The Napanee Beaver, December 8, 1970
On Sunday, 40 descendants of the late Sidney and Edith Pringle, of Selby,
met for a family dinner at the Wayfare Restaurant, Napanee. Besides an
opportunity to visit and for the young people to get to know their
cousins, they were entertained by Miss Jennie Pringle giving excerpts from
her research into the history of the Pringle family.
Special attention was paid to the period of the American Revolutionary War
when the patriarch of the family in Canada, Joel Pringle, or Prindle as he
was sometimes called, joined the Royal rangers, together with all his
sons, Joel the Younger, Timothy, William, Joseph and Doctor and fought to
keep the American Colonies within the British Empire.
Since the men were away with the army, the women and children had to run
the farms which were in Albany County east of Lake George. They were
subjected to much harassment by the rebels and were finally forced from
their land and they had to seek shelter in nearby Fort Edward at the south
end of Lake George. Later, when the fort was about to fall into the
rebel's hands, they again fled down Lakes George and Champlain to fort St.
John's on the Richelieu River inside Quebec. They arrived there in July
1781 as shown on the ration list and remained until the close of the war
and final dispersal of the refugees to permanent settlement.
The Pringle families had lost everything and they could not return to
their homes, so they agreed to go with the rest of the Roger's Rangers to
the Bay of Quinte area. At that time, it was an unknown wilderness, far
from settled areas and difficult to reach on account of the rapids in the
St. Lawrence River.
The Rangers and their families travelled up the St. Lawrence in batteaux,
camping on the shore at night. On arrival in Kingston in June 1784; they
drew lots from the deputy surveyor's hat. The grantee's name was written
on the proper place on a map which the surveyor had and a ticket of
location was given to him. A copy of this map may be seen on the wall in
the United Empire Loyalist Museum at Adolphustown Park. The next thing
was to find their future home in the wilderness. If it were on the water
they were lucky as they could travel there by boat, but if inland, the
forest made it difficult to reach. Major Rogers' Corps was assigned to
Fredricksburg.
Joseph Pringle, the progenitor of the assembled group, drew a lot on the
south shore where the Van Dyke farm is located now. William and Timothy
were in the second concession of Fredricksburg. Additional and [sic]
Doctor and his brother-in-law, John Dafoe Jr. shared a 200 acre lot on the
south shore of Hay Bay in the fourth concession. The father, Joel and his
eldest son, Joel the Younger, drew lots at the eastern end of Hay Bay in
the fourth concession but they were never occupied by them. Joel moved to
what was later Hallowell Township in Prince Edward and his son went to
Loughboro Township in Frontenac County.
Owing to the need for more land for their growing families and also
because they received further grants in other areas, many did not stay
long on their original grants. Timothy's son, Timothy Jr. went to
Marysburgh, while his eldest son also called Joseph, stayed on the
original homestead until the 1840's when some went to Michigan and others
to East Whitby. Other members of this large family went to Hastings
County and the northern part of Lennox and Addington when the Colonization
Road was put through. Doctor Pringle and his family also went to Prince
Edward but the boys soon went on to Hastings and Daniel and Abraham
finally ended up in Napanee.
Opened Township
Joseph, his family and some of his nieces and nephews practically opened
up the Township of Richmond when it was surveyed as the 10th township. He
moved from Fredricksburg to a farm on the Deseronto Road just wet of the
Slash Road, where he built a two-story frame house which he ran as a
country hotel. It was a busy corner where the inn stood and it was known
as New Liverpool. It was thought it would become a shipping point for the
whole area as the river ran deeply here, wharves had been constructed and
higher up at Napanee Falls the stream was rapidly being choked by sawdust
from the saw mill.
Joseph was active in may ways. He was an officer of the First Militia,
formed in Lennox when the war of 1812 threatened, and he and all of his
six boys -- William, John, Richard, Simeon, Joseph and David --saw service
in the war. According to John Ross Robertson in the book, "The History of
Freemasonry in Canada," Joseph Pringle was the first Worshipful Master of
the Mason Lodge when it was organized in Napanee in 1812 and described him
as a worthy man with a fair education, standing about six feet in height;
a magistrate who had the courage of his convictions and assisted in the
execution of his warrants. He was seriously injured by a blow to the head
by club when assisting with the arrest of some fruit stealers and never
completely recovered.
In his obituary in the "Christian Guardian", Oct 30 1833 issue, his age
was given as 77 years and five months and date of death the 22nd 'ultimo'
and said that he was firm and impartial in his decisions as Justice of the
Peace, indefatigable in the discharge of his duty as an Officer of the
Militia, an indulgent parent and a good neighbour. It also said that he
left to deplore his loss, six children, 54 grandchildren and 21
great-grandchildren. |

| Birth | See source comments: <b>Vital records of Tyringham, Massachusetts, to the year 1850
Used a date calculator with his verified death date of 22 Sep 1833 and age of 77 years and five months in his obituary, the result is 22 April 1756 the exact same date as the record in Tyringham
</b>Many have Skenesboro/Whitehall for Joseph's birthplace but Philip Skene didn't start settling the place until 1759-1760, according to Clarence E. Holden's writings. |
| Birth | I believe Joseph the son's birth was recorded as a death in error, since it appears he was baptized 6 days later. Congregational churches believe in infant baptism. |
