Individual Details

Dana relates, "Simeon was granted 100 arces of land on Springhill, 2 July 1853, but lost his land to John Perry to a debt. He then moved to Salem and lived with Daniel Perry, his father-in-law."

Tamzin is recalled as "a very colorful lady, who always wore a bonnet with a lace around it. She smoked a clay pipe and had her own spitoon," now in the possession of Dana Ryder. In her old age she was cared for in Havelock NB by her daughter Mary Ann and her husband Harding Kierstead.

Simeon and Tamson are buried in the Wesleyan Methodist Cemetery, New Canaan; their tombstone reads: "Blessed are the dead/ who live in the Lord/ In Memory of/ Simeon Ryder/ who died/ Dec 27 1882/ aged 63 years" and on the reverse: "Tamzin/ His Wife/ Died March 4, 1907/ aged 81 years."
