- Notes from Karen Black's web site:
In a will which was probated 16 Feb 1822 in Percy Twp., Newcastle District, Canada, Barnabas Brunson left his son "Orsonus" five pounds to be paid two years after his decease in cattle or grain.
Dick Bronson had originally thought that Orsemus might be the Orlando Brunson who married Lucy Baker and settled in Quebec. However, evidence suggests that Orsemus was living in Percy Twp. between 1804 and 1844. Early census records for Percy Twp. indicate that Orfamus (sic) was married and had two daughters by 1804, three daughters by 1805 and three daughters and a son by 1816, all born during a time period while Orlando was having his children in Quebec. In the 1828 Percy Twp. Assessment, Orsemus' wife is identified as Dorcas. Also in 1828, Proceedings of a Town Meeting,Percy Township, we find about 20 or so appointments, including making Jonathan Tripp and Orsemen (sic) Brunson pathmasters and William Stone a town warden. Orsemus appears in census records as late as 1844, although by this time his father is dead and his brothers are no longer in the vicinity.
