• Burial*: 19 June 1829; White's Cemetery, Sidney Twp., Hastings Co., Upper Canada; FindaGrave: Name: Mathias Marsh; BIRTH: 1763, Vermont, USA; DEATH: 1829 (aged 65–66), Ontario, Canada; BURIAL:
  Whites Cemetery, Bayside, Hastings County, Ontario, Canada; MEMORIAL ID: 172805996; Note: By the time the American Revolution broke out, Matthias Marsh UE was residing with his parents in Manchester, a town in the future Vermont. His parents were William Marsh 1738-1816 and Sarah French 1741-1820. William began the War as an officer in the Green Mountain Boys hence the designation "Colonel" which stuck with him. In 1777 William switched to the British and for the duration of the War and indeed afterwards he worked in the Secret Service and was back and forth between Vermont and Quebec a number of times. Matthias was born in 1763 so still quite young when the War began. He never joined a Loyalist Corps, and he remained in the Manchester area during the War. Why then was he retained on The Executive Council List and not expunged as so many sons of Loyalists were? The picture that is emerging is that he was involved on site with the Secret Service work for his father and would have been well placed to know many of the key players such as the Allens. Matthias married Sarah Richardson in Manchester in 1783. Sarah was the daughter of Nathan Richardson a Rebel originally from Connecticut.
  Before 1790 Matthias and Sarah were in the Bay of Quinte area, and Sarah is supposed to have drowned in the Trent River in 1810. While not a lot is known about her, Matthias's second wife was reportedly a Mrs. Dickson. Matthias resided in Sidney Township, Hastings County. In 1801 he proposed the first bridge over the Trent River, but it was left to the next generation to complete the project. Matthias was dead by 1829 and he is likely buried in Whites Cemetery just east of Trenton. Matthias's most famous descendant is the Rt. Hon. Lester B. Pearson.

  Note: Wilson Brown suggests that there are two Johnson Marsh's we are dealing with, based on records for Johnson Marsh and sons John and George in Vermont as late as the early 1840's. Research in Ontario suggests that this is, in fact, the Johnson Marsh who was a son of Col. William Marsh and Sarah French. He and his family remained in Vermont until they obtained land grants in St. Vincent Twp, Grey Co., Ontario, namely Conc 12, Lot 6.

• Note: 1820; East Dorset, Bennington Co., Vermont, U.S.A.; "The families in the 1820 census are in East Dorset on what is now Rt. 7A. (East Dorset is just part of Dorset, not a separate town.) It was quite good land, particularly to the west. The eastern mountains are Green Mountains, steep, with acidic soils, while Morse Hill and Dorset Mtn to the west are part of the Taconic range, and are less steep, and limey. The center of Dorset is what was called Dorset Mtn, now Mt. Aeolus, and its core is marble. The house William Marsh owned is still there, and I think Johnson was probably living in it in 1820. The Deming house, also mentioned in the census, is also still there. On the 1810 census, Col. Marsh himself is there and just north are his daughter Charlotte and husband, Jesse Southwick and 7 of their kids. (It is even possible it is the back of Marsh's house, which was older and had a separate entrance.)" per email from Wilson Brown, June 21 2010²

He had acquired the Assignments for the Crown Land Grants that were due his sister Elizabeth (Marsh) Sexton and his sister-in-law Jane (Ostram) Marsh and was asking for an extension of the time stipulated for completing Settlement Duties. Jonathan Sexton had died much earlier and Elizabeth would die in 1841. Samuel Marsh, husband of Jane Ostram, had died in 1820.¹¹
• Residence: 1843; Conc 12 Lot 6, St. Vincent Twp., Grey Co., Ontario; "BIOGRAPHY: "Asa had become unhappy with conditions in Carrying Place and Brighton, and had been looking for opportunities that might come along. Grey County had been open to prospective settlers for about twenty years. There was still crown land available and the prospects for successful venture looked good.
  Asa applied for and received a land grant in St. Vincent Township. The grant had been obtained through his efforts at Toronto. The crown had granted him the east half of lots 7 and 8 in the XIIth Concessions. We think Asa had visited the land in 1858. He probably travelled by rail to Collingwood, and by steamship to Meaford. For the rest of the trip he may have rented a horse and wagon in Meaford and driven to his property. The 15, 16 sideroad, and the Xith line road and possibly part of 9, 10 sideroad would have been passable at that time."

  Note: This info suggests C. W. Marsh was writing this in 1902. The Death Registration of Johnson Marsh shows that he was age 92 in 1872. Also, the location of Port Sarnia seems wrong. The Death Registration is simply St. Vincent Twp. where he lived - that's a long way away from Sarnia.
