bullet  General Notes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ below is from Dennis Collver's www.collver.org  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Apparently it was Jabez's son John (b. 1768) and wife Miriam Culver, who were the first white people to build and settle in Norfolk Canada. John and his brothers Jabez (b. 1760), Aaron (b. 1766), and Gabriel (b. 1774) were married to four daughters of Timothy and Sovereign Culver ( Rev. Jabez and Timothy were first cousins.) Miriam, Anna, Elizabeth and Martha Culver respectively. Apparently this event occurred while still in New Jersey. In New Jersey in 1793 by James S. Norton, he lists a John Colver in the Sussex County Militia ( roster number 36 ) whether this is this John or another, is unclear. A short description of his journey describes the young couple walking through path- less lands and warding off wild beasts, as she carried a baby in her arms. He lived most of his life in Ontario, Canada, but is believed to have re- turned to New Jersey in 1834 and died there. His wife Marian or Merriam was born 1772 and died 1852 in New Jersey. John Culver was a preacher but never assumed the duties of regular pastor. He was a poet, and in 1828 wrote a volume of Hymns, which were published as the Upper Canada Hymn book. He was said to have been a bit eccentric and in his later years devoted himself to Universalism, which was some form of religion.

Their children were:

Micheal Culver b. 1784, New Jersey.
Gabriel Culver b. 1793
Darius Culver b. 1798, Ontario Canada.
John Mark Culver, Ontario Canada.
Hiram Culver, born 1815, in Ontario Canada.
Rhoda, Sarah, Mary, Elizabeth, Miriam(Marian), Dorcas, Susanna.
