Migrated from New Brunswick in 1792-93 to Norfolk County. Frederick and Lavinia (Pelham) Mabee settled at Turkey Point, Charlotteville Township in late spring/early summer of 1793 with their 9 children: Elizabeth, Lydia, Nancy, Oliver, Simon, Mary, Sarah, Frederick and Pellum. Old Frederick died only one year after arriving at Turkey Point, becoming the first white burial at Charlotteville. His wife and family stayed on and became influential in the area. Three articles about Frederick and his children appear in "Pioneer Sketches of the Long Point Settlers" by E. A. Owen. (Pages 37, 316 & 321) There are a lot of inaccuracies, but the family's story is told in quite an entertaining manner.

CHAPTER XIII.
THE TOWNSHIPS 0F NORFOLK.
CHARLOTTEVILLE.
THIS township was named after the now extinct town, Charlotteville
or Turkey Point. It is probably the most historic of the seven
townships, chiefly on account of its containing Turkey Point, rich in
historical memories, of which a number will be mentioned in subsequent
chapters.
The soil is a loam, with a tendency towards sandy loam in some
places, chiefly in the southern part. Yet the township contains
a great deal of rich farming land.
It is watered by a multitude of creeks, most of them short and
flowing directly into Long Point Bay. It was one of the very earliest
townships settled, chiefly because, as the Loyalists came generally in
batteaux, they would strike the lake shore first, and not go
further inland than necessary to obtain good land or favorable
locations.
Among the earliest Loyalist settlers were Frederick Maby (Mabee),
Lieut. Joseph Ryerson, Anderson, McCall, Munro, Secord, Johnson,
Spurgin, Finch, Montross, Freeman, Smith, Welch, Brown, Teeple and Tisdale.
The towns and villages are Simcoe, Vittoria, Normandale, Walsh,
Lyndock, Glenshee, Forestville and the much-to-be-regretted
Charlotteville or Turkey Point.

CHAPTER XVI.
CHARLOTTEVILLE.
http://www.tbaytel.net/bmartin/longpt2.htm ( a wonderful book!!!!!!!)
THE principal point of interest in Norfolk County is, or ought
to be, the location of the now extinct town of Charlotteville,
or Turkey Point. This was situated on the high bank overlooking
Turkey Point proper. This point projects into Lake Erie in a
south-westerly direction for a little more than five miles. It
is a low-lying peninsula of sandy loam, forming, as it were, a
backbone to the masses of marsh which surround it.
This marsh, of reeds, rushes and quill grass, fills up
almost entirely what was formerly a safe and commodious harbor
on the inner side of Turkey Point. Through the point flows a
narrow stream, not more than eight feet wide, called Indian Creek.
Although so narrow and so shallow that the bottom is
easily touched, there is suficient current to prevent its
freezing up in the winter, and it is the waterway of the
sportsmen, who thereby insert themselves into their favorite coverts.
The immense numbers of wild turkeys found there a century ago
gave the point its designation. The wild turkeys have, for the
most part, disappeared, but wild ducks of many varieties abound,
particularly mallards, black ducks, yellow legs, red heads,
butter balls, the mourning duck, pintails, and canvas-backs. The
point is owned by a private company who have erected a commodious
club-house thereon, with boat-houses and all conveniences for the sportsman.
When London district was separated from the Western district, as
has been mentioned in the chapter on the "County of Norfolk,"
and comprised the land that is now incorporated in the counties
of Bruce, Huron, Middlesex, Elgin, Norfolk and Oxford, the
courts of Quarter Sessions were first held in the house of
Lieutenant Munro, as will be detailed in the chapter on his
settlement; but not long afterwards a public-house was built in
CharlotteviUe by Job Loder, and the early courts were convened
there until a more suitable accommodation could be obtained.
In 1804 a building was erected to serve the purposes of a
courthouse and jail. This was of frame, two stories high, and
twenty-six feet in width by forty feet in length. The lower
story was occupied by the court when in session, with the
exception of a small portion at one end partitioned off for the
"district jail." The upper story was divided into two rooms
for the jurors, but it is said tbat in the hot days of summer they
preferred to conduct their deliberations under a spreading oak tree close by.
The jail was but seldom used, for crime was rare in that community
and the moral sentiment so high that locks and bolts were scarcely
thought of. There is, however, in connection with this jail and court
house an interesting tradition which shows that once at least, in Norfolk,
the sterner penalties of the law were dealt out. The writer does
not vouch for the correctness of the narrative. It is
said that while Sherrif Major Bostwick was in charge of the government
buildings there, a negro was in confinement awaiting execution
for theft, in those days a capital crime. The negro was sentenced
to be hanged on a certain Thursday, but the sherrif had friends
coming from York in the latter part of the week to visit him and enjoy the
shooting; so the sherrif, not wishing to be troubled with an
execution after his friends arrived, asked the "colored gentleman" if
he would have any objections to be hanged on the preceding
Tuesday, to which the negro replied, "No, no, massa, you've been
very good to me, and if you feed me well until Tuesday I'll be
hanged then to oblige you." So the necessary ceremonies took
place, per agreement, on the Tuesday, and the sherrif was at
liberty to entertain his friends.
In 1812 Fort Norfolk was built at Charlotteville, of which
nothing but the trenches remain. This was a stake fort, the
walls consisting of a double row of pointed stakes, the two rows
being several feet apart, and the space between filled in with
earth. At the close of the war the fort was abandoned, and
nothing more than the irregular trench marks its location.
Just on the outskirts of the town a rough frame building was
erected in 1813 for a hospital. This was put up during the
cholera epidemic of that year.
As to the other buildings, it is certain that a rival hotel to
Job Loder's was built on the shore by a man named Hatch, and
still another by Silas Montross. In the kitchen of Loder's
hotel was held the first meeting of Norfolk Masons. The branch
society was organized in that old tavern. In the same room was
held the first meeting of the adherents of the English Church
to see about securing a glebe reservation, so that their church
might be appropriately and sufficiently endowed. This was secured,
although the church was not built for many years afterwards, until
the Rev. Mr. Evans came to reside among them.
But the town did not prosper, the chief reason being that it was
apart from the main thoroughfare east and west. Twenty years after
its foundation it contained but one solitary house. Today it exists no
more. A barren stretch of sand is all that meets the eye. Yet the
antiquarian, or the curio-hunter, or the traveller with the historical
mania, can find many an interesting landmark that tells the story of long ago.
And how many interesting memories crowd upon one who is familiar
with its history! There is the hill on which was buried the first white
man who died in that district. A hollowed log was the coffin of
Frederick Maby, and in this simple tomb the members of his sorrowing
family laid him away. In the war of 1812 an anxious watch was kept for
American foes from the bastion of old Fort Norfolk. In the courthouse
for twelve years, at the courts of quarter sessions, those old
settlers, in Grand and Petit Jury assembled, tried offenders against
the peace of King George. In this little quadrangle were confined
those who from time to time thought themselves above the law of the
new land. Over to the west are the traces of the old hospital, where
works of mercy were no more omitted than were the requirements of
law overlooked.
Interesting surely, though the blinding sand has blotted out man
and his works; yet the lives of those who raised these earliest marks
of law, religion and pity for suffering man, have not been without
effect. Far from it. They live in the best blood of Ontario, in our
people's reverence for law, in the stern unswerving loyalty to
the Crown, in the scorn of cant and empty show, the acts of mercy and
benevolence, love of God, faith with man, courage in war, kindness in peace,
purity and goodness and true religion undefiled.

General Court Martial of Simon Mabee
The following court martial was kindly donated for our use by Steve Mabie.
Proceedings of a General Court Martial held by order of the Honourable Brigadier General McDougall, April 11th 1777. ( A LONG story at the above URL)
799. Marie LANDRIN was born Private. [Parents]
[Child]
800. Alexander ROSENKRANS was born 1 12 Apr 1659 in NEW AMSTERDAM, NEW WORLD. He died 2 1692 in Rochester, Ulster Co., NY and was buried in 1st Walpack Church. Alexander married Marretjen DEPUE on 11 Dec 1713. [Parents]
BIOGRAPHY: 2. ALEXANDER ROSENKRANS, son of Harmon Hendrick, was born in Kingston and baptized in New York April 12, 1661. When he was a boy three years of age, the Indians carried off some of the children of Kingston, but he was preserved and destined to be the head of a large branch of the Harmon Hendrick family whose descendants have followed closely upon the heels of the Indians in their emigration westward to the big waters of the Mississippi River, and still on to the confine of the Pacific Ocean. When a young man Alexander accompanied his parents to the uncultivated banks of the Peterskill in Mombaccus, now Rochester township, and assisted in clearing a farm, where many of the family and kindred subsequently lived. Being the eldest son Alexander became the head of the family at the death of his father, and, as before stated, was instrumental, 1697, in selling some of his fathers estate to Moses DuPuy, his future father-in-law, and again in 1703. He sold a portion of the estate again in 1708, but probably retained a home there, and subsequently owned a mill property on the Peterskill, in company with his brother-in-law, Gysbert VanGarden, as the records show that "Leendert Cool," in 1709, petitioned the Town Committee of Rochester for the purchase of the highest falls on the Peterskill "above the mill property of Alexander Rosenkrans and Gysbert VanGarden." As there is an old mill still standing on the Peterskill, as noticed in connection with his fathers name, it probably stands on the mill site once owned by him and his brother-in-law.
BIOGRAPHY: The Rochester records show that Alexander was a member of the Town Committee 1714, and with them sold some real estate to William Nottingham, and 1720 his name appears in a list of "quit rents." In 1727 he sold some real estate in Kingston to Johannis Wynkoop and April 19, 1739, while living in New Jersey, sold to Moses DuPuy, Jr., some real estate in Rochester for 503 Pounds (Book E.E., p. 21).
BIOGRAPHY: In 1713, aged about 53, Alexander was married in Rochester to Marretjen DePue, daughter of Moses DuPuy. A copy of his marriage record in the Ulster County History, is as follows: "Married December 11, 1713, Alexander Rosenkrans, j.m., born in Kingston, and Marretjen DePue, j.d., also born in Kingston." These letters following their names signify young man, or unmarried, and young woman. Moses DuPuy was born in France, his father being a Huguenot. His father, Nicholas DuPuy, came from France in the ship called "Pumerland Church," in October, 1662, with his wife, Catryntje Vos, and three children Nicholas, John and Moses, aged 6, 5 and 2 years. — "Church Life."
BIOGRAPHY: Moses married Maritje (Maria) Wynkoop, of Albany, and settled in Rochester, where he purchased a tract of land in 1680, evidently near that of Harmon Hendrick Rosenkrans. His second wife was Margaret Schoonmaker. His son, Nicholas "DePue," baptized December 3, 1682, married Wyntje Roosa, 1707, and settled in Smithfield, Monroe County, Pennsylvania, 1725, purchasing 3,000 acres of land of the Indians and becoming the pioneer settler of that region near Stroudsburg, above the Delaware Water Gap. Moses DuPuy’s son Moses married a Margaret Schoonmaker, of Ulster County, whose son Benjamin, baptized March 3, 1728, married " Lisabeth Swartwout," daughter of Samuel, and settled in Deerpark township, near Port Jervis. He built the stone house subsequently occupied by Peter E. Gumaer, the family historian, which during the Revolution was converted into a fort called "Fort DePue." — "Church Life."
BIOGRAPHY: Alexander Rosenkrans, like his father concluded to go westward — not across the ocean or continent but across the southern boundary of his native State, from the hunting grounds of the Iroquois along the Rondout, to the "Minissink" lands of the Leni Lenape, the banks of the Delaware, where white men were then but few. In 1729, Alexander Rosenkrans, in company with Frederick Schoonmaker, purchased of John Crooke, Jr., of Kingston, a tract of 900 acres of land, called the Shappanack tract, on the Delaware, in Walpack, Morris (now Sussex) County, New Jersey, for which they paid £600. Their deed, mentioned in "sources of family information," was made in accordance with the old English law of "lease and release." A lease with a deed dated one year and a day later, which begins as follows :
BIOGRAPHY: "This indenture made the 16th and 17th days of March, in the third year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord, George the second, by the grace of God, of Great Britain, France and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, etc., and in the year of our Lord Christ one thousand seven hundred and twenty-nine and thirty, between John Crooke, Jr. of Kingston, in the County of Ulster, and Province of New York, in America, Merchant, and Catharina, his wife, of one part, and Alexander Rosenkrans, of Rochester, in the said county of Ulster, aforesaid, yeoman, and Fredrick Schoonmaker, of said Rochester, yeoman, of the other part. Whereas, the said John Crooke, Jr., by virtue of a certain conveyance by lease and release, from Joseph Helby, citizen and brewer, of London, to him the said John Crooke Jr., duly made and executed, etc." This tract was purchased by Joseph Helby, of the Council of Proprietors of West New Jersey, it being a part of their last purchase as stated in the deed. This deed is signed by John Crooke, Jr., and Catharinje Crooke, and witnessed by "Badsliijavn DeWit, Petrus Bogardus and Will Anderson, Jr."
BIOGRAPHY: Alexander Rosenkrans probably settled on the Shappanack tract in 1731, as in June of that year, deeds of partition were executed between Rosenkrans and Schoonmaker, setting off for each a farm of 220 acres, including the river flats, or "low lands," the division line at the road being the small stream which descends the hill just north of the stone dwelling now standing there, Rosenkrans having taken the upper, or northeastern farm, and Schoonmaker the lower one. Of the low lands Alexander received 70 acres and Schoonmaker 60, and an island of ten acres in the rivers as shown by a map made at the time. On the plateau at the cross roads, twelve or fifteen rods west of the "Old Mine," or river road, Alexander built him a house as seen on the map, on the site of the present frame dwelling now occupied by Joseph H. Hull. That house was undoubtedly built of logs, as were most of the dwellings of that early period, and perhaps converted into a fort, or block house, during the Revolution by his son, Colonel John, who then lived on the premises and had a log fort. In 1742, Alexander Rosenkrans, of Walpack, New Jersey, purchased of Fredrick Schoonmaker, of Marbletown, Ulster County, New York, his one-half interest in this Shappanack tract, for which he paid him £4OO.
BIOGRAPHY: The deed showing this purchase is dated February 2nd, in the sixteenth year of the reign of King George the second, King of Great Britain, France and Ireland, and of our Lord Christ, 1742 - 1743. It is signed "Fredrijck Schoonmaker" and "Eva Schoonmaker" and witnessed by "Jacob Schoonmaker, Patt Ker, Thomas Schoonmaker." This half tract, or lower farm, was evidently purchased by Alexander for his son Harmen, as on the 27th March following he deeded it to him. This deed is in possession of Peter Dewitt of Somerville, New Jersey, of which a copy has been obtained. Three years after selling to Harmen, Alexander sold the other half of the tract, the original homestead of nearly 500 acres, to his youngest son Johannis (Colonel John) for £400, and the annual rent of one pepper corn only if demanded." This deed to Johannis Rosenkrans, in possession of the writer, is dated March 27, 1745, and signed Alexander (A.R.) Rosenkrans, and Marriky (X) Rosekrans; witnessed by Jacobus Schoonmaker and James Hyndshaw. This is the last record found of Alexander and Marriky, his wife, or Marretjen, as given in the marriage record. As he was then 85 years of age, he probably died soon after and was buried in the graveyard of the first Walpack church, on the Nicholas Schoonhoven farm, now owned and occupied by Daniel S. Smith, who married Amanda Rosenkrans (256), a great-great granddaughter of Alexander. In the deed from Harmen to Isaac VanCampen, 1754, Alexander, of whom the property was purchased, is spoken of as "the departed," having died prior to that date. No lettered stone can now be found to indicate the place of his and his wife’s burial, but we trust that they will be found and will come forth "to the resurrection of life" at the resurrection of the just.
BIOGRAPHY: Alexander and his wife were evidently church members, since from 1696, to his marriage 1713, his name appears frequently on the Rochester church book as sponsor at the Baptism of children, and from their marriage to their removal to Walpack, 1731, their names appear together in the records. the last time being at the baptism of his grandchild and namesake Alexander, son of Jacobus and Maria (R.) Schoonmaker, October 12, 1735. This was after their removal to New Jersey, and probably while on a visit to their friends and relatives in Ulster County. Alexander had seven children, as found in the records: Maria, Harmen, Magdalena, Catrina, Johannis, Johannis 2nd, and Helenah.
BIOGRAPHY: 3. ANNATJE ROSENKRANS, daughter of Harmon Hendrick, was baptized in Kingston, August 27, 1662, and died young.
BIOGRAPHY: 4. RACHEL ROSENKRANS, baptized August 21, 1663; married Gysbert VanGarden, who settled about 1684 on a farm in Rochester, on the Rondout. He was the son of Albert Gysbertsen, and Aeltje Wiggers, who came to Kingston from Heerde, a Province of Gelderland prior to 1660. Gysbert’s name previous to I684 is found in the records as Gysbert Alberts, but in a Petition to the Governor, 1684, he signed his name Gysbert VanGarden, and since then he and his descendants have had the family name of VanGarden, now usually spelled VanGorden.
