As Loyalists to the Crown, Miles and his parents Miles Sr (1740 - 5 Aug 1802) & Martha Margaret Patience (Secord) (1745 - abt 1815) immigrated to Canada in 1787. On 11 Jun 1811 at St Ann's, he married Catherine Ann Taylor (14 Jun 1797 - 16 Nov 1867).

Miles is listed as the father to these 13 children, but it is doubtful that Catherine is the mother to the youngest 6 or 7. I doubt she was still having children in her 50's, and a Mary Springsted is listed as "Mother" on the marriage licenses of the youngest 6 children. (The only other record that I can find regarding Mary is the 1852 Canadian Census where she is living with the Hitchcock family in Gainsborough Twp.)

Lovinia Hitchcock 1820 – 1866
Daniel Secord Hitchcock 1823 – 1908
George William Hitchcock 1830 – 1900
Elizabeth Ann Hitchcock 1830 –

Euphemia Jane "Fanny" Hitchcock 1836 – 1874
James Hitchcock 1840 – 1913

Henry Hitchcock 1846 – 1913
Solomon Hitchcock 1850 –
Lydia Catharine Hitchcock 1854 – 1912
Ellen Hitchcock 1856 – 1921

I don't know if their graves are marked, however, in Row 4 Number 6 - "In loving memory of Miles HITCHCOCK Sr his wife Patience SECORD and their children's children forever."
