Isaac Hodgkins Sr.
2nd Regiment Lincoln Militia
Isaac Hodgkins Sr. was born in the United States, possibly in the New England states, circa 1760. He and his wife Catherine (surname unknown) lived in Dutchess & Westchester Counties of New York where their family was counted in both the 1790 & 1800 U.S. census of New York. They came to Upper Canada about 1801 and settled in Pelham Twp., Lincoln Co. During the War of 1812, Isaac Sr. enlisted as a Private with Capt. Robert Campbell of the 2nd Regiment, Lincoln Militia.
Isaac farmed in at least two locations in Pelham, latterly at lot 10 con 6. He did not formally take ownership of that property that was a Crown Grant to Peter Hendershott; however, his son Oliver bought the 100 acres in 1818.
Isaac and Catherine had 8 children: William, Oliver, Isaac, David, James, Sarah, Margaret & Meriah. As a result of Isaac’s death of disease while serving in the war, Catherine applied for a pension. At that time, she indicated that she still had three children under the age of 16 at home.
Isaac Sr. died 3 December 1812 at home and it is believed that he was buried on the farm. The one and only burial on the property was originally marked with a tombstone but a few years ago the stone was stolen. Unfortunately the owners of the property had never photographed it. Today the spot is marked with a small patio stone.
