He received a grant of Lots 143, 144, 146 and part of Lot 145 Stamford Township fronting on Niagara Falls and running along the Niagara River from Ferry Street in the north to Dunn Street in the south.

During James Forsyth’s life this area was entirely rural. Later, the village of Drummondville grew up along Ferry Street in the north part of the farm.

James Forsyth’s home was on the present site of the Ukrainian Catholic Church at 6248 Main Street. He built the National Hotel on the south part of Lot 146 near the intersection of Main Street and Stanley Avenue. He sold the hotel to his son-in-law Christopher Buchner in 1799.

Fralick/Frelick, Benjamin (1747-1804) was born to Johannes and Anna Margaretha (Lehman) Frölich, on 19 Apr 1747, and baptized in Kisket near Loonenburg (now Athens), Ulster County, New York. Of Palatine German descent, during colonial times, Benjamin Fralick lived on a ten acre farm in the area of Berne, Albany County, New York along Cobbleskill Creek about ten kilometers west of the city of Albany. This was leased land on the Rensselaerwyck estate owned by the Van Rensselaer family patroons. In his 1787 Claim for Losses, Benjamin  Frelick described his property: “Ten Acres of Land with buildings thereon Erected Live Stock, Grain Household furniture Cooper’s Tools, Farming Utensils &c – valued that time at £190 New York Currency.”

Benjamin Frelick was loyal to the British cause during the American Revolution and, according to his claim for losses “suffered terribly before he quitted Home on account of his Loyalty – obliged to quit Home.” He traveled to Fort Niagara, the British post at the confluence of the Niagara River and Lake Ontario where he joined Butler’s Rangers serving as a sergeant then a corporal. Benjamin Frelick was listed as a Serjeant in John McDonell’s Company of Butler’s Rangers and paid £121.12 at the rate of 5 shillings per day for 177 days of service from 1 May 1778 to 24 Oct 1778.

Following the war, Benjamin Frelick was granted 300 acres of land in Lots 6, 7 and 8, Concession 8, Louth Township, Lincoln County. This was located along the north side of Louth Townline Road and Oille Street. Pelham Road runs through the centre of the lots at the east and west sides of Seventh Street about on kilometer east of the hamlet of Rockway. The Niagara escarpment rises in the south part of Lots 7 and 8.

John Fralick (1755-1839). Some genealogies in Ancestry.com place this John Fralick as a son of Johann Bernhard and Lydia (De Lange) Frolich of Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County, New York. That couple had children baptized in the Reformed Church of Loonenburg (Athens) and Catskill, Ulster County, New York. Among them were Margaretha and Catharina Frolich baptized in Catskill in 1754 and 1756 but no one named John in 1755. There was a Jan in their family but he was baptized much later on 29 Nov 1760 in Catskill. It is possible that John was born between Margaretha and Catharina and not baptized but this does not seem likely.

During the American Revolution, John Fralick was loyal to the British cause and travelled to Fort Niagara, the British post at the confluence of the Niagara River and Lake Ontario where he joined Butler’s Rangers and served in Captain Andrew Bradt’s company.

Following the war, John Fralick settled on 200 acres of land in Lots 115 and 124, Stamford Township, Welland County. 1 This was located between the west side of Dorchester Road and the east side of Montrose Road and north of Leeming Street. In recent times most of Lot 115 has become the interchange for Highway 420 and the Queen Elizabeth Way in the City of Niagara Falls. Lot 124 is subdivided for residential properties and bisected by the Hydro Canal.

Freel, John (1743-1784) immigrated from Ireland in 1767 then farmed on 100 acres of leased land near the village of Johnstown located in the Kingsborough Patent of Tryon (now Fulton) County, New York. At the commencement of the American Revolution, John Freel was loyal to the British cause and in 1775 went with Colonel Guy Johnson to the British outpost of Fort Niagara at the confluence of the Niagara River and Lake Ontario. After six months of service, he was then given permission to rejoin his family in Johnstown. Upon his arrival, he was with four other British subjects held for 18 days during which time he was fed only bread and water, then bound over to keep the peace and released. In Apr 1777 in Lachine, Quebec, he joined Colonel Sir John Johnson’s King’s Royal Regiment of New York as a private soldier and served for a year. Suffering impaired health, he went to Fort Niagara in 1778 where he remained for the remainder of the war serving in the Indian Department, a British military contingent associated with the Six Nations natives.

John Freel died on 3 Mar 1784 while still in the service of the Indian Department leaving his widow with three young children. Deborah Freel was granted 100 acres of land in Lot 24, Niagara Township on the south side of the East West Line between Railroad Street and Concession 2 Road a short distance south of the Town of Niagara (now Niagara-on-the-Lake).

The following is from family lore recorded in Annals of the Forty published by the Grimsby Historical Society: The Freel homestead and Lot 24, Niagara Township is still after a century and a half in the Freel name. The present owner is Jon Henry Freel, a great-great grandson of John and Deborah Freel. The house was built before 1812, probably in 1805 when Hugh Freel married Ann Clinton. It was originally a two story log house but later a large frame addition was built on and the log portion boarded over. In 1925 the house was stuccoed and the owner, John Clinton Freel, then discovered that the old part was of log construction. They also found a large fireplace that they never knew existed—it was directly above the one in the cellar. The home is now a lovely modern home yet the low ceilings, deep windows and the depths of the frames show that it was built in early days. The original timbers can be seen in the small cellar.
