Born in Holland New York 14 Oct 1744. I have also seen sources suggest he was born in the Netherlands. Son of Francis Powley Sr. Mother currently unknown. The family were Dutch. Spelling of the surname is sometimes given as Pauli. Jacob married Annetje "Nancy" Van Vorst about 1774 in Schenectady, New York, although some sources give a date of 1769. This date seems unlikely given the known dates of the births of children, the earliest of which is 1775. He was a British Loyalist, like his father. Post Revolutionary War, both settled in the Kingston Ontario area.
While a resident of Schenectady NY, he enlisted 8 Dec 1781 in the King's Royal Regiment, 2nd Battalion. In the spring of 1782, Major John Ross and the men of the 2nd Batt. KRR NY were dispatched to Oswego to occupy and rebuild the fort there. During the fall of 1782 and winter 1782/83 they were ordered to Cataraqui (near what is now Kingston, Ontario), where they remained into 1784.
During the above period of time, there were no children born into the family of Jacob Powley, adding to the speculation that Jacob was at Cataraqui during this time with Major Ross. Family tradition says that he 'fled to the Kingston area and lived with the Indians until the end of the war'. Whichever is true, he was in the Kingston Ontario area during the period while his family remained in New York state.
According to the obituary of son Jacob Powley "During the Revolution his father was taken prisoner by the Indians, and kept in Canada for 7 years. After peace was declared, he brought his family to Canada, leaving them at what is now Collins Bay , west of Kingston. (US/CAN 971.3V4md, p. 259)" This explains the Muster Roll which cites him for desertion and the entry which reads "gone to States for family"(US/CAN 971m2ce p.246).
In 1784 he returned to the United States for his family, returning to Upper Canada by 1785. He and his father were both on the United Empire Loyalist list and thus eligible for both land grants and settlement supports and assistance. On 2 Sep 1785 he received the first of several land grants.
A record of Jacob's family appears on the 1786 Provision List. At that point there were five children in the family. Being on the list indicates that the family needed assistance to survive, because they were not yet self sufficient. This was common among early Loyalist settlers, because the land grants most were given were essentially wilderness, and it took some time and a great deal of labor to establish farms. One tidbit of interest - the Provision List indicates Jacob was 5' 5" tall.
Of the known children of Jacob and Annetje, Elizabeth, Francis, William, Jacob and James were born in New York State. Hannah, Charles, Mary and Rebecca were all born in Upper Canada. Charles appears to have died as an infant, but the rest all grew up and had families. There are 66 grandchildren known as of writing - thus Jacob has many descendents!!
His gravestone reads: "Here Lays The Body Of/Jacob Powley/Who Gave Much/Satisfaction Until/The Last Period When He/Sat In His Chair Facing The/Door On The 21st Day of June/2 o'clock Afternoon Year 1814/He Lay Down His He[a]d With/Out A Struggle Or a Groan/To Sleep In Silence Being/Aged 69Yrs 8M 7Dys."
This limestone slab was cut and engraved by hand - the work being done by a friend and neighbor. It was 18 inches high - 18 inches wide and 3 inches thick. Some years ago the stone was broken and removed, but by chance was recovered some years later. The stone is now in Oakville, Ontario at the home of J. Powley, great-great-great grandson of Jacob. The grave Itself is located only a few feet south of the southwest corner of the Methodist Church at Cataraqui. The above inscription is an exact copy word by word, and line by line.

Born on the Canadian prairie ? a wintery day on December 20, 1928 in Forrest of the Elton municipality near Brandon, Manitoba ? Eileen was the second child of Halhad and Eva Shelvey. Following her brother, Eileen was the eldest daughter, with four other little ones soon to follow. Along with her siblings she trekked across farmer?s fields to attend a attended a two -room, and then boarded in Brandon to complete high school.
After graduating, she set her sights on nursing and entered the Affiliated Nurses Course, which provided training at a variety of institutions including Brandon Mental Hospital, Brandon General, Winnipeg Grace, Winnipeg Children?s, and Ninette Sanitorium for those living with tuberculosis. Her training included scrubbing floors, tending to patients, working nights, and she nursed the first boy who died of polio in Brandon in 1951.
Early in her early nursing career, she fell in love with Hubert Hall. They were married on September 16, 1955 and relocated to the west coast, where Eileen worked at the Portland Hospital, and Hugh pursued his education at Portland University. Eileen?s tenacity ? hard work, grit and sensibility ? secured her many well-earned positions and she was quickly respected among her colleagues. Over a fifteen tenure of formal nursing, Eileen worked at many hospitals including Vancouver, B.C., Eugene Oregon, Columbia, Ohio, Long Beach and Garden Grove, California. Her gift to comfort others continued throughout her life, as she was often found caring for individuals experiencing illness or hardship. Her home frequently a place for rest and refuge.
Eileen and Hugh were blessed to have two sons, Gregory, and Jeffrey. Eileen created a space for children to thrive ? trampolines, motorbikes, and many summers spent in Manitoba. She was more than a mom ? she was also a friend. They also travelled extensively through South America, Europe, Canada, Alaska, and Asia.
Together, Hugh and Eileen were actively involved in their local church. They were generous supporters of many groups aiming to improve the lives of young people and to give hope to those in need. Eileen was very faithful in her service to helping others, through ministries such as Royal Kids camps, Teen Challenge, Wycliffe Bible translators, the Widower?s group, and countless other individuals who she reached in her quiet and humble manner.
Eileen was truly a special person with a kind heart. Over the years she relied on her deep faith in God for the strength to carry on, to persevere and was always grateful for the gifts of life. | Shelvey, Eileen Gertrude (I5811)
