Biography
Michael was born in 1756. He passed away in 1833.
On May 10, 1808, Michael "Korts", a yeoman of Vaughan Twp., made a land petition. He had been in Upper Canada for 3 years and had a wife and 8 children. His signature was not legible and could have been Kurtz. [1]
During the War of 1812, Michael "Korts" served as a private in the 1st York Militia. As the surviving militia rolls are incomplete, he may have served at other times as well. From Sept. 25 to Oct. 3, 1813, he was absent with leave from Lieutenant James Miles Company. [2]
