SOURCE: "Supplement to The Jonathan Collins Family & Descendants", by Ruby Collins Markland, 1985, page 4. < Listed as child 7 in this source. Place of birth in this source: Warren Co., NJ. SOURCE: "The Lundy Family & Their Descendants" by William C. Armstrong, pages 78, 79. < Jemima was 1st cousin to Mary Lundy who was married to Richard Harrold, 1805, Guilford Co., NC. Mt. Pleasant Mo. Mtg., Grayson Co., VA: 27-12mo-1806 - Jemima Hiett (formerly Lundy) disowned. It is a tradition that Jemima Lundy was born at Lundy's Lane, where was fought, during the War of 1812, the Battle of Lundy's Lane. At Deep River Mo. Mtg., Guilford Co., NC, 3-1mo-1785, Amos Lundy and wife Ann and children Rachel, Ann, Ebenezer, Tamer, Nathan, James, Jemima, and Susannah received on certificate from Kingwood Mo. Mtg., NJ, dated 9-9mo-1784. Either this Jemima is the one who married 1806 to William Hiatt, her date of birth thus being c1782, and the place NJ, or else this Jemima died young and a subsequent daughter was born c1788/9 after Amos Lundy had removed with his family to Grayson Co., VA, and was also named Jemima. Many of the pioneers were very careless about keeping family records, and possibly Jemima was actually born c1782 in NJ, rather than 1788/9, according to her record on the 1850 and 1860 Census reports, and in Virginia (not NJ). Since she would have been but 2 years old when the family removed from NJ to NC and VA, she would have personal recollections of having lived only in VA. That she is a daughter of Amos and Ann (Collins) Lundy, there can be no doubt. It is not only possible, but probable, that there was but one Jemima in the family of Amos Lundy, and that the 6 or 7 year discrepancy in the age of Jemima came about as suggested. Returning to the tradition that Jemima Lundy was born at Lundy's Lane, the land was owned by Jemima's uncle, William Lundy, and was on the Canadian side of Nigara Falls, in the Province of Ontario, near enough to the Falls so that the sound of the water could be heard from the farm. Jemima, however, was probably born in Warren Co., NJ. Benjamin Lundy, the noted abolitionist of Civil War days, was a second cousin to Jemima, their grandfathers being brothers. Jemima's brother, James Lundy, was great-grandfather of the late William Wade Hinshaw, of Washington, DC, his mother being Anna Harriett Lundy, dau. of Levi Lundy, and grand-daughter of James. Mr. Hinshaw has published numerous volumes of "The Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy."
