Brockby and Mary Ames, were born in the United States. From
there they emigrated in 1804, to Canada, and settled for about
eight years in Waterloo, Ont., when they moved to Blenheim
Township, seventh concession. Brockby was born in 1773, died in
1819; and Mary was born in 1771, died in 1827. After the death
of her first husband she was united in marriage with Peter
Beamer, who survived her. She and her first husband remained in
Blenheim Township until the spring of 1819, when they moved into
South Dumfries Township, to the farm owned by Leonard Sovereign.
Mr. Brockby Ames was a farmer all his days, with the exception
of the period during which he was engaged in fighting his
country's battles. He took part in the Battle of Lundy's Lane,
the most stubborn fight of the War of 1812-1815, and received a
wound that ultimately caused his death. He was also present at
the engagement of Queenston Heights, where General Brock was
killed, October 13, 1812.
