From Roger Harris -
Benjamin and Margaret farmed the South East Quarter of Lot 6, Concession 4 in Rainham Township. They purchased these 49 1/2 acres on the 22nd of June 1863 from Jacob Winger for $1000. They immediately resold 2 acres to a neighbour who was retiring, for $100. and gave Benjamin's parents the right to live there for the rest of their natural lives. It appears that Benjamin was bank-rolled by his father.
Benjamin helped finance the publication of the Haldimand County Atlas in 1879. From this, we learn the year of his birth and that he was a farmer.
The property was sold in January 1888 to a John Nauman (9 1/4 acres) and Peter Sitter Senior (38 1/4 acres) with 1/4 acre being reserved for the Lutheran Church and burying ground. In 1891 Benjamin was listed a Tenant at Lot 6, Concession 3, and in 1895 at Lot 17. We do not know where they moved to from here nor has a Will been found.
