• Notes

  Patrick Long (1748 -1809) was born in Ireland and he married Elizabeth Stewart (1751-1810) in Ireland. Patrick Long came from Ireland to Fort Pitt in 1791, then to Upper Canada about 1795. He came with other Irish settlers: Matthew Gilmore, George and John Nicholson, John, Patrick and Alexander McKee. On Alexander Aitken's 1795 survey Lot 19, Concession 1, Walpole is to go to Patrick Long. By 1807 Patrick Long had purchased Lot 19 in Concession 2, Walpole and Lots 17, 18 and 19 in Concession 3 Walpole. This and the Woodhouse land totalled 1288 acres more or less. 1795 - Crown to Patrick Long - Lot 19, Concession 1, Walpole, 200 acres (300 acres including overplus) 1796 - Patrick Long requested Lot 1, Concession 1, Rainham but didn't receive it. 1801 - Patrick Long purchased part of Lot 10, Concession 1, Woodhouse, 60 acres. 1803 - Patrick Long leased Lot 9, Concession 1, Woodhouse, 200 acres. 1805 - Patrick Long purchased Lot 19, Concession 2, Walpole, 200 acres. 1805 - Patrick Long purchased Lot 19, Concession 3, Walpole, 200 acres. 1807 - Patrick Long purchased part of Lot 10, Concession 1, Woodhouse, 28 acres. 1807 - Patrick Long purchased Lot 18, Concession 3, Walpole, 200 acres. 1807 - Patrick Long purchased Lot 17, Concession 3, Walpole, 200 acres. Though Patrick Long himself had moved to Lot 10, Concession 1, Woodhouse by 1801 some of his family remained in the Cheapside area. The oldest son David Long married Dorothy Dennis, a daughter Margaret/Peggy married Robert Davis, and a daughter Mary/Polly married Ellis Buckley, and these three remained on the Walpole land. Patrick Long died in 1809 and was buried in the cemetery at Doan's Hollow, Woodhouse Township. Patrick Long's daughter Elizabeth married John DeCow, and in 1833 Thomas Dowdle who received the Crown Patent to Lot 18, Concession 2, Walpole sold the north half, 100 acres, to Patrick Long's son in law John DeCow for £75. Patrick's son David had a mill on the creek north of Cheapside on what was called Long's Creek, a dry branch of the Sandusk Creek. His son Robert also had a mill at Varency, which his descendants operated into the early 1900s. This was on the Nanticoke Creek where it flows back and forth across the Walpole-Woodhouse line from Haldimand County to Norfolk County.
