On their way home on January 25 1805, they undertook a short cut across Burlington Bay on the ice but had gone only a short distance when the ice gave way. People on shore came to help and Benajah said, “Help the Major first: I can keep up”. So a rope was thrown to the Major and he was pulled out.

Among the communities along the way were the village of Mount Pleasant, the hamlets of Oakland and Wilsonville, the village of Waterford and the Town of Simcoe. This was the original wandering Highway 24 before the new route of today heading straight north from Simcoe to the village of Scotland and bypassing the communities. Neil Brown’s next residence was up Mount Pleasant Road in Oakland Township, Brant County where he settled by 1803. The map of Oakland Township below is from the 1875 Historical Atlas of Brant County.

While he was a child, they moved to Falmouth Township, Nova Scotia. His father died there and Samuel’s widowed mother took him to live with John Brown at the old Brown farm at Danvers, Massachusetts. They then moved to Sutton, Massachusetts.

In the first engagement of the American Revolution on April 19, 1775, a small British army on a pre-emptive mission to confiscate powder and weaponry moved towards Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts. Among them, as a 19-year-old private in Capt. John Sibley’s company, marched Samuel Brown Jr., the only one of that name in Sutton. Military records show that Samuel served almost continuously in various units of the Continental Army from then until February 14, 1780, when he finally received his discharge.

He was employed at Fort Niagara, near Youngstown, New York from about 1790 to 1795, during its last years as a British post. During this time he, like other British subjects, had to cross the Niagara River and begin the settlement process in Upper Canada.

In 1795, Samuel Brown purchased from John Foryea the “rights” to Lot 22, Concession 1, Walsingham Township, Norfolk County, Upper Canada and made this his homestead. This was located on Long Point Bay between present St. Williams and Port Rowan. The Samuel Brown land, now severed into a number of properties, originally was 200+ acres, and ran from the lakefront to Concession 2.  Approaching from the north on the main street of St. Williams, a right turn onto the Front Rd. leads past an S-curve to a second S-curve, which is the location of the homestead.

The gravestone of Samuel and Phoebe Brown in Newkirk Cemetery, St. Williams is now weathered and illegible. Howard C. Roberts of Norristown, Pennsylvania wrote of a visit to the cemetery with Samuel’s grandson Isaiah Brown on 14 Aug 1929. He found the inscriptions “in splendid condition considering their age” which read, “In memory of Samuel Brown, died August 25th, 1829, age 75 years, 4 months, and 15 days.

Bryning, John (1770-1853), son of John and Elizabeth Brining, was born in Lancashire, England on 6 Jul 1770. In his youth, John Bryning was apprenticed to a mercantile firm at Liverpool, England and rose to the position of foreman following his apprenticeship. In this capacity he travelled extensively. In the course of his development, John’s religious views differed from the official Church of England and he joined the Congregational faith by which he was licensed to preach. In 1820, John embarked for America. His obituary does not note the short interim residency as a preacher in New Brunswick, mentioned by his other biographer James Dey,4 continuing onto the Long Point Settlement in that year, following his oldest son John. Reverend Bryning taught school for a time and preached in Forestville and Normandale in Charlotteville Township, in Oakland and Mount Pleasant in Brant County and other areas further afield as well.

On 31 Aug 1830, Reverend Bryning was licensed to preach by the United Presbytery of Upper Canada. On 30 Nov 1830, Reverend Bryning was ordained at Mount Pleasant as a pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Canada in connexion with the Church of Scotland. He established churches at Mount Pleasant and Simcoe. Fortnightly, he travelled the considerable distance for the pioneer times of horse and buggy on dirt roads which turned to mire in the rain. His ministry succeeded that of pioneer Reverend Jabez Collver. Like his predecessor, Bryning travelled to remote areas throughout the Long Point settlement and beyond. His October biography in The Presbyterian noted that besides Simcoe, he established more churches at Norwich, Scotland and Brantford.
