The Minakers of Marysburgh, 1784-1984 by Lloyd Minaker and Murray Clapp (Privately Published, Hardcover, First Edition, 1985). 355 pages. Condition is Good; boards show use and wear, firm binding, no writing or highlighting, no folded or torn pages. From the battlefields of the American Revolution to the quiet farmlands of Prince Edward County, Ontario, this is the remarkable saga of the Minaker family. Originally the Meinecke family of Prussia, John Henry William Minaker arrived in Canada as a Hessian soldier in 1776. In 1784, he and his wife Anne settled as United Empire Loyalists in North Marysburgh Township. Over the next two centuries, their descendants cleared the land, raised families, built communities, and spread across Canada and the United States. Painstakingly researched and richly illustrated with photographs, maps, grave markers, and family stories, this comprehensive history traces the lines of the three sons—Frederick, Lewis, and Andrew—and hundreds of their descendants. From pioneer hardships and steamboat days on the Bay of Quinte to 20th-century achievements, The Minakers of Marysburgh brings two hundred years of family and local history vividly to life. A must-have volume for anyone with Minaker (or Meinecke) roots in Prince Edward County, Quinte region historians, and students of Canadian Loyalist heritage. We welcome all offers and inquiries, more photos and information available upon request. Shipped secure and promptly with USPS mail.
