Dulmage and Mary Jennings Family of David Dulmage and Mary Jennings compiled by John A. Brebner for the Friends of Sandbanks 26th October, 2020 Generation One 1. David Dulmage #83346, b. 15 March 1746 in Rathkeale, County Limerick, Ireland,1,2 d. 25 July 1825* (1840?) in South Bay?, South Marysburgh, Prince Edward County.3 . From "Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, 1904": The Dulmage Family "David Dulmage was born in 1746 in the county of Limerick, Ireland, to which place his ancestors had formerly emigrated from Germany (1709). Dissatisfied with his position in Ireland, he followed the stream of exiles of his own and other German families and settled in America. He married Mary Jennings, who was born in Lancaster county, Pa., January 1st 1747. In the War of Independence David Dulmage took sides with the British, and at its close came as one of the United Empire Loyalists to Canada, and located at the head of South Bay. Three of his children were born before coming to this country, to wit, Elizabeth, born 1771; Margaret ,born 1773, and Jacob, born 1778. "Jacob Dulmage, eldest son of the Pioneer, was for a short time resident of Adolphustown, where he married Sarah Huff, a daughter of Solomon Huff, one of the United Empire Loyalists, who signed the subscription list for the first Methodist Church in Ontario. This list bears date, February 3rd, 1792. He soon moved to South Marysburg, where he met his death by drowning about 1840. From this branch of the Dulmage family is descended C.C. James, Deputy Minister of Agriculture for Ontario. See Huff family. "Margaret Dulmage married Augustus Wright. Their eldest child was the Rev. Daniel Wright, father of Dr. H.H. Wright, of Toronto. By intermarriage with the Huff family the Dulmages are related to the Allisons and Hoovers. Amy Allison, who became Mrs. Gunsalos, says that when the question of her given name was being discussed, it was proposed by her grandmother Hoover, nee Huff, that she should be named Barbara Heck, after their celebrated relative. "William Z . Dulmage, a grandson, has been a Justice of the Peace for many years. In the Rebellion of 1837 William's uncle Peter, marched to Toronto in the ranks of Captain Hudgins' company of Militia. "Edward, the second son of the Pioneer, was, like Nimrod of Jewish patriarchal times, " a mighty hunter." Philip C. Dulmage, a great-grandson of Edward, tells a story of how a certain bear was mistaken for a deer on one occasion. Bound on a hunting expedition, Edward proceeded to the deer lick. Arrived there, he waited patiently till the short twilight was deepening into darkness, when two of his senses assured him that a deer was warily moving towards the lick. Biding his time, he fired, and the deer, as he supposed, fell. He descended, leaving the carcass where it fell for the time being. Returning next morning for his prize, he found a bear weighing over two hundred pounds! Edward was also a successful fisherman and had great skill with the spear. Fishing was then was very productive, and it was nothing unusual for him to return from a day's fishing on the waters of South Bay with two boat loads, filled to the gunwale. Between hunting and fishing - he did little else - Edward made a good living. "Sheldon Dulmage, Edward's son served in the Rebellion of 1837 in the Light Horse Cavalry. He lived five years after his marriage in South Marysburg, and then removed to Athol. Philip C. Dulmage, Sheldon's son, is a large stock, grain and fruit farmer in Athol. His residence and farm fittings are of the kind which do credit to Prince Edward County. Of remarkable physique, he has been fond of displaying his great strength in humorous feats which some of the present residents of Cherry Valley remember. He is a man of substance financially and likely to go farther yet. He enrolled in 1 the militia reserve in the township of Athol in 1869, the captain being W.B. Blakely, a grandson of Colonel James Blakely. "Mary, the youngest daughter of the Pioneer, born 1780, married Owen P. Roblin, born 1774, and thus another connection with a distinguished family was accomplished. See the Roblin family. "Philip Dulmage, ninth child and youngest of the Pioneer, married Lydia Ostrander, and their descendants are among the best and most prominent people of Prince Edward County. He was a man of great energy and perseverance - a typical pioneer - and walked through the forests to Toronto to secure the patent for the lands upon which he settled in South Marysburg."

Tackling the quiz (above) and helping Hazel Baker celebrate her birthday (right). 2 FROM THE VICAR Dear Friends, How do you do your shopping? Are you someone who goes around the supermarket picking and choosing items at random as you pass them or are you someone who goes armed with a list? I am most definitely a list person. Unless I’ve got a list then I’m almost certainly likely to arrive home without the washing powder or the bread. Lists are very useful and if a piece of paper isn’t to hand then I’ll often write my list there on my hand. Carrying large amounts of information around in our heads can sometimes lead Are you someone who to things being overlooked or forgotten. goes around the Forgetting inanimate objects is one supermarket picking and thing, but forgetting people is quite choosing items at random? another. November is the month, it seems, for remembering people. We remember those who gave their lives in the service of their country and we remember those whom we have loved but have gone ahead of us. Lists are therefore an important feature in the month of remembrance. On Sunday 3rd November we will gather at the 5.30pm service to remember those who have died over the last twelve months, and be inviting their families to join with us in worship. Those wishing to remember loved ones will add other names and candles will be lit and memories cherished.

    307817 LCpl William AMEY VC, MM 1/8th Bn Royal Warwickshire Regiment DOB: 5th March 1881, Duddeston, Birmingham DOD: 28th May 1940, Lemington Spa VC - London Gazette: 31st January 1919 Place: Landrecies, France, 4th November 1918 MM – London Gazette – 22nd July 1919 Medals: Victoria Cross, Military Medal, British War Medal, Victory Medal, King George VI Coronation Medal (1937) The VC citation reads, “For most conspicuous bravery on the 4th November 1918 during the attack on Landrecies France, when owing to fog many hostile machine-gun nests were missed by the leading troops. On his own initiative he led his section against a machine gun nest, under heavy fire, drove the garrison into a neighbouring farm and finally captured about 50 prisoners and several machine guns. Later single-handed and under heavy fire, he attacked a machine-gun post in a farm-house, killed two of the garrison and drove the remainder into a cellar until assistance arrived. Subsequently, single-handed he rushed a strongly-held post, capturing 20 (30) prisoners. He displayed throughout the day the highest degree of valour and determination.” His gallantry made the capture of Fauborg Sayer possible and meant that the Battalion reached their objective of the lock on the Canal. The 1/8th Battalion were then employed on salvage work in Cambrais until July 1919 and were demobilised at Birmingham on the 1st August 1919. The Victoria Cross was presented to him by the King at Buckingham Palace on the 22nd February 1919. Grave; Lemington Spa Cemetary Location of Medals: Royal
