In 1789, the year after his father died, Elisha Forsyth, who
was now sixteen years of age, returned to Choconut, where he
attended school. He was living there in 1794 when he married
Freelove Parks, daughter of Capt. Thomas Park, who was the
earliest settler at Park settlement on the west side of the Owego
creek, near Flemingville. Previous to his marriage he worked eight
months at Catskill learning the carpenter's trade, and afterward
came to Owego. He assisted in framing the first frame building
erected here and he built the first ark made on the Susquehanna
river.
Elisha Forsyth spent the greater part of his life lumbering and
farming. He died at Park settlement March 1, 1857.

Notes for D ANIEL
FORSYTH:
The name "Daniel" is an uncommon one amongst the clan of the
Forsyth family in those early days prior to the Revolutionary War.
However, James and Eunice named their second child with this
honour. Who they names their son, Daniel, after or whether they
chose the name by it's liking is certainly not known to us.
Another unknown concerning Daniel, is what his boyhood and
adolescence life was like between the period of the settlement at
Niagara in Canada, where he appears in the second census in
Stamford Township - December of 1783 (Daniel Forsyth was listed as
a son of James and Eunice), to being a settler, and then as an
adult at Point Abino in 1783. His first recorded appearance in
Canada was in 1783 listed as Point Abino as 11 years old and was
found to appear again in the month of July 1793 at Point Abino,
where he was not about 21 years of age.
From the second Census record at Niagara, it is a high
probability that Daniel was born about the year 1772. However, his
place of birth could have been New London, CT or in the Wyoming
Valley of Pennsylvania. The Wyoming Valley had very few settlers
with families prior to 1772. In May of 1772, there were only five
white women in Wilkes-Barre. In August of 1772, James Forsythe
(his father) returned to New London to see about his affairs, and
brought his wife to the Wyoming Valley in October of 1772, passing
through Goshen, in the province of New York, and crossing the
Delaware River, then entering Pennsylvania. It appears that his
intention was to settle in the Wyoming Valley with his family.

"I Daniel Forsyth in the Township of Humberstone, in the County

of health, calling to mind the immorality of my body, and the
uncertainty of the continuence of this life; being in perfect
sound mind and memory, I declare this to be my last Will and
Testament.
First I direct soon after my death my funeral charges, will be
fully paid by my execters, hereafter constituted, and appointed by
me. My Estate real and Personal to be divided in the following
manner:
My landed property to be kept together until my youngest child
comes of age or marriage __(then?)__

in value, which line shall be made by men chosen by the two
legeties; the __ thereof, and the Executors; all which I give and
devise unto my _(eldest or two?)_sons William and Jacob, and to
their heirs and asigns forever; and they shall pay to their three
brothers namely James, Esckel & Daniel, one hundred and fifty
pounds New York currency; to each fifty pounds payment as follows:
They shall pay twenty-five pound N.Y. currency one year from the
youngest comming of age; of twenty one years; and twenty five
pounds the same currency, annualy until the one hundred and fifty
pounds be paid.
My stock to be kept on the south part of the place, and to be

otherwise.
That is if my said James should marry, he shall be given a yoke
of oxen, one cow, and when the lawful age, ten dollars exclusive
of the above legacy; and the use of the north part of my clearing,
as far as the strip of woods between my clearing; for two years
and longer, if he and his brother Esckel can agree together paying
a small rent after that time; and in case they cannot agree, after
Esckel comes of age he shall have ten dollars and a yoke of oxen
and a cow; and the use of the north part, as described to James;
and James shall have the south part, and have the care of the
smaller children of mine; and my two sons before names should not
conduct, so as to keep the family together comfortably.
The south part of my clearing with preveledges thereon, are to
be rented for that purpose, which I leave to the descresion of my
executors.
My two children Jacob and Rachel are to live with their Uncle
and Aunt Luise, and a small compensation to be paid out of my
Estate yearly for their assistance until they can earn their own
living. The sum & the time to cease paying is to be left to the
decision of my executors; and the same to my daughter Catharine,
which lives with James Edsal & wife.

or comming to the year of eighteen; a bed, a cow, and two sheep,
which shall be ewes, and also six plates a piece.

I do constitute my brother-in-law Nathaniel Dennis and Asaliah
Sceeley, and my son James, my sole executers, disalowing,
revoking, and disanulling all other Wills and Testaments, by me,
in anywise names concerning this, and no other to be my last will

Notes for W ILLIAM
FORSYTH:
William Forsyth, described as "a small wiry man, weighing
barely 150 pounds" (Niagara, page 214) was "a bane to the Warrens
and Colonel Kerby, continually outwitting them and their deputies
by cunning and sheer daring. By the time of his death from
exposure in 1849 Forsyth had established himself as the district's
king of smugglers, a reputation challenged only by Smugglin' Sam
Johnston who operated from 1840 to 1870 at nearby Pleasant Point."
"The underground railway had a crossing at this point, after
Forsyth's death hiding its slave refugees in the Smuggler's
Home..."
William Forsyth's father was a loyalist farmer who in 1783 or
1784 moved his wife and five children to the west side of the
Niagara River. The family made its home in Stamford Township,
where William was living in 1796 when he first petitioned for
land. Three years later, then described as a yeoman, he stood
trial for a felony. He was acquitted but on 7 March was jailed for
a capital offence. Escaping the next day, he was foiled in his
attempt to reach the United States and, back in prison, he
petitioned Administrator Peter Russel for release conditional upon
"his banishing himself." Despite the support of Robert Hamilton,
the most powerful man in the district and an important figure in
the portaging trade around the falls, Russell hesitated since
Forsyth's offence involved "so many Questions of Prudence - Policy
- & Law." By mid May he had still not made a decision, after which
date nothing further is known on the incident.
Forsyth next appears as a farmer living close to the Horseshoe
Falls. In his reply to an 1824 query about Forsyth's claim for
losses in the War 1812, Thomas Clark, a neighbour and commanding
officer of the 2nd Lincoln Militia (Forsyth's unit), reported him
"a man of uncouth behaviour." Clark remembered that he had given
"some displeasure and trouble to my nights." On the other hand,
Clark believed that at the battle of Beaver Dams in 1813 "he
behaved very well in harassing the Enemy before taken prisoners."
That fall American forces plundered Forsyth's home and farm. More
damage was done to his house by Indians during a council convened
by Major-General Phineas Riall. Clark noted that in 1814, when
Major-General Louis de Watteville was quartered there, he used
Forsyth as a spy "to go across the river...but report says that he
took over as much if not more than he brought back." Clark was not
in the province at the time, however, and was unsure how true the
allegation was: "Forsyth is a man not generally liked, and perhaps
malice may have instigated the report - his neighbours...have no
doubts about his loyalty - and further say that when the Enemy
were in possession here, he did, and did naturally shape his
Conduct as well as he could to save his property." Although
Forsyth's claim of more than 425 pounds sterling for losses was
initially rejected, upon appeal, and after Clark's review of his
wartime record, he was allowed 90 pounds in 1824.
Rumour and innuendo hung over Forsyth like the ever-present
mist over the falls. The wartime stories did not impugn his
character but they detracted from it, suggesting a man with a
sense of what was best for himself. One popular historian, Gordon
Donaldson, has hinted that Forsyth used his knowledge of the river
to smuggle goods to and from the United States. There is no
corroboration but Forsyth's early brushes with authority, made
escape from jail, and self-serving character suggest that there
may be room for doubt.
Some time after the war Forsyth built an inn on his property.
Charles Fothergill stayed there in early April 1817. Two years
later botanist John Goldie described it as the "nearest" to the
falls of several inns along the river. In 1818 Forsyth had erected
a covered stairway into the gorge for a different view at 1
shilling per person. These stairs were, he admitted, "upon the
chain reserved for Military purposes, in front of...(his) Land
between it and the River."The falls was Upper Canada's greatest
scenic attraction and Forsyth's inn was the place to stay. The
Duke of Richmond (Lennox) stayed there in 1818 as did Lord
Richmond (Lennox) a year later. The duke's party were less than
pleased by the innkeeper's ability to accommodate them, in spite
of his professed exertions, and there was a problem over the
account. When Dalhousie arrived Forsyth's reputation was suspect;
none the less, he found the "tavern and accommodation...were very
good indeed, and the man himself, tho' a Yankee & reputed to be
uncivil, was quite the reverse to us, obliging and attentive in
every way." Visitors often seized upon other traits: Adam
Fergusson pronounced Forsyth a "personage sufficiently shrewd and
well informed" whereas Samuel De Veaux found him "a man of
enterprising character."

Notes for S ARAH
FORSYTH:
According to "The Battle of Lundy's Lane"...
"William Lundy was a former Pennsylvanian who had come to
Canada in 1786 with his wife and five sons to take up land lying a
mile and a half along an Indian trail running west from the falls.
Charles Green, a New Jersey Loyalist who owned the land over which
the trail ran, donated it as a public road, and it became known as
Lundy's Lane in honor of the prominent farmer whose property
bordered it. South of the ridge, on both sides of the portage
road, lay the property of James Forsyth, who owned a tavern and
livery stable midway between Willson's Tavern and the junction of
Lundy's Land with the portage road. Forsyth's daughter Sarah had
married Christopher Buchner, formerly of New Jersey, who obtained
from Forsyth, either by purchase or gift, most of the ridge south
of the lane and had buuilt a house on the southwest slope. West
and south of Forsyth were the farms of Benjamin and Haggai
Skinner, members of a Loyalist clan from Delaware. Haggai's
daughter Lydia had married a recent American immigrant, Stephen
Peer, and the couple resided at the southeast foot of the hill.
Sarah and Christopher Buchner lived on the hill where Drummond
Hill Cemetery, Niagara Falls is today. (Ed Forsyth - Lockport,

During the War of 1812-1814 Lieutenant Christopher Buchner
served with the 2nd Lincolns, summer of 1814 at Chippawa where 16
men were killed and thirteen wounded, the heaviest losses incurred
in a single engagement by a Canadian Militia unit during the war.
BUCHNER - "Some Graves on Lundy's Lane" by Ernest Green
"In memory of Captain Christopher Buchner who died September
7th, 1843, aged 59 years".
Christopher Buchner was a Loyalist from New Town, N.J. whose
family (originally Boughner) came from Holland or Germany to that
place and located the first farm recorded there. He married Sarah,
daughter of James and Unis Forsythe and purchased from his
father-in-law property which included this hill (Drummond). It was
he who gave the first half-acre for the use of the settlers as a
burying ground. He was the first lessee from the Govt of the
privilege of operating a ferry below the falls.

Notes for DAVID FORSYTH:
April 15, 1910 - Hamilton Spectator
WAS BORN BLIND - David Forsythe Died This Morning At Age
of 82.
Was One of the Best Posted Men in the Country.
Death made a sudden visitation to the Forsythe farm on
the Dundas Road this morning and removed one of the most
remarkable characters in this part of the country. David
Forsythe, although in his 83rd year, had good health up to
yesterday. He complained then of feeling just a little under
the weather. This morning he arose as usual, ate a hearty
breakfast and then laid down on the sofa. In a few minutes
he complained of having a chill. Before medical aid could be
summoned he had passed away.
Mr. Forsythe had never seen the light of day. He was born
blind. His parents were married on the Forsythe Farm, half
way between this city and Dundas, nearly 90 years ago, and
there he was born. His wonderful acute sense of hearing
enabled him to go around without assistance, and no one
walking along King Street on a busy Saturday, seeing him,
would suspect that he was blind. He knew public affairs just
as well as if he had been a reader all his life, and was a
wonderfully well posted man on almost every subject. He had
always resided with his elder brother, James Forsythe, and
wife, since their marriage over 60 years ago. He was one of
the most ardent Liberals in the country; a man of fine
characteristics and was esteemed by all who knew him.

FORSYTH:
George Alexander Forsyth
Brigadier General, United States Army
Born November 7, 1837 at Muncy, Pennsylvania, he enlisted as a
Private in the Chicago Dragoons in April 1861 and in September was
appointed First Lieutenant in the 8th Illinois Volunteer Cavalry.
Throughout the Civil War, he served with the Army of West
Virginia, the Army of the Potomac and the Army of the Shenandoah.
He was advanced to Captain in February 1862, Major in September
1863, Brevet Colonel, October 1864, for gallantry at Opequon and
Winchester and Brevet Brigadier General for services in the Army
in March 1865. He was mustered out of the volunteer service in
March 1865.In July 1865 he was appointed Major of the 9th U.S.
Cavalry. In 1867 he received brevets in the regular service to
Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel for actions in the Civil War at
Dinwiddie Court House and Five Forks. From 1866 he was
continuously on Frontier duty. In the Summer of 1868 he was
ordered by General Philip Henry Sheridan, commander of the
Department of the Missouri, to recruit a party of "fifty
first-class hardy frontiersmen" to scout the Indians of Kansas,
Nebraska and Colorado regions. He took to the field in August. On
September 16 he made camp on the Arickaree Fork of the Republican
River, near the present-day Wray, Colorado. At dawn the next day
the scouts were attacked by nearly 1,000 Cheyenne, Sioux and
Arapaho Indians led by Chief Roman Nose. He and his men retreated
to a sandy island in the bed of the river and dug in. They stood
off repeated charges by the Indians, during the first of which
Roman Nose and Forsyth's second-in-command, Lieutenant Frederick
H. Beecher, were killed and Forsyth wounded three times. The
scout's horses were killed and but for them there was no food.
Four more men died in subsequent skirmishes, and the siege was
maintained for nine days before relief came, just in time, in the
form of a Company of black troopers of the 10th U.S. Cavalry from
Fort Wallace, Kansas. The engagement became known as the Battle of
Beecher's Island, honoring Lieutenant Beecher. He was breveted
Brigadier General, U.S. Army, for that fight, and later
transferred to the the 4th U.S. Cavalry in the Southwest and took
part in the Apache Wars.In 1869-73 he was Military Secretary to
General Sheridan and in 1878-1881 Sheridan's Aide-de-Camp. He
retired from the Army in March 1890 and was promoted to Colonel on
the Retired List in April 1904. He died at Rockport,
Massachusetts, on September 12, 1915 and was buried in Section 1
(Grave 188) of Arlington National Cemetery among other family
members. His private memorial says:"Intrepid Soldier and Christian
Gentleman."
During his life he wrote "A Frontier Fight," for Harpers
Magazine (1895); "The Story of the Soldier," (1900); "Thrilling
Days of Army Life," (1902).

Notes for J AMES
FORSYTH:
James Forsyth - The "grand old man of Wentworth Country," James
Forsyth owned and operated throughout most of his active years a
large farm which is today an important part of the city of
Hamilton, Ontario. (written c. 1930).
James Forsyth, son of Caleb and Amy (Smoke) Forsyth, was born
on the Forsyth farm near Hamilton in 1824. Reared there and
educated in the local schools, he spent all his active years on
the farm, improving it, erecting the brick house which was one of
the finest residences in the section for many years, and farming
one hundred acres of land. In 1873 he leased the land, while he
continued to reside in the old home. Ultimately the farm was
subdivided into building lots, now incorporated in the city of
Hamilton. Possessed of a remarkable memory to the end of his
ninety-seven years, he could relate interesting facts about the
early history of Hamilton, when the town consisted of a few houses
and stores, a blacksmith shop, a church, and two hotels, set down
in an expanse of wheat fields and potato patches. He died in his
old home, December 16, 1921, and was laid to rest in the Hamilton
Cemetery. A loyal member of the Methodist Church and a devoted
husband and father, he brought much happiness to his family.
James Forsyth married at the homestead on June 1, 1848,
Elizabeth Forbes, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. Mr.
Brennen, pastor of the New Connection Methodist Church. She was
born at Montreal in 1822, though her parents soon moved to Bytown,
now known as Ottawa, in 1827. It was in 1845 that she came to
Hamilton, and when she married three years later, seventeen
residents of the town witnessed the ceremony, of whom four were
living when the couple celebrated their sixty-five years of
married life in 1913. Mrs. Forsyth died at the age of ninety-four.
In 1908 they celebrated their diamond wedding. Two children were
born to them: Sarah Jane, who married John Newland Barnard, and
Alice Louise, who married Charles H. Peebles, chief clerk of the
Ninth Division Court of Hamilton.
James Forsyth was secretary of the School Board, consisting of
Mr. Joseph Cline and Mr. John J. Bowman and himself, when the land
was purchased for the school site on November 10th, 1874, for the
sum of $200.00 from Mr. Abram Binkley.
The Forsyths were always strong Liberals and at one time, when
William Lyon MacKenzie was being hunted by soldiers for his part
in the Rebellion of 1837, and a price of $4,000.00 was put on his
head, he was given shelter in their home.
West of Forsythe Avenue, the land where McMaster University
stands, was owned by Mr. Samuel Forsyth.

Notes for E LIAS
FORSYTH:
Elias Forsyth built a good brick house east of the Forsyth
Cottage, which was east of Forsythe Avenue. After his early death,
the farm and home was taken over by Francis Buttrum, who with his
wife and family of six sons and one daughter had come from
Suffolk, England.
The remainder of the Forsyth farm to its easterly boundary was
sold to John Bamberger and to Joseph Cline.

Notes for J ANE
ANKEL:
Letter to Edward Forsyth from Jeanette:
" When my Grandmother, Jane Ankle Forsyth came to Canada, her
father had already died in Glasgow, Scotland. His wife, a son ( I
can't remember his name) and Jane came on a sailing vessel. Jane
was quite young, about 12 years old. Inasmuch as they didn't have
money to pay their passage they were bound out to pay their
passage. Jane was fortunate, the people who bought her services
were kind to her, but the boy didn't fare so well. I don't recall
about the mother. After the son earned his freedom, he left Canada
and settled in Michigan, he died unmarried, and left my
grandmother with a small inheritance. Robert and Jane Ankle had
another son, name unknown, who served with a Scottish Highland
Regiment in India and was killed there.

ETHEL EBERTS of Baltimore, MD to Jeanette (Forsyth) Thompson of
Richmond, VA, dated Feb. 20, 1971 as follows:
" My granddad, C.D. (Clark Davis) Forsyth is the one, but I
don't know why they moved from Canada. I did hear that he traded
with a brother. It seemed he had a home in Baltimore city-Druid
Hill Ave., then bought a place in Brooklyn, MD which had three
store fronts. Also rented rest of property in apartments which my
dad (William) rented the lower floor from him. He traveled quite
abit, always to Florida and California in the winter, back to
Canada in summer. He died in Canada at his daughter's, Cora (Mrs.
Menno House) ....."
CORA ELIZABETH FORSYTHE (1865-1948) & her husband, MENNO HOUSE
(1868-1922) of Fort Erie, they both died in Fort Erie, Ontario. In
a letter from their daughter, MARIE (MORIAH) MARR (HOUSE) BABCOCK
(1897-1969) of North Tonawanda, N.Y. to me, dated March 11, 1969
(the same year she died) as follows:
" It seems you were at a loss to know how Grandpa CLARK FORSYTH
died in Welland and was buried beside his his wife Helen in
Baltimore. My father, MENNO HOUSE went with grandpa's body to
Baltimore. My mother couldn't go as someone had to be there to
take care of the business......." I met Marie once at her home in
N.T. & she was handicapped as she had both legs taken off. Her
mother's CORA ELIZABETH HOUSE) death certificate states that she
died in Toronto? And her parents were CLARK FORSYTH & MARY ROUNDY?
A letter from the late Jeanette (Forsyth) Thompson of Richmond, VA
to me, dated Jan. 9, 1969 states:
" Uncle Clark Forsyth lived in Baltimore, MD and used to visit
his daughter, Cora, who lived in Bridgeburg (now Fort Erie). She
was married to Menno House, who used to be Mayor of Fort Erie in
the 1920's........"
Ed Forsyth: Also a letter from Edna Forsyth Donovan, of Fort
Lauderdale, FL, dated Feb. 12, 1969 states: Clark D. Forsyth
became an American citizen in Baltimore on Sept. 21, 1892, his
wife was Helen Marr (my middle name). They are buried in Brooklyn,
MD, in Cedar Hill Cemetery.
"Grandad also married again in his late years, but did not last

Fort Erie, Ontario Jan 2, abt. 1934 (CP)
Niagara frontier's oldest native born resident, Mrs. Olivia
Forsythe Everett, 92, member of a pioneer United Empire Loyalist
family, died suddenly today. She was born in Bertie Hall, historic
Niagara boulevard building, still in use. Her father was the late
Isaac Brock Forsythe, an expert swimmer, who was drowned in the
Niagara River in 1850. Her grandfather, William Forsythe,
originated The Pavillion, famous Niagara resort in 1832. His
controversy with the then governor of Upper Canada, Sir Perigrine
Maitland, is still an interesting historical record.
Olivia Forsyth Everett, age next birthday - 91 years, born Fort

Cause of death: Bronchial Pneumonia
Buried: January 4, 1934. St. Paul's Church, Ft. Erie.
_______________
Mrs. Olivia Everett, Fort Erie's Oldest, Dead at 92 -
Deceased Lady was born in hundred-year old Bertie Hall
Many Memories - Fort Erie. January 2, 1932
Mrs. Olivia Forsyth Everett, oldest native-born resident of
Fort Erie died suddenly this morning at her home on Highland Ave.,
aged ninety-two. A little link with the old days of this town
passes in the demise of Mrs. Forsythe, who recalled the Fenian
raids across the Niagara River and whose family has been
associated with numerous historical features of district life.
Born in a Mansion, the famed Bertie Hall, which is one hundred
years old, Mrs. Everett was hale and hearty prior to her death.
Last August she celebrated her ninety-second birthday. Mrs.
Everett's grandfather came to Bertie in 1832. He founded the
famous Pavilion Hotel at Niagara Falls. He also operated a stage
coach from Fort Erie to Niagara Falls and a ferry in the lower
Niagara River. Her father was the late Brock Forsyth, a noted
Niagara swimmer. He lost his life through drowning in the river
which he often conquered. Mrs. Everett's husband, the late Patrick
Everett, a well-known frontier fisherman, died in 1914 and several
children predeceased her. She resided with her son and daughter,
Alvin Victor Everett and Mrs. Laura Hale. The deceased lady baked
her own bread and completed a batch the day before her death.

THE TIMES REVIEW, Fort Erie, Ontario, Thurs. January 4, 1934
Death claims Mrs. Everett at age 92
Link with past is broken when Fort Erie's grand old lady dies
Monday morning at Highland Avenue home.
With her passing, another link with the past is broken long
before there was a village of Bridgeburg in 1842, Olive Forsyth
was born at Bertie Hall. The massive residence along the
riverfront at the corner of Phipps street and the Niagara Blvd.
Bertie Hall was built by her grandfather, William Forsyth more
than a hundred years ago and Mr. Forsyth operated the Pavilion
Hotel in Niagara Falls, on Prospect Point and he ran the first
stage coach between Fort Erie and Niagara Falls. The hotel burned
and the proprietor started on a search for a new home.
Built Bertie Hall - He settled on the area later covered by the
town of Bridgeburg and now a part of Fort Erie. The land he
purchased and he then proceeded to build Bertie Hall. Stone for
the foundation was secured from around the walls of Old Fort Erie.
Upon his death, the land was divided amongst his sons, one of them
the father of Olive Forsyth, today the only remaining thing in the
family is the house in which Mrs. Everett died and which passes to
her son, Alvin Everett. With her five brothers and sisters, Olive
Forsyth attended school in a boat shop owned by her father Isaac
Brock Forsyth, at the rear of Bertie Hall. There was no public
schools in those days. On March 8, 1865 she married Patrick
Everett in the little Anglican Church by Rev. Biggars, and the
couple lived happily until 1915, when Mr. Everett passed away at
the age of 81. Only two close relatives survive, her daughter,
Mrs. Laura Hale, and her son, Alvin, both of whom reside on
Highland Ave. home. Four children, two sons, and two daughters
predeceased their mother. She was the eldest and last survivor of
the six children in the Forsyth family. Her sister, Mrs. Louise
Anthony of Detroit, who was a year younger, died 3 years ago and
will be remembered only by those residents of Fort Erie who were
in the eighties when she left the area. Funeral services will be
held from the home on Thursday afternoon at 2 p.m. with Rev.
William Burt in charge. Interment will be in St. Paul's Cemetery.
Notes for P ATRICK
EVERETT:
Patrick Everett was born at the boundary of Bertie and
Willoughby Twps., near Black Creek, in the year 1834. He lived on
his parents farm until he was 17 years of age. He ten moved to
Victoria to a place on the riverfront, where he was employed by
Captain Freebury, a very progressive boatman on the river at the
time. It wasn't long before he became a boatowner himself and a
Captain, and he was for years the most cheerful forryman on the
Upper Niagara, between Chippawa and Fort Erie. He had a contract
to supply wood for the Buffalo Municipal offices. The wood he
gathered along the river from Fort Erie to Victoria, and to
Chippawa. The wood was carried on scews, and they in turn were
pulled by tug power. He knew all there was to know about the
river, its currents, its shallows, and in particular Devil's Half
Acre, a stretch of water between Catherine and Gilmour Road.
During the Fenian Raids his boat was captured by the troops. He
got it back several weeks later and continued to work along the
Niagara. When he was old enough to retire, Mr. Everett bought
himself a boat livery at the foot of Bowen road, and for twenty
years it was the haunt of every school boy. In March of 1865 he
married a Miss Olive Forsyth the daughter of Isaac Brock Forsyth.
They had six children, three girls and three boys, Mrs. George
Hale, Mrs. John Jax, Mrs. Fred W. Hale, and Alvin and Ernest of
Victoria. One child died young. Ernest worked on the railroad and
was also killed at an early age. Alvin was an Engineer on the
Ferries and lived to an old age, dying in the Welland home. Mr.
and Mrs. Everett after their marriage lived in a house on Highland
Ave. on the north side just up from the river. It was bought by a
Ray Willson and later remodeled. The building is still standing.
