Beach Family Line
My 4th Great-Grandfather.
David and his wife, Sarah Luke came from Morris Town, New Jersey, USA to the Renfrew County area of Ontario, Canada.
He finally located at what is now Beachburg, of which village he was the founder. The records fail to show when David moved his family to Beachburg, but it is most probable that all his children were born on the South Gower farm.
Mr. Norman W. Beach of Winchester writes: "I notice by my records that David purchased in 1831, Lot 2, Concession 4, South Gower, from James Fleming. In 1835, he sold the west half of this lot to David Shiach.
The east half was seized by the Sheriff in 1836 and sold - the best thing that could happen to David as the land was light soil.
David then went to Beachburg where the soil was good." The compiler feels that David Beach actually moved to Beachburg in 1835 after his sale of property to David Shiach, and just abandoned the remaining property as it was worthless.
Records available at Beachburg seem to confirm this point. From this time forward David's undertakings were successful and prosperous. At Beachburg, he built the first hotel, tannery, grist and sawmill.
