Biography
He was the son of Simon Conrad Grynaeus and Anna Margaretha Rab.
He was married to Eva (Eve) Wild or Will (she lived 1766 - 17 Mar 1844). They had five children and immigrated to Canada in 1800-1803. After this date Sebastian and descendants are well documented.
Sebastian, a United Empire Loyalist, emigrated to Upper Canada about 1806. He and his wife Eve settled in Toronto Township.[1]
During the War of 1812, Sebastian Greeniaus served as a private in the 2nd York Militia. He worked on Dundas Street from November 10 to 20, 1813, with his son Daniel, in Captain Thomas Merrigold's Company. [2]
He was buried in Springcreek Cemetery, Mississauga

Further to our email discussion, here is the merge request.
I've proposed this merge to end with LNAB Greeniaus, since we don't have a specific record for Sebastian himself using the Grynaeus spelling but the Greeniaus spelling is used on his tombstone.
Thanks again for spotting this duplicate! Lucy Lavelle
