David Hotrum (cir 1789-bef 1871) - a 3X Great Grandfather

David Hotrum (cir 1789-bef 1871)

David Hotrum, one of my 3 x great grandfathers was born cir 1789 in Morris County, New Jersey. Died before 1871, Ontario, Canada.

He married Mary Baker Smith March 18, 1812 in Upper Canada.

1. Edward Kipp
2. Phyllis Margaret Link (b November 19, 1906) - Carievale, Saskatchewan
3. Horace Lorenzo Link (b June 26, 1877) - Woodbury, Burford Twp., Brant County, Ontario Canada
4. Mercy Ann Rathbun (b July 13, 1856) - Burford, Brant County, Canada West (m William Henry Link)
5. Eliza Jane Hotrum (b Feb. 22, 1831) - Upper Canada (m Horace Rathbun)
6. David Hotrum (b cir 1789) - Morris County, New Jersey (m Mary Baker Smith)
7. Conrad Hotrum/Hotterham (b bef 1765) - probably New Jersey but perhaps Germany (m Catherina Jons)

According to the Upper Canada Land Petition of David Hotrum, the Hotrum family was in Upper Canada by 1793.  The petition provides his birth year and that he was born in Morris County, New Jersey.

In considering David's father Conrad, his Land Petition gives his surname as Hotterham.
A later petition of David Kern tells us that Conrad died before Dec. 2, 1802.

The Hotrum family probably traveled overland by wagon in New Jersey, to the Hudson River, and then New York, where they took shipping on a boat up the Hudson River to Albany. They probably went overland from Albany by wagon to Schenectady, where they would have taken shipping on a boat along the Mohawk River. They would have proceeded by boat to the Carrying Place near Fort Stanwix, crossed along Wood Creek to Oneida Lake and then across the lake to Oswego on Lake Ontario. Here they would have hired another boat to take them to the Niagara River or further west to  Barton Township. This trip would have taken them about 6 weeks.

They received land in Barton Township, which early on became part of Hamilton in the County of Wentworth.
They also appear in various records of Glanford Township.

Mary Beamer (Cir 1770 - Bef 1851) - a 3 x Great-grandmother

Mary Beamer (Cir 1770 - Bef 1851)

Mary Beamer, one of my 3 x great grandmothers was born cir 1770 in New Jersey. Died before 1851 in Canada West.

Mary Beamer married Noah Force about 1787, Sussex County, New Jersey.

1. Edward Kipp
2. Lorne Bernice Kipp (b Sept. 3, 1901) - Gobles, Oxford Co. ON, Canada
3. William Henry Kipp (b Oct. 1, 1862) - Burford Twp, Brant Co., Canada West
4. Elizabeth Force (b Mar. 19, 1818) - Burford Twp, Brant Co., Upper Canada (m Benjamin Kipp)
5. Resiah Force (b Feb. 12, 1788) - Sussex County, New Jersey (m Elizabeth Schramm)
6. Mary Beamer (b cir 1770) - Sussex County, New Jersey (m Noah Force)
7. Henry Beamer (b cir 1730) - Netherlands (m Lena Blenkenberg)

The Beamer family probably traveled overland by wagon in New Jersey, to the Hudson River, and then New York, where they took shipping on a boat up the Hudson River to Albany. They probably went overland from Albany by wagon to Schenectady, where they would have taken shipping on a boat along the Mohawk River. They would have proceeded by boat to the Carrying Place near Fort Stanwix, crossed along Wood Creek to Oneida Lake and then across the lake to Oswego on Lake Ontario. Here they would have hired another boat to take them to the Niagara River or further west to where the Beamers were settled near 20 mile Creek, west of present day St. Catharines. This trip would have taken them about 6 weeks.

Henry Beamer (Cir 1730 - 1833)

Henry Beamer, one of my 4 x great-grandfathers was born cir 1730 in the Netherlands. Died 1833 in Upper Canada.

Henry Beamer married Lena Blenkenberg about 1752, Sussex County, New Jersey.

1. Edward Kipp
2. Lorne Bernice Kipp (b Sept. 3, 1901) - Gobles, Oxford Co. ON, Canada

They probably went overland from Albany by wagon to Schenectady, where they would have taken shipping on a boat along the Mohawk River. They would have proceeded by boat to the Carrying Place near Fort Stanwix, crossed along Wood Creek to Oneida Lake and then across the lake to Oswego on Lake Ontario. Here they would have hired another boat to take them to the Niagara River or further west to where the Beamers were settled near 20 mile Creek, west of present day St. Catharines. This trip would have taken them about 6 weeks.

Additional research is still ongoing into the land records of Lots 11, 12 and 13 concessions 3 and 4 of Burford Township, Brant County, Ontario, around Forces Corners or Woodbury. The land records (copy books) for Burford Township are located in Brantford, Ontario.
I do know the following:
Henry Beamer had a Crown Patent on Burford, conc 3 lot 12 dated May 13, 1805;
Levi Lawrence had a Crown Patent on Burford, conc 4 lot 12 dated April 24, 1805.
Both of these lots are on the east side of the Burford Township middle town line right at Forces Corners.

Beamer Lore:
From the booklet "Beamer Lore" compiled in 1928 by Miss Nancy Beamer, historian for the Beamer family of Louth Township, Lincoln County, Ontario, Canada. The booklet was compiled to present to family members attending the Beamer family reunion which at that time was held annually in Niagara, Southern Ontario.
As the title indicates, this is "Lore". Much of it cannot be authenticated.
Pioneer settler in Louth Twp.,Lincoln County,Henry Beamer was born in Holland, about the year 1730. His father, Benjamin, a millwright by trade, and an officer in the army, resided on the river Rhine. He had a large family. In those days each son was obliged to serve seven years in the army.Tto escape this rigorous system many young men left their native land and came to America to seek their fortune.
Henry Beamer was one of them. It is said that he applied to his father for money to pay his passage, but his request was refused. Apart from any other consideration, it would have been a serious offense for any army officer to assist his own son to escape. Left to his own resources, Henry with seventeen other lads, made an agreement with the Captain of a vessel about to sail. They were about six months reaching New York, then called New Amsterdam, and on their arrival the Captain sold the boys for three years to pay for their passage. About 1752, Henry married and settled in Sussex, the most north-westerly county in New Jersey. It is not positively known what his wife's name was, but in the baptismal records of the old Dutch Reformed Church of Mahackamack, under date May 29, 1766, this entry appears: Sarah, daughter of Hendrick Beemer and Lena Blenkenberg, baptized. In all Canadian records Henry's name is spelled with "ea" not "ee" as in this entry; but the fact that Henry had a daughter Lena, that her second marriage is recorded in this same church, that the names "Sarah" and "Lena" appear frequently in succeeding generations, that the date fits into Henry's history, and that the spelling of his first name bespeaks recent arrival from the old land, and that no record this "Hendrick" having remained in USA has been found, all seem to point to him as being the "Henry" who came to Louth.
Henry Beamer had lived in America over thirty years, and was the father of sixteen children, eight sons and eight daughters, when he "pulled up stakes" and again "took the toilsome road of exile", as did so many other Loyalists after the American Revolution. For six weeks they plodded on Pennsylvania wagons. The year of his arrival in Canada is uncertain**, but his son Adam, born in 1774, was but a small boy when the journey was made, and the weary miles he trudged through the woods left a lasting impression on the little fellow. Evidently some of the older children, who were married, came later at intervals. History informs us that between the years 1783 and 1792 the influx of Loyalists by way of Niagara was so great that the surveyors could not lay out land fast enough to accommodate the exiles seeking new homes.

{Donna Cole, year 2000}
No grants of land were made in Louth Twp. previous to 1795. Those who came before the land was surveyed settled where they chose.
Henry's first location was somewhere in the "Smoky Hollow" section of Louth, which proved an undesirable locality. In 1804 he obtained a grant of one hundred acres on the top of the "mountain", and in 1808 another hundred acre grant lying between the properties already granted to, or bought by his sons (Christopher and Adam).
