Benajah Northrup

This quote taken from Charles Northrup's Excellent website on the Northrups:

"Benajah Northrup and his family came to what is now New Brunswick in 1783. They went up the St. John River above Sheffield or Lower Maugerville, but the high freshet of spring of 1784 flooded them out.

He then moved to Kingston on Portage Cove, also referred to as Bellisle Creek, BUT now called Kingston Creek, and was granted lot #6.

This lot must have been abandoned by some earlier settler, as #6 was in Hauser's first survey in 1783 and at that time was alloted to somebody else.

Two (2) of Benajah's children, a boy and a girl, were lost by this family during this period of upheaval. The girl, Mary, died most likely when they were at Long Island refugee camps. The boy, William, 1st, who was born on the St. John River in 1783, died at Kingston in 1784 when just over a year old.

Benajah Northrup died May 17,1838 at the age of 87 leaving fourteen childen, 118 grandchildren, and 111 great-grandchildren. All of the 14 children were with his 1st wife (Sarah Keeler)."

He settled in Laugerville, [S]unbury Co., on the St. John's River.

Note: 12 The ancient history of the distinguished surname Northrup has appeared in the chronicles of England showing the early records of the name Northrup to be derived from the Norman race. The name appears from about 1066 A.D. and its history is interwoven within the majestic tapestry which contains the history of Britain. Researched, verified, and checked by Dr..Charles Northrup. Credit is given to Ernest G. C. Graham, the author of "Genealogy of NORTHRUPS, BARTERS and BENSONS of Springfield, N. B." without whose work and diligence the following information may have been lost. Christian Joseph Northrup of Yorkshire, England, came to Milford, Connecticut in the early 1600s, and seems to have been the originator of the Kings County, Canada Loyalist family of Northrup,and he was one of the original founders of Milford, Connecticut. Here is Joseph Northrup's founder stone. By the time the Revolution started in 1776, the descendants of Christian Joseph Northrup had spread over the state of Connecticut and beyond. Benajah Northrup who was the fifth generation was loyal to the King of England and during the war served in the "Guides and Pioneers" as a volunteer. The story handed down in the Northrup family is that there were three branches of this family who left the US and came to Canada as Loyalists. One branch to what is now Nova Scotia. One branch to Upper Canada, settling at or near Brockville. And Benajah Northrup and his family came to what is now New Brunswick in 1783. They went up the St. John River above Sheffield or Lower Maugerville, but the high freshet of spring of 1784 flooded them out. He then moved to Kingston on Portage Cove, also referred to as Bellisle Creek, BUT now called Kingston Creek, and was granted lot #6. This lot must have been abandoned by some earlier settler, as #6 was in Hauser's first survey in 1783 and at that time was alloted to somebody else. Two (2) of Benajah's children, a boy and a girl, were lost by this family during this period of upheaval. The girl, Mary, died most likely when they were at Long Island refugee camps. The boy, William, 1st, who was born on the St. John River in 1783, died at Kingston in 1784 when just over a year old. Benajah Northrup died May 17,1838 at the age of 87 leaving fourteen childen, 118 grandchildren, and 111 great-grandchildren. All of the 14 children were with his 1st wife (Sarah Keeler). There is no record to substantiate the Northrup story that one branch went to Nova Scotia and one to Upper Canada, but as some of the Kingston "Northrups" did in later years go to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, it may have been from these travelers that they think that another Loyalist branch did exist in Nova Scotia.

Note: 13 Re-registered Nova Scotia Grant of 14 Jun 1784. New Brunsiwck Grant had 200 acres.

Note: 19 In the muster-roll of Capt. Gamaliel Northrup's Company, 1776, his name appears as Corporal. He became, however, a "loyalist", and, with others, at the end of the Revolution, went to and settled in New Brunswick, landing at St. Johns, May 1783. He went up the St. Johns River about 75 miles. and took up a tract of land, but the next spring descended the river 50 miles and into Kingston Creek, where he settled. At his death, his son James Sturgis, took his farm. Most of his children settled Springfield, NB, about 15 miles from Kingston. His brothers took sides with the colonists in the Revolutionary War. [Upon his death at Kingston, he left] 14 children, 118 grandchildren, 111 great grandchildren.

"Benajah Northrup of Connecticut died at Kingston in 1838 aged eighty eight, leaving fourteen children, one hundred and eighteen grandchildren and one hundred and eleven gread grandchildren." Thus reads Sabine's note about the New Brunswick ancestor of the Northrup family.

   The Northrup family came to America from Yorkshire, England and the first of the name in New England was Joseph Northrup resident of Milford in 1639. He died Sept. 11, 1669 leaving his widow (Mary Norton) and eight children, six of whom were boys, Samuel, [...], Jeremiah, William, [...] and Joseph. The last [named and eldest] was baptized August 9, 1649 and died in the year 1720 leaving four children, one of whom was named Joseph like his father and grandfather. This third Joseph was baptized in October 1689. He settled in Ridgefield, Connecticut and married Susannah Roberts on the 20th of November 1713. He died in 1773 aged 84 years leaving seven children, the third bearing the name of Eli. This Eli of the fourth generation in America, was born in May 1718 and married in 1739. He had a family of six children and the 

fifth child was Benajah the Loyalist settler of New Brunswick. He was born March 27, 1752, married in New England Sarah Keeler and in 1783 was a Loyalist settler at Maugerville, NB. The freshet of the following spring gave him a bad impression of the county and with his family he moved to the high hills on the east side of Portage Creek settling on Lot No. 6 which has since remained in possession of his descendants. His wife, Sarah (Keeler) died July 17, [1872] [1782?] and in [1874] [1784?] he married Rachel Fowler. The Loyalist founder of the New Brunswick family passed to his rest May 17, 1838.

   The sons of Benajah were: Zadach, Camaliel, William 1st, William 2nd, John, Eli, Benjamin, James, Sturgis and David. 

{see later for better listing}

   James Sturgis Northrup, born Sept 1, 1795, married Susannah Cox 8 Jan [1878?], lived on the homestead and died Nov 25 1865. 

The family of James Sturgis Northrup consisted of seven sons who all married and had families and one daughter Matilda, who died unmarried. The sons were: Eli S., Daniel D., Philo A., Walter W., Harvey H. and William B. James Sturgis Northrup divided his farm, two sons, Daniel and Eli settling on the [...] where it touched the midland road. Philo and Walter on Kingston Creek. Walter later moved to Kars and lived at what is known as Urquhart's Point.
Daniel D. Northrup was a farmer and blacksmith and in the later capacity was noted for his manufacture of fine edge tools, particularly borad axes and draw knives. He married in 1892 Hannah S. [Whiting] and had a family of eleven
children, the sons being: Hebert E. Moved ...

WEDDINGS (clipping from a newspaper / 1925) NORTHRUP-SEELY HAMPTON VILLAGE, Dec. 18 - A pretty wedding took place at the Church of the Ascension, Lower Norton, at 3 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, when Maude Beryl

Seely, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.H. Seely, became the wife of Percy Herbert Northrup, of Kingston. The church was prettily decorated with pine and cones, of which the brideal arch was made. Red berries brightened the decorations at

the altar and green myrtle was also used. Wilfred Wetmore, of Fredericton, was groomsman and the bridesmaid was Miss Alison Dixon.
