Commemorative Biographical Record of Kent County, Ontario, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1904, pg. 248-249:
Collins Handy, Sr., Morpeth, Ont. In 1704 a family by the name of Moss
emigrated from England and settled on the seashore in the state of
Connecticut... One Theopolus Moss was born from this Puritan Family April 13, 1718. Years after he married Miss Ruth Ramsey, and raised a large family. On Nov. 25, 1740, was born one Ebenezer who, in 1762, married Miss Esther Preston, and they raised a family of seven. One of the daughters, named Lois, married one Henry Handy, Nov. 7, 1785. From this marriage the subject of our sketch was born, being one of a family of five sons and two daughters. Ebenezer, the eldest, married Sarah A. Baldwin... Collins was third in the family.
Collins Handy was born at Wellingport, Connecticut,
April 7, 1811. In 1816 the family moved to Salisbury, Herkimer county, New
York. The eldest brother, Ebenezer, learned the carpenter's and joiner's
trade, and in 1831 came to Canada by way of Buffalo and Port Stanley. He
assisted in building the Hamilton and Warren mills at Kettle Creek. In 1831 he
was joined by our subject, Collins, who worked with his brother "Eb" for two
years, and after the completion of the mill they went to Palmyra and built the
first frame house in the township of Orford, for a Mr. Eberle, at or near the
site of the brick now occupied by Edward Eberle, in Palmyra. They then
assisted in building the Freeman Green residence in Howard, which still stands
at its original name, neatly and well kept up, overlooking the broad waters of
Lake Erie. They then built the "Baldwin Hotel," at Clearville, owned and
occupied by Capt. David Baldwin. Mr. Handy married Mr. Baldwin's daughter,
Rebecca, on April 22, 1833...
