Isaac Gerow requested membership at the Yonge Street meeting in Ontario in 1812, as did Benjamin Gerow.^[1]

Daniel Gerow (Mary Polly Ramsey) Daniel was born on 1 August 1780 in Clarkstown, Rockland New York. He died on 21 June 1861 at Ameliasburgh, Ontario. He was the father of one of my DNA matches, Mary Lila Gerow.

Daniel’s father, Benjamin Gerow (Maria Aljee) moved to Dutchess County in 1770. Benjamin was born on 26 April 1759 to Daniel Gerow and Maria Haus (House). Benjamin’s grandfather, Benjamin (Annatje Kuyper) was born 1707.(Gerow Family in America). Ben 1707 was the brother of Daniel, 1697.

Who spoke for William Clark in 1812???

It may have been Isaac Gerow, born 1761, son of Isaac and Charity (Wiggins) Gerow. Isaac, Sr was the son of Daniel and Catherine (Secord) Gerow. He and his widowed mother, Charity, fled to New Brunswick after the war; William Clark and his wife (potentially Esther Gerow) were there also, hence the introduction?

Isaac’s brother, Henry, was living in Hallowell, PE by 1809. Henry also bought land and moved to Gerow Gore. Their brother Benjamin (b. 1767 Westchester NY; Married Margaret Russell) moved to PE in 1816 and bought land at the Gore in 1818.

Isaac Gerow was born 1761 in New Castle, Westchester County, New York. He died 5 April 1864 at Hallowell, Prince Edward County, Ontario. His mother was Charity Gerow; his father Isaac. According to FindAGrave, he was married to Sarah Lawson on 2 July 1792 at Gagetown, New Brunswick, Canada by Rev. Richard Clark.
