• Notes

  Writer Recalls Many of The Pioneer Families and Their Descendants DISTRICT DATES BACK TO 1827 TO UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS One of the earliest pioneers to Kingsmill was William Teeple, better known as "Big Teeple", who arrived from Ireland in 1840 and who was largely instrumental in the building of Kingsmill. This early pioneer also owned all the land between Orwell and the 9th Concession. Their family consisted of two sons, James and Stephen, and a daughter Mary. James Teeple resided where Mervin Ashton now resides, while Stephen Teeple, who married Ella Sweet, a sister of John Sweet of the 8th Concession of Malahide, located on Frank Stover's place. Following Mary's marriage her home was north of Orwell near the old flowing well where Harold Cleaver now resides. .....Simon Hoover was another pioneer of Pennsylvania Dutch, who in 1839 settled where his great grandson Claud Hoover now resides on the 12th concession. Simon Hoover first resided in the Welland district..... .....Early history reveals that the road past Gordon Kilmer's did not always exist. Just why that road became a given road was due to the generosity of Claud Hoover's grandfather Jesse Hoover and Dan VanAse, who lived where Lewis Doan later lived and also a man by the name of Heniker, who resided on the Gordon Kilmer farm; each gave over a rod off their farms for this new road - thus opening a route, which has been greatly appreciated by so many down through the years.....
