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.
