ID # 2985, (-1829)
| Father | Titus Simons |
| Mother | Jerusha Kingsley (-1798) |
| Marriage | Titus Geer Simons married Elizabeth Green on 3 June 1798. Per Robert Addison's marriage records for St. Mark's Anglican Church at Niagara Town: Weddings Niagara 1798 Titus Simons bachr. and Elizabeth Green spr. 3 June 1798. |
| Marriage | He married Hannah Coon. |
| Death | He died on 27 August 1829 at Flamborough West Township. |
| Note | Titus Geer Simons' first wife was Elizabeth Green. A record of their marriage is to be found in the marriage record of Robert Addison of St. Mark's Anglican Church at Niagara Town (later Niagara-on-the-Lake). It's very brief and reads: Weddings Niagara 1798 Titus Simons bachr. and Elizabeth Green spr. 3 June 1798 We have no record of Elizabeth Green's death, nor has a record been found of Titus' marriage to Hannah Coon Van Every. For the moment, the best that can be said is that since Matilda, shown as the daughter of Titus and Hannah was baptized in 1815, they would have been married a few years prior, probably before the War of 1812, wherein Titus served. Titus was severely wounded at the Battle of Lundy's Lane in July of 1814. Titus G. Simons was a sheriff of the Gore District and at one time had a charge of assault brought against him. A lawyer was taken from his home and tarred and feathered for what were believed to be political reasons and Simons was found guilty and fined. See Flamborough Obituary Notices, 1823-1859, Records from the former townships of Beverly and East and West Flamborough, published by the Waterdown-East Flamborough Heritage Society, Waterdown, 1989, page 13. On the morning of Thursday, 20 August 1829, at his house in Flamborough West, Titus G. Simons, Colonel of the 2nd Regiment Gore Militia and formerly sheriff of the Gore District. Colonial Advocate: 27 August 1829. |
