as a common settler. This was amended some time later,
when he was able to prove U.E.L. status. This was accomp-
lished by one Rueben Sherwood who swore an affidavit in
his favor. John was unable to write and signed his land
petition with an X. He eventually drew 600 acres of land
in Elizabeth Tp. Two of these lots were at New Dublin and
one lot at Green Bush. These are all in Leeds County. The
first map made of the surveyed part of Elizabethtown shows
John Hagerman on Lot 23 Con.3. This was later shown to be
in the name of Zacharia Hagerman who was the youngest son
of John Sr.

for George III at Culloden and again at Quebec. However he was not a UEL so his land petition was denied. His son Nicholas however, was a UEL though not a soldier, he was a lawyer and served in that capacity. Nicholas' son Christopher Alexander was the first Kings Council in Upper Canada. He served as a Lieut. in the war of 1812. Like his Father he too was a lawyer. He was associated with the Family Compact which didn't add to his popularity. A street in Toronto is named for him as is a Township in Parry Sound District. There is a Hagerman Street in Port Hope, Ontario. This was named after a Nicholas Hagerman who laid most of the wooden sidewalks in Port Hope at the time. Hagerman's Corner in Hamilton Tp. at the junction of Theatre Road and Dale Baltimore road was so called for the Hagerman family who lived there. This was later changed to Elmview Post Office and has since disappeared.

settlers about 1792. He settled first in Mohawk Valley - this proved unsatisfactory so he moved on to Canada via Niagara Falls. John drew Lot 6 Con.5 Markham Tp. but died before securing title to it and his sole son and Heir at Law, Nicholas claimed his Father's land before the Heir and Devisee Commission on July 1814. His claim was allowed (RG 40 Nicholas Hagerman Parcel 5). Hagerman's corners in Markham Tp. is named after him - it is one concession south of Unionville. Decendants settled in Markham Tp. at Hagerman's Corners, Victoria Square, Locust Hill, Pickering and Uxbridge Tps.

Since the above was written (abt. 1970) I have received a very informative "blurb" written by an (unknown to me) Author. If anyone reading this could let me know who it was - I would like to "give credit where credit is due" and if possibe cite the ref. from which the information was derived.
During the 30 years war the Swedes under Gustavus Adolphus conquered
Bremen, Germany about 1631. A boy name Hagemann was working in the fields
on his father's farm just outside Bremen . The Swedish picked him up along
with the animals (oxen) he was using. He became a soldier of fortune and
sold his services to those who would pay the most. When he was about 45,
then serving in Constantinople, he decided to quit before it was too late.
He had saved his money and returned home apparently well and wealthy. Some
say he had a money belt filled with gold. He found that his mother and dad
had died and a younger brother had the farm. Not wishing to farm he went
into Bremen and built a hotel on the quay and named it 'Stat London'. It
catered to the English trade and remained in the family until the Napoleonic
Wars. Napoleon took Bremen in 1806. He declared a blockade against
Britain, and Britain declared one against French controlled Europe. During
this period the family lost the hotel and their money too likely. The
French drafted the oldest son of every family into their army which wasn't
very popular. There were 4 boys and 2 girls in the Hagemann family. The
oldest Fredrich ran away first to England, then to New Orleans, then they
lost track of him. Nicholas the next oldest was a sailor and died of Yellow
Fever in Havanna, Cuba in 1827. Gottleib born 1794 had to take the place of
his elder brothers and served in the French Army until Napolean was deposed
after the battle of Leipsic. He was again drafted this time into the allied
army and was one days march away from Waterloo when that battle took place.
His younger brother Joachim Diedrick*, b 1796, remained in Bremen and
acquired an education. He studied navigation and sailed as a navigator to
Virginia and the West Indies. He and Gottlieb settled in Virginia at St.
Petersburg, then went to Minden New York and then traded their property for
land in Caledon Twp in 1832. Joachim had a superior education to all the
settlers in Caledon. He became Overseer of Roads, a Justice of the Peace,
Notary Public, etc. He left the farming to his brother. He married Sophia
Haines, the daughter of Charles Haines of Cheltenham.
Gottlieb is buried in the Englewood Cemetery near Cheltenham. He never
married. Joachim D. is buried there too but there is no stone marker.
Sophia went to Bruce County with her younger son Fred, and is buried there.
She was much younger than her husband. On Gottlieb's tombstone the name is
spelled in the original manner, on Sophia's stone the new spelling
(Hagerman) is used.'
