Two Andrew Ten Eycks and the 1793 Move to Canada

Two different articles pertaining to, two Andrew Ten Eycks' of Dunham, Quebec, Canada were located and transcribed. The first was was done circa 1999 by a 5th cousin and the second was done in 1941 by my grandfather. In the first article, Andrew talks about his great-grandfather Andrew Ten Eyck leaving Albany in 1793, carrying his possessions to Canada. The second article is a death announcement of the great-grandson, but there is more information about the great-grandfather than the newly departed.

"Mr. Andrew Ten Eyck has in his possession several articles of household furniture and farm implements that his great-grandfather brought from Albany in 1793, at the time he settled in Dunham.  Among the articles of interest we noticed an armchair, the history of which dates back to the early days of the colonists, previous to the Revolutionary War.  This ancient heir-loom has been handed down from father to son for five generations and is held by the family as a relic of priceless value.  Mr. Ten Eyck has a broad axe with which his grandsire hewed the logs into shape previous to building his first residence in the woods; also a red coat* formerly worn by his predecessors at the time New York was besieged by the Continental forces.  The coat is one of the "swallow tail" pattern, with the usual amount of yellow braid and gilt buttons.

The above articles are well preserved. Another memento of the past held by our worthy friend is a copy of the London Times, bearing the date of November 7th, 1805, containing a full account of the Battle of Trafalgar and the death of Lord Nelson.  The battle was fought on Monday, October 21st, the news of which was 16 days in reaching England.  Mr. Ten Eyck has also many articles equally interesting to the antiquarian and geologist, with a well kept library, containing the works of nearly all the poets and leading historians of the present age."
* I wrote about the red coat, post was titled: Was it a Revolutionary War Red Coat, or Made Before?

The above was from The Waterloo Advertiser, Friday, February 10, 1893, Waterloo, Shefford Co., PQ (National Library of Canada N-66948) -- Sent to me by Jim Johnson, a 5th cousin through our Westover line.

The obituary of Andrew Ten Eyck (above), died Nov. 24, 1898 (from The Waterloo Advertiser, Dec. 9, 1898 newspaper) was copied by Earle K. Bishop, Nov. 17, 1941 (my grandfather and husband of my grandmother, Sarah Ten Eyck).

"It is with a feeling of sadness that I announce the death of Mr. Ten Eyck of Dunham, who died November 24, 1898, at the age of 80 years. Mr. Ten Eyck was a great grandson of Andrew Ten Eyck, an early pioneer who emigrated after the Revolutionary War and settled near Albany, NY, where he remained until 1795 or 1796 when he removed to Dunham with his family, where with other United Empire Loyalists at that time received a grant of land from the British government, a gift of which he was doomed not long to enjoy, his death taking place in 1799. Hendrick Ten Eyck, a son of the pioneer, came into possession of his father's property after his death, but not for long.  He died in 1816. Andrew Ten Eyck, the father of the late Andrew Ten Eyck lately deceased, fell heir to Hendrick Ten Eyck's property and remained on the homestead until 1831, the date of his death, leaving two sons and two daughters to inherit his wealth, all of whom are now dead, Andrew being the last one of the family.  Of the many hardships endured by the Ten Eyck family during the Revolutionary War a volume might have been written, as they were persecute from place to place by the enemies of Great Britain, who claimed the honor of having established a government where all men were made free and equal.  At one time, Andrew Ten Eyck the pioneer and another man were arrested and carried on board an American craft that was lying off New York harbor and was ready to sail on the following morning as a privateer.  During the night the two men with the aid of ropes let themselves down into the water and started to swim to the New Jersey shore three-fourths of a mile away, but were quickly discovered by the ship's crew, who commenced firing at them at close range tearing up the water around them.  Ten Eyck escaped to the shore, where he sat down and waited for his companion, whose fate was never known.  The Ten Eycks were true men who would sacrifice everything but honor in behalf of a friend in trouble, and the world of today is made better of their having lived."

The Father and Two Sons, Their Loyalist Documentation, and my Loyal Cousin

The document I am writing about is about the best you can get, especially since it was dated 1797. It lists not only my ancestor's surname of Teneick / Ten Eyck but those of his sons, his military career in New Jersey, his move to Nova Scotia with other Loyalists, a return to New York, then a move to Canada. Why haven't I written about this, let's go to the beginning.

Fourteen years ago, I spent endless days at the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) in Boston, tracing my Canadian ancestry, the roots of my Canadian grandmother. I located so many records for about 6 of my ancestors there, and ended up copying about 100 pages (about $40 worth). Going reel by reel, and printing the correct pages, but the copied pages were almost impossible to read, because I reversed the microfilm reader to negative, or maybe it was already set that way (black background with white print). No, I never asked for help! 

I told of my woes in a post almost five years called, Positive vs. Negative and the Drouin Collection, explaining how I couldn't read a document because of an error I made in copying them.

Fast forward, I didn't do anything with the printed pages, except write about it in the above mentioned blog. So why am I writing about my problem? A 5th cousin wrote me twice. First in January 2013 with a few questions of which I answered in my reply. No further correspondence until March of 2015. This time, we shared quite a bit of information, and one of the things I mentioned was a 9 page document under the title, Land Grant Petition Andries Ten Eyck in Quebec 17 Nov 1797. She was quite interested in it, so I decided it was a perfect time to go back to NEHGS and get "positive" pages. With the help of Rhonda McClure, I was shown how to use their new microfilm scanner/ printer and was able to save my 9 pages to a thumb drive. Soon, the images were on their way to cousin, Susie.

First to find my film, I had to locate the index (shown below in the small box labeled Q4 Index, L5 Spencer, Jonah - Tyse, Index 16. Once I found the name of Andries Ten Eyck in the index, it is imperative to write down the page number. The next step is to find the large box, with the actual film, in this case it was number 16 and search for the correct page for Ten Eyck.

There is a much easier way to locate these records, online for free. The link for that post is called, "What a Great site for Free Canadian Records."

Above is my old copy, and below is the recent one, beginning with the first page of the document, #91279. Now, somebody could read it, but not me. Due to several eye conditions, this was difficult, but before I knew it, cousin Susie gifted me a wonderful surprise. (Note: since the surname is towards the end of the alphabet, this page number is rather large. It give you an indication of how many pages were scanned for this collection.)

The below was typed by my cousin, Susie.

                  Land Grant Petition Andries Ten Eyck in Quebec, 17 Nov 1797

To His Excellency Robert Prescott Esq. Captain General and commander in chief in and over the Provinces of upper Canada and lower Canada, Vice Admiral of the same, General and commander in chief of all the Majesty 's Forces in the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and their several Dependencies and in the Island of Newfoundland

     The Petition of Andries Teneick in behalf of himself and his sons, Andries Teneick and Henry Teneick

Humbly therewith

    That your Excellancy's Petitioner has ever been attached to British Government that as early as the year 1753 he was appointed an officer in the Nova Caesarea in New Jersey Militia by His Excellency Jonathan Belcher Esq.  that in the year 1757 your Excellency's Petitioner  was appointed Adjutant of the said New Jersey Militia; that in the year 1759 your Excellancy's Petitioner was appointed a Captain of the said  New Jersey Militia by His Excellency Francis Bernard, Esq and in which situation your Excellency's Petitioner  remained until the year 1763 most of the time in the frontier, on actual service against the French and Indians. That in the year 1770 your Excellency, Petitioner moved from New Jersey into the State of New York. That in the beginning of the late rebellion in America your Excellency, Petitioner took an active part in favor of British Government that in the year 1776 your excellency's Petitioner received a Commision as a Captain for the purpose of raising a company under James Houghton Esq who was authorized by his Excellency General Howe to raise a Provincial Regiment but unfortunately the Rebels got information of the same and in consequence tried, condemmed and executed the said James Houghton  Esq for High Treason. Your Excellency's Petitioner was likewise arrested, but had time to destroy all his papers and not sufficient proof appearing against him to be executed he was inprisoned and sent to Esopus and put on board a guard ship in irons, from whence your Excellency's Petitioner found means to escape in the night in company with one other prisoner by getting off their irons and swimming on shore, but unfortunately in the attempt they were discovered and fired on by which means, your Excellency's Petitioner lost his companion, and being banished his home, made the best of his way to NewYork where he remained until Peace took place at which time he went to Nova Scotia with a number of other Loyalists, but finding it was impossible for him to make a living in  that country he was obliged to return to New York; when his Excellency's Petitioner was informed that the waste lands of the Crown in the province of Lower Canada were to be granted, he left the United States and came into Canada, in order to make settlement therein. Your Excellency's Petitioner has much impaired his constitution, and met with great hopes during the war for which he has not received any compensation his sons likewise were in New York during the war and has been much  harrassed by the Rebels; your Excellency's Petitioner therefore Humbly prays that your Eexcellency will graciously please to grant unto him and  each of his sons Andrew and Henry, twelve hundred acres of land each in the Township of Clifton

Tittemore and More -- Surname Saturday

People with the surname of Tittemore, Tittimore, Tetemore and even Littemore, are probably all in the same family. I don't have a direct line, but I do have a lot of Tittemore names in my database, because there is one small connection. My direct ancestor, James Gibbins Pell's daughter Mary Elizabeth Pell married Herbert Eugene Tittemore. Mary and Herbert left Quebec, Canada and settled in California.That is perhaps what Donna saw before she wrote me a letter, part is below. And, along with the message, she sent me a great family photo, with no names. It is my hope somebody will eventually find their way to this post and the photo and recognize somebody. Below is a report on the individuals I have in my tree. Thank you Donna for writing and sharing your photo, I can't wait for the time when I can tell you who these people are.

"Hello - I found your “Roots Web” post about the Tittemore family. I have been researching information on this family today, as it is possible that I have a family portrait of “Tittemores”. The portrait was taken circa 1892 - 1900 in Sacramento, California by Asher Photography. There is a rather “blurred” name in the photograph (upper right corner) that appears to be maybe “Tittemore”. It is the only thing I have to go on as to the people in the photograph.

The Tittemore family is not related to me. I found the old photograph in the laundry room of my mother in law (Mrs Warner) who passed at age 90 in 1995. Because of it’s age, I have stored it, thinking the people might be related to my husband’s family.

My research so far finds - There is a Tittimore buried in the Sacramento City Cemetery. There is an article in the Woodland Daily Democrat dated Feb 1902 regarding the estate of one T W Tittimore, executor H E Tittimore. Woodland is about 20 minutes from Sacramento.

Anyway.. If you are interested, I have attached a jpeg of the photograph if you would like to see it. Perhaps the information about the Tittemore estate in Woodland will be of help to you.

Good Luck in your research.. "

Close-ups of the individuals are shown below, with a label, which is difficult to read.

Corey, from Quebec, Canada to California -- Surname Saturday

I was very happy to hear from Ed McGowan in April, 2013, when he  located me online by using the name of Jane Elizabeth Rosenberger. Jane had married Reuben Corey, both were from Missisquoi County in Quebec, an area where many of my ancestors were from. They were his great-grandparents. Jane Elizabeth Rosenberger was my 2nd cousin 3x removed.

Reuben Corey 1838-1914 was married to Jane Elizabeth Rosenberger 1844-1902. What's unusual is they were both born in the same area in Quebec, married in Vermont and migrated to southern California, had three children there, then died in California.

The Corey line was added into my tree and perhaps this information will help somebody.

Westover, A New Branch To Me -- Surname Saturday

During the past several months, I've been working with several individuals on their lines. One was for the Westover surname. The reason Jack Westover contacted me was because he saw my RootsWeb site had over 1,000 of that surname. I was delighted when he offered to share his Amasa's lineage, since I didn't have anything more than just the name. Jack is allowing me to share and hopefully, it will help somebody. Amasa's father, Moses was my 5th great-grandfather, and was both a Revolutionary War Patriot from Massachusetts who became a Loyalist and settled in Quebec, Canada. (Moses is listed below as the father to Amasa.)
