From The Loyalists in Ontario comes the note: Barnum, Nathaniel Bunnell, settled Charlotteville, his children:
1. David Wheeler Barnum, got his O.C.4 Dec 1834
2. Charles D. Barnum O.C. 17 Oct 1839
3. Thomas Arnold Barnum, O.C 28 Jan 1841
4. Lois Green Barnum m. William Kimber, O.C. 3 Oct 1833
5. Henry V Barnum, O.C. 10 Mar 1834
6. James Russell Barnum, O.C. 10 Mar 1834
7. Christina Barnum m. Henry Liger, of Woodhouse, O.C. 7 Feb 1833
8. Andrew Willson Barnum of Bayham, O.C. 22 Dec 1832
9. Samantha M Barnum m. James Clark of Walsingham, O.C. 6 Feb 1828
O.C. stands for Order in Council., which signifies that they are now either married (if female) or over age 21, and can claim their free land grant as a child of a Loyalist. In the case of males, it gives you a good idea of when they were born. All those with no location given were in Charlotteville, near their father.
