Where does Chauncey Kipp fit into the Canadian Kipp Families?

Where does Chauncey Kipp fit into the Canadian Kipp Families?

In my years of research on the Kipp families in Ontario, I came to realize there were at least two Kipp families in Southern Ontario.

One of these was my family, the descendants of Isaac Kipp and Hannah Meed (Mead), who generally lived in the area of Blenheim, Blandford, East Oxford and Burford Townships.

The other family, descendants of John (James) Kipp and Lydia McPherson, I call the Tillsonburg Kipp Family.  In general they lived in the southern part of Oxford County in the Dereham Township area and in areas further west such as Middlesex and Elgin Counties.

After doing some DNA testing, we determined that the two families are related.  The problem is the furthest back ancestor we can identify in each family comes to a dead end in the paper trail in New York State.  Both families are related to the Kip/Kipp family of New Amsterdam (New York) (determined through DNA testing).

The Tillsonburg Kipp family can be traced back to John (James) Kipp (cir 1770-cir 1828) and Lydia McPherson (cir 1774-?).  Of their children, there are two of interest.

Henry Kipp (cir 1800 - ?), married Rachel Ann Wintermute (1794-?), on June 23, 1827 at Queenston, Upper Canada.  One of their children was Chauncey Kipp (1828-1876) (1861 & 1871 Census of Canada), who married Lucinda Thompson (1837-1912) cir. 1855.  Resided in Middlesex County, Ontario.

William Kipp (1790-1856), married Rachel Mann (1794-1857) cir 1818, probably in Upper Canada.  They had a son named Chauncey Kipp (1834-1918) (1851 Census of Canada), who married Sara Jane Laur (1840-1918) on Dec. 10, 1859.

Family of Isaac Kipp and Hannah Meed

They had a son named Jonathan Kipp (cir. 1792-1831), who married Roda or Rhoda Chausey (cir. 1795-?), cir. 1818.  I have only found one child for them named Sylvanus Kipp (1819-1889), who married Lorena Bush (1820-?) on May 13, 1842 at Woodstock, Canada West.  They do not seem to have had a son named Chauncey.

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.

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.

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).

About 1684, he settled in Elizabeth, Union County, New Jersey, perhaps coming with a group of English settlers. On April 16, 1688, he was deeded 44 acres of land at Elizabethtown by Agatha White, a widow; this land deeded to her about two weeks prior by Richard Beech. On July 21, 1690, William Darby deeded this land to Richard Mattuke of Elizabethtown, in exchange for 40 acres on the south branch of Elizabethtown Creek., this land acquired by Mattuke by purchase from Mary Hatfield, widow of Mattias Hatfield. On May 27, 1696, Andrew White deeded to William Darby, 60 acres of ground consisting of 3 parcels; and on March 27, 1701, William and wife mortgaged to John Blanchard, trader, 66 acres in 2 parcels. Between 1688 and 1701, William removed to Scotch Plains, Union County, New Jersey. He was among the 230 men who signed the Remonstrance of the Inhabits of East Jersey (a petition against the Acts of the Lords Proprietors), which was executed probably before 1700.

The following information came from a book called: "Clark in Elizabeth Town in New Jersey" by Elmer Sayre Clark:
"William Darby was of a group of English settlers from Elizabeth and vicinity. William married Elizabeth Hawkins and lived for a number of years at Elizabeth, New Jersey, prior to removing to Scotch Plains New Jersey. In 1687 he bought 44 acres of land at Elizabeth from Agatha White, widow, and in 1701 he sold this land to John Blanchard.
