian", vol. 1, page 21, also says that Hazen's muster roll was from Hartford, Vt. "Vermont Heads of Families" has one Timothy (in Pomfret} in 1790. Vail notes that this Timothy did not stay long and that his taxes were abated in 1796. The Vermont family had 3 males under 16, consistent with Justin, Cyrus and Zebina, and 2 females, consistent with Chloe and Hannah. It is important to remember, however, that Massachusetts and Connecticut had several Timothy Johnson's as heads of families in 1790 as well.

Assuming that all of these references are to our Timothy, we have him marrying Chloe in Hartford in 1776, leaving the military in 1777 and leaving in the Hartford area for a short period in the early 1790's when, possibly, he moved a bit north to Pomfret and later to Dorset.

We note, incidentally, that Timothy's pension application was returned on Nov. 19, 1833 with objections to be removed before the pension could begin. On November 21, 1833, he collected his first payment of $199.99 with the next annual payment to begin March 6, 1834 at the rate of $66.66 per year.

In Calvin Johnson's biographical essay , he states that Timothy's wife was Electa (!) And that they had the following children: Justin, Cyrus, Bina, Newcamp and Electa. He had his aunts and uncles partially right. Timothy's children were:

Justin, born circa Nov. 1778 Cyrus Zebina (sometimes Sabina), born 1787 Hannah, born 1791 Electa, born 1-1-1792 Silas Newcomb, born circa 1795

As noted at greater length in the paragraphs under Electa's name, the family seems to have been at Dorset, Vermont in the 1790's and, in 1800, the family lived near Johnsburg, New York. Johnsburg is located in the Adirondack Mountains in Northern New York in what is now called Warren County but was then known as Washington County. The 1800 census indicates a family headed by a Timothy Johnson living in or near Johnsburg but no proof exists that this is the same Timothy. Further, a historical marker near the church and cemetery in Johnsburg indicates that the community did not take the name Johnsburg until some 10 - 15 years later. We can't guess how Electa might have known the later name.

Electa recalled a dance at their house at which an old veteran of the Revolutionary War played the fife for the dance. One of the party discharged his pistol up the chimney, bringing down the soot. Might the dance have been a New Year's party?

They came to Port Hope by sleighs, touching at Wolfe Island, thence to Kingston and Belleville where they spent the winter and arrived at Smith's Creek, as Port Hope was then known, in 1803.

Neither Timothy nor Justin appear on the tax rolls for Hope Township for the period 1802 -1809. In 1813, Timothy is listed for the first time . In 1814 and 1815, he is listed as having no land but a few livestock - two horses and later a few cows.

The tax rolls for 1816 indicate that Timothy acquired 30 acres of Lot 15, Concession 4, of which 5 were cultivated. The sale of the land to Timothy doesn't show up on the abstract index until January 15, 1824. A somewhat more detailed history of the land transactions involving Lot 15 is set forth under Justin's history. A Lot is a parcel one mile long and wide enough to contain 200 acres. A Concession is a one-mile wide band of Lots stretching across the county. The roads running along the boundary of a Concession might frequently referred to as "Concession 4" rather than by a name.

A ledger for Elias Smith's store for the period 1825-30 records an entry for Timothy, charging him for carding 9 pounds of wool and for 12 3/4 pounds of coloring.

The abstract index indicates that on May 2, l840, Timothy sold 18 acres in the southeast part of Lot 15 to Silas N. Johnson. However, the index also says that a month later, June 5, Justin purchased back from Timothy 30 of the 36 acres he had previously sold Timothy in 1824.

Evidently, in June of 1840, Timothy, accompanied by Chloe and Electa, went to Buffalo to apply for a pension under the act of 1836.

Timothy died September 25, 1840. Calvin says in the biography previously cited that Timothy died suddenly, that he had gone for a walk after tea and was found dead some time later. We must keep in mind that while Calvin may have had some memory of this event he was not quite six years old at the time.

Electa's obituary says he was buried in the Presbyterian Kirkyard and a Port Hope Guide article published just after Memorial Day, 1899, covers a ceremony of remembrance at the grave.

This church eventually closed; it still stands today and is now a small apartment building. The Kirkyard fell into complete disrepair. At some point, a local history group gathered up the bits and pieces of the gravestones and put them into a small concrete wall at the rear of the lot.

At some point, Timothy's stone was moved from the Kirkyard to the lot in the Welcome Cemetery where Electa and her husband, Timothy Haskill, are buried. As Electa died in 1898 and the stone apparently was in its original resting place in 1899, perhaps Electa's daughter had the stone moved.

Chloe is said to have died at 92 but we don't know when or where. We know that Chloe lived at least until June, 1848, when Electa gave a deposition in connection with Chloe's attempt as a widow to collect Timothy's pension. A deposition given by Zebina in November, 1852 seems to indicate that Chloe was then deceased.

Timothy's story doesn't finally conclude until 1899 when the Commercial Agent for the USA in Port Hope wrote to the Pension Board in June, 1899 inquiring about Timothy's service record. It seems that local "U.E. Loyalists" were claiming that Timothy founght on the British side and that one of Timothy's grand-daughters, certainly Mary Haskill Doney, had responded that she had to take care of Timothy and Chloe's place while they had gone to Buffalo in 1840.

We suspect that someone took offense to the Memorial Day article in the Port Hope Guide but can't imagine who or why.

The Second Generation Justin Johnson

Justin Johnson was born circa November, 1778 and died May 23, 1870. Kristina Hewitt, of St. Catherines, Ontario has established via Nathaniel Haskill's will, that Justin's wife, Lucy was a daughter. Thus, Justin and Electa, brother and sister, married Lucy and Timothy, sister and brother. Lucy was born circa April, 1790, and died Jan. 11, 1865. They are both buried in Canton Cemetery, a few miles north of Port Hope and about two miles east of where they lived. Buried near them are two grand-children - children of John and Lucinda Agar - as well as John Agar's parents, John Sr. and Hannah S. Agar. Justin and Lucy's children were: Lucinda, born December 13, 1815 ; Cyrus, born February 24, 1818 ; Eliza, born Oct 12 or 20, 1820, depending on the source ; Alden, born August 24, 1824 ; Harriet, born July 10, 1829 and Calvin, born June 24, 1834, per his biography, previously cited.

Our first glimpse of Justin is a fascinating one. Listen to this account in the March 25, 1870 issue of the Port Hope Guide under the heading "Reminiscences of the Earliest Settlement of Port Hope."

"It will probably not be uninteresting to mention here a mysterious instance of hallucination which our hero* experienced in 1808, in the presence of Mr. Nicholas Motzler, better known as "Uncle Nick". Mr. Juston Johnson (sic), who is stilling living in the township, was chopping on the Caldwell's arm (sic) on the lake road, now occupied by J. B. Hall, Esq., and was expected to finish his contract by three o'clock in the afternoon by Uncle Nick with whom he was boarding. But while conversing with another man in the presence of young Sculthorpe, near the saw mill, about eleven a.m., Uncle Nick was astonished to see Johnston (sic) cross the beam which spanned the creek where now stands the bridge at the foot of Walton Street, with his axe on his shoulder.

"Losing sight of him when near the distillery of Elias Smith, Jr., a little south of the old log malt house, near where the Royal Hotel is now situated, he sent young Sculthorpe to see why he had come so early, when, to the amazement of all, he was not to be found, nor had he been seem by any of the men. Mr. Johnston (sic) returned at the appointed time, only to share in the general astonishment which the mysterious occurrence had created". * meaning James Sculthorpe, Esq., as a young boy.

On November, 1, 1809, per the abstract index previously cited, Justin bought Lot 15 of Concession 4 from Myndert Harris although the grant from the Crown to Mr. Harris was not registered until June 30, 1810. In 1810, Justin appears on the tax rolls for the first time. The tax rolls indicate that all 200 acres were uncultivated in 1810 and 1811. The 1812 and 1813 rolls report 8 acres under cultivation.

According to Belden's Historical Atlas of Northumberland and Durham Counties, Justin and his father answered a militia call in Port Hope for the war of 1812. Timothy would have been 60; we have no indication that he actually served and we think Belden misread his source and a pledge of allegiance was given instead.

Justin, however, was 34 and we have from Harold Brooking of Traherne, Manitoba, a descendent from Electa, a photo-copy of the muster roll of Captain John Burn's Company of the First Regiment of the Durham Militia indicating that Private Justin Johnson served at least from October 25, 1812 until January 16, 1813, when he was discharged.

The militia in Upper Canada consisted of men between 18 and 45 who were required to turn out for six days each month to drill and there were about 1,800 in total in Upper Canada. It does not appear likely that Justin was ever called upon for actual service as the Battle of Queenston was concluded some time before the dates above.

Mr. Brooking also provided a copy of the petition to the Provisional Lieutenant Governor for land based on Justin's military service. The petition includes a statement from Captain John Burns to the effect that Justin had served faithfully and well. He also certified that Justin had taken the oath of allegiance June 17, 1815.

The petition was read in Council July 17, 1816 and Justin Johnson received a lease of Crown Reserve land located on Lot 16, Concession 4, paying 1 pound, 12 shillings, 6 pence. He now controlled 400 acres of land.

In 1824, Justin sold 36 acres (the southwest corner) of his lot to his father. This land was sold back to Justin in 1840, three months before Timothy died although the sale wasn't registered in 1864.

In 1841, Justin sold the 134 acres north of the Ganaraska River to Peter Milligan for 425 pounds, taking a 170 pound mortgage. March 16, 1843, Justin bought 100 acres, the east half of Lot 22, Concession 4. He continued to hold this land until death, leaving it to Calvin.

According to the Port Hope Guide of August 27, 1852 , Justin plus John Agar, Sr. and Jr., petitioned Nathan Choate, township reeve, to call a township meeting concerning construction of the Port Hope and Peterborough Railroad.

According to the 1860 census, Justin and Lucy were affiliated with the Church of England.

In January, 1861, Justin made out his will, leaving his land to Calvin Johnson and sums of money to the rest of the children .

In January, 1865, Lucy Johnson died and was buried in Canton Cemetery. In March, 1870, Justin sold a fraction of Lot 22, Concession 4 to James Elliott for $10 and, on May 23, he died and was buried with Lucy in Canton Cemetery.

Electa Newcombe Johnson Haskill

Electa Newcombe Johnson Haskill (there's no consistency in the spelling of Newcombe / Newcomb) achieved some fame for living to the age of nearly 106 and, according to Calvin, taking part in a knitting contest in Toronto at the age of 104. This would have been when Calvin was 62, only 8 years before the interview for "A Commemorative Biography of Kent County." We are greatly indebted to Mrs. Edna Barrowclough of Port Hope for the news paper article in the Port Hope Guide on the occasion of Electa's 100th birthday and for a picture of Electa taken on her 100th birthday and to Helen Fowler Rogers of Royston, B.C. for a picture of Justin and Lucy. The recitation of the incidents in her life which she gave at her 100th birthday party form a substantial portion of the history of the movements of the Johnson family.

In the news article, Electa stated that she was born January 1, 1792 in Dorset, Vt. She indicated that Dorset was divided into three parts - East, North and South. Today, in Bennington County, there are four communities - Dorset, East Dorset, North Dorset, and South Dorset.

There was a stream of water running across her father's land and he had a saw and grist mill. When Electa was five, a boy named Stephen Moss brought a load of grist to the mill and, while waiting for it, went out onto the mill pond on some boards and was drowned. She mentions playing with Pember Warner who lived near by in Dorset and later moved to Port Hope.

Mills continued to exist west of Dorset for many years and pictures of them may be found in the Historical Museum there. Today the pond is maintained by a sportsman's club as a fishing pond for youngsters. Traces of a mill race still exist. Someone has noted on the file at the Historical Museum at Dorset that the Johnson's lived near Soper's Tavern in South Dorset but we do not know who made the note or its source.

There is also a cryptic note that "she" escaped the Royalton massacre and observed it from behind a rock. This couldn't have been Electa as the raid occurred in 1780 and it probably wasn't Chloe. There is good evidence that neither the Johnson nor Bennett families lived at Royalton at the time. On the other hand, Timothy's march to Brookfield in Joshua Hazen's company in Oct. 1780 may have been in response to the raid.

It is interesting to note that there were a number of Warner's and Throop's serving under Ethan Allan in his militia known as the "Green Mountain Boys" and the attendees at Electa's 100th birthday a century later included a large number of Throop's.

Nathaniel Haskill came to Port Hope in 1795 and Electa married his son, Timothy Curtis Haskill, born June 1788.

In her recitation, Electa mentions that "We went onto our farm in 1819 (near Mr. Moore Fanning's farm.)" According to a letter from a descendant, Harold Brooking of Traherne, Manitoba, Electa and Timothy farmed Nathaniel's farm two miles west of Port Hope. Electa mentions being on the farm for 49 years and then in town for 40 years, i. e. on the farm from 1803 to 1852 and then in town from 1852 to 1892. A possible explanation is that she married Timothy Haskill in 1819. In 1819, he would have been 31 and she 27.

She evidently started an almanac in 1818 which was available to be seen at the birthday party. The ultimate disposition of this diary is tantalizing and troublesome. The answer, perhaps, lies in discovering the disposition of the assets of her daughter, Mary Doney, whom we will discuss later.

Electa's children were: Curtis L., the eldest, who had died just before Electa's 100th birthday; Harvey, born circa 1821; Mary, born 1820, 1823 or 1825, depending on the source.

In 1822, St. Mark's Church (then known as St. John's) was built and Electa indicated that she attended worship there under Bishop Stewart although the Craick histories of Port Hope consulted do not mention his name among those who served at St. Mark's . St. John's records held at the Anglican Archives seem to suggest that he was a visiting pastor from Cobourg.

Timothy and Electa appear in the records of St. Mark's on Sept. 25, 1834 when they witnessed the marriage of Samuel Lutes and Mary Nichols.

Timothy died in November, 1868, aged 80 years and 5 months. In the 1871 census, we find Electa living with her daughter and son-in-law, John and Mary Doney, in Port Hope.

September 24, 1898, at the age of 105, Electa Newcombe Johnson Haskill died and was buried at the Welcome Cemetery with her husband, Timothy. Sometime subsequent to Memorial Day, 1899 - as stated earlier - Timothy Johnson's stone (and his remains?) were moved from the Presbyterian Kirkyard to the Haskill plot.
