TIMELINE
Ontario was known as: Upper Canada from
December
26, 1791, to February 10, 1841; Canada West from February 10, 1841, to July
1, 1867; and
Ontario after July 1, 1867.
Extract from "Brockville Recorder & Times" -- 15
August 1905
"Going away back to the time of the religious strife between
Catholics and Protestants in Germany, in the year 1530, a family
from thence named William, James and Elizabeth Wood came
to New York. William married an English lady, by whom he
had a son John, who became a baker by trade. This John,
the baker, also married, and among his sons was one John,
who became proprietor. The hotelman reared a family, one of whom
was John Wood, who was a U.S. pioneer and later became
Capt. John Wood in the Continental army in New York. He married
there and had a son and daughter, William and Betsey. She
afterwards was Mrs. Ebenezer Moore. In the year 1779, the
Captain was captured by the British at Quebec, put in a dungeon
four years and ten days. During the captivity his wife and
children came over to Canada, and in 1791(4), he went in search
of them, and finding them settled in Caintown in the township of
Yonge, County of Leeds, Province of Upper Canada, he never
returned to live in the States but became subject to Great
Britain, and being of a somewhat jovial turn of mind, often said
he would flog a son of his who would refuse to become a British
subject. His children are William, Betsey, Isaiah, David, Mary, Hafey and George.
Mary married John
H. Armstrong whose son George W. began about 18 years ago to
search for evidence in the case of his grandfather, Captain John
Wood, regarding Governmental bounty for his services in the U.S.
revolutionary war, and for which he had never received
remuneration. He had been very successful in obtaining important
evidence, and is hopeful of securing a sum from the funds of
Uncle Sam. The military commissioners at Washington, D.C. have
acknowledged this much."

and reburied in the Lewis Corners Cemetery, Granby Twp., Oswego Co., N.Y.)
