NEW: Executors /Executrix Release Form (1897) for Philip Bartholomew, 1806-1897 Dr. Arnold Neufeldt-Fast, Stouffville
On August 23, 2014, Loren Grove (Stouffville) passed on to me the original copy of the Executors/ Executrix Release Form signed by the children of Philip Bartholomew upon receiving their share of the assets of their fathers estate (signed 1897). Loren Groves grandfather, Jacob B. Grove, Ringwood (Stouffville), was an executor of the will.
Philip Bartholomew Homestead - Demolished 2013 In 2013, the brick heritage home below was approved for demolition by Whitchurch-Stouffville Town Council. The Heritage Advisory Committee advised that the historic home be designated and protected. See the following items: http://www.yorkregion.com/news-story/1448153-stronach-farmhouse-demolition-to-stouffville- council-today/ http://www.townofws.ca/en/town-hall/resources/Documents/Committees/Heritage_Minutes_06- Feb-12.pdf (item 7.3) I also advocated to Town Council and in the papers of its significant heritage value: http://www.stouffvillefreepress.com/letters/what-value-does-an-old-building-have/
Shortly before demolition, over-grown shrubs and trees around the house had been removed, and the Bartholomew House was visiblebriefly--in its former glory. Picture: Arnold Neufeldt-Fast
The articles above (based on the research of local historian Fred Robbins) on the 160 year old Bartholomew homestead demolished last year have one very interesting historical error. New: While Philips father Henry owned the property originally, he died while returning home from the War of 1812 in 1815--probably the only settler in what is today Whitchurch-Stouffville that died in connection with the war (see below; this information was not available for the War of 1812 commemoration event in 2012 in Stouffville). Almost all Whitchurch-Stouffville area settlers during the War of 1812 were Mennonite, Quaker or Brethren-in-Christ, all of whom were non-resistant conscientious objectors. Philips grandfather was a German Hessian soldier who fought for England against American colonists in the American Revolution. New: Philip (1806-1897), not his father Henry (d. 1815), built the homestead on the Stouffville Road property ca. 1855, and demolished with Council approval 2013. New: Philip became a Mennoniteand by definition a pacifist Source below: G.W. Bartholomew, Record of the Bartholomew Family [1885], pp. 589, 592f). -ANF
