Joseph Borden was an emigrant from the United States in the year 1800 and purchased property on Con- cession 8, King Township. He and his wife raised a fam- ily of three. remaining on that property until his death in 1868. His son. Thomas, bought land on Lot 25, Con- cession 6, which he cultivated until 1883 (at which time he retired to a new residence in Lloydtown). Thomas married Jane Dale of King in 1857 and together they had eight children. Thomas Brown is men- tioned by name in several records but the only informa- tion available about a partici- pant in the Rebellion is about Helpmate Information Well. in checking some of the old records. we found that in the proclamation of October 22. 1838 (which of- fered amnesty to the partici- pants in the rebellion) three ycemen are named: Joseph Borden, Edmond Quirk and Thomas Storrow Brown. Ever since the King Town- ship Historical Society erect- ed a cairn in Lloydtown (Sep- tember 24, 1972), much has been said about Jesse Lloyd's part in the Rebellion of 1837. But who were the others from King Township who followed this rebel supporter of William Lyon MacKenzie?

Church News Naturally, not everyone in King was in favor of the up- rising and one such person was Richard Perry of Lot 24, Concession 7, Born in Ireland in 1797, he settled in King in 1831 and was described in one journal as “young. vigor- ous and active". Perry had a genuine attachment for old- fashioned political ideas and had a dislike for the Reform element which culminated in the 1837 Rebellion. At the commencement of the war. he saw the rebels with their pikes painted red and heard them uttering treasonable, menacing words. Perry and his son spent all night pre- paring 65 rounds of ball cart- ridges and before dawn, re- ported to Colonel Dusen at Bond Head prepared to meet the insurgents. Gymnastics John Fleury was the son of Joseph Fleury who purchased Lot 69 on Concession 1 in 1815. John was born in 1818 and in 1837 took up arms in support of the Rebellion. He was taken prisoner and suf- fered confinement for a short period. In 1840 he married Esther Harman and had 16 children (10 of whom lived to adulthood). Chappel Orlin was born in New York State in 1810, came to Canada and settled on Lot 26, Concession 3, which was all bush. In 1837 he married Melinda Heacock by whom he had three chil- dren. During the Mackenzie Revolt he was arrested and confined for one week by a Captain Guthrie. On one of the old maps of King Town- ship, we notice that his first name is spelled Chappell. a man named John R. Brown. The latter came to Canada in 1830 from Ireland and was eventually arrested for com- plicity in the rebellion. He was imprisoned for eight months and afterwards banâ€" nished from the country. After two years he returned and purchased Lot 26 on Concession 8 of King for which he paid the pricely sum of $8 per acre. In 1840 he married Mary Price, a native of Pennsylvania and had 11 children.
