Philip shows on the NY microfiches files as being baptized 1752 , in the Church records at the time of burial it was stated he was 76 years old when he died.




From the information collected as late as  Apr 2003, we know that Peter Creller was born in Red Hook NY. The names of the above children were culled from the records in the register office in Bedford Qc, the known dates from tomb stones in the area. No records of a burial ,nor stones have been found for Philip's wife so it has to be assumed that she passed away before the family arrived in Canada, the fact that Polly Creller had been given the name Kimmel , allows us to assume that her mother may just have beem a Kimmel or (Cammel) as that particular family was among those who appear to have emigrated into the St Armand- Stanbridge area at the same time as the Creller. (The records I have been lead to belive have been transferred to Quebec City rather than being kept in the land records office in Bedford where I first came across them)

Philip is found listed on the 1795 Oaths of Allegiance signed as the Loyalists came into Canada seeking to restart thier life one more time

In 1801 the land grant records show that Peter , Phillips's brother was allocated 1200 acres of land in the Stanbridge township. Lot 2 of concession 6 and lots 22,23,24,25,and 26 in concession 7

The allocation of lots in the township of Stanbridge had been begun in 1796 with a formal request to the then Governor of Lower Canada to have the lots surveyed . After several years and much correpondance the Patents for the land lots were granted (1801) by then several of the inhabitants had managed to clear and improve the principal lot they were expecting to receive legally . Peter had also bid on lots in the township of Sutton but for what ever reasons did not floow through on those purchases.

Rufus inherited lot number 2 , concession 6 in Stanbridge East from his Uncle Peter, whom he kept in a manner suiting to his station until his death Rufus was obligated to ensure that Peter his brother upheld his end of the bargain as he also had inherited a lot of land from his uncle before he died in 1818.

In 1804 Peter Cruller was also listed as owning one half lot number 127 in the St. Armand Concession

Marriage
Birth




Canada Census 1842 - Stanbridge

Unfortuantely only the head of the family was listed in 1842,
we found Edward Clow mentioned as a blacksmith,
there were three people in the household making it uncertain if there might have been an earlier child



New York Census 1850

Searching for John Clow, Mary and Milo , we only found this record on a 1850 report from the USA,
this family was living in Mentz N Y., John is listed as being born in Canada and is a blacksmith.
The problem lies with Milo's birth place and age so we cannot for certain state this is the correct family



1871 Canada Census

What happened, we assume , is that the 1881 census taker confused Milo's last name. John Hauver was married to Hannah Creller. This couple had no children who lived, and so they adopted Milo (who was the son of Hannah's deceased sister, Mary Creller). They raised Milo, and later, they also took in and raised another teenaged neice, Florence Sawyer (who remained behind when her parents moved to Iowa) (Florence was the daughter of Hannah's other sister, Adaline Creller)


In time Milo and Florence married.

In his old age, John Hauver moved in with Milo and Florence, and at the time of the 1881 census, it was John who answered the door and gave the information. In error, the census taker put Milo's name down as Milo Hauver, instead of Milo Clow .

Milo Clow is the son of John Edward Clow and Mary Creller. It is believed that Mary Creller died shortly after the birth of Milo. John Edward died in 1853, when Milo was only 8 years old. John Edward is the son of John Clow Jr. and Catherine Primmerman. John Clow Jr. was the son of Johannes Clow (Clauw) and his wife Bathsheba (Bata) Huyck. Johannes Clow was a Loyalist who settled in Highgate, VT after the American Revolution.

It would appear that Milo was working for the Dominion Cartridge Company in Brownburg Quebec
as his name in listed on the census report just next to the family of the gentleman who founded the company.
This company is known to day as CIL.

A Chrlotte Barnes was located on the 1901 Canada census listed as a boarder in Montreal she is also listed as a widow- There is another Charlotte Barnes born in Canada who appeares to have married a James Thompson and moved to the USA - there seem to be several children of this union. However as a real connection has not been made as of May 2020, I decided not to take this line further .
