Francis: (from Pioneer Life of the Bay of Quinte - p 835)
was a native of Duchess County, NY, and a weaver by trade. By 1802 he and Hanna had 7 children.
They realized that their children would have a better chance a acquire homes for themselves in the new province of Upper Canada and resolved to emigrate.
With their children and all their worldly effects they followed the Mohawk river as far as they could in a small open boat.

They paddled away from the land of their birth to a destination unknown from them.
Following the usual route, hauling their boat between water stretches and sleeping under it when overtaken by night, they reached in safety the shore of Lake Ontario at the mouth of the Oswego River.
Easily making their way from there, they crossed to the Canadian shore.
Then they proceeded up the Bay of Quinte until they landed at White's Creek.
There they remained a few years, but settled in lot 17 in the 2nd concession of Sidney.
As by the time the Vandervoorts arrives, earlier settlers on the Front had made a good beginning, and the weaver pioneer was able to ply his trade from the start, which was an advantage his neighbors had not enjoyed.
