Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 168-169:
Jacob Eede, one of the largest land owners and most extensive farmers in the township of Colchester South ... was born in Gosfield township, County of Essex, Oct. 3, 1841, son of George and Elizabeth (Arner) Eede.
George Eede was a native of Sussex, England, born Jan. 21, 1812, son of Richard and Frances (Harrington) Eede. When twenty-one years of age he came to Canada, locating in Colchester township, County Essex, Ont... His wife in her maidenhood was Miss Elizabeth Arner, daughter of Jacob Arner of Gosfield township, who belonged to one of the U. E. Loyalist families...
The Arner family, to which Mrs. George Eede belonged, was of German origin. Jacob Arner, her grandfather, was born in Pennsylvania, of German parents. As a mere boy he was forced into the American army, but being loyal to his king he escaped when the army was near the Canadian border, and in time made his way to the County of Essex, settling in Gosfield township, where he was given 200 acres of land as a reward for his loyalty. Adjoining this he purchased another 200 acres, making 400 acres in one tract in the southwestern part of the township, along the lake shore. During his lifetime the greater part of this land was cleared and converted into farm land. He married Barbara Arnold, who was born in Germany, but as a child was brought by her parents to America, her mother, however, dying on the voyage. Mr. Arner and his children made their home in Sandwich. To Jacob and Barbara Arner were born: John, who died young; Jacob; Susan, who married John Whittle, of Gosfield; Magdalene, who married (first) a Mr. Blakely, and (second) a Mr. West, of County Kent; Elizabeth, who married Joseph Julian, of County Kent; and Mary, who married Henry Huffman, of Colchester township.
Jacob Arner, son of Jacob and father of Mrs. Elizabeth (Arner) Eede, was born on the Gosfield township farm Dec. 3, 1793...
