• Married Name: 25 June 1804; Loveless²
• Note*: circa 1806; Upper Canada; Jonathan Greeley's brother, Aaron, was in partnership with Asa Danforth to obtain a township grant and bring lots of settlers to take up the land. By 1797, this approach was discontinued by the goverment of Upper Canada due to what they deemed the dishonesty of many American speculators in submitting lists of settlers that turned out to be fraudulent. The authorities pulled all the exiting township block grants and required individual settlers who were already on the land to apply for their own grants. In the future, individual grants would be only way to get land. While much more difficult for individual settlers, this approach cut out the middle man and ensured a more orderly settlement process. But fixing the problem left lots of people very angry. This fiasco delayed settled in the townships of Percy, Cramahe and Murray as well as others in the Newcastle District (Durham and Northumberland Co.'s). It also resulted in Asa Danforth and Aaron Greeley skipping town to avoid prosecution. Who was to blame and to what degree is still debatable, but, if we look at it objectively, we might put it down to growing pains of a flegling colony. (Dan Buchanan, May 16 2024)
