  • Notes 

    • From "Memoirs Garden" by Annie (Shoup) Brewe, passages written by Rev. Willis Shoup in 1944

      The story of the 'Shoup' homestead is centered around the farm and neighbourhood of Lot 14, Concession 3, Walpole. In the year 1844, Sarah Wagonner, our Great-Grandmother, came with her husband and younger children. Practically all these farms have been sold by the descendants of the early settlers, so that by now most of them are owned and tilled by strange hands. The fifth generation of Shoups now live on the old homestead.....

      When Oscar was two years old, the family, consisting of his grandparents and his father's family, moved from the Niagara River to Walpole township, Haldimand County. Father's grandmother settled on the present homestead, Lot 14, Concession 3, South Walpole. Grandfather, at first, took up residence near the village of Springvale in North Walpole. This exact location is given in an indenture held by the writer. He bought this farm from his uncle Christian Shoup, which was the west half of Lot 2, Concession 15. After two years residence on this farm near Springvale, he and Johnathan Beam, his brother-in-law, exchanged farms. Beam's wife was Sarah Shoup, grandfather's sister. This farm was 100 acres - the north half of Lot 14, Concession 3.....

      Great Grandmother Wagonner came in 1844 with her children Lydia Ann, Fama Eve, and Benjamin. Her farm had been worked by a man named Ketlock (or Matlock). She later moved to the sideroad south of Cheapside on the bank of the Sandusk Creek.
