TIMELINE

Ontario was known as: "Upper Canada" from December 26, 1791, to February 10, 1841; "Canada West" from February 10, 1841, to July 1, 1867; and "Ontario" after July 1, 1867.

From Kay Koslan

So, I thought about a little more about George Wood Armstrong and what do you suppose was the reason that he put Captain John Wood on that tombstone along with Mary Polly Wood and John H. Armstrong And I do believe that John H. Armstrong died in Canada. George Wood Armstrong put all those postings in all those newspapers because he wanted that land. And if Captain John Wood and John H. Armstrong and Mary Polly (Wood) were buried in Canada, he probably wouldn’t have a good case. So he brought Captain John Wood, a  Canadian citizen, and I’ll bet John H. Armstrong, back to NY. And Mary Polly (Wood) Armstrong was living with her son, James Delos Armstrong, in the 1850 census after John H. Armstrong’s death, while Jeremiah Frazier Armstrong remained in Canada as a Wood Miller, right near where  John H. Armstrong was a Miller.

LYONS, N. Y., Feb. 27. - George W. Armstrong, living near Oswego, lays claim as one of the heirs of Captain John Wood of Revolutionary fame to1,800 acres of choice farming land in Sterling, Cayuga county, and Wolcott and Butler, Wayne County, under letters patent issued to Captain Wood on Jan. 16, 1797. The property Is assessed at $50,000 and is said to worth three times that sum. Capt. Wood served in the Revolutionary army. He was taken as a prisoner to Quebec.

WAYNE.

Owners of Twelve Hundred Acres Land Very Much Worried.

Upon the outcome of action now in progress in Cayuga county, hangs the fate of a large number of property holders in the towns of Wolcott and Butler, in Wayne county, who have for years held undisputed title to the farms and homes they occupy, many of them holding by inheritance from father and grandfather. George W. Armstrong, residing near Oswego, in behalf of himself and forty-two other persons claiming to be descendants of one Captain John Wood, of Revolutionary fame, it is feared, is about to lay claim to 600 acres of the best land in the town of Wolcott and 600 acres in the town of Butler, by virtue of letters patent granted January 16, 1795. The grant was for 1,800 acres, including 600 acres in the town of Sterling, in Cayuga county, which adjoins Wolcott and Butler. Upon the last mentioned parcel proceedings have already been begun. Captain John Wood was taken prisoner by the British during the Revolution and was confined in a Quebec prison four years. During his absence his family forsook the old home near Boston and crossed the border to reside in Canada. At the close of the war Captain Wood was granted letters patent which stand recorded in book No. 8 of military patents, page 276, January 26. 1795. The grant bears the signature of Governor George Clinton, and attested by Robert Harpur, deputy secretary of state. 'The document has recently been recorded in the Wayne county clerk's office. Last Friday constables served notice upon each of the several holders of the 600 acres in Cayuga county, ordering them to vacate within thirty days or show cause. No action has as yet been instituted in Wayne county. It is possible that a test will first be made in Cayuga county. The Wayne county lands involved is valued at $100,000. Mr. Armstrong, the claimant, is well backed by funds and counsel.
