Thomas Merritt was living on and a farm in Westchester County, New and York, when the Revolutionary War Jrn- broke out/ in 1776, and joined the 'ian Queen's Rangers, commanded by the la/l) distinguished English officer later ardl known as Governor Simcoe of Upper . Canada. Before the war was over the Thomas Merritt married Mary Hamil- TIC- ton, a, lady belonging to a South Caro- ext lina family, whose name persists to this day in the Merritt family. After the war they settled in New Bruns- l wick, later returning to the farm in on Westchester County, but Loyalists were not comfortable, and he yielded to the offers of Governor Simcoe and 'CIC! came to Upper Canada. II " A few years after his return Major Merritt showed his taste for public affairs by proposing a canal from Lake Ontario to Lake Erie, in 1818, but the scheme was delayed for better surveys. These were obtained in 1823 and incorporation secured from Par- i liament in the winter of 1824. Thus tthe centenary of the canal might be ,observed this year. The company ‘began construction at once. and on Nov. 27, 1829, the first vessels locked ',through. Formal opening followed , vvuuam Hamilton Merritt was far from finished with his public inter- ests. He headed the company which projected and built the first suspen- sion bridge at Niagara, commencing in 1845. He entered Parliament as a Performer and became President of the Council in the Baldwin-Lafontaine Cabinet, and afterward Commissioner ot Public Works, but retired in 1851 from office for which he was not well suited, and entered the Legislative Council. His ideas for developing the country were not yet exhausted. He advocated large-sized Propellers to ply between Chicago and Quebec, with a view to diverting traffic to the St. Lawrence, and several conferences with the Government on the deepen- ing ot the St. Lawrence, a plan which 'apt far from realized. He died in mrougn. Formal opening followed next July. In 1842 the stock was purchased by the Government and the canal became a public enterprise. A larger canal was built later, and a still larger one is now under construc- tion. 7% pence per acre. He entered the militia and served through the War of 1812, being with Brock at Detroit and Queenston Heights, and also fighting at Stoney Creek and Lundy's Lane. He was taken prisoner at the latter battle and kept at Fort Schlosser, near Niagara Falls, N. Y., till the end Of the war. He was not idle, how- ever, and married Miss Catharine Prendergast, of Mayville, N. Y., before he returned. Young William Hamilton Merritt was born in 1793, and after his school- ing in Canada he entered into busi- ness in Shipman’s Corners, now St. Catharines, and speedily won SUC- cess. At that time land could be had in the new rich Niagara district for --*_,.'1‘ne first Merritt to settle in this Province (Was Thomas, a U. E. Loyal- ist, who took land in the Township of Grantham in 1796, and father of Hon. William Merritt, promoter of the Wel- land Canal, who in turn was grand- father of the Col. Merritt of recent times.
