Notes
a. Note:   REFN: 138 Notes for Christian s/o Solomon Christian lived in Norwich, Ontario, Canada and moved to Grass Lake, Ml in 1838 (see below). Christian was a brother to Abraham, whom became involved intimately in the Patriot Revolt started by political agitator, William Lyon MacKenzie. Christian was "reportedly" chased out of Canada at Detroit Windsor just a step ahead of a hangman's noose. Reports below contradict this. Abraham was taken into custody and interrogated by the authorities. He later named a son after MacKenzie, a rather bold move. Nehemiah and Joseph appear to have remained quiet during the controversy while Peter, Clarissa and their son, Christian P. withdrew from the situation and lived for a brief time elsewhere. Christian P. married in Bradford Twp, Louise Cook, daughter of John Cook of NY. They had a son Thomas W. born at Woodstock, Oxford, ON, CN Another child was Peter Relic. By 1851 the family was living back in Norwich with old Peter Sacicrider. Gary Webb's examination of the Tidey Diaries prompts him to write as follows (the passages of the diaries are in my paper files or E-mail folder): "John Tidey was a surveyor and poet who lived in Norwich most of his adult life. He took part in the Rebellion of 1837 and was convicted of treason for encouraging public speeches that supported the rebellion. He was condemned to death, but pardoned and released from jail in November of 1838, about 11 months after his arrest. (Remember what I told you about Canadians' not wanting anyone to get hurt?) He later became quite successful in the community. Now this passage is interesting for us in several ways since it shows that Christian was still in Norwich in the opening days of 1839. He hadn't not yet moved to Michigan. Christian was a tax collector! Not only did he not rebel against the Family Compact that ran the government of Upper Canada, he collected taxes for them! In fact, one of the points that Tidey is making is that Christian is harassing him: Tidey went to jail in Dec. 1837 and stayed there until Nov. 1838. Christian is taking Tidey to court to collect taxes Tidey didn't pay because he was in jail for treason - That's why Tidey calls it a hard hearted business. He's only been out of jail for a month and Christian is willing to put him back in for debts. So in spite of what the Michigan line wants to think, I'm afraid Christian was not a rebel; he certainly wasn't condemned to death for treason! In fact he's working for the very government that would have had to condemn him. - So much for family tradition. I guess Abraham has to take on the role of the only rebel. The reason for Christian's moving to Michigan was not that he was suffering at the hands of the troops occupying Norwich or other government sympathizers." Mark William Harris indicates that Christian stayed temporarily with Thomas before going on to Grass Lake Twp., Sec 17, now called Sackrider Hill.
