All below from the research of Kevin Everingham:
1806 (RG 1 L3, Vol.176) James Everingham petitioned for land at Stamford, the following year, Adoram Everingham petitioned for land at Crowland township. Presumably this is a request due to their father's service during the Revolution. James and Sally lived at Stamford, Niagara District. They were granted LOT 6, CON. 1 Home District. A James Everingham worked as a pathmaster by some accounts at Crowland township, 1838 and 1841, although they likely have this James confused with another James Everinghams living in the area. The James Everingham of this page had a nephew James, who did in fact live at Crowland township.

3History of Niagara County, NY 1878
In 1806, inhabitants along the Niagara frontier were Augustus Porter, James Everingham, Jesse Ware, William Miller, William Howell, Stephen Hopkins, Philemon Baldwin, Joshua Fairbanks, Joseph Howell, Earastus Parks, Isaac Colt, James Murray...
During the year 1807, the following people settled at the falls: Adoram Everingham, a miller; John W. Stoughton, a cloth-dresser; Joshua Fairchilds who became the first tavern-keeper; and Jacob Hovey, a carpenter.

Historical Sketch of Niagara, from 1678 to 1876.. by Albert H. Porter (printed in Buffalo, NY 1876) "In 1805, Augustus Porter built a sawmill and blacksmith's shop at Niagara Falls, and in 1806 removed his family from Canandaigua to the old Steadman House near Fort Schlosser. Previous to 1805, little had been done to change the wild country. Bears were common in the surrounding forests and wolves numerous. The following persons were householders in the village previous to 1812: James Everingham, John W. Stoughton, Wm. VanNorman, Adoram Everingham, Joshua Fairchild, Ebenezer Hovey, Wm.Chapman, James Armstrong, John Sims, Jacob Hovey, Ezekiel Hill, Ralph Coffin, Ebenezer Brundage, and Oliver Udall. Immediately after the declaration of war, most of the families of the Niagara frontier, removed to the interior but remained until the British and their Indian allies invaded and laid waste our defenseless frontier."

1810 US CENSUS Cambria, Niagara, New York .. "J. Evingham, 1M<10, 1M 16-25, 1F 16-25" James would have been about 25 years old, and Sally was about 21. Their only child by 1810 was Adoram (son of James & Sally), who was yet an infant. Living next to James was W. Chapman, and Adoram Evingham (his brother), next to Adoram was J. W. Stoughton. It seems interesting to see that Adoram Everingham, born in 1783, named his second son John Stoughton Everingham.

1921 Lockport Union Sun and Journal 100th Anniversary Edition, 1921... PIONEERS WHO BLAZED NIAGARA'S EARLY TRAILS "... Of the settlers on the Mile Strip, I have gleaned the following list of those who were there in.. 1806 At Cayuga Creek - Big Smith, At Schlosser - Augustus Porter, Jesse Ware, James Everingham. Between the Falls and Lewiston - William Miller, William Howell, Joseph Howell, James Murray, Jacob Townsend, Stephen Hopkins, Philomen Baldwin, Isaac Colt, Erastus Parks, Joseph Hewett. "
