110 ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 
is still living in New York at the fine old age of 93. She remembers 
the British officers stopping at her father’s home on the North River 
Road toward the close of the war. She says Isaac Swayzie died on his 
farm about two miles from Niagara. According to the records he 
appears to have been married twice, first to Sarah Secord (daughter 
Catherine, born 13th March, 1793,) and afterward by Rev. Wm. 
Addison, on the 18th of September, 1806, to Lena Ferris (widow). 
The Fourth Riding of Lincoln and Norfolk were together allowed 
one member. The fourth Lincoln consisted of the following town- 
ships: — Willoughbly, Crowland, Bertie, Humberston and Wainfleet, 
Norfolk County extended west from Lincoln and the west riding 
of York as far as the River Barbue or Orwell (now called Catfish 
Creek). The northern boundary was the Thames, and Lake Hrie of 
course formed the southern limit. Norfolk, therefore, included all 
of Haldimand and part of Elgin, also parts of Brant, Oxford and 
Middlesex. Most of Haldimand was Indian lands. The settled por- 
tion consisted mainly of the townships of Welland County, named as 
the 4th Lincoln, with Fort Erie as headquarters. Who was the 
member elected ? We are certain that Pettit, Pawling and Swayzie 
were three of the Lincoln members, for their names appear in the 
journals of the first and second ‘sessions, but who was the fourth ? 
That is the question that has puzzled me and I am compelled to state 
that I cannot answer the question satisfactorily. Dr. Canniff, in his 
list has a name as follows “— Young,” but he gives no riding for any 
member. No such name appears in the journals, which mention 
only fifteen names in all. Through the kindness of Mr. Phileas 
Gagnon I had the Quebec almanacs searched and find the following 
list in that for 1796, without mention of any constituencies: 
HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY OF UPPER CANADA. 
John McDonnell, Esq., Speaker. 
Nanthanial Pettit. * Benjamin Pawling. 
Isaac Swayze. David Wm. Smith. 
Hazleton Spencer. John White. 
Ephraim Jones. Jeremiah French. 
Joshua Booth. Francis Baby. 
Peter Vanalstyne. Pashal Tarry. 
Hugh McDonell. 
Angus McDonell, Esq., Clerk. 
The list of fourteen names supplied a new name which should 
read I have no doubt “ Parshall Terry.” It suggests a number of 
questions. Why only fourteen ? Why the new name of Terry ? As 
referred to before he was associated with Swayzie in the supplies for
