Inquiring about a Rebecca/Rebeckah Smith, daughter of John Smith, a Loyalist and Sergeant in Jessop's Corps/Rangers, who married an Amos Deming, son of Prosper Deming and Alice Graves/Gray? in Augusta Township, possibly about 1806, the same year she received land by Order-In-Council, 25 March 1806. Rebecca was baptized circa 1785, possibly in Augusta Township. Amos was supposedly born circa 1785? in Prescott, Ontario. He is said to have died in 1818 in Detroit, Wayne Co., Michigan, USA. Rebecca and Amos had, I think, one son, Prosper, b.ca. 1814, and three daughters, Sophronia, Rebecca, and Jane.

The only info I have on Rebecca and her father is the info stated above. I am especially wondering if someone out there might have a little more information on Rebecca Smith and her father, John Smith, and Jessop's Corps. Maybe if she had any siblings, who her mother was, etc.? It would be nice to know if they came from the USA and if so from where, or if they were already here all along, as if I am interpreting what I've read, the true "Loyalists" were considered those who were already here and didn't come from the USA. Someone please correct me if I am wrong as I am in uncharted territory here.

Any assistance someone would be willing to give me will be very much appreciated.
