John KILBORN

1794 - 1888  (93 years)

• Name	John KILBORN  [1]
  Birth	27 Jun 1794	Leeds Co., Ontario, CANADA   [1]
  Baptism	20 Jun 1794  [1]
  Gender	Male
  Note	I have a rather extensive bibiographic sketch written by John Kilborn -par of History of Leeds and Grenville, edited by Thad Leavitt, and published in Belleville, Ontario in 1972. Much of his comments deal with his experience as a British soldier in the War of 1812, and he mentions that he served in the Parliament of Upper Canada in 1828. I intend to type it into this section at some point. He and Elizabeth were married by the Rev. Richard Smart, minister of thePresbyterian Church in Elizabethtown, and they made their home in Unionville, Bastard Township, Leeds County. Ashiel Sherwood and Roderick Easton (who married Elizabeth's sisters Mary and Candace) were witnesses at the wedding. I also have a copy of an article from the Brockville Recorder, detailing a dinner held in Newboro on March 12, 1852. The occasion was in honor ofJohn Kilborn, on the occasion of his leaving Newboro to become postmaster in Brockville. Benjamin Tett headed the list of signatories on a petition n his honor. The dinner was apparently held in an inn run by Mr. and Mrs. William Hutchings Tett. Mrs. Tett was the former Jane Poole, Mary Ann Poole Chaffey's sister. After his service in Brockville, the Kilborns returned to Newboro, where they lived out their last few years. Also, I have a copy of a Queen's University Master's Thesis which focuses on the Tett family enterprises in the Rideau area, and mentions John Kilborn a number of times - obviously he and Tett cooperated on a number of projects. The thesis mentions Kilborn's ownership of the Mississauga Mills, an extensive sawmill operation, later sold to John Chaffey of Brockville (his son-in-law's cousin).
