Several years later when a ship he was on was engaged in the Slave Trade in Africa, and while waiting for a load of slaves it is recorded he remarked, "that he could see the flash of arms like lighting bugs on the shore". At the end of the Revolutionary War, many families, who had settled in the United States and remained true to the British Connection, were persecuted by the triumphant insurgents for their loyalty. There was a general confiscation of their possessions and they were driven to seek a home elsewhere. Thousands of the Loyalists, including some of the best educated and wealthiest of the colonists, left the country fleeing to Canada. These people were induced to come to this country (Canada) by the land bounty, a proclamation issued by Col. James Graves Simcoe (then Lieutenant Governor of Canada) that all males of the age of eighteen years, who settled in the country, should be entitled to two hundred acres of land. At this time John W. Trull began to consider withdrawing to British soil, which he did in 1794. The first white settlers of the Township of Darlington are said to have been John Burk, John W. Trull, and Roger Conant and their families, who landed near the mouth of Barber's Creek, Port Darlington, from the United States in the year 1794, with a stock of two cows and a horse which after crossing the Niagara River had with great difficulty been driven around the head of Lake Ontario and so far down its northern shore. Their difficulties did not end with their toilsome journey, the country was one primeval forest, the only human inhabitants being the savage Indian who looked with jealous eyes upon this encroachment upon their territory. Their first care was to erect shanties to protect themselves from the approaching winter. The lack of mill accommodation was also a great inconvenience as soon as they had any grain to grind, the nearest mill being sixty miles distant requiring a two weeks' toilsome journey in a canoe. In the War of 1812 between Canada and the United States, he played his part in defending his new home. His large sail boat, which he had built out of native timbers, the government pressed into service for taking prisoners from York (Toronto) to Kingston. He died in 1830 at the age of 83 years, and was buried in Lot 32 on the broken front Bowmanville Bass Line. Source: "The Family Tree of John W.

TRULL Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2000 12:53:47 -0000 Hi, Kathy, received the package. Very interesting, especially the Will. This must have been the 1760 William on Sheet 1, son of John and Ann, as the will provides for 'board and lodging expenses for my mother Ann'. It also shows another brother Thomas who provides a link to the Shanklin Peaches. He married Mary Guy and fathered a daughter Sophia. Many thanks for this info, Dave.
