herman phono 1903 stouffville tf dr and mrs ira freel of stouff ville were present at tho first freel renunion held at thamesford on may 25th 1925 although the freeis are not numerous- in this neighbor hood yet along the thames niagara peninsular and especially in michi gan they are as thick as leaves on a tree and something of their eariy history will be of interest to our readers the freel3 came from kilkenny ireland where they lived for a long time but they were originally of huguenot stock being ardent pro- tastants they did not harmonize with their romau catholic neighbors at a time when people took their reli gion less tolerantly and so moved to new york state where they set tled on 2200 acres of land during the revolutionary war of 1775 they took the side of england and when the americans gained their inde pendence the victorious army burned their buildings run off their stock and such neighborly acts that were fashionable at that period great britain to compensate for this loss and as a reward for their loyalty gave land at niagara and along tho thames which their descendants hold to this day in the war of 1812 john freel had charge of a cannon which he spiked before falling into the hands of the americans later john himself was killed in action his wife deborah lies buried in buttlers cemetery which at the present time is kept in good condition by the dominion gov ernment the old timers were broad shoul dered deep chested men and gener ally took an active part in any poli tical movements thsse original united empire loyalists were natur ally high ohurch tories but the doings of the family compact in canadian history estranged many so that both sides of politics are now represented the clan historian dr freel of glencoe ontario relates that in the war is 12 the united empire loyal ists were very bitter against the americans who had so recently dis poned them and almost to a man joined the british forces one freel was favorably mentioned inthe army despatches for having with a group of comrades slipped across the line and cut out a bunch of cattle from the american army swimming the critters across the river hanging on to their tails so that they could he guided to the right landing spot as the supplies in the canadianbritish army were low the beef was a wel come addition the clan historian also spoke of a family of freeis father and nine strapping sons who lived in west ern ontario in the early days and kept the community in a ferment by their doings but they fell under the spell of a circuit rider who induced them to go to camp meet ing there they were converted to a man and their neighbors said that in a twinkling of an eye they were changed from roaring roysterers into old time methodists which while it may not have lessened the noise was a blessed change to the whole com munity this first reunion wa3 held at the homestead of walter and charles freel beautifully situated on the thames river who acted the part of hosts in a kindly efficient manner childhood youth manhood and re trospective old age were all repre sented the day was spent in feast ing games ind best of all listening to tales of yore by the old
