Secretary William Jarvis was born 1756 in Stamford Conn. He joined John Grave Simcoe's Queen's Rangers in 1777, was wounded at the
battle of Spencer's Tavern in Virginia in 1781 and commissioned cornet in 1782. On returning home he found the hostilities to loyalists resulted in violence, he left for England where he secured Simcoe as a patron. He was rewarded with the prestigious and lucrative post of provincial secretary and registrar and left for Upper Canada in the summer of 1792.
