Origins
Henry Bartholomew was born around 1779 in Pennsylvania and came to Upper Canada in 1800.
Settlement
In 1801 Henry petitioned for land in Markham, where he said he had friends. At that time, he claimed to have a yoke of oxen, a cow, and six sheep.
He was approved for a grant and located on lot 35, concession 7, in Markham Township, York County. The patent was finally issued in 1831.
Occupation
Henry was a farmer.
War of 1812 Service
Henry served as a private in the 1st York Regiment under Captain John Willson from 25 November to 3 December 1812, when he deserted. On 26 September 1813, he rejoined and served under Captain Fenwick until 3 October. He later served under Captain

Jeremiah Travis from 8 to 24 July 1814 and deserted again, then under Captain Stephen Heward from 25 September to 14 October 1814. He was discharged on 14 October, and finally appears in Captain Hewards roll for 25 October 1814 to 24 November 1814 with the notation died 14 October. Other sources say he died of illness while serving on 20 October 1814.
As Major Heward wrote in his certificate, he [Henry] was on duty at the garrison at York in a detachment under my command employed in the engineering department from the 25th day of September 1814 to the fourteenth day of October following on which last mentioned day he was taken very sick and removed to the Town and soon after died."
According to the certificate of Samuel Piper, Ludwick Wideman, and William Brown (testifying on behalf of the widow for a pension), he died on his way home from duty at York, at the house of Mr. Samuel Piper, Markham on or about the 20th of October 1814.
Civic Life
Henry served on the petit jury for the Home District Assizes in 1806,
Family
Henrys widow, Catherine, was approved for a militia pension on 31 December 1817 by the Home District militia pension board on behalf of her children with Henry Bartholomew, who died in the War of 1812. She and the children were no longer receiving the pension by 1828. This is odd, given that the youngest child was born around 1812 and thus would still have been a minor unless that child died.
Henry and Catherine had the following children:
- Mary Bartholomew, born circa 1803.
- Philip Bartholomew, born circa 180607 in Etobicoke Township, York County.
- Abraham Bartholomew, born circa 1808.
- John Bartholomew, born circa 1810.
- Barbara Bartholomew, born circa 1812.

Settlement
John Bassell first appears in the census records for the Township of York in 1804, with a wife and two other adult women.
Although he was granted lot 22, concession 7, in Whitchurch Township in 1803,
Occupation
John was the keeper and crier of the Court of General Sessions for the Home District from 1803 to 1810.
Civic Life
John was a witness at the trial of Paul Richard for larceny at the Home District Assizes in 1799.
Previous Military Service
John served eight years, from 177684, as a drum major in the 1st Battalion of the 84th Regiment (the Royal Highland Emigrants), seven years in the 2nd Battalion of the Canadian Volunteers (as a drum major), and three years in the 46th Regiment, all before 1801.
According to Captain Ferguson of the Royal Canadian Volunteers, he conducted himself in such a manner as to merit the good opinion of all his officers and esteem of his fellow soldiers.
War of 1812 Service
John Bassell served briefly as a private in the 3rd York Regiment Militia under Captain Cameron,
According to the report of the Loyal and Patriotic Society,
on the retreat of the army after their defeat at York, there was neither Medical Officer, Hospital, nor Medicines. Members of the Patriotic Society immediately formed a Hospital, and sent John Bassel to take care of it. His attention to this arduous duty hurt his health before he could be relieved, and after medical Officers had returned, and he could be dismissed, he retired to the country and soon after died, owing to the fatigues he had undergone in waiting upon the sick and wounded.
Family
John Bassell and Helen Cook were married on 1 August 1779 in Montreal.
John and Helen had three unidentified daughters, born before 1784, and one son, Henry John Bassell, who was baptized on 9 June 1782 in Montreal. He probably died prior to 1802.
