Biography

Samuel Shipman was born in East Hartford, Connecticut, 18 January 1765, the son of Daniel Shipman and Kezia Horton.[1]

The first of his family to move to Yonge, he married Catherine Elliott in 1786 and was there in 1802 with his family of nine, later to be 12 children by her.[2]

He was a native of New England, but at the close of the revolution removed to the vicinity of Brockville, receiving a grant of land as a U. E. Loyalist. He married in 1768, Catherine Elliott, daughter of a U. E. Loyalist. His first wife died in 1811; his second wife was Margaret Henderson, by whom he had one child, now the wife of Abel Coleman, of Ogdensburg. By his first wife he had twelve children, all of whom are dead.[3]
Now to tell something of Daniel Shipman. He was the youngest of three sons of Samuel Shipman by a first marriage. His second wife bore him ten children. The three sons by the first marriage, John, Joel and Daniel, came to Canada and settled around Lynn, in the Brockville district. The Shipman family in Canada always referred to themselves as United Empire Loyalists. Daniel, the youngest, left Lynn and came to Almonte.[4][5]

He remarried Margaret Henderson and had one daughter by her.[6]

Samuel died in 1831.[7]

Refer to: https://www.anamericanfamilyhistory.com/Dwinnell%20Associates/Shipman%20Family.html which mentions Shipman Family in Canada, including Samuel Shipman and Catherine Elliott.

Samuel Shipman Esq. son of Daniel Shipman and Kezia Horton. Born 17 Jan 1764, Died 8 Dec 1831, in Yonge, Leeds Co. Ont. Birth(2); 18 Jan 1765. Burial in Lyn Cem, Yonge Twp., Leeds Co. Ont.

According to Howard Brown, Samuel lived in Yonge, Leeds County, Ontario for over 30 years (Concession 1, Lot 3, East half between Yonge Mills and Lyn), his patent under Order of Council dated July 2, 1829. He was first granted 200 acres in Elizabethtown (Concession 9, Lot 23 patent dated April 19, 1798.

An article in the Brockville Recorder Oct. 18, 1985 states that Samuel migrated to Canada in 1784.

He took out papers on 200 acres on Lot 28 of the Eighth Concession of Elizabethtown on April 19, 1798. He was also among the early landholders in Yonge township. On April 19, 1798 he was granted 100 acres on the west half of Lot 3 of the Second Concession of Yonge.

According to That Leavitt (History of Leeds and Grenville), he had 12 children by his first wife Catherine Elliott and one child by Margaret Henderson. Howard Brown tentatively lists 7 sons for Samuel but is uncertain on Stephen ("perhaps") and Joel ("probably"). Since Ezekiel also had sons Ezekiel, John and Ebenezer, it is possible these are the same people placed in both families. These three sons are named in the 1803-7 census in Ezekiel's household, although John does not appear in 1803 or 1807. We do not know the names of any of Samuel's six daughters by Catherine Elliott.

After writing this, Alice Shipman Stevenson received a "Family Register" which was found at John's Antique and Flea Market on the Yonge Mills Road. It names all the children of Samuel with dates of brith: John, Joel, Daniel, Samuel, Cynthia, Ezekiel, Neviah (?), Sarah Sophia, Stephen, Catherine Elliott and Semantha by Catherine Elliott. With Margaret Henderson he had Anna.
