4) NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):
Cheryl Kemp Taber researched and collected a wealth of information about the family of Abraham Dafoe and allied families, and posted it in her WorldConnect database on Rootsweb (https://wc.rootsweb.com) titled "Kemps and Kin" updated 27 December 2017. Her notes for this the wife of Abraham Dafoe are incorporated below.
At this time, Katreen's birth date and parents names are not known. A record of 25 June 1781 says the wife of Abraham Dafoe of St. Johns in Quebec is 26 years old[2]. Therefore, she was born in about 1755 if that record is correct.
Information on the United Empire Loyalists' Association of Canada (UELAC) website includes this information for the wife of Abraham Dafoe (1755-1815)[1]:
"Wife's name: Katreen Diamond b. 1755 m. 1775 d. before 1792 daughter of John Diamond & Christiana Loyst."
However, online family trees indicate that this John Diamond was born in about 1755 and Elizabeth Loyst was born in about 1768, and they were married in 1782. If that information is correct, then Katreen could not have been their daughter. Perhaps she was the daughter of another Diamond family.
Abraham Dafoe probably married Katreen --?-- in about 1775, perhaps in Albany, New York[1-2].
They had six children[1-2]:
* Mary Dafoe (1776-1832), married John Kemp (1768-1864) in 1795.
* female Dafoe (1780-1780)
* Jacob Dafoe (1784-1872), married Anne Phillips (1786-1871) in 1804.
* Elizabeth Dafoe (1786-1861), married Henry Sharp (1782-1853) in 1809.
* George Dafoe (1788-1883), married Elizabeth Sills (1791-1860).
* Lucy Dafoe (1791-????)
The Dafoe family resided in Albany and Little Hoosick, New York before and during the American Revolution. After several Dafoe family members, including Abraham, were captured and subsequently paroled, but were in St. Johns in southern Quebec by 1782, and then migrated to Fredericksburgh in what is now Lennox and Addington County, Ontario before 1786 and they were granted land there by the British Governor General[2].
Abraham's wife, Katreen (--?--) Dafoe, died in about 1792 after the birth of their last child, Lucy Dafoe who was baptised 11 December 1791 in Fredericksburgh[1-2].
There is no known death or burial record for Katreen (--?--) Dafoe.
