Titus Greer Simons' Jacket-- Part 2

Titus Greer Simons (1765-1829) was born in Enfield, Connecticut, one of ten children.  In 1781, his family moved to Canada as Loyalists.  They lived in Montreal, Kingston and Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Simons worked as aditor and publisher of the Upper Canada Gazette in Niagara and Toronto until 1801.  He then began farming in West Flamborough and became involved in the local militia.

He recovered from the wounds received at the Battle of Lundy's Lane and eventually became colonel of the 2nd Regiment.  In 1816, he was appointed 1st sheriff of the Gore District which later became Hamilton.

So, A Loyalist.  And Then Fought the Country in Which he Was Born.  --Brock-Perry
