JOHN HAGERMAN
4
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. Nicholas was a close friend of Jesse
Ketchum of Toronto, they were both Methodist converts and
did much to further the cause of Methodism. Sinclair
Holden Hagerman was the first Druggist in Markham. Nathan
Oscar operated a store in Victoria Square.
