18001	The first 8 of Livonia Township Schools "Dr. Micah Adams Winter 1830/31" Michigan was a pioneer in developing a sound school system in the Mid-West, and as a result it passed many territorial acts dealing with school problems. The Land Ordinance of 1785, set aside section 16, of every township, to be used by schools. This was problem number one since there was no tax levied for schools, and they were unable to sell or lease land out of section 16, who would pay to promote any education. In a legislative address in 1826, Governor Lewis Cass asked the council to come up with a plan for the establishment of public schools. These to be supported in part by the public and administered by public officers, for the good of all children in the territory. The council was unable to devise a new plan, and therefore adopted a modification of the Massachussetts district plan. The Act of the Establishment of Common Schools of 1827. This stated that every township with fity familes would "be provided with a good schoolmaster-of good morals, to teach children to read and write, and to instruct them in the English or French language, a well as in arithmetic, orthography, and decent behavior." The townships with fifty or more families were expected to maintain school for six months each year. If the students were scattered over the township's 36 square mile boundries, it was expected that the area would divid into districts. Failure to obey would bring a fine of up to $150 with the penalty money to be turned over to the county treasurer. Then, it could be given to the districts that met the law and were in need of financial assistance. By 1828, legislature passsed a petition in Congress given the township ability to manage Section 16, in a manner that might produce revenue for public education. It was that this time, the lands were sold or leased and the funds used to operate the public schools. According to Melvin Osband, a pioneer in this area, he attended a school located at the northeast corner of what is now Wayne Road and Ann Arbor Trail, which was built in 1828. His father, William Osband built and raised the framing, Ebenezer Smith and James Bucklin finished woodwork inside, ceiling walls and windows, Marcus Swift built the chimney with reclaimed brick he obtained from Alanson Thomas of Dearborn. The plaster was completed by Norton Noble who after running out of mortar, mixed his own from area lime and clay. Ball point pens, fountain pens or steel pens, were all items of the future, the writing tool from this day was usually a goose, turkey or turkey-buzzard quill. Lead pencils, although found in some ares in the East by the 1820's, had not reached Michigan when its first schools were opened. Textbooks varied, and ranged from Webster's Readers and Spellers to Bibles. The desks were boards nailed to the sides of the walls, while the seats were wood slabs with legs driven into holes on the underside. At first, the firewood for winter classes was furnished by the parents according to the number of children attending the school, and those students whose parents who failed to contribute were seating furthest from the woodstove. Later the wood was purchased by the school board with the tax revenue money. The Schwarzburg School, was first supported by private individuals such as Norton Noble, James Kipp, Silas Dean, Martin Frazier, and Ebenezer Smith. Later the taxes and individuals both contributed. Schwarzburg's first school teachers were: Miss Eunice Whitney Summer 1830 Dr. Micah Adams Winter 1830/31 Miss Jane Lewis Summer 1831 Mr Tillotson Munger WInter 1831/32 Miss Abby Goodspeed Summer 1832 John D. Corey Winter 1832/33 Miss Polly Noble Summer 1833 The school building itself was also used for church services, singing groups, and township meetings. The school continued to exsist into the 1860's. School District #9 was originally (1831) part of Old Nankin, and held their first school board meeting on November 26, 1831, they would continue with their meetings until 1837, when a new primary school law was passed which promised more financial aid, and Newburgh became District #8, comprised of land Sections 29, 30, 31, 32, and the southern half of sections 19 & 20. Under the 1837 school law, section 16 alnds were to be sold at public auction with a minimum price of $8 an acre. The first parcel sold was the northwest quarter of 160 acres to Abail Wood on September 5, 1837. In all, seven parcels were sold, the last one on September 25, 1841 to William Vickery. Another was sold to Washington Meeks, who was the first to make his payment on April 23, 1842. Until it was torn town in 1964, the Briggs School was the oldest school building in Livonia, built in 1859 at the south-east corner of Six Mile Road and Newburgh. It had only one reoom with high ceilings and windows, with a bell perched in a cupola on the roof. Within its school yard, Briggs had one water pump, a red barn for the fire wood, and two bright red out-houses. It was used for a school until 1945, and eventually demolished in 1964. Five different schools have been built within the Briggs school district since it was organized in 1835. The first was a log cabin, located on the northwest corner of Five Mile and Newburgh. A second log cabin school was built on the northeast corner. A few years later, a frame house was built at teh southwest corner of Newburgh and Six Mile Roads. This school did not meet with the approval of some of the parents, and was replaced three quarters of a miles west, on the land of Luther Briggs, they named it Log Seminary. This school was in operation a few years, and by 1859 a brick built replaced the structure, and re-named back to Briggs School. The Livonia school with the longest continuous history is the Newburgh School. It was erected as a log school in 1830. It was replaced in the 1860's with a frame building and four room brick building in 1922. It was later used as a social center and workshop for mentally and physically handicapped adults. The Gaffney School located on Six Mile and Middlebelt Roads became the Wilcox School of modern day Livonia. The Pierson School on Seven Mile Road near Farmington Road was first replaced in the 1930's with a brick stucture and later used as just an elementary level school until 1970. The Tamarack or Livonia School was located in the center of the township. It also has been replaced three times, and was originally used as a school and town hall meeting center. The Clarenceville School in Fractional District #5, Livonia-Farmington-Redford, has the most complicated history. Because of its location on boundaries that spilled over into three different townships. This was originally District #1, however it lost that identity when one of its borders crossed from Wayne County to Oakland County. The Elm School was a result of a merger of the Chapman and the Bell Schools. The Chapman School of District #6 was located on the southeast corner of Plymouth and Middlebelt Roads, on land owned by A.L. Chapman. The Bell School stood opposite the courthouse on the wast side of Middlebelt Road, halfway between Schoolcraft and Five Mile Road on land owned by James W. Hendryx. On September 7, 1868, the voters of District #6, decided to set a school site south of the Howell Rail Road that could also contain a post office, a store, the rail road station, and a cheese factory. One acre of land was purchased for $50 and built a 26-foot frame structure similar to the Cooper School located south of District #6. With the opening of the successful subdivision, Rosedale Gardens, 10 lots were purchased in Section 34, from Sheldon Sons Company, and used as a new site for the school. The new school was completed in September 1927, but Byron E. Miller, architect, Michigan Contractor Building, advertisers, and John L. Beecher Company, contractor. The first PTA was organized in the Newburgh School on December 1, 1922, almost one year after the first PTA was organized in Redford Township. By March 1924, Briggs and Elm followed with their own branches of this organization. In 1944, all disticts of Livonia were considering consolidation, however due to the numerous arguements and problems, all of the district in Livonia, except the Clarenceville district, annexed. Districts such as Cooper, Westland and Nankin Mills ehter voted to become part of Livonia's district, or were eventually forced into it by the State of Michigan. This rapid growth in population made the School Board of Livonia, its second largest employer in the city. http://www.reocities.com/histmich/livoniaschools.html ****************	Adams, Micah (I1)

First Book of Records 1660-1752, US/Can 974.723 K2l, p.120 child #4 The baptismal records of Cornelia & Daniel were the only baptisms of the 6 children found in the records & one of these, Cornelia, had been in the Dutch Church of Brooklyn & the other, Daniel in, New York. As the family at this time lived on Staten Island, it was necessary in order to baptize these children to make in addition to several miles travel over land, about a six-mile journey over water. Because these two children were baptized in churches other than on Staten Island, and because the Dutch Church on Staten Island had been destroyed & their records lost, This assumption seems verified by Clute, P.256, in his Annals of Staten Island, by the following; " In 1714, Gov. Hunter executed a grant to the reformed Protestant Dutch Church, to build a new church on the North Shore. Probably on the site of the one, as was said above, existed thirty-four yrs. before." Not withstanding the fact that baptismal records of only two of the six children of Capt. Cornelius Corssen & Marretje Vandergrift were found in the records, it has been possible by the record of deeds, by which Catherine, Christian, Cornelia And Benjamin conveyed their one-sixth interest in the estate of their deceased father to their brother, Jacob, and the record of a census of Staten Is., taken about 1706, to definitely fix the number and names of Capt. Cornelius Corssens surviving children & to determine the year of birth. Cornelius Corsen & his family removed to Staten Is. about 1678. Here Capt. Cornelius raised his family, destined to become one of the most influential on the Island & one of the largest land owners in the County.	Corssen, Cornelius Capt. (I511)

18019	The Kingsland Line In an earlier article I wrote about Nathaniel Board of Boardville (Ringwood) who married Mary Kingsland on Nov. 20, 1799. The Kingsland line begins with the Viscount Kingsland of England who had at least two sons: Robert and Nathaniel. Robert Kingsland was born in 1622 in England, married in England, and had at least two sons: Isaac Kingsland and Gustavus Kingsland. Robert removed to the colonies and settled at New Barbados Neck, Bergen County, N.J. Robert died there in 1647. Isaac Kingsland was born in 1648 and married Elizabeth Berry in 1679 in Monmouth County. Isaac inherited a large tract of land in Barbadoes, West Indies from his uncle, Major Nathaniel Kingsland. Isaac and Elizabeth had at least seven children including: Edmund Kingsland who married Mary Pinhorne, daughter of William Pinhorne and Mary Ingoldsby; John Kingsland; Mary Kingsland; Hester Kingsland who married Philipus Arentse Schuyler, son of Arent Schuyler and Janneke Teller; Elizabeth Kingsland; Francis Kingsland; and Isaac Kingsland. Colonel Edmund Kingsland was born in 1670 at Barbados Neck, Bergen County. He was commissioner under the Bill of Credit Act in 1723. Edmund and Mary had at least four children including: William Kingsland who married Margretta Coerten, daughter of Hendrick Coerten and Elizabeth De Reimer; John Kingsland; Isaac Kingsland who married Elizabeth Dow and Johanna Schuyler, daughter of Philipus Arentse Schuyler and Hester Kingsland; and a daughter, Hester Kingsland. Isaac Kingsland was born July 10, 1710 in Sanford Springs, Essex County. He married Johanna Schuyler on June 3, 1741 at Bergen. He was Sheriff of Bergen in 1764. Isaac and Johanna had at least five children including: Edmund Kingsland who married first Mary Wilkinson and second Ann Low; Philip Schuyler Kingsland; Mary Kingsland; Peter Kingsland; and Hester Kingsland. Edmund Kingsland had six children by Mary Wilkinson and 11 children by Ann Low, his second wife. Edmund settled at Pompton Plains. Edmund and Ann had 11 children including: Edmund; Maria; Elizabeth; Abram; Peter; Johannah; Margaret; William; Janet; Johannah; and Mary who married Nathaniel Board of Boardville. Nathaniel Board and Mary Kingsland were married on Nov. 20, 1799. Colonel Nathaniel Board, also known as the Honorable Nathaniel Board, and Mary Kingsland had at least eight children including: John Ford Board, Edmund Kingsland Board; Mary Ann Board; Peter Board; Eleanor "Lena" Board; Harriet Board; Sarah Jane Board; and David James Board. All of their children were born in Pompton Township in what was then the area known as Boardville. The wives of these early settlers are of ancestral stock every bit as interesting as the ancestral lines of their husbands. From time to time I will focus on the maternal lines of the early settlers of olde Pompton Township as we follow in their footsteps. http://www.northjersey.com/community/history/more_history_news/200825001_Mathematically_managing_maternal_lines.html?c=y&page=2	Kingsland, Isaac (I1212)

Chapter 94 Sketch XCIV Died With Their Boots On?The Messacar Family The words ?died with their boots on,? is a well-known figurative expression applied to those who cling to life tenaciously, persevering in their worldly undertakings until, over-come by an accumulation of infirmities, they drop dead in their tracks. In this sense, to die with one?s boots on is to stubbornly resist the ills that flesh is heir to, pursuing life?s purposes with the plodding patience of the cart-horse that falls in the traces while pulling at his load. But the expression is applied to the subjects of this sketch in a literal sense. The two pioneer heads of the Messacar[1] family, of Townsend, died with their boots on. One was found in the woods where the limb of a tree had fallen upon him, and the other was found in the woods with a plank in his arms where he had fallen dead while engaged in repairing a bridge. High water had floated some of the planks off the stringers of the bridge and the old pioneer was engaged in the work of replacing them. Not returning when expected a search was made, which resulted in the finding of his dead body. He had picked up one of the stray planks and was in the act of carrying it to the bridge when he fell dead. He was lying in the mud, with his arms tightly clasped about the plank. This was Abraham Messacar, who settled on the Nanticoke Creek, near the present Rockford Post-office. The Messacars came from New Jersey with the Slaghts.[2] Abraham Messacar married Sarah, daughter of the original Job Slaght, in New Jersey. He had two children?Abraham and Job?when the family came to Canada. They were quite young at the time, and while en route the pack horse on which they rode took fright at the sudden appearance of an Indian in paint and feathers, and threw off both children. It was a great experience for the youngsters, and they never forgot it. Mr. Messacar built and operated one of Townsend?s pioneer sawmills. The white pine timber in the vicinity of the mill was as good in quality as any in the county, and during the old pioneer?s time nothing but prime, clear logs taken from a virgin forest was sawed into lumber at this mill. Abraham Messacar had seven sons?Abraham, Job, Henry, Nicholas, John, Caleb and William; and two daughters?Mary and Elizabeth.[3] Abraham, eldest son of Abraham, was born in New Jersey. He married Margaret Beal, settled at Rockford, and succeeded his father in the milling business. He had three sons?Eli C., Horace G., and Rolph; and ten daughters?Hannah, Sarah, Mary Jane, Hortense, Martha Ann, Harriet, Ellen, Celia, Margaret E. and Ruth H. Job, second son of Abraham, was born in New Jersey. He was married three times. By his first wife, Hannah Yerks, he had five sons?Abraham, James, Aaron, George and Edwin; and six daughters?Eliza, Sarah, Arvilla, Maria, Lorinda and Mary. By his second wife, Elizabeth Landon, he had one son, Enoch. By his third wife, Esther Ann Bowlby, he had five sons?Alfred, Louis, David, Adam and John A.; and two daughters?Frances and Lucy. Job Messacar had nineteen children and his brother thirteen, making thirty-two in all. A father and son in the Parney family had thirty-nine children, and in these four Townsend families were seventy-one children, all Parneys and Messacars. Job settled at Rockford, or Nanticoke Falls, as it was called by our grandfathers.[4] Henry, third son of Abraham, was twice married. By his first wife he had three sons?Warren, John and William; and three daughters?Mary, Martha and Melinda. By his second wife he had two daughters. He settled in Michigan.[5] Nicholas, fourth son of Abraham, married Sarah Wymer, by whom he had one son. Subsequently he married Getty Yerks, by whom he had four sons?Hiram, Eli, Louis and Alford.[6] John, fifth son of Abraham, married Lutitia Esmond, of Norwich, and settled just north of Waterford. By this marriage he had one daughter. Subsequently he married Eliza Gilbert, by whom he had two sons?Gilbert and Allen; and one daughter, Susanna.[7] Caleb, sixth son of Abraham, was twice married. He settled in Townsend and had two daughters by his first wife; and one son, John and one daughter, Rosey, by his second wife.[8] William, seventh and youngest son of Abraham, married Phoebe Lawrence, and settled in Townsend. He had one son, Charles; and four daughters?Jane, Ann, Augusta and Anice. Mary and Elizabeth, daughters of the original Abraham, married, respectively, _____ Murphy and Dr. Pomeroy.[9] John Messacar, pioneer head of the other branch of the family, settled north of Waterford. As before stated, he was accidently killed in the woods by a branch of a tree falling upon him. He had five sons?Henry, John, William, Abraham and Matthew; and two daughters?Mary and Sarah.[10] Henry, eldest son of John, married Anna Chambers, and settled on the homestead. He had one son, Levi; and three daughters?Euphemia, Nancy and Hannah. John, second son of John, married Sarah Clouse, and settled south of Waterford. He had four sons?Louis, John, Aaron and Abraham; and three daughters?Elizabeth, Amanda and Mary Jane.[11] William, third son of John, married Anna Slaght, and settled in Burford, where he raised a family. Abraham, fourth son of John, married Martha Walker, and settled near Waterford. He had four sons?Walker, Eli, Alexander and Levi; and three daughters Mary, Sarah and Euphemia.[12] Matthew, fifth son of John, married Mary Clouse, and settled in Oakland, where he raised a family. John Messacar, late of Houghton, was a son of Matthew.[13] [1] The first generation who came to Norfolk County signed their surname ?Masecar?. Subsequent generations adopted variant spellings, including ?Messacar? and ?Messecar?. [2] Owen?s statement that the Slaght and Masecar families came from New Jersey together is disputable. On May 14, 1796, Abraham Masecar filed a petition to the Executive Council of Upper Canada stating that he came into the province ?about nine months ago? which would make his arrival about July or August 1795 (Upper Canada Land Petition ?M? Bundle 2, Doc. No. 157). Job Slaght sold his 220 acre farm at Newton, Sussex County, New Jersey on May 2, 1796. On October 5, 1796, he stated that he ?lately removed to the Province? (Upper Canada Land Petition ?S? Bundle 2, Doc. No. 79). [3] Abraham, who spelled his surname ?Massecar?, married first to Hannah Scovill, a daughter of Dr. Champion Scovill. She died in May 1825 and was buried in Rockford United Church Cemetery in Townsend Twp. She and Abraham had an only child Scovill Massecar who died thirteen days after birth in 1825 and was buried in Boston Baptist Church Cemetery. [4] Job who spelled his surname ?Massecar? lived on Lot 3, Concession 7, Townsend Township east of Round Plains. The daughter named by Owen as ?Lorinda? was actually Clorinda in the 1852 Census and her marriage record to Isaac Losee on March 3, 1857, recorded in the Talbot District Marriage Register. [5] Henry who spelled his surname ?Messecar? settled in Michigan then moved to Cedar, Lake County, Indiana. In addition to those mentioned, he had an oldest son by his first wife, Arthur. By his second wife he had four daughters: Catherine born c. 1847, Sarah born c. 1850, Eliza born c. 1852 and Emeyea born c. 1855, recorded with him in the censuses. [6] Nicholas Masecar was born on October 25, 1805 making him younger than his brothers John and Caleb. Nicholas and his first wife Sarah had a son Andrew, born in 1828 and died in 1840, buried in Oakland Cemetery, Brant County. The youngest son of the second marriage was Alfred. [7] John Masecar?s daughter of the first marriage was Lettisia Marie. By his second wife, John has a daughter Rosannah recorded with him in the 1852 Census. Owen might be confusing her with his stated Susannah. [8] Caleb, who spelled his surname ?Massecar,? married first to Mary A. Brooks, who was recorded with him in the 1852 Census of Townsend Twp. The daughters listed with them were Lucy, born c. 1842 and Sarah E., born c. 1844. Caleb married second on June 14, 1870, Eleanor Clouse. He had a son born to this marriage, named Joseph Henry whom Owen named as John. [9] Mary Masecar married Arthur Murphy. Elizabeth Masecar married Dr. Rufus Pomeroy on June 6, 1816. This information was contained in a letter from Elizabeth to her brother-in-law Arthur Murphy. [10] John Masecar?s son Matthew was born on March 7, 1792 making him older than his brothers John, William and Abraham. [11] John Messecar had additional children who died young and were buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Waterford: Elias, born in 1829, died on September 12, 1832; Sarah Jane, born on April 25, 1835, died on December 1, 1861, Wesley, born in 1841, died on April 8, 1845, and Horace, born in 1843, died on March 25, 1845. [12] Abraham who spelled his surname ?Messecar? had another son Lewis, born c. 1844 and a daughter Margaret, born c. 1844 living with him in the 1852 Census of Townsend Twp. [13] Matthew who spelled his surname ?Messecar? married first to Mary Clouse who died in 1832. He then remarried to Lydia McCombs and had a second family. Lydia died on 31 Mar 1843 and Matthew married a third time to Hannah (Richards) Doughance. All were buried in Oakland Cemetery, Brant County. The John Messecar of Houghton Twp. was a grandson of Matthew and son of Hiram Messecar. https://sites.google.com/site/longpointsettlers/owen-chapter-37	Messacar, Abraham (I714)
18039	The Long Point Settlers Dedicated to the history and genealogy of the early families in Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada. This site was created to help family researchers in their quest for ancestral knowledge. SKETCH LXXXI THE OLD PULPIT VETERAN OF WATERFORD Rev. A. Slaght, of Waterford, is the grandson of Job Slaght, who, with his two brothers, Richard and John[1], came to Upper Canada from New Jersey in the early days of Long Point settlement. It has been said that the original Slaght brothers were U.E. Loyalists, but this is a mistake so far at least as Job is concerned, as shown by a copy of the Magisterial Certificate? ?STATE OF NEW JERSEY, SUSSEX COUNTY. ?This may certify that on the 6th day of August 1777, before me, I the undersigned, one of the justices in and for Sussex county, voluntarily appeared Job Slaght, and took and subscribed the oath of abjuration and allegiance, as by law directed. (Signed) ?Thomas Anderson.? It will thus be seen that Job Slaght was a citizen of the new Republic the year following the Declaration of Independence, whatever he may have been previously. In the Waterford home of the subject of this sketch may be seen the old family Bible of Job Slaght, which bears the following bold inscription on the fly-leaf: ?Job Slaght, his book, bought of Holmes & Pemberton, 3rd December, 1793.? And just here it will not be out of place to state that in the studio of Rev. A. Slaght are many choice old heirlooms which were brought from New Jersey by his grandfather more than a hundred years ago. In this collection are some twenty-five specimens of old colonial paper currency of New Jersey, of various designs and denominational values. They are rare old specimens of great value. Mr. Israel Slaght, of Waterford, also has a number of similar specimens, one of which he mailed to the Queen; and her Majesty was so well pleased with it that she acknowledged the favour by letter and presented Mr. Slaght with a beautiful portrait of herself. In a little wooden box, with a hinged lid fastened with a wire hook, may be seen a pair of nose-glasses which, no doubt, came from ?Faterland? among the personal effects of old Hendrick Slacht.[2] In the old trunk are mechanical tools, bullet moulds, spoon moulds, the old outfit for obtaining fire, and various other relics of a by-gone age, sad reminders of the crude lives that befell to the lot of our brave old foundation-builders. One of the most highly valued souvenirs in Elder Slaght?s collection is the silver medal won by his father, Aaron Slaght, in the war of 1812. Job Slaght had a New Jersey neighbor who was the owner of an incorrigible hog, as evidenced by the following old relic: ?December 15th, 1785. ?One hog trespassing on Job Slaght, damage price by us, the under subscribers, at twelve shillings and sixpence. ?Azariah Smalley. ?Ichabod Bidell.? In 1796, Job Slaght came to Upper Canada with his family. After remaining about a year at Niagara, the family came up to Long Point settlement, and settled on Lots 8 and 9, in the 8th concession of Townsend. While at Niagara, Mr. Slaght purchased 1,400 acres of land from James Secord, taking his bond for a deed. He was a blacksmith by trade, and came to Canada with considerable means for those times. The family came up along the lake shore in company with others, and brought horses, cows and other stock with them. Aaron, the youngest son in the family, was three years old, and rode on the back of a horse with his mother when they came up from Niagara in 1797, just one hundred years ago.[3] The maiden name of the old pioneer mother was Elizabeth Johnson, who possessed all the sterling qualities of character that so signally distinguished her family. The original Avery Mill at Waterford was built with money furnished by Job Slaght. In 1805, he was appointed Constable for Townsend.[4] In Job Slaght?s family were fourteen children, eight of whom were living in 1807, when he made his will. The names of his five sons were?Henry, Job, Cornelius, John and Aaron. The three daughters mentioned in the will are?Elizabeth, Mary and Sarah. Henry Slaght, eldest son of Job, married Abigail Heminover, and settled north of Waterford. He had two sons?Job and Parney; and two daughters?Elizabeth and Mary. Job Slaght, second son of Job, married Patience Robinson, and settled near the ?Five Bridges,? Townsend. By this marriage he had three sons-Philip, Matthias and Darius; and three daughters-Lavinia, Hannah and Lydia. Subsequently he married Elizabeth Mills, by whom he had seven sons?Silas, Hiram, James, Israel, Job, John and Levi; and three daughters?Louisa, Melinda and Ellen. The Israel Slaght referred to as having presented Her Majesty with a specimen of old continental money, is of this family. He has in his possession an antiquated tin trunk, in which the old New Jersey title deeds are being carefully preserved. Cornelius Slaght, third son of Job, married Anna Dudbridge, and settled at Nanticoke Falls, Townsend. When his eldest son, Nathaniel, was eighteen years old, the family moved to Michigan in two covered wagons drawn by oxen. They settled in Ionia County, and subsequently, Nathaniel became interested in the lumbering business. John Slaght, fourth son of Job, married into the Malcolm family, and settled near Scotland, where he raised a family.[5] Aaron Slaght, fifth and youngest son of Job, married Mrs. William Clark, nee Catherine Whitehead. By her first marriage she had one son, who was no less a personage than the late Colonel Thomas W. Clark, of Waterford. Mrs. Clark was left a widow and a mother at the age of eighteen. By this marriage Mr. Slaght had three sons?Lewis, Hugh and Aaron. Lewis died at the age of twenty-four; Hugh married Eunice Kellum; and Aaron, the youngest son of Aaron, is the subject of this sketch. Rev. Aaron Slaght, who died in his 76th year, since this sketch was first written, was not only a pulpit veteran, but was one of the best known business men in Norfolk. He led a busy life, and was a busy man right up to his last illness. He was born in 1822, and the first twenty years of his life were spent on the farm. In 1842 he entered the Baptist College at Montreal, from which he graduated in due time. While pursuing his studies he also attended lectures at McGill College. Shortly after completing his theological course, he married Lucy A. Whitney, of Stanbridge, Eastern Townships, and settled in Waterford, where he immediately began his ministerial work. This was in 1845, there being no church organization in Waterford at that time. Some time previously Job Loder had erected a little chapel, and the religious meetings held therein had been of a non-denominational order. At the close of the young Baptist preacher?s third year he had succeeded in organizing a Baptist church, consisting of eight members. This was in 1846, and Elder Slaght was the last survivor of this little pioneer church as at first constituted. Mr. Loder generously donated the chapel to the new church by deed of conveyance. It had been used for general purposes and was quite out of repair, but it was put in good shape, and the membership increased rapidly. One of the first resolutions put on record, after the chapel became the sole property of the Baptists and was put in proper repair, was to the effect of granting the privilege of its use, alternately, to the Methodists and other denominations. Surely, the general community at this time had no reason to complain of uncharitableness on the part of the pioneer Baptist church of Waterford. Elder Slaght had charge of the Waterford Baptist Church for thirty-six years, and when he resigned his pastorate, in 1882, he had built a magnificent church edifice, costing $15,000, and had increased the membership to 360 communicants. But this is not all. During these thirty-six years seven churches had been founded in outlying sections, and no man was more instrumental in accomplishing this work than Elder Slaght. During this time he built up a church at Round Plains of sixty members, added a score or more to Simcoe church, and baptized as many as twenty-five in a day for Bloomsburg, while pastor of that church. At the time of his resignation the population of Waterford and Townsend was about 8,000, one-eighth of which were Baptist communicants. When he returned from the silver mines of Colorado in 1886, he took up the work at Lynnville, with only eleven members, and at the end of a five-years? pastorate he had built up a church of sixty members. He had no statistics showing the number of persons baptized, or the number of conjugal knots tied by him, but the number of burial services conducted by this old veteran foots up to about 1,300, including many of the old pioneer preachers. He buried a large number of the old pioneers, including the first white female settler in the township of Townsend. Notwithstanding the many pastoral duties which have always crowded thick and fast upon the life of Elder Slaght, he was never without secular employment connected with important interests, demanding much thought and a large amount of executive force and business ability. He was always an agriculturalist. He operated a nursery for about fifteen years, and was engaged in the milling and shipping business for about the same number of years in connection with his father. While engaged in the latter business the firm suffered fire losses amounting to $20,000. the annual volume of business conducted by them was very large-having reached, in some years, the respectable sum of $200,000. Last fall he and his partner consumed 22,000 bushels of apples in their evaporating works, and two years ago they furnished a market for 25,000 bushels. In 1890 Elder Slaght was appointed Inspector of Mines for the Province of Ontario, and the duties of this office alone would have worried many a younger man. By virtue of his official position he was a Justice of the Peace, a fact not generally known. He was always interested in the cause of education, having served in ?ye olden time? as a local superintendent of schools in his native township for a period of ten years. Elder Slaght was twice married. By his first wife he had two daughters?Lucy Ann and Mary Helen. They became the first and second wives of Dr. Backhouse. In 1849, Mrs. Slaght died, and subsequently Mr. Slaght married Sylvia A., daughter of Philip Beemer, by whom he had one son, T. R. Slaght, the Simcoe lawyer; and three daughters?Theresa, who died young; R. Minnie, who died single at the age of twenty-four, and Katie B., who occupies the old home with her mother. Sarah, the eldest daughter of the original Job married Abraham Messacar, and settled on the round plains. Her children are enumerated in the Messacar genealogy. Elizabeth, second daughter of the original Job, married Ezra Parney. Her children are enumerated in the Parney genealogy. Mary, youngest daughter of the original Job, married John Barber. Her children are enumerated in the Barber genealogy. Job Slaght, the old pioneer, made his will August 18th, 1807, which was witnessed by Benjamin Caryl and John Muckle. In this will he devised two hundred acres of land to each of his five sons, and one hundred acres to each of his three daughters, and bequeathed his personal property equally among them. For a general sketch of the Slaght family, see ?The Sons of Old Hendrick Slacht.? [1] This was not Job?s brother John born in 1741, but a probable nephew of John born in 1763. See Footnote 2 in Sketch XXVIII. [2] The Slaght ancestors came to America in 1654 and Hendrick Slaght was born here, a descendant of Cornelis Barentse Slaght who came from Woerden, Holland about 1654 and settled at Kingston, Ulster County, New York. See Footnote 1 in Sketch XXVIII. [3] In May 1797, Job Slaght purchased from Paul Averill 200 acres of land in Lot 9, Concession 8, Townsend Twp. for £81.5.10. By August 12, 1800, the date of a joint Averill-Slaght petition, Job had thirty-five acres cleared and erected buildings where he resided with his family. Source: Upper Canada Land Petition ?A? Bundle 5, Doc. No. 7. According to the Job Slaght family bible, youngest son Aaron was born on 15 Aug 1792, which would make him four years old in May 1797. A copy of the family register page is in the Norfolk Historical Society Archives. [4] The Minutes of the London District Court specifically state that this appointment went to Job Slaght Junior. Fraser: Minutes of The Court of the Quarter Sessions of the London District, p. 74 [5] Again Owen has confused the several John Slaght?s who lived in the same area. John Slaght, son of Job, born on January 15, 1783 married Elizabeth Clouse. John purchased Lot 10, Concession 5, Townsend Township from his father Job on February 3, 1807, recorded in the Abstracts of Deeds Register. John Slaght lived out his life there and his will dated at Townsend Township. on 16 February 16, 1843 named his children Abraham, Orsan and Jane Slaght. (Norfolk County Surrogate Registry) The John Slaght who married into the Malcolm family might have been another relation. Henry Slaght, brother of Job Slaght and son of Hendrick Slaght of New Jersey, went in the Exodus of New York to New Brunswick. The Malcolm family also lived in New Brunswick and Mary Malcolm married to John Slaght, born in 1789, died in 1851. The Malcolms and John Slaght settled at Oakland Township, Brant County. https://sites.google.com/site/longpointsettlers/owen-chapter-81	Slaght, Job (I716)
