1. | Elizabeth Wintemute was born on 28 Jan 1759 in Walpack, Sussex, New Jersey. Notes:
Order in Council 16 April 1811 names her as "Elizabeth Petrie, wife of Joseph Petrie and daughter of Philip Wintermute, U.E." The order was based on her land petition of 31 January 1811 [P10:10] in which she was described as wife of Joseph
Petree of "Haldimand County, Niagara District, U.E." She took the required oathes before Benajah Mallory, J.P., of the London District and requested that he be permitted to act as her agent to locate her land. A will for an older Joseph Petrey
is on file at St Catherines. The will, dated 29 May 1804, describes the testator as "Joseph Petrey of Clinton, County of Lincoln". It mentions only "my son Joseph Pettrey" and "my grandson Joseph Hilts". The grandson was left the bulk of the
estate which included Lots 9 & 10 Con 7 of Clinton. The executors were the grandson and "friend" Adam Miller. There are no papers on file which indicate the date of probate.
