3. | Abraham Wintemute (1.Benjamin1) was born in 1793. Notes:
His date of baptism was April 12, 1793. The baptism was performed by the Rector of St Mark's Niagara-on-the-Lake
Officially, Abraham died in November of 1812 from an illness contracted while on duty as a gunner in the 2nd Regiment of Provincial Artillery. At that time he was over 21 years of age. He died unmarried.
Robert Moore (77 Metcalfe Street; St Thomas Ontario N5R 3K6; Tel 519-631-6065; e-mail rmoore@wwdc.com) believes that he did not die, but that his father claimed that he died and applied for land on behalf of his son Abram who was killed in
the war of 1812. Then Abraham "went west"
Born c1793 (G/S) transcript, may be incorrect, and reflect the age (97) given in Cemetery transcripts. The Kilmer Book states that he died age 97 thus born in 1793 but the info was taken from the cemetery transcripts as well.

Married by A. Dobbie J.P. London District Marriage Register page 67.
Abraham petitioned for land in 1844 and received as a free grant the West ½ of Lot 22 Concession 9 Bayham Township Elgin County He must have sold the land shortly thereafter as he purchased from the Crown the South ½ of Lot 23 Concession 12
Dereham Township Oxford County in April 1846.
There is no record in the Elgin County Land registry office of him owning any of lot 22 Concession 9 Bayham The crown patents were issued in 1844 for the North ½ of the lot and in 1849 for the South ½ (many early land transactions were never
registered and eventually a subsequent owner had to petition the Crown for a patent event tho he might have acquired the property many years previously.)
Grace Noad advises that Abram was a witness at the marriage of Philip Kilmer (brother to Elizabeth Kilmer Wintermute) to Peter Laur.
In the 1851 census Abraham age 50 is living in Dereham Township Oxford County, occupation shingle maker with wife Elizabeth and 9 children
He is shown on the 1857 Oxford County Tremaines map on 50 acres South ½ of South ½ of Lot 23 Concession 12 Dereham. (Second lot west of Brownsville-Corinth Road on the Bayham Dereham Town line).
At the time of the 1861 census Abram was still in Dereham Township. In the 1861 Agricultural Census of Dereham, Abram is shown on 50 acres of Lot 23 Concession 12 with 25 acres cleared of which 19 acres was in crops and 6 in pasture with value
of farm at $800.
A land search of South ½ of Lot 23 Concession 12 Dereham shows that the South ½ was not patented until 15 July 1862 and then by a "Robert Peacock." How much legal interest Abram had in the property is not known. Was he just a squatter or had
he acquired the land and just not gotten it patented ?? (check Dereham township papers and assessment records if there are any)
Abram is shown on Malahide Township Concession 8 Lot 34 North ½ of East ½ 50 acres on 1864 Tremaines Map. A Title search does not show him as being an owner so he was likely just a tenant. There is no record in the Elgin County Land registry
