Transcripts of Documents of the 3rd Regiment of York Militia During the War of 1812 With a Microfilm Index Taken from Library and Archives Canada Reference: RG9, Militia and Defence, Series 1-B-7 Volumes 1, 16-19 From Digital Microfilms On Line at http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/microform-digitization/006003-110.02- e.php?&q2=35&interval=50&sk=0&&PHPSESSID=v7eqsqq9pelq09h71e9obolmhm7en a182piflfvomaujktigni51 Transcribed by Fred Blair Copyright March 3, 2019 Introduction These documents were transcribed here in order by the date of each pay period or muster roll. The microfilm documents were not in this order. There were multiple copies of some documents and those usually included some changes. The transcribers comments appear in square brackets. A number of these payrolls include detachments in which the 3rd York men served with the 1st York and 1st Durham men. Note that there were variations in the spelling of the men’s names. Some men served in more than one company during the war and some were transferred between regiments and corps. It was difficult to ascertain which of the men in the mixed detachments were from the 3rd York Militia. The transcriber has identified as many as possible in each set of Remarks, based upon the same names having been found in other 3rd York companies and detachments. The 3rd York men were present at the Capture of Fort Detroit, the Battle of Queenston Heights, and the Capture of York. Captains Heward and Cameron commanded flank companies at Queenston. For a number of reasons, those payrolls were not found in this collection. The muster area of the 3rd York included the townships north and east of the Town of York. The 1st York Militia mustered from the town and the 2nd York Militia mustered from the townships to the west. This set of documents included muster rolls, pay lists, pay adjustments, officer’s property tax on pay, killed and disabled lists, officer’s commission and promotion dates, retired officer lists, and returns of men and ordnance. As well as routine militia serve, from the document titles and remarks, men were absent with and without leave, deceased, detained by sickness, deserters, disabled, escorting American prisoners, exempted from service, hidden in the woods, impressing teamsters, in companies, in detachments, in gaol, in the cavalry, in rifle companies, in Scotland, in the artillery, in the commissariat, in the engineers department, in the field train department, in the hospital, in the King’s works, in the presidents office, in the transport services, killed, looking for deserters, officer’s servants, omitted from pay lists, on bateaux service, on command, on duty, on furlough, on guard, on parole, on public service, paymaster clerks, prisoners, promoted and demoted, repairing roads, substitutes for other men, sick at home, teamsters, transferred to other companies or regiments like the Incorporated Militia, and wounded. Daily pay rates were: Colonel 17 Shillings Major 16 Shillings Captain 10 Shillings 6 pence Adjutant 8 Shillings 6 pence Lieutenant 6 Shillings 6 pence Quarter Master 6 Shillings 6 pence Ensign 5 Shillings 3 pence Sergeant Major 2 Shillings Sergeant 1 Shilling 4 pence Private 6 pence Officer’s Horse 2 Shillings 6 pence There are at least three other sets of documents from this regiment in other collections. Captain Samuel Ridout’s Order Book is online from Collections Canada at http://data2.archives.ca/e/e435/e010869208.pdf. His May 7, 1814, Muster Roll was also available online but I do not have a source for it. Captain Cameron’s 1812 muster rolls transcription is at http://my.tbaytel.net/bmartin/militia.htm and includes a muster roll of men at the Capture of Fort Detroit. There may be other documents in other collections. If you find more, please let me know.

    Holt Renfrew's 175Th Birthday

    NEWSLETTER The Town of York Historical Society ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ September 2012 Vol. XXVIII No. 3 This year Canadians celebrate a number of CANADIAN RETAILER anniversaries. 50 years ago medicare was introduced CELEBRATES 175 YEARS in Saskatchewan; 100 years ago the Grey Cup and the Calgary Stampede were inaugurated; 200 years ago the Americans declared war on Britain and invaded her territories in Upper and Lower Canada. At the time, many “Canadians” and First Nations joined in their defence. 25 years later, rebellions took place in both Canadas against the same British rule that had been fought for previously. Also in 1837, a new monarch ascended to the throne – the young Victoria – who would rule Britannia and Canada for more than 60 years. In the year of our current Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, we recognize the 175th anniversary of a Canadian retailer who, during Queen Victoria’s reign, became furrier to generations of British royalty. In 1947, Holt Renfrew & Co. was chosen by the Canadian government to design a wedding present for Princess Elizabeth. It was a coat of wild Labrador mink. Many North American women owned furs at the time, but the harsh realities of post-war Britain are evident in the photograph at left in which one man, fists clenched, has not doffed his hat. Princess Elizabeth in her Holt’s mink, a wedding gift from Canada, 1947 Continued on page 2 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ James Scott Howard’s Family Bible Finds Its Way Home On a hot day last August a young couple delivered a very special gift to Toronto’s First Post Office: a bible they had bought at an estate sale.

    Francis Collins First Catholic Journalist in Upper Canada

    CCHA Report, 6(1938-39), 51-66 Francis Collins First Catholic Journalist in Upper Canada BY THE REV. BROTHER ALFRED, F.S.C., LL.D. Francis Collins, the first Catholic Journalist in, Upper Canada,1 friend of liberty and free institutions, advocate of responsible government, founder, proprietor and editor of the “Canadian Freeman,” was born at Newry,2 County Down, Ireland, in 1801. He was endowed by nature with a keen mind and he enjoyed the benefits of a fair education in the Irish schools of the day. On the close of the Napoleonic wars, British sailing vessels were released for trans-Atlantic service, with the result that an ever-rising tide of Irish emigration set in. Following its current, which had already carried many of his oppressed countrymen to larger opportunities and brighter prospects in the new world, Francis Collins sailed for America in 1818. Destiny led him to Upper Canada to the town of York,3 whose foundations had been laid by Lt. Gov. John Graves Simcoe a quarter of a century before, in the year 1796. Already men of Irish blood were making their presence felt on the banks of the Don. After the failure in Ireland of the rebellion of 1798 and the dispersion of the “ United Irishmen,” many members of that organization and their sympathizers fled to America. Not a few found their way to Upper Canada, where, in York, they immediately set up an active agitation for the reform of the government of the province of Upper Canada. They were the real founders of the Reform Party.

Supporters of state-aided Christianity, many of whom were Tories, clashed with critics of close See table of contents church-state ties, many of whom were Reformers. The catalyst for this conflict was the Clergy Reserves endowment. Drawing on works that situate British North American affairs in an expansive interpretive framework, this article Publisher(s) maintains that the Upper Canadian debate over state-aided Christianity was subsumed within a larger conflict regarding the church-state relationship that The Ontario Historical Society originated in early modern England and played itself out across the North Atlantic World.

    118 Yonge Street

    STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act – 118 Yonge Street Date: July 3, 2012 Toronto Preservation Board To: Toronto and East York Community Council From: Director, Urban Design, City Planning Division Wards: Toronto Centre-Rosedale – Ward 28 Reference P:\2012\Cluster B\PLN\HPS\TEYCC\September 11 2012\teHPS37 Number: SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 118 Yonge Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. Located on the northwest corner of Yonge Street and Adelaide Street West, the site was included on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties in 1973. The property owners have submitted an application to demolish the listed building as part of the development of Phase II of the Bay-Adelaide Centre. Following research and evaluation, staff have determined that the property at 118 Yonge Street meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act. The designation of the property would enable City Council to manage alterations to the site, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition. RECOMMENDATIONS The City Planning Division recommends that: 1. City Council state its intention to designate the property at 118 Yonge Street (Elgin Building) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. Staff report for action – Intention to Designate – 118 Yonge Street 1 2. If there are no objections to the designation in accordance with Section 29(6) of the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the bill in Council designating the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.
