"PERREGRINE MAITLAND GROVER - Notes compiled by: Kit Cutting
Perregrine Maitland Grover - generally known to his many friends and associates simply as "P.M." - was born in Grafton, Ontario, CANADA, a small community in the southern part of Northumberland County, in 1817. He was a son of John Grover, a Major in the Militia, and Marry Merriam, both of whom were of staunch U.E. Loyalist families and had come to Canada from the town of Grafton in the state of Massachussetts, U.S.A., and settled in the newly formed township.
During his early manhood, P.M. moved about a great deal in the new country, gaining a knowledge of the people and conditions that was to become of vast importance to him in later years. About 1842, he settled in the young town of Peterborough where he entered into partnership with James Foley, who, a short time later, became his brother-in-law. The firm of Grover & Foley, originally a real "general" store, included a lumber yard, a similar branch of the business in the hamlet of Keene, as well as the small store of James Foley, located in Norwood, which had been opened in 1837.
In 1846, Mr. Grover married Harriet Maria Keeler, a daughter of the original founder of our fair village. Shortly thereafter, the Keeler and Grover interests were united and the firm of Grover & Foley was dissolved, both men finding it necessary to return to Norwood where a rapidly expanding community demanded their full attention. Soon after merging of the Keeler - Grover interests, systematic planning and surveying was undertaken for the establishment of the village, which did not fully materialize for many years thereafter.
Mr. Grover was a man of many talents and widely diversified interests, all of them pertaining to the advancement and welfare of his chosen community. About 1850, he built "Balsam Farm Home" amid the rolling acres which were under his control and management. The home is still standing and, although showing the ravages of time and the relentless elements, is today a beautiful spot on the northeasterly side of Mill Street. It was here too, that the family were born and reared.
In 1860, P.M. was elected as Reeve of the Township of Asphodel and served in that capacity until the end of 1866, and in the election of Warden of the County early in 1867, he was elected to that position, which he also held for the succeeding year. In 1867, Mr. Grover entered into the political field as a Conservative candidate for Federal honours and defeated his opponent, James Anderson, by a vote of 956 to 644, thus becoming the representative of this area in the First Parliament of Canada after Confederation. He was re-elected to the second Parliament in 1872, defeating his opponent, Evans Ingraham of Otonabee, by a majority of 48 votes. Those two victories are a plain indication of the esteem in which he was held, together with his personal interest in local affairs. His manifesto to the electors prior to the second election is concrete evidence that he was a statesman rather than an ordinary politician, catering to his constituents alone.
Notes for Perregrine Maitland GROVER: The biographical sketch is taken from "The Friendly Town 1821 - 1963" by R.A. Dean, a Centennial Project (1967) of the Village of Norwood, p. 172-175: | GROVER, Peregrine Maitland (I3128)

"When the alarm was given in Concord that the British soldiers were coming, Josiah Meriam, with his sons Josiah, Jr., and Timothy, went to the village, and were later among the forces at the North Bridge, and probably crossed the meadows and appeared again at the encounter near the house. Joseph, Josiah's youngest son, then seven years old, remained at home, as he always said, 'to take care of the women', and soon went with them to a place of refuge behind the hill. The British soldiers entered the house, helped themselves to whatever breakfast they could find, taking the unbaked pies from the oven..." | MERRIAM, Josiah (I5236)

MFT now believes Pope incorrectly recorded this person as the daughter of Daniel Merriam, I5359. Records show she was really Emily Edna ROBINSON, I13208, born in Surry, NH 17 Mar 1818 to Samuel and Nancy (Harvey) Robinson. She married Daniel Merriam, I5540, 11 Sep 1840 in Walpole, NH. | MERRIAM, Emily E (I11958)

|
| 158 |
Note: In spite of the apparent date conflicts, MFT believes this person is the same person as William Holmes MERRIAM (I13387). Massachusetts Vital Records show only one person by that name having been born the Abel MERRIAM and Betsey. Suspect Pope double recorded the same person due to the different dates. | MERRIAM, William Holmes 2nd (I13388)
|
| 159 |

|
| 163 |

NOTE: This branch of MERRIAMs resulted from a name change and is not descended from the MERRIAMs of Concord, Massachusetts.
Two brothers (who were third great grandsons of John MARION, born in 1620 in England) changed their names to MERRIAM. These brothers were Joseph and William, four generations down from John Marion, as follows:
John Marion
Samuel Marion
Isaac Marion
Ignatius Marion
Joseph & William MERRIAM
Since the descendants of this branch, beginning with Joseph and William, are indeed named MERRIAM, we are pleased to be able to include them in Merriam Family Tree.

Note: Both the 1900 and 1910 US Census reports show a marriage date of 1890 which seems more likely than 1880 as May was born in 1870 and would have been only 10 years old in 1880. Furthermore, the 1880 US Census taken on 19 Jun 1880 shows Chester living at home in Randolph, Ohio. | Family F3216

|
| 176 |
NOTE: His birth is recorded as 9 Jun 1901, however that is in conflict with the birth date of his brother Donald S Merriam who records show was born 8 May 1901. Possibly they are the same person as Daniel does not appear in the 1910 US Census and Donald does. More clarification is needed. MFT | MERRIAM, Daniel (I72996)
|
| 177 |
NOTE: It seems unlikely that this person was the son of Jacob and Mary Merriam as they would have been 14 and 11 years age respectively at the time of his recorded birth. Further investigation is required. | MERRIAM, James O (I9674)
