I am looking for more information on my ancestor Jacob Hackett, b. abt 1772,

Jacob HACKETT (born 3 Aug 1818)
This family migrated to Canada in 1812 and settled near Toronto. "Their
second daughter, Anna, was born on October 5, 1812 near Niagara Falls when
they were enroute to Ontario. The section in which the family settled was
known as "Upper Canada," as the elevation was higher than that at Quebec.
The county was then York, (later Peal) and Chinquocoucy was the name of the
township. This was about 20 miles southwest of Toronto; and 34 or 40 miles
north of Hamilton.
