Con. 2, Beckwith Twp. in Aug 1821, William on the E 1/2 and Thomas on the W 1/2....

the National Archives stating his father & brother were already in Canada)
shortly afterwards, and settled on the W 1/2 of Lot 20, Con. 2, Beckwith
Twp. in Aug. 1822.... He died not long after (1823?), and his wife Jane
