• Notes

  From "Two Hundred Years With The Siders" compiled by Harold Sider and Ron Sider - Jacob and Mary were born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and lived there until 1788 when they moved to Canada with their three oldest children and settled in the Niagara District. Their first home was in the Pelham area, but a few years later they made their home near Stevensville. They were pioneer farmers, clearing forested land to develop land for farming. They were members of the River Brethern or Tunker Church in Canada. Jacob demonstrated significant success as a farmer and businessman. He owned land totalling 900 acres in Bertie and Willoughby Townships, and was able to help his children get settled on farms of their own.
