UPPER CANADA LAND PETITIONS
Benjamin Nunn, Samuel Nunn and Joshua Edward Nunn all submitted Land Petitions in early 1797. Their step father William Dunmead stated he was staying at DeCoes in Thorold. Joshua Nunn's petition states that he came into the area with his step father, William Dunmead, so we can assume William Dunmead's wife had died and he had married the widow Nunn and Joshua and Benjamin Nunn are her children. Both Joshua Nunn and William Dunmead make their mark and Benjamin Nunn's says 'for Benjamin Nunn, Paul Averill', and both William Dunmead's and Joshua Nunn's are dated 28th April, 1797, with Benjamin's being dated 9th May, 1797.
