John Fillmore was born in 1763 in Cumberland Township on the Chignecto Isthmus, which was founded in 1763. The township was situated between the Aulac and Laplanche Rivers, and is now split between Westmorland County, New Brunswick and Cumberland County, Nova Scotia.[1] New Brunswick was not established as a separate province until 1784. This may account for the odd note in the 1851 Census that John entered the colony in 1786. He was the son of John Fillmore and Leah Day, New England Planters who were among the original grantees of Cumberland Township. John Fillmore Sr. appears in the 1786 list of residents of the adjoining Sackville Township (which included Jolicure), which may also account for the 1851 census note.[2]
He married Jemima Tingley in 1785.[3] They had 10 children, whom they raised in Jolicure, New Brunswick. John was a farmer, having inherited his father's Jolicure homestead. In 1851, John was a widow and was living with his daughter Charlotte and her family.[4]
John died on April 7, 1856 at the age of 92. He was buried in the Jolicure Cemetery, along with his wife.[5]
