Notes

Ephraim married Mary Chisholm, who is buried in the Chisholm plot at Oakville Cemetery, and died March 7, 1865 in the 87th year of life. He had the lot west of Wentworth Street and south of Main. He became custodian of the Lodge jewels. When Hamilton was threatened by the American Army in the War of 1812, thejewels were temporarily buried in the garden of his property, along with some household treasures, just before the battle of Stoney Creek, June 6, 1813. The particular spot was about 60 feet south of Main Street and 40 feet east of Erie Avenue, now the location of an apartment house. For many years a defensive breastwork of earth remained, about four feet high and shaped like a chevron, each arm being about 30 feet long.
