Col. James Vrooman, 1794-1871
I am currently writing a M.A. thesis on the life and times of Col. Vrooman, for whom the village of Vroomanton, Brock Township, Ontario, Canada was named.
Col. Vrooman was a soldier in the Glengarry Light Infantry Fencibles along with his brother, George during the War of 1812.He was twice married and raised 17 children.One of the children was Adam b. Nov. 7, 1847.-a graduate of the medical college in Toronto. Adam married Mary Whiteside.
Any information on Col. James or the family would be appreciated.
