- 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"

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.)
