    Notes:

    The 'three daughters [of John] married James, Meyer, and Richard Osborne, respectively, and settled in Sophiasburgh".

    Emigration:
    John and his brother, Paul, "came originally from Dutchess county, NY, and are undoubtedly of Dutch extraction".

    Military:
    "He belonged to the 1st Regiment of Ulster Militia in the Revolutionary War (see Brink, History of Saugerties)."

    Land petition:
    Richard Arless Flint found John Trumpour's petition for land in RG1, Manuscript Section, Public Archives of Canada, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, on November 17, 1971.

    Land:
    "Green Point was formerly called Grassy Point. John Trumpour was the first settler there and kept a Public House, the first in the Township."

    Burial:
    [Since there were approximately 9 tombstones and footstones in this cemetery that were illegible, John Trumpour and his wife could be buried there.]

    Burial:
    John could be buried in the Top of the Hill cemetery. This burying ground "was located on County Road 15 (concession 1, SWGP, lot 40 (County Road 15) however nothing remains at the site. Permission was apparently received to build a house upon the property, and this still stands." The Wanamakers recorded 3 burials here. It is believed that the stones were transferred to Glenwood Cemetery, Picton.

    Religion:
    "At one time nearly all of the family [Trumpour] belonged to the Society of Friends".

    Residence:
    John's house at Grassy Point was recorded in Hans Waltimeyer's diary in 1797 as being a place where people stayed and where the Militia trained annually. In 1799, Waltimeyer mentions that Grassy Point used to be an Indian village. "Even though Trumpour's house is here now, they still come occasionally to stay a while".

    Loyalist:
    John "of Sophiasburgh & Ameliasburgh" was listed as "A Loyalist within the British Lines at New York."

    Petition for land:
    "John Trumpour, late of Esopus in the State of New York, prays to be admitted as a settler in this district and to have 200 acres of land assigned. He is brother to Paul Trumpour of Adolphus Town, settled under the Instructions of 1783 and, being otherwise a person of good character, a certificate is granted him for 200 acres and the oath of allegiance administered."

    Petition for land:
    John petitioned for land as a Loyalist and asked for land in the Ninth Township [Murray Township?]. He said that he was "always firmly attached to the British Government and Constitution" and "has come to this settlement with a view to become an inhabitant of it".

He included an affidavit from Peter Van Alstine, Justice of the Peace, saying that John had taken the Oath that the contents of the petition were "true in substance and matter of fact". The Committee replied that John had to "state the number of children which he had in this province previous to 1789".

    Designation:
    Tina's petition says that "your petitioner is the daughter of John Trumpour Senr. of the Township of Sophiasburgh, a U. E. Loyalist".

    Family history:
    "The story is told that when Robert [Curlett] joined the American army his father-in-law, John Trumpour, a dedicated United Empire Loyalist, was so upset that he disowned the Curlett family and influenced the Government to expropriate Robert's land. To date, we have not been able to confirm or refute this story. However, circumstantial evidence tends to refute it. The four sons of Robert Emmet [Curlett] all stayed in the Green Point area. The second son, John [Curlett] lived on land close to where Robert's distillery was said to have been and on land owned by his grandfather."

    Dale Jones emailed me c. 2010 re Doxsee family.

    Language:
    "Archelaus Doxsee came from Long Island, where his parents, who were English, had their home on the Sound, near Brooklyn. The English, living so much among the New Hollanders and intermarrying with them, both languages were in common use; and the Doxsees were almost as conversant in the Dutch tongue as they were with their own."

    Emigration:
    Archelaus brought his family from Long Island to Canada in 1800. "He journeyed north by way of the Mohawk River Valley, striking the St. Lawrence River a little above Clayton."

    Family:
    "The daughters of the pioneer, Archelaus Doxsee, were the mothers and grandmothers of some of the most handsome women in Prince Edward, a county which is said to be inhabited by the men with the good looking sisters".

    Immigration:
    Archelaus brought his family to Canada in 1800. "He did not stop any time at Adolphustown, but crossed over the Bay at once and located at Green Point on the farm adjoining Cole's Wharf. Green, or Grassy Point, was settled earlier than the land that lay to its west and extended immediately towards Northport, and among its early settlers were the Doxsee, Row, Shortt, and Carman families."

    Occupation:
    "It was the pioneer Doxsee who was said to have built the first wagon in the county. As he was skilled in the trade of a wheelwright, he was well fitted for the task. The wagon was a curious structure and crudely primitive. With the exception of the tires, there was no iron employed in its construction - the body, shafts and nuts were made of wood. But it was a welcome means of transport in open weather. In winter, its need was not felt, as jumpers of sleighs proved better substitutes. These sleighs, placed on hardwood runners curved upwards in front, were drawn by yokes of oxen. Heavily laden, they slid over the roots, stumps and boulders with the utmost unconcern. A breakdown was only an incident of the trip; it made no serious hindrance to the progress of the journey; for the early pioneer, like the modern motorist, always carried his kit of tools. If his sleigh could not be mended, the materials to make a new one were always at hand."

    Archelaus married Martha RAYNERNew York, United States. Martha was born in United States; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
