Looking for information on Privates Henry, Michael, and William Groat who were living in one of several townships along the western shore of Lake Ontario during the War of 1812. I have militia records but no family history at this time.

Hi Fred,

I believe you will find these GROATs to be "indigenous" - of the Six Nations GROATs. And or also they are mixed in with the "African" (Negro/Mulatto) GROATs of the area - Niagara, Grimsby, and later Guelph ON. I've (with my super helpful co-researchers) have been plugging away at this lot for sometime. It is not an easy slog - I'm pretty sure these are they you seek:

William you mention:

Henry you mention:
(I'm not sure where he fits in yet)

Michael you mention:

Here is the link to my homepage - the site is searchable - I've tagged these GROATs with Tuscarora, Indigenous, African to help when searching. Hope this helps.

BTW - It's really not clear how these GROATs came "about" - seems likely some come via Joseph BRANT via the Hudson River/Mohawk Valley clans/tribes. But some (the African American line) appear to have arrived via South Carolina. The Hudson/Oneida group **also** includes CRYSLER indigenous folks - and in the original Palatine settlers of non-indigenous GROAT family members we also see the CRYSLER/GREILSER (etc) family - but I've never been able to figure a connection.

Hello Andrew,

I am a descendant of Milo Sylvester Groat and Angeline Ellen Harding. Do you know if Milo was of the "indigenous" Groats the Six Nation Groats?

Thank you.

Andrew,

Thank you for your reply. I have only two records for the 3 Groat men at this time. You can find my payroll document transcriptions at http://www.ogs.on.ca/services/1812-militia.php where you will also find my email address.

Private Henry Groat
Served Aug. 27 to Sept. 1, 1813 (D243). See also (D293).

Henry served in Capt. John Chisholm’s Flank Company in 1813. Men had to have been proven loyal to the British to be accepted into a flank company. Many were United Empire Loyalists. These companies were to be the first mustered to confront an American invasion. Document 293 was a payroll for Capt. James Mordan’s Co. that was not dated with a year. It was dated from Oct. 25 to Nov. 9. Document 297 below covered the same time period in 1813 for the same company so Document 293 was probably from 1812 or 1814.

Private Michael Groat
Working on Dundas St. Oct. 27 to 28, 1813 (D297).

Private William Groat
Working on Dundas St. Oct. 27 to 30, 1813 (D297). See also (D293).

William and Michael served together in Capt. James Mordan’s Co. The two men would therefore have known each other and may have been related. Henry served with William in payroll D293.

As I have only a few records for each of these men and as they were required to muster for militia service throughout the war, the possibility exists that they may have served in other militia regiments as well. I have some records for the Coloured Corps and the Lincoln Regiments but did not find any Groats there.

I have been able to place over 150 of the over 700 men of the 2nd York in Wentworth Co., Nelson and Traflagar Townships in Halton Co., and Toronto Twp., Peel Co. during the war. The Norfolk Regiments were also active in the Niagara Peninsula.

I have made a note of your email address and will get back to you if I discover more on these 3 men.

Hi Barb,

Milo Sylvester descends from Jeremiah F. GROAT and Martha Lavania WILLIAMS. You'll find them listed in my research here as well as their ancestors and descendants. Cheers!

Hi again Fred,

at ourontario.ca you will find some original muster rolls including GROAT in the Lincoln Militia - Caleb GROAT (GRADT etc.) this is my connection. Caleb, as near as we know, is a Palatine descendant, spent time in QUE (signed Oath at Missisquoi 1795), migrated to Whitby, then to Lincoln/Grimsby where he fought in Lundy's Lane (1812) and then settled at Chinguacousy, Peel Co., ON. As far as I know the GROATs you mention are NOT related to him - however the eastern Ontario connection cannot be denied and something might still be "lurking" yet to be discovered (hence my interest in your note and "placing" these folk. My grandmother once said we had "indian blood" in us but I can't find any connection/proof of that. Suffice to say however the CRYSLER family that m. into the Indigenous GROATs of Six Nations area of Ontario seems to believe similar (Google "Blue Eyed Indian" + Crysler/Chrysler).

As for your Henry GROAT serving in 1813...

I can only say that in my work I have the MORDEN clan in my stuff - James MOREDEN (I'm assuming is same you mention heading these militia) m. Margaret PARLIAMENT. James MORDEN's sister Elizabeth m. Johannes CRYSLER - Johannes CRYSLER's (Capt., b. 1765) grandaunt is Anna Catharine GREILSER/KREILSER/CRYSLER. And Anna Catharine m. Gabriel GRADT/GRAAT/GROAT. Gabriel is very likely **at least** my Caleb GROAT's (above) G grandfather, or grand uncle. Now you can see we've come full circle and why/how these connections are of interest.

But this Henry I have no place for - however he very well be Henry Ruiter DE GROAT, b.31 Oct 1794 (NB, poss. QUE, of Noyan), who m. Elizabeth COVEY. Henry's brother, Peter DE GROAT c Nov 21 1791 m. Hannah VAN NORMAN - if you note in your militia lists the appearance of VANORMAN (with Michael and WIlliam GROAT, so might be pushing the wrong connection)


Here's the outline descendant tree I've worked out for Michael and William - I might have misspoke last and I believe, have them as, relations, brothers, in my work. I don't know if I would qualify them as UELs proper as it is possible they were indentured in some way - and were possibly even slaves or servants to Joseph BRANT and associates perhaps. It would not be "fair" to obscure that possibility behind more grand suggestions of patriotism (just my two cents). Erik Jensen of the Oneida/Six Nations has done considerable work on these communities - however there are also considerable errors in his online tree - many are corrected below. You are correct, or at least I am in agreement with you, that they must know one another - but the confusion comes in census labels of them as "Black", "African", "Mulatto", "Colored", "Indian" etc. so while we make clearer distinctions it's certainly not clear what's what at times.

Thank you Andrew. I did visit your site a couple nights ago. I also discovered Jim Groat's site several years ago. :)

I'll go back and look again. Some in the family say that Martha Lavania Williams was NA. But I'm not sure.

Thank you again. Barb

Henry Groat is in nelson township in the 1818-1819 assessment records, a lot away from Michael Groat, James Marden is also there though, as is John Brant. Michael Groat died in 1846 according to the Wellington County Museum in its article on his son William who moved to Guelph from Nelson in 1842.
