    _TODO:
    did John Trumpour have a land petition as SUE? Check index books to land. Check National Archives RG1 Manuscript Section.

    Petition for land:
    He petitioned as the son of John Trumpour UE Loyalist. He included a certification from John Howell, Clerk of the Peace, that said that he had taken the Oath of Allegiance. His petition was received June 6, 1798 and read in council on June 8, 1798. He was recommended for 200 acres with the warrant being issued on July 10, 1798.

    Occupation:
    Possibly it was John who kept the first public house in the Township.

    Marriage witness:
    [There were others named "John Trumpour" around at this time, but it was likely her father who was the witness.] The other marriage witness was William Stinson.

    Land petition:
    He was petitioning for his father's land grant of 200 acres lot 16 concession 9 in Murrary township, then in Newcastle District. The 12-page case file # 40-2360 of the Second Heir & Devisee Commission was from the Archives of Ontario MS 657 microfilm reel 67, microfilm copy made by the Family History Library # 1,314,447, digital file 8345265 with images of microfilm 1,314,447 on FamilySearch, not indexed. Accessed on January 9, 2019.

    Family history:
    John Trumpour Junior petitioned at this time for his father's land in Murray to the Heir and Devisee Committee - as his father's eldest son and heir-at-law.

    Petition for land:
    This was referred to in his petition in 1848 for the property in Murray Township.

    Petition for land:
    He petitioned to get the Patent for concession 9, lot 16 in Murray Township. He had been assigned this land as his father's heir at law and oldest son by the Heir and Devisee Commission in July 1840 in claim 349. Originally the lot had been awarded to his father John Trumpour in July 1797 as 200 acres of Family Land and 142 acres ungranted. However, neither John Senior or John Junior had made any improvements according to the inspection report of the local District Agent, so the Crown Land Department in Montreal decided that John should not get the land title. They were going to sell it to John B. McColl who had petitioned to buy the land.

    Residence:
    He lived here at the time he petitioned for the land in Murray Township.

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

    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".

    "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."
