Another early settler in South Dumfries was Andrew D VanEvery.
He was a native of New York State and came to Canada early in the present century.
Some years later, in 1819 he located on a wild lot in South Dumfries Township.
His wife's maiden name was Nancy VanSellas.
She died on the 2nd of December 1880 has been the mother of 14 children, of whom, Samuel, John, William N., Jane, Malinda, Lumeul, Rachel, Ellen, George, and Mary Ann are still living, And Sarah, Martha, Mary, and Wilhelmina are dead. Mr. VanEvery carried on the operations of farming through a long and not uneventful life and died July 25th, 1873. I just submitted a suggestion to edit the birth date. I thought I would explain my reasoning, and the submission form didn't allow me to do so.

The tombstone says he was 78 years 4 months when he died. This translates to March 1798.
If there is a documented source for Nov 1795, that's great. I'd like to see it cited on this page, though, since it contradicts the tombstone.
I recalculated the dates on my genealogy program and it came up with March 22, 1795.
At Andrews's death, he was 78 years 4months 3 days old.∼The Van Every's were early pioneers in the Mohawk Valley of Upper New York. During the American Revolution, the Van Every's remained true to the British Crown and fought alongside the British Army. Suffering persecution from their neighbours following the end of the war, they sought land grants in Upper Canada and Andrew Van Every, who was the second eldest son of MacGregory Van Every, was granted 200 acres consisting of Lots 12-13, Concession 1, West Flamboro.
