from The Hamilton Spectator 1950. the column "Out of the Storied Past" by Mabel Burkholder "Some Pioneer Families of Ancaster Township - Smith, Book, and Kelly"

"John Book (1754-1827), came from the Electorate Palatine, in Germany, in 1786, settling in New Jersey. After the Revolution the family came to Canada, finaly locating in Ancaster Township, where they received a Crown grant of 200 acres. John's brother Jacob settled in this district, too, whose son Conrad lived where Fred Christie now resides. Another brother settled at Grismby. John Book built the second brick house this side of Niagara in 1797, using oxen to help make the brick, on his farm. Today the descendents live in that ancient house, the wives of the Parkin brothers'. John and Charity Book had ten children, George, Mary, Catherine, Anna Elizabeth, Henry, Adam, Phoebe, John Jr., Margaret and Christina. Most of these are buried in the Book burying-ground on the Parkin farm. The Books were honest, God-fearing folk, who believed in work; Books were made to work hard and not be read. It was not necessary to be educated, but, oh, how terribly needful to toil on the farm."

Ancaster Heritage pg 17

- John Book (1754-1827), the eighteenth petitioner, had chose what later turned out to be lots 44/4 and 45/4; and he later was also given 44/5, and the north half of lot 45/5, a total of 700 acres, John was born June 6, 1754, in Germany, and married about 1774 Anna Gertraute (Zimmerman?). She was usually called Charity. They migrated with seven children to Knowlton, N.J., in 1786, then to St Catherines Ont in 1788; and finally to Ancaster in 1789. John died July 9, 1827, and is buried with his wife, Charity, in his family cemetery on lot 45/4west of Southcote. / Nine of his children are also buried in the Book family cemetery. They have a host of descendants, many of whom still live in this township. / John Book's half brother, Jacob (1743-1824), settled in the Niagara Peninsula, but he bought 100 acres in lot 42/5 from Christopher Almost in 1805 and gave it to his son Coonrad(1774-1867), in 1821. Jacob and a son John (1779-1865) are buried in the Book family cemetery, and Coonrod in the Garner's corner cemetery. / There is a Mary Book (1759-1815) buried in the Book cemetery. She may have been an unmarried sister of John Book.

Conrad Book and Ann Zimmerman married in 1769 in Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany

Conrad Book was born 1757 in Heidelberg, Baden, Wurtemburg, Germany and died 13 Aug 1804 in Grimsby Township, Lincoln, Ontario, Canada......Conrad Book was married to Ann Sophia Zimmerman (memorial #65249223) who is also buried in this cemetery..... .Conrad was the son of John George Book 1735 – 1815 and Christine Metzger 1736 – 1836.

Almost all the Book family is buried in the Book Family Plot: 167 Book Road East Ancaster Hamilton Municipality Ontario Canada

Birth: Jun. 6, 1754 Heidelberg Heidelberger Stadtkreis Baden-Württemberg, Germany Death: Jul. 9, 1827 Ancaster Hamilton Municipality Ontario, Canada

Family Records Page 247: “John Book, born in Germany, June 6, 1754, died in Wentworth County, Ontario, July 9, 1827; married about 1774, (Anna Gertraute is the name used in the Knowlton records, but she probably adopted the name Charity in America). She was born Aug. 7, 1752, died Dec. 14, 1829; they are both buried in the Book Cemetery, near Ancaster, Ontario. He received a Crown grant of 200 acres on June 30, 1801, where he lived near Ancaster. From the Proceedings of the New Jersey Historical Society, “Knowlton, New Jersey, Records of the First German and English Congregation”, I have the record of birth and baptism of John Book’s eighth child. These are the records of the Knowlton Frame Church, which was established in 1766. “Adam, son of Johannes Buch and Anna Gertraute, born Dec. 25, 1786, and baptized January 30, 1787. Witnesses: Conrad Buch and wife Catharina Zimmerman.” The word wife is undoubtably a mistake as Catharina Zimmerman was a witness at the baptism of Conrad’s son Matthias in June, 1785. She and Matthias Zimmerman were witnesses at many other baptisms in the Knowlton records.”
