History
James Brophy emigrated from Ireland in 1816, having served with the 37th Regiment of Foot during the Peninsular War, and transferred with the Second Battalion to Upper Canada. He was granted 100 acres of land upon settling in Upper Canada near Marmora, which he sold to move to Kingston. He served with Kingston Police, and would build most of his wealth in real estate. He married Margaret Kelleher, with whom he had several children.
