Notities over John Bell Grieve

Buried in Brussells United Cemetery Huron County Ontario.John came to Canada with his parents in 1824. He bought 75 acres of the east half of Lot 15, Con 2 of his father property. Eight children were born to John and his wife Mary on this property. They had a stall in London where they took their produce from their farm to sell. When John had enough money saved, he purchased 150 acres of bush land in McKillop Twp. near Seaforth. The puchase date was 1868 for Lot 20, south half of Con. 11 and south half of Lot 26, Con 11. He bought the west half in 1872.Below is a copy of a Letter sent to Mrs. Chase dated March 27, 1968. It was sent to Robert Lupient - April 26, 1968. It was written by Margaret and John M. Grieve. John M. Grieve was descendant of Elliot Grieve G9. I got the copy from Glenna Jamieson. R. R. 2, Dorchester Ontario, Canada March 27, 1968 Dear Mrs. Chase: Welcome to the Clan It is really interesting to learn about your family in Wisconsin. This is your second letter to us and we have been trying to trace the connections. We are very sorry now that we didn`t get more information from the older generations who kept telling us stories of the family relatives. We are now in our sixties and trying to write the history down for our children. The Grieve family came from Roxboroughshire, Scotland near Jedburgh. Our direct ancestor Elliot Grieve, son of John Grieve and a Lizzie Paisley, came out to Canada in 1819 by way of New York State where he visited a sister, Jean, Mrs. James Beattie, living near Geneva. She had a family of David, Willie, Jimmy, John & Jeanie. We have had no communication with them. Besides sister Jean, Elliot had a brother Walter who went to Australia (This is not likely. Walter had children who settled in Perth County, Ontario and this might account for the mistake?); William who came to Canada and settled near Parkhill; his son, John Grieve, married, Jenny Elliot; and John who married Jane Bell, probably your ancestor although you have his wife`s name as Martha. Elliot and John Grieve and descendants are buried at Pond Mills Cemetery. Elliot Grieve settled on Crown land 100 acres on the 2nd Concession of Westminster Township at Pond Mills. This farm with additional acres was owned by the family until 1960 when the area was annexed by the City of London. The land was sold to be subdivided. The square white brick house where we lived, build in 1860, is still there but the property is being built up with houses, apartments and a large high school. The Wilfred Laurier School. The farm is now called Westminster Park and the Streets named after ones in England. Too bad they couldn`t have used at least one name from Scotland. Pond Mills is a pretty spot, 2 small ponds, and at one time quite a thriving community with a grist mill, a tailor, a shoemaker but now just a pleasant residential area in London. The Grieves, Elliots, Beatties and Batys, early settlers at Pond Mills, were members of the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland, and held services in the school house at Pond Mills. When Jennet Grieve died in 1825 a cemetery was started on the banks of the Pond. The cemetery is still in use and a lot of the dates have been verified from the stones. A Church was built on Concession 3, First Presbyterian Church, now First Westminster United Church with Grieve families still active. You mentioned that your maternal grandfather was John Bell Grieve. I am drawing a family tree and including the knowledge that we have. As you see Elliot # 1 had a brother John married to Jane Bell, and children: Ann, Grizzell, Tom and Jack. They settled on a farm east of the Ponds on the 3rd Concession. We were talking to William Grieve in London last week, 90 years old & a descendant of John Grieve and Jane Bell. His daughter gave us a list of their relatives as recorded in the Bible. They think you are descended from Jack who went to Seaforth. We have a newspaper clipping of a James L. Grieve died 1942 and buried in Maitland Bank Cemetery near Seaforth. When the weather improves we intend going there to see what information and dates we can get. This is a rambling letter but as far as we know all the Grieve folk at Pond Mills were related so you must belong. We have the family Bible with Elliot Grieve`s family recorded and a brief history by Isabella Grieve who died in 1952. In our present family, a sister Margaret, lived in London, a retired teacher, and a brother Dr. Arthur D. Grieve in Montreal. We operate a dairy farm with purebred Holstein cattle. Son William is on the place next to us, our other son, Donald, is taking post grad. work at Cornell University. We lived on the old homestead until it was sold and moved east about ten miles to farms near Dorchester. We are just south of Hwy. 401 # 3, Westminster, interchange # 23. George Grieve and family live on Con. # 3, Westminster, also on a dairy farm. They have two sons: Tom and Jim, attending Agricultural Schools. If we get any more information at Seaforth, we will send it on. Perhaps you will get over here and see us, or if we get out to Wisconsin, we will look you up. Sincerely, Margaret & John Grieve (Mr. and Mrs. John M. Grieve)
