Anna Catharina Lehman 1720 - 1784
Jeremiah was a member of the 11th Regiment of Albany County, New York and later a member of the Butler Rangers in the Revolutionary War. Jeremiah was a soldier in the War of 1812 as well. Jeremiah with some of his brothers and cousins are supposed to have left New York in 1786 and first settled in Upper Canada along the Niagara River until the War of 1812 when they were compelled to move further into the interior, with Jeremiah settling in Westminister, County of Middlesex.
The farm of Jeremiah, a united Empire Loyalist grant, was near what is now the village of Lambeth, near London, Ontario, and the old burial ground in that village, upon which an Episcoplian Church was erected, was formerly a part of this property and was presented to the Township. Jeremiah was buried in the churchyard at Lambeth, where a slab marks his grave "In memory of Jeremiah Schram, Died Nov. 10, 1826, at 65 yrs." also "Margaret his wife died June 13, 1840, at 67 yrs".
At the time of his death, Jeremiah is said to have owned four hundred acres of land near what is now North Street, Lambeth, Ontario. The home, shortly after his dearth, was destroyed by fire, losing valuable papers, books etc..
The land for this cemetery---the Lambeth Community Cemetery---was deeded by Jeremiah Schram in the early 1800s to be used by the general public.
From Delaware & Westminster Townships Honouring Our Roots:
"In was in 1826 that Jeremiah Schram gave one acre of his farm to the town to be used as a burying ground. Today this cemetery remains unique in that it is owned, not by the congregation of the church it surrounds, but by the public, as Schram intended. The earliest gravestone to be found in this cemetery is that of Schram himself. Many pioneers of all denominations are buried here, indicating Jeremiah Schram's ecumenical mindedness, which was unusual for the time."
