OBITUARY: Canadian Champion, 17 Jun 1869: Adam Book - We have today to chronicle the death of Mr. Adam Book, senr., the oldest settler in the Township of Ancaster, which occurred at his residence yesterday morning. The deceased came to Ancaster in 1789, from New Jersey. His father took up a large tract of land, 200 acres of which was still in the possession of Mr. Book, on which he has resided upwards of 80 years. The deceased gentleman was present at the battle of Lundy's Lane, and took an active part in the stirring events of 1812 under General Brock. Up to within a few hours of his death Mr. Book enjoyed excellent health, having on the day previous returned from Simcoe, where he had been on business. He was a good specimen of a class fast passing away, whose places it will be well for the country, if they are filled by men of like integrity and industry. 8.

Grassie Ladies: Life in the small hamlet of Grassie has been a most rewarding adventure for Mesdames Lydia Elizabeth (Lizzie) Duck, Charlotte (Lottie) Walker and Minnie Irene Duck. A grand total of 250 years has been written in the family album of memories for these three ladies, who have lived in this small community for most of their lives. Family ties and kind neighborhood friends have contributed so much to their reserved ways of country life. Their names can be found on the same family tree, due primarily to marriages associated with their husbands. Mrs. Lizzie Duck, who was 90 years old this summer, has lived in Grassie since 1912 and still likes to talk about the years gone by. She has three grandchildren and three great grandchildren. "My husband and I had a wonderful and successful farming life, considering all the problems of this way of life," she commented. "I like meeting people and I like my friends to come and see me at my home. These lifelong friends mean a lot to me. "I also like visiting. About 35 ladies from the Fulton Church brought me a birthday cake a short time ago. Now I have three cakes after this big party." A Saturday evening buffet supper was held recently at Rock Chapel Church hall in honor of the three Grassie ladies. The supper was supervised by Mesdames Frances Sherritt, Jean Black, Ethel Vickers and Edith Vickers. "I was born in Grassie and lived there all of my life," remarked Mrs. Minnie Duck. "Life has been very good to me for these 80 years, as a mother of two girls and now a grandmother for 11 grandchildren. My grandchildren keep me feeling young again. "I was a public school teacher for 25 years, some before my marriage and the rest after my marriage. I like being part of a big family tree of relatives." The three ladies are related to one another by marriages and the details of such can be found on the Duck family tree of relations. Mrs. Lottie Walker, who has lived in Grassie since 1912 and who now is 80 years old, was born in Bracebridge. She later moved to Calgary, Alberta, then to her present home. This home is regarded as being 100 years old. "I like my grandchildren and I think I have had a very pleasant life," she commented. "I enjoy our family life and also like being a good member of the Grassie Gospel Church. "There have been many changes in things at Grassie partly due to the different people that have moved into the community. There also have been many changes in the church since I first started going to it many years ago." Mrs. Walker still likes to reminisce about the days gone by as a girl in Bracebridge. Music for this family party at Rock Chapel was contributed by Larry Duck at the piano and Stan Black and his violin. Charlotte Golwitzer, young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Golwitzer, blew out the candles on her birthday cake before the cake-cutting ceremony involving the three honoured guests.

Knowlton Twp., Sussex Co., NJ d.bef. 26 Jan 1797 Newark, Lincoln Co., Ontario m., (unknown). HISTORY: Book P, pg. 265 of the Council of Proprietors of West Jersey (survey return dated March 21, 1774, recorded May 5, 1774). The warrant for this land was originally issued to John Bullen (heir-at-law to James Bullen). That warrant passed through several hands between 1768-1774. James Clendening purchased that warrant by deed dated March 19, 1774. The land, originally estimated at 200 acres, was originally located in Hardwick Twp., Sussex Co., NJ Hardwick is the next town northeast of Knowlton Twp. The survey was drawn in a very strange shape, as it includes the inlet and the outlet of Sand Pond (a 16 acre lake), but not most of the middle of the pond. Mr. Clendenin and his family settled on about 8 acres in the northern part of the property, well away from the pond. Very literally, this would have been the only area of tillable ground on the entire 200 acres. The site remains rugged yet truly beautiful. The cleared ground extended to the property line, which was the foot of the Kittatinny Ridge (then called Pahaqualong Mountain -- today, the Appalachian trail is located at the top of that ridge). The cleared area went down to a swamp and the Jacksonburg Creek (then called Stouts Brook). There sat the farm wedged in between the rocky geology of the mountain and the swampy forest below. To say the site was isolated would be an understatement. As the crow flies, the nearest neighbor was at least a mile away at the time. This area was one of the last places in Sussex/Warren Counties to be settled, and was primarily forested. A home was built, although we are unsure of any outbuildings. Ground was cleared, and a few stone rows were built. There, a small hand-dug spring exists that we do not yet know if Mr. Clendening dug, or another later farmer. On December 11, 1778, the New Jersey Legislature passed an act allowing confiscation of lands held by Loyalists. On March 25, 1779, a judgement was entered against Mr. Clendening as a Loyalist, and the State of New Jersey became the owner of this tract. (This information was taken from deed book E-2, page 307, Sussex County Clerk's Office.) In or about 1815, the State transferred the land to Sussex County, which sold the land at auction to a Mr. Smyth. In 1825, Warren County was formed and the county line ran through the old Clendening tract. Most of the property was now located in Hardwick Township, Warren County. The extreme northeastern portion of the property (including the entirety of the plantation) was now located in Stillwater Township, Sussex County. The farm in Hardwick was used during the Clendening ownership, based on physical evidence discovered from the site during the recent archaeological investigation. Steve Kallesser is currently awaiting the archaeologists' report on the site. The websites below have pictures of the farm today. The bottom picture on this page (http://www.nobebosco.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=1) shows some of the archaeology team sitting at the old spring on the Clendening plantation. This picture is also from the Clendening plantation, looking down towards the swamp. (http://www.nobebosco.org/index.php?option=com_easygallery&task=view&cid=273&Itemid=47). MILITARY: In 1778, James fought with Butler's Rangers along with 3 of his sons, Walter, Abraham and James Jr. His son John fought in the War, some say with the King's Standard.

The Tremaine Map, 1858, shows the land divided in two from east to west. In 1854, Philip granted the south string hundred acres to his eldest son Hiram and 1860 granted the north half to his son William Henry, with whom he lived. November 15, 1883, under the power of a mortgage, Duncan McGibbon, a lawyer, became the owner of the north 100 acres. Several others were owners in an interim period but in 1891 Walter Reid Walker, assisted by his brother William David Walker, purchased the north part and returned the Walker homestead to the Walker family. July 27, 1921, Walter R. Walker sold the farm to Thomas J. Reid. Mr. Reid, a first World War pensioner, operated the farm, growing apples and raspberries. To further supplement his income he drove the mail route out of the Milton post office. In the 1930's Mr. Reid contracted with Mr. Fred Babcock to remodel the stone house. Fred Babcock was one of those excellent craftsmen of the era. He redesigned and remodeled the stone house including the addition to the second storey that is so outstanding today. James and Audrea Costigan obtained this property in 1958. The work of remodeling and restoring the beauty of this historic structure has been continued by Audrea Lear-Costigan to the present.
