The internment of Isaac Haney has been a subject of great interest among family members for many years.
Correspondences between family members in the early 1900s who were alive at the time of Issac's death place his internment at Hanslers. Interviews with with local residents who remembered the stone indicate it was near a dip where a tree was standing in 2014. There is no longer a stone marker.
Isaac Haney's birth year of 1763 is more by tradition than proof. The family lore states that he arrived from New Jersey with a group of other settlers, and he may be the Haney who arrived with the Whitsell party on 9 July 1787. In 1788, he is listed as a settler employed by August Jones in the survey of Township 9, Nassau, later called Thorold. There he received crown grants that included the right to the winds, the wilds, and the water.
While a miller by trade, he seemed to travel a bit in the Niagara region. Robert Hamilton notes that for a time he was in York, and during that time he bought lot 11 in Concession 5 and 6 from Jacob Miller, part of the land Hanslers is in today. He served as Warden in Pelham in the midsts of the War of 1812. After the war he sold the lands on concession 5 & 6 and purchased lots 15 & 16 in concession 9 of Pelham to be divided among his sons.
By 1828, Isaac turned over control of the Thorold lands and milling operations in Thorold to his son Matthew. He may be the extra adult male living with Rev Leonard Haney in the 1828 census of Pelham.
Some contend that he went for a time with the younger Isaac to Glen Colin. If he did, he wasn't there very long. A casket purchased for Isaac is recorded in the books of the Morris & Sons funeral home in April 1833. It seems to be the last record that can be attributed to Isaac.
Isaac Haney and Mary Haney's children left an indelible mark on both the Canada and the United States. In 2012 his name was included in the heritage list of the City of Thorold.
