    Notes:

    Loyalist:
    Henry Redner of Ameliasburg was described as a "U.E." when his son, Peter Redner, petitioned for land on January 17, 1816.

    Military:
    "When the Redners arrived in 1791, Henry brought with him a wonderful document wherein Lt. Thomas Van Buskirk late of the King's Orange Rangers attested to the loyality of both Henry Redner and his son-in-law James Johnson. Both the King's Orange Rangers and the New Jersey Volunteers recruited from the same areas, and had many similar surnames in the Muster Rolls. Early documents tell us that Henry was a weaver by trade."

    Military:
    "During the Revolutionary War, as the Redners adhered to the Tories and remained loyal to the Crown, their home was attacked. During the affray, Henry was shot, and although not killed, he was badly wounded. The mishap only tended to embitter the dissatisfaction that was felt by the loyalists, and added an animosity that readily caused Henry and his family to emigrate to Canada after peace was declared."

    Military:
    He was in the 4th Battalion of the New Jersey Volunteers under Captain Peter Ruttan.

    Emigration:
    "The Redners were part of that mini-migration from Bergen Co. New Jersey in 1791, which also brought the Wannamakers, Babcocks and Johnsons and may have encouraged the arrival of the Brickmans and Wessels too."

    Petition for land:
    "Henry Redner, late from New Jersey, with a family of five children, and by trade a weaver, applies to be admitted as a settler. He is the father-in-law of James Johnson, and as well as him, is recommended by Lieutenant Buskirk. A certificate for 200 acres of land is granted him and the oath of allegiance administered."

    Family:
    "The Redners were of German origin, but their arrival in America pre-dated the more fully explored Palatine settlement of the early 1700s."

    Residence:
    "The family settled in Adolphustown initially, but by 1800 they were located in Ameliasburgh. As Loyalists, the New Jersey group did draw land, but it was somewhat scattered in areas such as Percy Township, so they purchased Location Tickets and settled near each other in 'The County'."

    Burial:
    "There are no surviving grave markers for Henry and Maria but chances are [that] they are buried either on the farm or at the Dempsey-Cuningham Pioneer Cemetery on Lot 84 where Henry Jr. is buried. A third possibility is Albury Cemetery."

    Death:
    When his son, Peter Redner, petitioned for land on January 17, 1816, his father, Henry Redner of Ameliasburg, was described as "the late" and "deceased".

    Henry married Maria BIELSFELDIN. Maria was born in 1746 in New Jersey, United States; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
