EARLY SETTLEMENT AND PROGRESS
OF THE COUNTY y
AND BRIEF REFERENCES TO THE
Pioneers and Some Ontaho County Men

PROVINCIAL AND DOMINION AFFAIRS

WHITBY :

1907.
COXJNTY OF ONTARIO.
COUNTYor ONTARIO.
Ontarip, the Keystone County, is
wedged "" in between Durham and
Victoria on the east, York and
Simcoe on the west, and rock-rib-
bed Muskoka on the north, while
its southern shores are washed by
Lake Ontario.
The county was first visited by
white men in the month of Aug-
3uo-X)aiim pire pajpunq oai^. q.sn
years ago (1615).
Champlain, the French governor
and explorer, accompanied by Car-
on and other Recollect missionaries
at that time, ascended the Ottawa
river, crossed to Lake Nipissing,
descended the French river to Geor-
gian Bay. Coasting along this he
reached the Severn river and thence
through Lake Couchiching he came
to the country of the Huron In-
dians. He agreed to join them in
an attack on the Iroquois, south-
west of Oswego, in New York
State. Passing through Lake Sim-
coe to the Talbot river, which sep-
arates Mara and Thorah Town-
ships, he reached Balsam Lake,
thence down the waters of the
Trent to L^e Ontario. Afterwards
communication with Lake Huron
was made through Whitby and
Reach Townships and through the
Rouge river in Pickering Township
to the Holland river and Lake
Simcoe. Through this latter route
another: expedition of French and
Indians passed from Lake Huron
to Niagara under instructions irom
the French Commandant at Que-
bec to avoid Fort Roiii'Ue, now To-
ronto, by taking this route.
In the old French 'map is a trac-
ing of a canal route between th«j
Holland and Rouge rivers.
The first school in the Province
was established at Frenchman's
Bay, in Pickering, in 1669-1670, by
Fenelon and Trouve, Sulpi'eian mis-
sionaries, who wintered there and
gathered the Indians into a school
In 1778 Ontario county formed
part of the District of Nassau. In
1798 it became part of the Home
District, the first registry office for
which was Niagara.
The first white settler was Ben-
jamin Wilson, who settled in East
Whitby, east of Oshawa harbor, in
1778. Some of his descendants are
still living in the countyr namely
children of Benjamin and Nelson
Pickell.
The first "Town meeting for
chusing the ofiisors and other re-
gulators for the Towns of Whitby
and Pickering" was held in 1801.
The first meeting for the like ptir-
pose for the Township of Pickering
alone was held ih 181 1. In these
days there were Coiinty Lieuten-
ants who had power to appoint
Justices of the Peace and Militia
Officers. In 1804 the County Lieu-
tenant for York County was the
Honorable David Wm. Smith, who
in some way acquired the title to
a great many parcels of "land in the
county. In 1851 this county was
HISTORY OF THE
united to York. and Peel for judic-
iaf ahd municipal purposes. On the
14th of March, 1852, the Governor
General's proclamajtion forming
the Provisional Cbunty of Ontario
wias issued and Whitby named as
the County Town. On the 3rd of
May, 1852, the reeves and deputies
met in. the brick school house at
Port Whitby, and . organized, the
provisional . county. James' O'Brien
Bouchier, reeve of Georgdtia, having
been appointed by commission to
act as presiding officer until the
election of a warden, so presided
until Joseph GouM, Uxbridge, was
elected provisional warden. After-
wards the meetings, until the final
separation from York and Peel,
were held in the Free church, now
the residence of Jam^es Shaw,
Whitby. The proclamation' dissolv-
ing, the union of the coimties and
erecting , Ontario into an independ-
ent county was issued December
30th, 1853.
The Coimty was organized in
January, 1854, with ftine minor
municipalities; represented by nine
reeves and four deputy reeves.
There are now seventeen minor
municipalities and three police vil-
lages in the Coimty. In 1891 they
were represented by 17 reeves and
18 deiputies. Under the Coun-
ty Councils Act the minor munici-
palities were grouped into 7 divis-
ions and represented by 14 mem-
bers. By recent statute the council
will.be composed of the reeves of
each; municipality, and deputies lor
every thousand ratepayers.
The members of the first council

The provisional warden having
voted with the Nays, the amend-
ment was lost.-
. The resolution to raise by way

purpose of erecting' county build-
ings was then put, and carried up-
on the same division, the proyi,s-
ional warden voting a second time
to break the tie., The committee to
strike standing comimittees was
then balloted for, and resulted in
the ■ election of Messrs. Bouchier,
Gibbs, Gould, Mitchell and Pax-
ton.
A motion that when the council
adJQurns it adjourns to meeti at the
Free church (the present residence
of Mr. James Shaw) on the first

journment of the Council of the
United Counties, of York, Ontario
and Peel was carried.
At ,this meeting there was no
quorum.
At the third meeting the council
proceeded to strike out the ,name
of James McPherson, as Reeve of
Mara and Rama and did order, the
name of Michael McDonagh to be
substituted in lieu thereof and that
Michael , McDonagh do take his seat
as Reeve of the Township of. Mara
and Rama, which the said Michapl
McDonagh straightway did,, and
upon his motion, seconded by Mr.
^wers, William. Paxton, jr., was
appointed provisional treasurer of
the County.
The council passed a resolution
requesting the Government to ap-
point at once a Registrar for the
Coimty of Ontario, and an associ-
ate Judge for York, Ontario and
.Peel, to be 'resident within the
county of Ontario.
William Henry Smith, in his
book entitled "Canada West,"
published in 185 1, say^: "Markham
was lohg regarded as the first
township, not only in the county,
but in the Province. Other town-
ships, however, have been strug-
gling in the race and first Dimi-
fries and now Whitby has surpass-
ed her."
In 1825 the people of tMs county
were not troubled with customs or
internal revenue officers. The neaj;-
est of these officials were the Hon-
orable William Allen of York and
M. F. Whitehead of Pjort Hope.
The man who wished to coinmit
matrimony had to journey to An-
drew Mercer at Toronto for a li-
cense or be called in church three
times publishing of the banns.
To register a deed a like jour-
HISTORY OF THE
ney had to be made, Stephen Jar-
vis bfeing the then Registrar of
the territory out of which York,
Ontario, Peel and Simcoe counties
were formed.
There were only four commis-
sioners within this district entitled
to take affidavits as to the execu-
tion of deeds on which they could
be registered.
In case a man was killed in this
large liistrict only four coroners
could be found and all of them
lived in Toronto.
There were then only nine public
school trustees in the whole dis-
trict.
William Smith of Pickering) seems
to have been the only Justice of
the Peace for this County at this
time.
To post a letter the people of the
County had to go to John B.
Warren's store on the Kingston
road between Oshawa and Whitby.
There, was a post office in Darling-
ton, at Black's Creek, just over the
Whitby line, kept by James Black,
Esq. This man lived so near the
boundary that he seems to have
been considered a County of York
man. He is named in the Home
District lists of commissioners to
administer the oath of allegiance
and in the commission 6i the
peace.
In 1837 Doctor Charles Ward is
stated in the Canadian Almanac
(FothergUl's) to be practising law
at Port Hope and Whitby. James
Armour, a relative of the late
Chief Justice Armour, is said to
have ^ practised law at Wliitby
Shortly after the rebellion.
The Township of Georgina, lying

County of York.
The population of the County in
1854 was about 30,000. In 1861 it
was 41,565. In 1871 it was 45,180.
In 1893 it was estimated at.^8,'^21,
but is actually much larger.

The County of Ontario has three
towns. Whitby, Oshawa and Vx-
bridge.
Whitby is the County Town.
Here are located the County build-
ings, including the Court Houso,
Gaol and Registry Office, the
County of Ontario House of Ke-
fuge and Industrial farm, the Ar-
mory of the 34th Regiment, alid
one of the Government Experimen-
tal Fruit Farms. It is an ed'ica-
tional centre with three well equip-
ped public schools, an efficient Ro-
man Catholic Separate School, and
one of the Ontario Counts Model
Schools. The Whitby Collegiate
HivStORY
' OF THE
Institute was established as a
Grammar Sctool in 1849, and has
during its long history held a fore-
most place among the High
Schools and Collegjiate Institutes
of the Province.
The Ontario Ladies' College was
established in 1874 in Trafalgar
Castlej the former residence of
Sheriff N. G. Rejmolds. Two very
extensive additions, involving a
large expenditure, and aggregating
with the original outlay upwards
of a fifth of a million ' dollars
have since befen made. It is so well
■equipped and has such a numerous
and able staff of instructors that it
has attracted ' pupils frotn all parts
of the Dominion and the United
States.
The Tow^i o£ Oshawa has been
appropriately . called Jthg. Manches-
ter of Canada. It has , a numbei; of
the- largest manufacturing estab-
lishments for pianos, carriages,
Walleable ,irpn, ^ork, , and woollen
goods in the Doniipfon, besides
many smaller but prosperous in-
dustries. It has an excellent High
School and three jWell graded pub-
lic schools, and Bishop i^ethune La-
dies' College. , The latter .occupies
EUsmere , Htill, the ,|hand^ome resir
dence of , the -late Hon. T. N, GibTss.
There is also ij. convent school sind
a separate schj^ol in connection
■jyith the Roman Catholic Churcji.
The Town of Uxbridge has seiv-
eral important milling aii4 manu-
facturing establishments. It' is
one of the best marke^t towns in tlie
Province. It has aii excelteut High
and a well graded Public School.
jPort Perry, Cannington and Bea-
veirton are thriving y^figes.,^ .Hhe.
former has an ej^cellent High
School and Public Schppls, and is
the seat of on« of, the Model
Schools of the County.
- The successful co-education Col-
lege of the "Fritends" is located at
Pickering. It attracts pupils frohi
far-off JaPEtft from Mexico arid' the
West Indies.
Npte-^Tbis, building was destroy-
ed by fire in 1905, This misfortune
deprived thje province of a most
useful, college and ithig, county of a
most able and accomplished educd-
tionist in Principal Firth.
The< County of Ontario Was well
timbered. The energy of its luiti-
bei'men in former years supplied' a
large amount of timber and 'lum^
ber for the Province and for export
to Great Britain and the United
States. It was formerly one of the
ibest grain growing counties, in the
Province and' next to Brampton,
Prince Albert was the largest' grain
market in the I'rovince. Thfepio-
neer in progres.sive 'agriculture; the
County of Ontario from the' first
has been noted for the energy and
skill of it.s importers and breeders
of live stock, and now holds a first
place in the Province in this re-
spect, having regard to its'area:. It
also holds a leading position am-
ongst the fruit raising counties. '
Tflie past history of the County
of .'Ontario, .as,, well as its present
condition and prospect.? for the fu-
ture, aniply prove the wisdom
shown in the selection of its
motto, "Peace, Plenty, Progress."

,, The Laurentiati, the oldest rock
formation crosses froiTi th;e Adiron-
dack mountains in New York state
at the Thousand Islands , and
stretches northward to the shores
of Ijake Huron forms the extreme
northern part of the Township of
Pama, so "When Britain first at
Heaven's high command," "Rose
out of the azure main," this part
r'f' the County of Ontario was in
evidence, and its people now live in
"The old country," the oldest of
countries. These rocks are ■;rystal-
line and contain no fossite. At the
shore of Lake Ontario the rocks
consist of Utica schist and Tren-
ton limestone, which extend north-
ward and terminate at CoUing-
wood. They are full of fossiie. The
Uticii Schist containing trilobites,
which, when found in irock strata,
clearly indicate that the search for
coal below them is useless.. Two or
three miles from Lake Ontario is
an old beach of the lake where it
occupied a much greater area than
at present. From the Highlands of
Scarboro' eastward through the
coimties of York, Ontario, Durham,
Northumberliand and Hastings this
level ground over which the waters
of Ontario dashed against high
blufis and banks or pushed up into
bays, is found. Geologists call it
the Northern shore of Lake Iro-
quois. About 1850-52 this peculiar
condition was pointed out by Abra-
ham Farewell, ex-M.P.P., to Mr.
T. C. Keefer, CIJ., while accom-
panying him in making the prelim-
inary search for the best line for
the Grand Trunk Railway. Mr.
Keefer, from the uniform level of
the lands, there being covered with
water \yorn gravel and the "clearly
marked shore line, concluded that
the waters of the lake once extend-
ed xip to, this slope. Similar features
are noticeable on the. south side of
Lake Ontario.
Ten or twelve .miles from
the shore of Lake Ontario the
land rises in a ridge to the height
of 900 feet and beyond this the
wa:ters flow into Lake Ontario by
way of the Trent and Bay of
Quinte or into Lake Htiron. From
the south of this ridge flow the wa-
ters of the Rouge and Diiffins
Creek in Pickerihg and Lyndes
Creek in the Township of Whitby
and Warren's and Black's Creek, ^
through the Township of East
Whitby into Lake Ontario.. North
of the ridges the waters of the Non-
quon flow into Lake Scugog and
the Trent "Valley. The waters of
the Black River pass through Ux-
bridge and Scott to L^-ke Simcoe
and of the Beaver River through
the Townships of Brock and Thorah
entering Lake Simcoe at Beaver-
ton. The Talbot River forming the
boundary line between Mara • and
Thorah, and another Black River
flows through Rama to Lake
Couchiching. The waters ' of Lake '
Simcoe and Couchiching are di.s-
charged by the Severn into the
Georgian Bay.
The soil of the Whitbys and Pick-
ering, except on the old Iroquois
Lake shore, and of Reach is a
heavy clay loam'. In TJxbridge much
of the land is sandy. Through
Brock arid Scott there are some
cedar swamps. Scott has the beit

gravel for road making and the
best roads in the county. In Rama
there is much limestone and gran-
ite. The soils of this county are
varied producing "the best that
grows." The first prize for wheat
Vas taken at the Paris Exhibition
by the late Mr. James Pile, of the
'7th Con. Whitby' Township. The
gold medal fqr apples, pears and
plums was taken at the last of
such exhibitions by the Whitby Ex-

TOWNSHIP OF PICKERING.
Assessment, 1903, ?3i837i235-
Population, 1850, 6,385.
Population, 1904, 5,211.
In 1791 the first surveyor's line
was run from east to "west on tlje
front of the ist concession, viz.,
the Base I/ine.
/
The shore of Lake Ontario from
the Township of Murray to the
Town.ship of York, both inclusive,
was divided into eleven divisions,
afterwards called townships, to
which numbers were given. Picker-
ing was No. 9 in this list and the
first name given to- it was Edin-
burgh; Whitby was Norwich, Scar-
boro was Glasgow, York was
Dublin and Darlington was Bristol.
The western part of the town-
ship is traversed by a river which
the French called "RiYerie Rouge,"
the Indians called it ''Kataboko-
konk," or river of an easy en-
trance.
In the settlement of Markham
and the west of Pickering by» the
Dutch German emigrants from
Pennsylvania in 1792, ufider the di-
rection of a Mr. Berzey, they
crossed Lake Ontario or came
ground the head of Lake Ontario
to the river of easy entrance. It
is said that after .leaving the river
it took > them, nearly four weeks to.
cut their way through to tjie 6th
concession of Markham and corre-
sponding parts of Pickering.
Governor Simcoe called the river
"The Nen," but it has always re-
tained the French name Rouge.
Pickering and oths-r townships
along the front qf J.akc Ontario
gdt their names after towns in the
county of York, England.
East of the mouth of the Rouige
is Frenchman's Bay. Over 230
years ago a tribe 6i Seneca. In-
dians lived here and this bay is
mairked on the old French maps
with the Indian name Gandatsdha-
gon. It is the site of the first
school in the Province of Ontario.
In 1669 p.iid 1670 it, was visited
by two Sulpician missionaries,
Fenelon and Trouve. They spent
the winter there and gathered the
Indians into a school.
Duffins' Creek, which passes
through the PoUce Village of Pick-
ering, was called by the French
"La Riveire Sammon," from the-
number of salmon which frequented
it. Charles Fothergill called it
"The Meander," and the village
near it "Mono4elphia."
In 1796 Asa Danforth, ah Aitieri-
can, obtained the contract to lay
out and buUd the second of Gover-
nor Simcoe's i:oads for opening up
comnjunication through the coun-
try, Tliis contract was for a road
from Ancaster, the head of the
lake, to Kingston, The road was
to be opened, two rods wide, , for
hor^s, and built a safe distance
from the fake sliqre. This precau-
12
HISTORY OF THE
tion enabled General Slieaf to lead
his men , safely to Kingston after
the capture of Toronto, I813, and a
similar safe march was repeated
by Col. Hardy in 1814.
The first settler in Eickeriag was
Mr. William Peak, who settled
near the mouth of- Duffins Creek.
I^e was an Ijidian trader and in-
terpreter, and the friend of Waubi-
kishko, an Indian chief wliQse sway
extended from the Credit River to
the Bky of Quinte, about the year
1800. Mr. William Peake, one of
the trustees of Pickering Village is
a descendant. , .
In iSog' Pickering had a popula-
tion of 187. This township was
fornierly joined with Whitii^' Town-
ship, one of the earliest records re-
lating to the township matters is
dated 4t^i of June, 1801. It is a
record of the first' of the old town
meeting days, entitled "A record
of a ineeting for choosing town of-
ficers and other regulators for the
Towns of' Pickering iand Whitby,

Allian, Treasurer Home District, of
the payment of E. Lockwood, Col-
lector of Townships of ^Pickering
and Whitby for 1802, five pounds
19s., Halifax currency, being in

Brunswick in 1810. James B. Pow-
ell, many, years a leading merchant
of the Town of Whitiay, chairman
of the Board of Education and
town councillor, was a son of Calelb
Powell.
Donald R. Beaton, Esq., town-
ship clerk, has a record of the town

and again, "by the same reason
our Town metin ware omitefl in
they«ar A.D'., 1814, and our Townd
Officers were put in in the same
manner."
Timothy Rogers, above named,
built a mill at Dnffins Creek about
1810. This year Nicholas Brown

Jones, James Wood and Daniel
Yea^: ^re new names pf_ Tqwn-
ship Officers. At the towjti meetingl
of this year, a. by-law was passed

shortest, by-law eyer passed by a*
deliberative body. Here it "is,
"Voted that our fences, is to bena-

managed by Joh;i Sharrard, town
clerk; Thomas Hubbard, collector^
while Joshua Richards (probfitoiy
■Richardson), John Blair and Da-
vid Wood were pathmasters.
Pickering about this time receiv-
ed a valuable addition to its popu-

sons, from " Queen's County; the
Collins, Wright and Valentyne
families; Thomas Reazon, father of
Henry Reazon, School Inspector

HISTORY Of THE
the Browns, came from the United
States, settled on the Kingston
road between Whitby and Picker-
ing. The family included Asa
Brown, Sherman Brown, Abrani
Isaac and Jg,cot Brown, Roland
and Nicholas Brown. N. W. Brown,
at one time the member for South
Ontario in the Local Legislature,
a6d Mayor of Whitby, belonged to
this family. , James R. Brown,
Clerk of the Peace and County
Crown Attorney for Prince Ed-
ward, is a descendant of one of
these families. About this y«ar
James Carpenter, father of Ira B.
Carpenter, J. P., came from Ver-
' iKont and settled near the town
line of Whitby. He was one of the
first blacksmiths in the county.
VilH^an Sleigh was the Township

' at Dunbarton and founded the fine
Scotch settlement there, of which
Peter Nesbitt, Annans, McCono-
chies, Anderson, the Rev. Mr. Ken-
nedy were amongst the leading
men.
In 1834 Ebenezar Birrell, after-
wards a justice of the peace. Local

Donald McKay, William Sriiith,
Dr. H. Boyep, and Joshua Richard-
son, all of v?hom served as cotn-
^missioners of the Court of Requests,
whose jurisdiction and duties were
about the same as that of ' the
Division Court before its recent ex-
tension of jurisdiction.
Amongst other early settiers
were John Tool, 1821, Job Bur-
ton, Abraham Knowles, Christian

Mr. Leys two sons, John and
Col. Francis Leys, represented the
cities of Toronto and London in
parliament. Mr. Leys in 1834 was \
then the only store keeper in Pick-
ering.
Dr. H. Boys, above referred to
had been an army surgeon, serving
under the Duke of Wellington in
the Peninsular war. Judge Boys;
of Barrie, is one of his sons,. Dr.
Boys, resided in the Township of
Whitby for a time. He was col-
lector of customs.
In 1883 Ralph Mowbray caine to
Pickering from Brooklyn, New York
and Sherwood Palmer moved into
Pickering from Scarboro. His son,
•Tames L., was a schoolmate of the
late President Garfield, arid was a
member of the County Council for
10 jeaxs. His brother Charles is a
member of the Pickering Council.
Squire Fothergill had been member

for E^ast Durham, had carried on a
Printing and Pub'Ushing business in
Toronto and for a. number of years
published a Gazetter and almanac,
containing a large amoimt of , in-
formation as to the condition of
Upper Canada.
He commenced building a mill at
Pickering about the year 1835. At
that time there was a grist and
saw mill on lot 15 in the 5th con-
cession, East of Brougham, which
was being run by a Mr. Sicely. Mr.
H. Howell bought him but and
bmlt and carried on a store and
distillery there.
John Miller, of "Thistleha,"
Reeve of Pickering and County
Councillor for many years settled
here in 1835. His Uncle George re-
siding in Markham, was then com-
m.encing the importation of stock
from Great Britain for breeding
pturposes. He brought out some
sheep and pigs for his uncle's farm.
He was followed in 1839 by his
father and the rest of the family.
The township, county and pro-
vince, in fact, have been greatly
benefitted by the successful efforts
in cattle and sheep raising and im-
porting by John Miller and his
family. It would be difl&cult to
estimate the money value of the
services which they rendered to the
county in this way. Mr. Miller
and his son, Robert, more than
once unsuccessfully contested South
Ontario in the Conservative inter-
ests. Mr. John Miller died at the
age of eighty-seven, but was in, ac-
tive business for some time after
he passed his eightieth year. John
Hyfield, .father of Mrs. Yeoman
Gibson and Mrs. Joseph Mont-
gomery, settied at Salem Cornbrs
in 1836. A School house was built
there about that time. John Pea-
cock was the first^ teacher. Miss
Thompson, a daughter of Hotd
Keeper Thompson, succeeded him. ,
Trueman White came from Mark-
ham in 1845. He built at White-
vale, formerly Majorvyle, extensive
saw, grist and woollen mills. He
was for many years a leader of
municipal and political affairs and
served a term as County Warden.
Hugh Pugh, father of Thomas
Pugh, late of Whitevale, came from
Wales to this township about the
year 1834. David E. Pngh, town-
ship councillor, and his brothers,
Judson, Oliver and Hugh, are good
representatives of this Welsh Bap-
tist stock.
The first meeting of the Council
of Pickering since the passing of
, the Municipal Act, was held at
Thompson's Inn, one and a quarter
miles south of Broughham, on the
2ist of January, 1850. W. H. Mich-
ell was elected reeve, R. A. Parker
deputy reeve. The other members
of the council were P^ter Taylor,
Frederick Green and Jpshua Wick-
son. Of Squire Green it is said,
that, when holding court at Green-
wood, which was n^med after
him, he had as an associate, Sqjuire
Birrell. A big, blustering fellow
was before them charged with as-
sault. He marched in and ou^ of

The township is celebrated, . not
only for the success -of its import-
ers and breeders of cattle and
sheep,, but of horses as well. Rich-
ard Graham and his sons^ William,
Thomas and Robert, of Claremont,
have been for many years am.ong
the most successful of importers
and breeders of both heavy draught
and carriage horses.
Robert Graham, veterinary sur-
geon, was appointed by the Gov-
ernment of the Dominion to take
charge of the horses of the Mount-
ed Rifles and Artillery which Can-
ada sent out to assist the Mother
Country in South Africa, when the
attack of the Boers was made on
a sister colony.
The first doctor in the township
was Dr. William Burns of Duffin's
Creek. The second one was Dr. Da-
vid Tucker, B. A., M. D. Dr. Tuck-
er was Local Superintendent of
Schools after Mr. Burrell. He was
an excellent classical Scholar — aud
edited editions of works by Roman
writers.,
. David Tripp and his five sons
John, Thomas, Edward, James
and Ira settled near Frenchman's
J3ay in 1837. John built and car-
ried on one of the first saw mills in
the Township.
iS
HISTORY OF THE
TOWNSHIP OF WHITBY.
This township was first known
as Township No. 8 of the Lake
Shore townships between the Bay
of Quinte and York. It was also
afterwards called Norwich.
When a north of England man
got the management ' of these mat-
ters in hand he wiped out the then
names of these lake front town-
ships) and scattered Yorkshire
names along the lake shore, name-
ly: Darlington, Whitby, Pickering,
Scarborough, York.
The first settler in the county
was Benjamin Wilson, who settled
in this township in 1790 or 1794,
east of Oshawa Harbor. He came
from Putney in the State of Ver-
mont, and it is claimed he was a
TJnited Empire Loyalist, and his
daughter. Mrs. Nancy Pickle, the
first white child born between To-
ronto and . Kingston.
Shortly after his arrival hia
place was visited by a band of In-
dians, who took his tools and pro-
visions which had been furnished
to him by the Government, and
whatever else he had but his boat,
and told him to begone and not to
find his way back again.' He had
come around from Niagara, where
the Government then was. He went
down the lake shore to Ganaraska,
now Port Hope, ^ where he met
Wabakischoe, a chief who ruled the
Indians from the Humber to the
Bay of Quinte. Fortunately for
Wilson the chief was accompanied
by William Peak, who afterwards
settled at Duflin's Creek. Wilson
explained to PeaH why he was go-
ing east instead of west. The chief
learning from Peak what had hap-
pened told Wilson to go back
with him. Arrived at the shanty
they waited about until an Indian
was discovered prowling around in
the hope that he might pick up
something. The chief started him
off to find the Indians who had
looted Wilson's goods with in-
structions to notify them to hunt
up all the Indians who had taken
anything from Wilson and to be
and appear three or four days af-
terwards with all the stolen goods
and with all their own stack of
furs. The unwelcome news was
passed along like the carr3ring of
the "Fiery Cross" in Scotland.
The Indians appeared and placed
back in Wilson's shanty what was
left of the goods and provisions.
Then the furs of each Indian were
opened out and Wilson was told to
go through the packs and take
from each of them enough to make
up the whole of his loss. Wilson
took all he dared to take. The
chief said it was not enough and
that Peake must "pull" more furs
frfem the packs till there was en-
ough handed over. Peake "pulled"
furs from each and added them to
Wilson's stock. The chief was not
satisfied. He commenced "pull-
ing" more furs and added them to
Wilson's lot until he was more
than paid in value and a good

■ surplus for the^ inconvenience lie
would have in getting re-stocked
with provisions and tools. The
chief hung up a wampum belt in
the shanty and told the Indians to
remember the day's proceedings.
Wilson was not troubled after that
In fact he received much jissist-
ance from the Indians in his work.
The Record of Marriages in the
pos.session of J. P. I^ovekin, J. P.,
of Clarke, at the time of his death
has the following relating to the
marriage of Benjamin Wilson's
daughter :
"Third Octpber, 1811— Married,
William Pickell, of Arlington, to
Nancy Wilson, of Whitby, being
first duly published in presence of
William Smith, and Waterman A.
Spencer.
"Twenty-first April, 1807— Mar-
ried, John Carr, of Darlington, to
Betsy Woodruff, of Pickering, with
the written consent of her father.
Present, HjEorris Carr and wife and
Mr. Woodruff's son."
About this time a widow wo-
man who was living at White Riv-
er Jimction, Connecticut, went to
Niagara with her sons, Ackeus
Moody and, William Farewell, and
settled near where the Servos fam-
ily, who obtained lands in this
coimty, resided. She there mar-
ried Seageant Jam.es Cranford of
the Queen's Rangers, then quarter-
ed at Niagara, and moved into the
fort. She and her sons went to
Little Yoi;k (Toronto) when Gov-
ernor Sitncoe transferred the capi-
tal of Upper Canada there in 1796.
Toronto then had no existence;
The writer was informed by Mr.
A. M. Farewell that there were
two French traders at the Hum-
ber, one of whom was named St.'
John. They had some fruit trees
there, which indicates a somewhat
lengthy residence. The first cherry
trees in Ontairio County were
brought to Harmony in 1807 by
the Farewell brothers from the
Humber and from them many oth-
er orchards were supplied.
In 1804 the two Farewell boys
paddled down the lake to the large
bay east of Oshawa harbor. Bluff
Point, now containing 3 or 4
acres, but then large enough for a
respectable farm, ran out to the
east of the bay. It was for many
years occupied by one TerriU, a
fisherman, who afterwards settled
in Mara. The writer remembers
when native Indian potatoes were
growing on it. The waters in this
bay were deep enough for large
sized vessels, as was the river en-
teiring into it, the western branch
of which was large enough to
drive saw mills, flouring mills,
brewery, distillery, furniture fac-
tory, at Farewell's Corners, now
Harmony.
The protected bay with deep wa-
ters, the powerful streaitis, decided
the Farewells to purchase several
hundreds of acres along the
stream in preference to the site on
which Oshawa now stands. Had
the heads of these streams been

HISTORY OF THE
examined the adventurers would
have found that a half-mile and i%
miles away was the source of the
supply, which would cease as soon
as the clearing of the lands along-
side them was done. The Oshawa
creek had its source west of Rag-
lan, ten miles away, and its vol-
ume and continuance was the cause
of Oshawa's prosperity.
Mr. W. B. Phipps, the late clerk
of the Forestry Department of the
Ontario Government, asked the.
writer for some examples of the ef-
fect of clearing lands, and on
fioihtirfg' out to him thjs case,
#here a village with- mechanics,
shbps of various kinds, mills and
factories had been wiped out, he
statfed it Was the best example he
had met with.
The Farewells soon opened up a
trade with the Indians, and in
1806 left their man, John. Sharp,
in charge of their camp at Wash-
burnfe Island, Lake Scugog, while
th6y went down the lake and river
to let the Indians know that they
w^ire on the island for trade. On
tlieir return they found the camp
looted aiid their man killed. Hast-
ily burying him they started for
Cedar Creek, at the head of the
lake, and followed the trail down
to Lake Ontario, east of Oshawa
harbor. Bnqiuiring of Eleazar
Lockwood on the way, he told
them that he had seen the Indians
passing the night before and had
crept down to the camp and saw
and heard one named Ogetonecut
dfescribie how he had killed Sharp
because his brother, Whistling
Duck, had been killed by a white
man a year ago and no white man
had been killed on his account.
They followed the Indians to To-
ronto, finding them, encainped on
the Island. Going to the Fort
tliey got the interpreter, Ruggles-,
and some soldiers, who arrested
the Indian. On his trial it was
urged that Washburne Island was
not in the Home but in the New-
castle district and that the court
had no jurisdiction. The line was
run by , Major Wilmot and it was
found that the murder had been
done in the Newcastle district. The
trial was arranged to take place
at Presqule, and while Judge Coch-
rane, Solicitor General Robert
Isaac Gray, SherifE Angus McDon- '
nell, Mr. John Fisk, the high bailiff,,
the interpreters. Cowan and Rug-
gles, Mr. Herkimer and the Indian
were going down the lake in the
Government schooner "Speedy,"
Captaih Paxton, the vessel was
lost with all on boards Mr. John
Fisk, the high bailiff, was related
to the Bigelow family. Mr. Joseph
Bigelow, of Port Perry, has a copy
of the letters of administration
taken" out after he was drowned. The
Farewells and Lockwood were to
take the schooner opposite Port
Oshawa, but finding the wind favor-
able and not seeing the "Speedy"
they hoisted sail in their birch
canoe and arrived almost at the
place of trial when they were over-
taken by the "Speedy," but hav-
ing business at the carrying place
they stopped there, and during-
the storm the three men had diffi-
culty in prevfenting the canoe from '
being blown away. The court was
COUNTY OF ONTARIO.
21
adjourned from daly to d^y for over
a week waiting for the arrival of
the "Speedy,'* when a piece- of the
vessel was found and no sitting of
the court was held.
By the will of the Solicitor Gen-
eral, Robert Isaac DeGray or
Gray, made in 1803, some slaves
were set free and part of the lands
at Cedardrake, lot 11, first conces-
sion, Whitby, was devised to his
slave servant, Simon, and to his
other slave, "John," lot 17, con-
cession 2, Whitby.
Slavery was abolished by the
first parliament of Upper Canada
in 17193. They were set free imder
the will probably to prevent any
question as to whether the Act
was applicable to those who were
then in slavery.
The bones of a man were found
last summer by some cam.pers on
Washburne Island and from their
position it is probable they were
those of. John Sharp, who was
murdered by Ogetonicut.
Xarr, Brisbane. David Annis built
the vessels "Dianah" and "The
Lord Durham" a mile up the creek
from Lake Ontario.
The Lynde residence, near
Lynde's Creek, Town of Whitby,
was built at the time of the war
of 1812 and used as a hotel. Troops
freqiuently stopped there on their
marches up and down the country
during the war.
The Farewell homestead at IJa,r-
mony, a landmark for eighty
years, was raised on the day of
the de'claration of the war of 181?.
A squad of dragoons forwaxding
, despatches were stationed here dur-
ing 18 14, the last year oi the war.
Before that time despatches were
carried by Wilmot from Newcastle
to Farewells' and by Farewell to
Lynde's and Post's, and vice versa.
Still Jabez and Hawkins Lynde and
Woodruff were also despatch car-
riers.
Lynde is said to have settled at
Whitby about the year 1805.
Amongst the other settlers be-
fore the war of 181 2 were David
Annis on the lake shore near Port
Oshawa, a branch of whose family
was Kving in Searboro at that
date. Matthew Terwillegar, called
in the early records DeWillegar,
Adam Stevens, the McGahens, call-
ed Megan, and the sons,' Isaac,
Henry, Thomas and Asa, James
Cranford, William Pickle, who
married a daughter of Benjamin
Wilson's, Jabez Lynde, William
Abraham and, Peter Stoner and
John Palmer of Pickering and
•Thomas Henry of Port Oshawa
were also in the service in the war
of 1812-15.
A m.an named Dan Smith Uved
on the lake shore a year before
that time.
Mr. Nightingale lived on the
Farewell farm. Town of Whitby, in
1811.
22
HISTORY OF THE
The first school in the township
was probably kept on the Howden
farm opposite by a Miss Cross, in
the same year.
Samuel Cochrane settled upon
the farih in Whitby on which the
House of Refuge stands ih 1812,
comino^ firom near the province
line, Vermont. He was a Quaker,
but volunteered for service in the
transport corps in 1812 and was
drafted afterwards. He served
fourteen m.onths. The pay was
J4.25 a month. The soldiers got
$12 prize money at Detroit. He
was at the taking of Detroit and
the battle of Queenston Heights
and died in 1889 while in receipt of
a pension for his services.
John Hyland came to the county
from Ireland in 1817 and for many
years kept store in Oshawa.
In 18 1 6 John Kerr, from New
York State, settled in the North-
west Ward, Qshawa, John McGrei-
gor Southwest Ward, William
Karr Northeast Ward, and E- Ark-
land Southeast Ward.
James Hall, father of Calvin and
Samuel Hall, settled on the lake
shore in 1820. He told the writer
that while clearing the woods on
his farm his new axe was broken
by a piece of iron shell which was
embedded in a tree. The writer
mentioned this to the late A. IM-
Farewell, who accounted itor it in'
this way. During 1812 a bifi-
gade of boats engaged • in car-
rying military stores, were attack-
ed by an American gujjboat oppo-.
site Hall's place. The bpats were
drawn up on shore. Several <tt-
tempts were made during the nighj;
after cannon firing to take these
boats by marines in small boats
from the American vessel.. Tlie
soldiers on the British boats were
reinforced by the settlers who with
their rifles rend«red such goo-] ser-
vice tl^at the American Ijoat sailed
away and the stores reached York
in safety.
In 1821 ''the four Irishmen'' arriv-
ed from Ireland. They were Join
Borlase Warren, William Warren,
Laurence Hayden and O'Callaghan
Holmes. They were Coini'.y of
Cork men and there entered , into
an agreement to emigrate to Can-
ada and carry on in partnersliip
agricultural pursuits. They settled
north of Earners' Corners. Messrs.
J. B. Warren, Hayden and Holrici
were commissioners of the Court
of Requests for Whitby and Reiuh.
The court was held at a school-
house on the 3rd concession, jtisi
east of the Dow farm. Mr. High-
field, of Pickering, father of Mrs.
Yeoman Gibson, bought out the
four Irishmen. Mr. George' Mc- '
Gill, father of Colonel John Mc-
G^ and Dr. William McGill,. at one
time a member of the Legislative
Assembly, a Scotchman who came
from Paisley or Wigton, in Scot-
land, in 1822, was bailiff of this
courtl Mr. J. B. Wa^rreu, Mr.
H-ayden^ Mr. Holmes, Peier Mc-
Donald, Alexander Armsttong and-
Captain F. K. Tincombe were am-
ongst the earliest magistrates in
the township. Mr. Hayden is said
tp have been the first Roman CS'

tholic who settled in Soul^ On-
tario. At the time of his death
he was the chief clerk of the Court
of Common Pleas at Toronto. His
son, Laurence, a Toronto barris-
ter, the owner of Haydenshore
Park at Port Whitby, has probably
one of the best collections of
bpoks, "maps and prints relating to
the history of Canada in the, pro-
vince. As an instance of the hard-
ships of settlers at a comparative-
ly late date it may be noticed
that Mr. Hayden while paddling m
a canoe to York with a grist vvas
overtaken by a storm near the
Highlands. His boat was capsiz-
ed, the grist went to the bcUom
of the lake, and he reached the
shore in a very exhausted condi-
tion.
A Mr. lyosie kept a small store
in Whitby about 1818, as did a Mr.
Storey, and one Smith also had a
small store at Duffin's Creek. Theise
had been closed befdre 1823, when
tlie Warrens kept a store and post
office, first at Hamers' Corners,
eastern part of the town, and then
on the Jerry Lick farm, Kingston
road, between Oshawa and Whit-
by, 'it is said this store was then
the only one between 'Toronto and
Port Hope.
There was no other post office in
Whitby or Pickering townships.
Postal matter was carried by pri-
vate enterprise from Thorah to
this post office. A post office was
kept at Hamer's Comers after Mr.
Warren's remov^-l to Oshawa ty
.Alexander McPhprson,
When it was proposed, to estab-
lish post offices at Pickering and
Oshawa McPherson protested
stoutly on the ground that he
could do all the post office , busi-
ness for these townships and have
plenty of time to spare.
The subsequent postmasters have
been Francis Keller, David Smith,
Charles Nourse and John D. How-
dem, the present postmaster^
Ezra Annes, afterwards Mayor of
the Town of Whitby, settled in the
township in 1818. He was a clerk

his deatli. Thomas Dow was en-
gaged in business in Oshawa and
subsequently was agent of the
Bank of Montreal, the Ontario and
Western Banks at Whitby. Dr.
Foote, who was the first doctor in
Reach, came from Vermont about
this time. He m^arried a daughter
of Mr. William Dow. He had an
extensive practice in the Township
of. .Whitby. He was a brother of
the celebrated Senator Foote of
V«r}nont.
Mr. George McGillivray, who
married a daughter of Charles
Fothergill, inember of parliament
for Northumberland, arrived in
1833. His father followed: bim in
the following year. Of his large

Mr. pryden was for many years
a leading man ,i'n municipal poli-
tics, representing his township in
the Home District Council and the
Ontario County Council. He was a
director of the Ontario Bank and
of the Whitby and Port iPerry Rail-
way. His son, the Hon. John
Diryden, represented South Ontarrp
for over a quarter of a century. He
was the second Minister of Agri-
culture in the Province, the office
having been held for a short time
by the Hon. Mr. Drury. The piroud
and useful position which the de-
partment holds to-day is almost
entirely due to his practical know-
ledge of agriculture, the wants of
the farm and his broad and com-
prehensive views as to making such
a department of use to the Can4'

Gjeorg^ Dry.den, the Registrar of
Ontario County, is a second son of
Mr. James Dr^den.
Peter Perry came to Whitby in
1836. He formerly represented'
Hastings in the Dominipn Parlia-
ment., He represented South On-
tario in the Legislature after he
came.hefe and was metfiber at the
time of his death. '
The town was formerly called
Perry's Corners. .
The separation pf Ontario from
Yprk and Peel was brought aljout
by his energj^ and shrewdness.
About Christmas, 1850, he
thonght the time a good one to
introduce the matter to the peopje
in North Ontario. He took with
him Hr. Ezra Annes, as a Reform-
er, to accompany him to Uxbridge,
then strongly Liberal in politics.
He had Captain Rpwe, aiterwards
mayor of the town and Warden of
the County, at Jones' Corners,
now Sunderland, to interview his
fellow-countrymen, the Irishmen of
Brock. John Watson, who as
wharfinger at the Whitby 'harbor
for many years and knew the nor-
thern- farmers well, was taken
along to get the farmers together
for a meeting. They started away,
on Simday, the 24th of Pecember^
and spent thfe hoUdaj's in advocat-
ing the separation. Had he lived,
his energy would have carried
through the railway to Midland in
a very few yeajrs.
The expenditures as to. the Whit-
by harbor and tlie plank rpad to
Port Perry were due to his energy.
On his de^th W. H. Micl^ell was
elect^ member of parjiament to
succeed him, but the dissolution
prevented, Jii^ taking the seat.
Objection to Michel!' s vieys on re-
ligious mattets prevented his se-
curing a re-nomination, the Re-
form convention nominating Amos
Wright, of Markham, ;^ho was
elected.
Whitby, in those days was knowii
as Radical Corners.'
To the west of the Town^. of
Whitby If atthias jMacfcie, from New
Jersey, settled at Shoal Point, on
Lake Ontario^ then mdved farther
east and settled upon the King-
ston road before the rebellion.
He was noted for manj' years for
having the best log house on the
Kingston road. It was made of
logs sefuared, hewed and planed 1
both inside and outside the house.
His son, Sylvester Mackie, died re-
cently upon the honiestead. His
daughter married David Lusk
Reed, who came from Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania, and! located
about two miles west of Whitby in
1828. He carried on an extensive
tanning business there for many
26
HISTORY Ot TBS
years. At, his death he was one of
the largest landed pjoplietoi's in
the county. Across the road from
Reed's James Almond, Esq;., J. P.,
Kved for.maiiy years.' He was aii
Knglishman who settled in !New^
York State before 1837. He in
some way made the acquaintance
of Piatt Betts. Betts was prob-
ably a Quaker or in some way had
ha^ conscientious objections
against fighting either for or
against the' Faniily Compact, who
then ruled the Province, so they
exchanged places, Betts going to
New York and 'Almond taking his
place in the Township of Whitby
opposite the Reeds'.
Before 1840 the rear of the
township received important acces-
sions by the incoming of the Der-
bys, Henry and George. The
Briggs family — George, Da-
vid, William and Manly Briggs.
The Wells family, Gardner, Martin,
Jesse and Simeon Wells, wHo came
from Missaquoi County, l/ower
Canada in 1832. The Campbell
family came up from Lennox and
Addington. This family consisted
of John Campbell, J. P., who had
represented Lennox in the Provin-
cial Pg,rliament; Robert Campbell,
.7. P., who engaged with his bro-
ther, John, in the milling, lumber-
ing and mercantile business; Aaroji
Campbell, J. P., Calvin Campbell,
J. ?., who was for many years a
member of the Township and
Cpunty Council, and was Warden
in 1866. Another brother, Isaac
Campbell, J. P., fempved to^ Mid'
dlesex CouRtv,
In 1840 the brothers, J'ohn and
Robert, built a large flouring mill
on the site of the present Brooklin
brick mill. It was destroyed by
firfe' in 1848 and was replaced by a
brick mill.

B. F. Campbell, a County Coun-
cillor, now baiUfi, is a son of John
Campbell, and May and Flo Ir-

his granddaughters/
Mr. John Campbell and David S.
Way biult another grist and saw
mill just north of the brick mill in
Brooklin. This miU was for many
years managed by J. B. Bickle,
who was an active man in munici-
pal politics and filled the office of
Warden in 1868. The progress of
the township is evidenced by the
fact that in 1840, years after the
arrival ol the Campbell family,
there were but four houses in Win-
chester, afterwards the pleasant ,
\"illage of Brooklin, these were all
log houses and were occupied by
John McGee, Amos Way, the
Campbell family and William Hep-
enstal. Henry Daniel and George
W. Coulston, carried on an exten-
sive mercantile and grain business
in Brooklin. Moses Bartlet, H. S.
Wicket and W. Murray carried on
the tanning business there. The
Thomas family was an extensive
one. Stephfen Mead Thomas did a
large mercantile business at Brook-
lin. He laid out the beautiful
Grove-side cemetery on the gravel
road north of Whitby. He and Lu-
cius Thom'as were amongst the
early school, teachers. His brothers, ;

Huclsins, Noah Bates, Daniel and
Jackson Holiday, the DeHarts, the
Burns family and William Nichols
were early settlers and are repre-
sentatives of the men who h£|,ve
made the township.
In 1828 a considerable amount of
salt was made in the township
from the waters of a spring on the
3rd concession, near the McGowan
place. From 2j^ to 4 bushels a day
were thus produced.
After the separation of Whitby
from Pickering the town meetings
were held in the old Baptist church
on the hill east of the Lick farm
on the Kingston road. This build-
ing was removed in the year 1856
to the west side of Bjrron street,
Whitby, by J. H. Gerrie, after-
wards mayor of Whitby, and was
known as Gerrie's Hall, and later
as Toms and Newport's shop. The
first township clerk was William
Moore, a school master living on
the hill west of the Union Ceme-
tery. He was commonly known as
"Master Moore." James T. Somer-
vUle succeeded him as clerk. He
lived at Thornton's corners. The
town meetings were next held at
Oshawa and then at Brooklin,
where they are now held.
Gavin Bui^ns, father of Mrs.
Philip Taylor of Whitby, who suc-
ceeded Edward Skae as postm.as-
ter in Oshawa, was township clerk
at the time Oshawa was incoLp</r-
ated as a village. Mr. R. T. Har-
rison of Brooklin succeeded him iis
clerk, then Johji Gprdoji, Mr, Frost
and George Mott in i860; then R .
T. Harrison again became clerk,
and on his death the present atfi^i-
ent clerk, Daniel HolUday, wis
appointed.
The township clerks from the
early fifties had in many years to
take charge of the distribution and
exchange of the school libraries
which the township established, in
each section.
In 1 85 1 the township was agitat7
ed over the question of dividing the
town into wards, as Pickering was
then divided. The efiort was un-
successful.
The Rev. Robert Darlington, fa-
ther-in-law of Dr. Hunter of 1837
fame, was treasurer for many
years.
EARLY RECORDS.
Mr. Daniel Holliday, Township
Clerk, has in his possession' a book
containing a record of the Town
meetings held from the year i839
until the year 1850, when the old
system of appointing two council-
lors from the Home District Coun-
cil and making appointtnents an- ,
nually of Township Ofificers, includ-
ing pathmasters, pound keepwrs, as-
sessors, collectors, town warden
and town clerks, was transferred
from the town meeting to councijs
composed of five members.

of the meeting are written in a
very legible hand and a model for
all Municipal Clerks as to their
arrangemeait and' neatness. Mr.
Somerville was an active and able
Justice of the Peace,
In the next year, i843) the meet-

prove a check upon the other."
A special meeting was held, on
the fourth of July in the Baptist
Church, to fill the vacancy as Dis-
trict CoimciUor caused by the re-
signation of John B. Warren, Esq.
The minute proceeds, "when after
being moved and seconded an un-
animous vote of the meeting was
given in favor of Abraham Fare-
well, Esq., to fill the above import-
ant office."
The collection of fines received
the attention of the, meeting.
In 1844 Gaven Burns was elected
Town Clerk and Peter Perry as
councilman. But one District
Councillor seems, to have been elect-
ed.
In 1845 the meeting w'as held at
the Court House, Oshawa, Mr.
Perry elected Councilior. In 1846,
it was held at the same place and
Mr. FareweiW succeeded Mr. Perry.
30
HISTORY OF THE
The same Township Officers seem
to have been elected as a general
rule.
In 1848 the meeting was held in
a Methodist Chapel at Brooklin
when Mr. Perry was elected
CouncUlQlr and it was resolved that
thfe Township should be taxed by
the District Council J^^o to be ex-
pended by the Town Wardens un-
der testrictions from the Council in
relieving poor and indigent persons
worthy of such support. It was re*
solved that the councillorsi shall
pursue the same course this years
as they did the last with regard
to giving prizes to such roadmast-
ers as perform their duty best.
Henry Daniels was appointed Town
Clerk at this meeting.
In 1849 the councillors presented
their report as to the examination
of the road and awarded to 'Divi-
sion No. 55 William Develin, over-
seer, the first prize of a new road
scrg,per of the value of £2, los. To
Di\'ision No. 59, Noah Bates, Over-
seer, to be laid out in procuring
useful implements for road making
she sum of JQ2; to Division No. 50,
Samuel B. Pringle, Overseer, to be
expended for the like purpose, third
prize of £,1, los. They awarded a
first class place for a vast improve-
ment in the art and practice of
road making to no. less than 56
divisions, while only ten were put
in the second class and one in the
third class. The report is address-
ed to the inhabitants of the Town-
ship and recommended that due
care should be observed in the se-
lection of active and enterprising
overseers. The report is signed by
Peter Perry and A. Farewell^ Dis-
trict Councillors.
In 1849 John Black, of Columbus,
was elected Town Clerk, the meet-'
ing was held at Cohmibus.
In 1850 for the first time five
councillors were elected, viz., Ezra
Annis, Dr. Allison,'' James Burns,
Luther Harden, Sr., and John
Black. Mr. Black being both
Councillor and C'lerk. Chester Drap-
er was appointed Clerk, and during
the same year Mr. R. T. Harrison
was appointed.
In 1851, Thomas McBrien com-
plained of being wrongly assessed
for "a merchant shop" and was re-
lieved from the taxes; William
Thompson complained that he was
assessed for "a pleasure carriage,"
which he does not possess. The
taxes were ordered to be repaid.
John Metcalfe prayed to be reliev-
ed from the pa3rment of taxes on
"a frame house" erroneously asses-
sed. His petition was dismissed,
but a Mr. I/etcher at 4:he same
meeting was relievied from an er-
roneous assessment foi: a frame
house."
Mr. Samuel Pollard at the same
session was relieved from payment
of taxes on "a pleasure carriage."
These cohiplaints and appeals
were caused by the assessment act
.which had a scale of assessment for
the kind of house a man lived in, a
house of round logs was assessed,
£15.

meeting, the church was filled with
scholars, teachers and trustees
from different parts of the To^m-
ship. A lecture was given by Prof.
Hind, of the Normal School and
illustrated by chemical experi-
ments.

HISTORY OF THE
EAST WHITBY
The township comprises the east
part of the oH Township of Whit-
by; from lots I to 17 inclusive. It
surrotihds the Town of Oshawa, as
the remaiiider of the old township
apes the Town of Whitby.
In the Home District days the
representation in the District Coun-
cil was similar to the recent sys-
tem. The representatives were
elected directly to tjie District
Council.
The old townships of Whitby and
Pickering each sent/ two members.
By consent they were generally
taken one from the east and one
from the west of the township.
For example, in 1842 Peter Perry
of Whitby and Edward Skae of
Oshawa were representatives.-
In' 1843 Dr. Allison of Brooklin
and A. Farewell of Oshawa were
representatives .
In 1845 Farewell and Perry were
representatives .
When the Municipal Act came
into force and five miembers were
elected the struggle commenced.
Th« east side of the townshiji, with
the influence of Oshawa, Columbus,
Harmony and Raglan, was pitted
against Whitby village, Brooklin
and Myrtle.
Bands of music from Oshawa and
Whitby proceeded to Brooklin on
election days, handbills, pamphlets
and "Facts for Electors" were
scattered broadcast over the town-
ship. The writer remembers away
back in the fifties a number of sail-
ors from about Port Oshawa vot-
ing for dead and absent electors at
Municipal Elections. It is said that
the practise was sometimes " at-
tempted in Parliamentary Elet-
tions also.
The separation of the county
, from York , or rather the selection
of a new county town, was anoth-
er line of cleavage.
When that was accomplished the
question of aid to the Whitty afld
Georgian Bay Rail way. was an ad-
ditional subject. Attempts Were
made to divide the township into
five wards to break the Whitby
combination, but it was unsuccess-
ful.
The incorporation of Oshawa was
hit upon as a means of counteraict-
ing the general success of Whitby
in these struggles.
Then came the separation of the
township in 1857, when James Dry-
den and A. Farewell were reeve ajid
deputy. John Ratclifie becoming
1st reeve and William Bartlett ist
deputy reeve of the new Township
of East -Whitby. '' ,
The history of the early settle-
ment of East Whitby township is
referred to in that of thfe senior
township.
The southern part of East Whit-
by was mostly settled by i>cople
from the Eastern Townships of
Lower Canada, and from Vermont /
and New York. The centre of the
COUNTY OP ONTARIO.
33
township was largely Nfettlcd by
west t>f Kngland men and was
known Sis the English Corners.
In the south were the CoryeUs,
Dearborns, Demerays, Drews, Fare,
wells; Groats, Halls, Moores,
Henrys, McGHls, McGregors, Ro-
gers, TerwiUagers, Annes, Hink-
sons, Mothersills, Pickles. In
the centre were the Clairks,
Doolittles, Hepburns, Beaths,
Hicks, Kars, Lakes, Ashtons, Mc-
Kenzies, Ormistons, Pascoes, Prin-
gks, Gibbs, Black, Waits, Howdens,
Smiths, Wilcoxson, Chandler, Dr.
McMahon, Stabback, Adams, John
Satclifie, ex-Warden of the County,
Harper and Adams families.
Amongst these men of Ihe centre
part of the township two are de-
serving of notice. John Black, a
Scotchman, kept a store at Colum-
bus. The sign was "John Black at
home." He was 'stron£[- in municipal
politics. His poetical effusions ap-
peared about the end of December
with wonderful regularity. The
writer remembers one- headed,
"Arouse Columbians, Every One."
Another. ^'Wards, Wards, Will You
the Town Divide?" He emigrated to
St. Louis, Missouri, and in a letter
to a friend some time after his ar-
rival stated that he was engaged
in "the business of raising hogs,
mules and niggers." W. H. Gibbs,
afterwards more than once mem-
ber for North Ontario, and after-
wards an alderman of Toronto, car-
ried on a store and built and ran
the Fornax ndUs to the west of Co-
lumbus. He was a brother of the
Hon. T. N. Gibbs.
In the north part of the township
were the Fishers, Harndens, Soin-
berger, Rays, Prescott, Newton,
Halls, Thomas Hodgson and Wm.
Thompson, well vnown as "The
Citizen" O'Boyle.
Gpst mills were built by Sandy
Small south of Cedardale. Peter
Taylor and Morris, three mile»
north of Oshawa.
John Ray, Luther Harnden, near
Raglan; A. M. Farewell, ji[rlst and
saw mill; and saw mills by John
Harper, R. Luke, Pascoe, Riy,'
J. Campbellj and Edward Smith.
Of the Smith family, WiUiam,
James, Robert and John, who set-
tled in the village of Columbus and
to the south of it, John and Rob-
ert Were members of the County
Coftncil. William, a yoimger mem-
ber of the family, served more than
one term as a member of the Do-
minion ' Parliament, representing
South Ontario. He was reeve and
represented the Township aiid the
County Council. H« is paymaster
of the 34th Regiment with the
rank of major.
At Port Oshawa the Mothersill
family were settlers sboEtly after
1833. George A. Mothersill, a Dub-
lin man, was harbor master at Port
Osha.wa. His sons, Richard, ex-
Warden of the County, who visited
the County Council at its last ses-
sion, is in his 88th year. His bro-
thers, John and Dr. Joseph Moth^
ersill, of Stratford, and Robert,
came with their father to East
Whitby. Robert returned to Ire-
land.
34
mStORY OF THE
Mr. Joseph Wood kept a store in
Oshawa shortly after 1834. He was
harbormaster at the time of his
death. A number of emigrants
were put ofi at Port Oshawa about
X853. Some of them wer- ill. Mr.
Wood and Mr. George A. Mother-
sill, the former harbormaster, while
humanely attempting to care for
these cholera-stricken people, were
both attacked by the disease and
died, as did some of the emigrants.
Klder Thomas Henry, a veteran
of 1812, and who was in receipt of
a pension for such services at the
time of his death, was also harbor-
master. His sons, George, John
(father of Ambrose Henry,
the ex-warden), Thomas, Phine-
as, I^eiiezer, Albert, James 0. and
WilliaJii were all active, useful ■ men
in forwarding the interests of the
township. J. O. Henry & Sons
were amsong the first to export ap-
ples to England. Before the rebellion
while schools and schoolmasters
were few, tyfo m.en who had been
working for Philemon Wright, the
owner of the present site of Ot-
tawa, and were unable to get pay
for their Vfork, and who declined to
accept the land-s occupied by the
principal streets of Ottawa in pay-
ment,, but did accept a horse, an
old wagon and harness and ;$ioo in-
stead, driving west, came into the
township.
The breaking down of their wag-
on at Benjamin Stone's place on
the Kingston road, east of Oshawa,;
resulted in their remaimng as set-
tlers. They were both well educat-
ed men. Schoolmasters were want-.
ed. One of them^ John Ritson,
taught a school on the eastern
boundary of Oshawa. .In this
schoolhouse, and in the woods to
the south of it, Joe Smith, . the
fou^ader of the Mormonsj frequently
preached and made some converts.
The Luke, Wellington, Keddie and
Hudson families, through marriage,
are his descendants.
The other man, Reuben Hudson^
married a daughter of A. M. Fare-
well,, t-aught school near Harmony
and carried on the mill and distil-
lery there. He invented a system
of shorthand writing, and it is said

means of communication by the re-

States Navy.
Benjamin Lett, who afterwards
achieved a bad eminence . by blow-
ing up. Brock's monument and de-
stroying one of the locks in the
Welland Canal, then lived east of
Raglan. He used to bring his
grists to the mill east of Harmony.
He was a man of studious habits,
passionately fond of history. He
would appear at the mill with his
grist at daylight, leave his grist
and borrow a book, go into the
woods, and at dark would return
the book and start on his ten-mile
drive home through the woods. H«

strength, while on his way to
Kingston gaol he overpowered his
guards and escaped.
The acts above mentioned are ex-
amples of his subsequent career.
He died in the Western States.
East Whitby was the residence of
one of the greatest, best and most
useful of men the Province has pro-
duced, namely, the Rev. Dr. R. H.
Thornton, a Presbyterian minister
who for many years lived near the
Union cemetery, Kingston road^ He
was the Superintendent of Schools
for the township for many years,
and by his lectures and writings
aroused great interest in education.
He published several useful school
books, notably the "Instructive
Reader." Through his influence
largely the excellent system of
school section libraries was estab-
lished by the old Township of
Whitby about 1854- He was the
apostle of temperance, and through
his influence many total abstinence
societies were formed in this and
the adjoining municipalities. He did
extensive missionary work in con-
nection with the church in Reach
and the ndrthern townships. He
was a man "of the large heart and
kindly hand."
, One. of his sons, Rev. Dr. Robert'
Thornton, has charge of the second
largest church in London, England,
and had charge of a church in Edin-
burgh.
Another son, E. J. Thornton, was
the popular manager of the Domin-
ion Bank in Whitby.. One of his
daughters was married to Principal
Kirkland of the Toronto Normal
School.
Samuel H-all, who lived north of
Oshawa, Was one of the most use-
ful men who lived in the township.
He was a son of James Hall, one
of the early settlers. He built the
Oshawa harbor and warehouses
and was connected with the manu-
facturing interests in Oshawa. He
built and carried on fpr many years
an extensive woollen mill three
miles north of Oshawa. His son, I<.
C. Hall, is a customs officer and
town treasurer of Oshawa.
Malcolm Wright, on the two rod
road", was for many years an ac-
tive municipal politician. He quiet-
ly took an important part in the
rebellion of 1837 and for his assist- ^
ance to Mr. Gibson of Yonge street,
Controller in Mackenzie's provision-
al Government, ' he was rewarded
by Gibson when he became Super-
intendent of the Coloniiation,Roads
and surveyor of many townships,
with information which enabled
him to procure valuable land grants
near the town of Harriston. Gib-
son was concealed in the bam"' of
Mr. Joseph Thorn, a Conservative,

HISTORY OF TH-E
ColQuel George H. Grierson, fa-
ther of ex-County Councillor Rob-
ert W. Grierson and Major J. F.
Grierson, barrister, of Oshawa, was
a resident of this township. He
was a man of extensive reading and
good ability and held several im-
portant civil positions in North-
umberland before moving here, and
was the first Police Magistrate of
Oshawa.
This township is well watered
and has a large number of farmers
who have achieved great success in
stock raising and fruit growing.
Port Oshawa at one time had
piers and breakwater, but they
were washed a^ay and the works
were finally confined to one pier.
In the grain shipping days' a large
amount 6f business was done. It
fell off considerably until the estab-
lis)iment pf manufactories at Osh-
awa when the business increased so
much that it was necessary to
make extensive repairs to the har-
bor an^ the Dominion Government
assumed the works and made the
repairs. It is connected with Osh-
awa by the Oshawa Railway.
Three large vessels, the "Para-
gon," the "Omar Pasha" and the
"Allies" were built at this port,
by Hon. W. H. Howland, Capt.
Ja'Jies Farewell and C. Ferwilliger.
The last named of whieh ended its
opean career as a British Govern-
ment coaliOjg vessel on the coast ol
Aftica. It is said that the first
three frame bridges in the county,
namely, the Harmony bridge^ the
Oshawa bridge and the bridge at
Duffin's Creek were built by ih*
Demarays of East Whitby.
In 1856 Jeremiah Lick of Dar-
lington, moved into East Whitby,
from Darlington. He subsequently
occupifed the Warren farm on the
Kingston Road. He was one of the
pioneers in improving the making
of butter. Years ago he w«nt to
Holland, engaged an interperter,
and spent considerable time study-
ing the dairy methods of that
country, which then held a first
place in butter making.
Joseph Gould, an Ehglishman,
was' his neighbor. Mr. Gotild's
sons, John T. and Joseph Gould,
and his son-inJaw, the late Ed-
ward Morgan, have been noted aS
extensive shipper's of cattle to
Europe., Mr. Joseph Gould, now pf
Boston, was the first shipper of
cattle to Europe from a port in
the State of Texas. ,
Prof. Melrose Gould, of Johns
Hopkins University, Baltimore, a
noted Publicist and authority on
social questions, and an eminent
financier, now of New York, is a
.son of Mr. John T. Gould above
mentioned.
Away back in the early forties ,
George .Gould and his brother,
Joseph came to this country.
Georije had been a contractor for
building the Delaware and Chesa-
peake canal, and .suffered by the
states repudiating and writing

Mr. Thomas Conant, recently de-
ceased, was a native of this town
ship. He was an extensive travel-
ler and v/riter for the new^spapers.
He was the author of "Upper Can-
ada Sketches." He acquired a
large amount of land by economy,
and left a fine library, containing
many historical works relative to
Canada.
James McBrien, Inspector of
Public Schools for the county
from 1872, has rendered very useful
service to the cause of education.
By constant Vork he has improved
the school buildings and their
equipment and succeeded in raising
the qualification of teachers ^with-
out involving the school trustees in
litigation. He has been connected
with the schools of this and Whit-

HISTORY OF THE
TOWNSHIP OF REACH
This township, which was named
after Colonel Reach, was surveyed
by Major S. S. Wilmot in 1809.
It had no white settler until, as de-
scribed by a local poet,
"In the month of May in the year
eighteen hundred and twenty-
one,
When Reuben CrandeU first begun
And did the^rst settling ever
done
In all the Town of Reach."
The Crandells came from New
Sfprk State to Prince Edward
Coimty in 1812 and from there to
Reach in 1 82 1 1 through the Town-
ship of East Whitby. The only set-
tlers then living between the pres-
ent Town of Oshawa and Port
Perry were Joseph Widdifield, who
lived on the Oshawa Creek where
the Reach road crosses it; Toseph
Wiley, who lived on the hill north
of Goodman's Mill, on the Nonquon
road, east and north of Columbus,
arid one John Ray, whu after-
wards moved into Reach. Mr.
Crandell settled on the south side
of the road leading from Prince Al-
bert to Manchester; there his '
daughter, the first white child, and
his son, Benjamin, the second
white child in the township, were
born. Peter Christie, M.P., now
occupies this farm.
The fnrest was so dense that it
took Crandell two days in clearing
a road sufficient to get his ox
$eam there from WUpjy's - place.
The next settlement was com-
mence4 in 1823 by John Ray, on
Icxt II, in the second cohcessSlon,
and William Wade settled near
Manchester. They were followed
by Jones, Hughes and Marvin, but
the difficulties of settlement and
the privations to be endured were
so great that they soon became
disheartened and moved away.
In 1824 Abner Heard, afterwards
known as Squire Heard, and Reu-
ben Dayton ^afterwards settled on
the site of Prince Albert, which
was for many years known as
Dayton's Corners. It was some-
times called Boynton's Corners,
after William Boynton, who after-
wards settled there south of Prince
Albert, and built a tavern which
is still standing.
In 1825 a rough road was opened
from this place to Wiley's in Whit-
by Township, and the first
burial in the Township, that
of John Ray, took place. The
first grave at Prince Albert,
which now has one of the prettiest
cemeteries in Ontario, was for the
burial of Reuben Dayton, son of
one of the pioneers.
In 1828 John Ensign settled
where Epsom now stands. He was
followed by Hosea Shaw in 1829,
while south of Manchester Henry
Walker, the Silvers, William Ash-
ton, (1831) Dunholm, Dwire, Hink-
son, Samuel Barber, Hiram Buck,

and Thomas Graham (1834).
Ashton left England in the sail-
ing vessel "America" on the 14th
June, 1827, and arrived in New
York on the 26th of Jnly follow-
ing. He was fortunate as to the
length of his voyage, as compared
with many others who settled at
English Corners in Whitby Town-
ship and in the Townshipi oi Reach,
For example, William Paxton, great
grandfather of the present sherifi,
J. F. Paxton, was eleven weeks on
the ocean.
Solomon Orser settled between
Port Perry alid the Non^qtion. He
was twelve days in making ■ the
journey from Kingston, with a
yoke of steers, to the site of Or-
ser's Tavern. He was followed by
Jeremiah Orser, John Mark and
James Moon. The latter kept the
Nonquon House, south of the riv-
er. Charles Black kept a tavern
on the, north bank of the river. The
deep gorge through which travel-
lers had to pass, before the road
was diverted west to Seagrove, was
probably thought dangerous
enough to drivt any m.an to drink.
Thomas Shaw settled between Or-
ser's and Mobn's about this time.
A census in 1831 showed the
population- to be 134. In 1833 and
1834 a number of settlers took up
land about' Greeitbaiik. The
Craggs, Timothy and Isaac ; the
Bairds, Robert and Samuel; George
Patterson, Robert WeUs, first de-
puty reeve of Reach, and one Adams
were amongst these. Lewis Houckj
about this time, was settled in the
14th concession. Joseph Ward and
wife, old settlers, have recently cel-
ebrated their golden wedding, at
which about fifty of their descend-
ants were present.
The first saw mill in the town-
ship was built by Squire Heard •
just west of Borelia, in 1831. It
served a most useful purpose to
the settlers, but was blown _ down
iu the storm of 1852.
In 1836, the first store in the
to'rtrnship was oiJened by Captain
George Leaich, an Englishman, in
what is said to have been the first
frame building built in the town^
ship. The man who wrote a book;"
entitled "Twelve Miles from a Le-
mon," would have had a much
better subject in describiMg the
hardship of the settlers, who up to
that time had lived, many of
them, twenty-five miles from al-
most every necessary of life.
Reach shoidd erect a monument
to Leach. Besides being the first
storekeeper he was the first grain'
buyer and postmaster, the post
office being opened in 1840. The
first mail was carried to it on
horseback by William Thomas, fa-
ther of W. H. Thomas of Oshawa,
from "that place. There had been
a system of letter carrying
through the township at stated in-
tervals as early as 1827. (See
notes as to Tp. of Thorah).
In 1836 the Coates settlement
was commenced near Shirley post
office. Two men, Truax and Pot-
ter, had previously lived there a
40
HISTORY OF THE
short timej but abandoned th^eir
location before Mr. Coates settled
there. Truax went to 14th con.
Reach.
In 1838, Reuben Crandell built a
few :b:ame houses at Prince Albert
, , and Borelia.
In 1846 James Burnqtt, Edward
Asling, Smith settled on the
9th and loth concessioijs about
the middle of the township. Mr.
Ailing built the first grist mill
about this time, he afterwards had
it driven by steam- It is said to
yj'' have been "the first steam mill in
, til? township. The first steam saw
iV mill in the present limits of the
township was built by ;A. Fare-
wedl of East Whitby at Seagrave
in 1854. The mill was not raised
on the day appointed because he
rrfused to supply intoxicating li-
quors for the "raisin'." It was
subseqju^rtly raised by Sons , of
Temperance from Oshawa, Raglan
and Fort Perry and other temper-
ance men frqm the Township of
Reach. Reach now is and fo4 years
has been' the only Loc^l Option
municipality in the county, except
Scugog and Pickering.
ROADS.
The importance of good, roads in
pr,omp,ting the settlement of the
country is shown by the fact th^t
the northerly part of Brock, the
Township of Thorah and the south
of Mjcira had received many set-
tlers while Reach was compara-
tively unpccupied, the, settlers in
these townsjiips having gone up
Governor Simcoe's road (Yonge
St.) to Lake Simcoe and then east-
ward along the shores of the lake. "^
•,A wise policy was tidopted in
building four leading roads through
the Township from south to north,
continuing roads from Lake On-
tario through the Township; of
Whitby; first Simcoe street, the
Reach road from Oshawa through
English Corners, now Columbus,
O'Boyle's Corners,- now Raglan,
Dayton,'s Corners, Prince Albert,
Crandell's Corners (Borelia)i, thence
north to the Nonquon, striking the
town line, between Brock and Mari-
posa. The Reach part of this road
was laid out by Mr. Smellie of
Newmarket in 1828. Second, the
plank road running from Whitby
through Winchester, now BrookUn,
Well's Corners, now Myrtle, Fitch-
ett's Corners, now Manchester,
thence to Borelia and Port Perry.
This road . was assumed by the
Government of Canada in 1845,
through the persistence of Peter
Perry, who represented the third
riding of York, ■ now South
Ontario, in Parliaiment. It
was so laid out and biult by Gov-
ernment engineers as to secure a
good high and dry r^yad bed with
easy grades over the ridges that to
this day it requires nothing' but
an occasional coat of gravel. It is
still an object lesson to pathmas-
terS and road builders.
Throvighout its entire length it
was planked. , It was a toll road
until ; the building of' the railway,
when it was abandoned to the
municipalities, From Manchester
COUNTY OF ONTARIO.
4»
a good road was opened through
Smithtown, now Greenbank, and
Sadntfield to the Township of
Brock.
Third, the Brock road, running! in
a direct line north from Whitby
through Butler's Corners,' now
Ashburn, McKercher's Corners,
now Utica, Jockey Hill, now Ep-
som, to the rear of ttie township.
Jt was surveyed in 1831 and the
Scotch settlement between Man-
chester and Utica was commenced
by Peter and Donald Christie, un-
cles of Peter Christie, M.P., ex-
warden, Archibald McDermaid and
IJuncan McKercher.
Fourth, in 1851 an important
road, the Nonquon, with the short-
est distance between the lakes and
the easiest grades, was built be-
tween Port Peirry and Oshawa by
a company which Dr. McGill, A.
Farewell, T. N. Gibbs, Col. G. H.
Griersbn and Col. Fairbanks were
the promoters.
Schools for white children.
1. The first school west of Prince
Albert in 1829. William Ash ton,
a. Derbyshire man, was said to
have been the first :teacher. It is
claimed also that a Mr. John
James , Alexander Cameron Cull
was the first teacher in the town-
ship. 'It is stated that John^eav-,
leslay was one of the first if not
the first teacher iij. this township-
2. One at the Scotch settlement,
near Utica,
3. The school at Cedar CreeJb, 3
miles south of Prince Albert, 1841.
4. The school on the first conces-
sion north of Ashbtirn, in 1843.
5. The school on the Brock road
between the nth and 12th conces-
sions, 1843.
6. The school at Utica, 1843.
7. One on the 2nd concession,
near the Plank Road (Vernon's),
1844.
8. One south of Otser's tavern.
Reach road, 1845.
9. The school one mile north of

13. One at the Coates Settle^
ment, 2nd con., 1848.
The first school in the township
was established in 1828 by EMer
Scott of the American Missionary
Society for the Indians who then
had a reservation where Port
Perry now stands. The school Vra$
not a large one; it had about thirty
pupils, some of them about twice
the age of the teacher, iXrho was

HISTORY OF THE

a lad of great ability and promise.
He died when very young while
completing his studies in a coUeige
in the Eastern States.
-• ''CHURCHES.
The first preaching of the Gospel
was commenced in 1827 by Elder
Israel Marsh, a Baptist. ' He was
grandfather of Charles Marsh, af-
terwards reeve of the township and
member of the County Council.
The Rev. Mr. Scott, above men-
titoned, through his labors in 1827 ,
converted the Indians^^ from Pagan-
ism to Christianity. Prior to this
they had been a pest and a nui-
sance to the township. Through his'
labors there was great improve-
ment in their habits and conduct.
In 1832 J. Carruthers, Presbyter-
ian missionary, commenced to
visit the Counties of York, On-
tario, Victoria and Simcoe preach-
ing, to the settlers.
In his journal he speaks of trav-
elling from Beggs and McGills, in
the front of Whitby Township,
through the forest to the present
site of Prince- Albert, thence north
to Brock and Beaverton, seeing
neither houses nor settlers in some
cases for twelve miles.
In 1835 the Rev: R. H. Thornton
of the Kingston road, in Whitby
'Township, commenced holding ser-
vices in the settlers' houses in
Iteach. He frequently met In-
dians carrying their canoes between
Lakes Sciigog and Ontario.
In 1844, the Baptists commenced
holding services in a schoolfaousc,
probably 'Vernon's. The first
building built for a church was
built by the Methodists on the
Brock road in the iith concession
in 1848, and in the same year the
Presbyterians built a church in the
1 2th concession. The third church
was built by the Presbyterians at
TJtica, about this time. The build-
ing came about in this way: John
Christie, father of Peter Christie,
ex-warden and M. P., was accus-
tomed to walk to the kirk on
Starr's hill, east of Whitby, town,
from Epsom. He wrote to the
Marquis of Bredalbane in Scot-
land of the want of churches in Can-
ada. The Earl sent a subscription ©f
£20 sterling and with this and the
contributions of lumber, shingle^
and timber the church was built in
1848. John Christie's wife died in
1903, aged 96.
The census taken in 1848 showed
the population had increased to the
' number of i ,541 during the preced-
ing seven years.
POST OFFICES.
Reach had but one post office un-
til 1851 and only a mail twice a
week; In that year they had a
tri-weekly mail. In 1852 the Port
Perry, Manchester and Epsom post
offices were opened and Prince Al-
bert got a daily mail. Reach re-
ceived its first telegraph message
at the office of Mason & Ctirts'
harness shop.
The steamer "Woodman," Cap-
COUNTY OF ONTARIO.
43
tain Hugh Chisholm, was built in
1851, and commenced tri-weekly
trips to Lindsay.
The first Division Court was held
by Judge Burnham at Manchester
in 1852. Mr. Bowers of Port Perry
built the Scugog floating bridge in
1856 and the services of the Island
ferry boat were discontinued. The
bridge was a veritable "floating
afiair," portions of it went float-
ing down the lake shortly after-
wards.
Dr. W.'O. Eastwood, of Whitby,
was then practising at Port Perry
and was the first to ride over the
bridge. Up to that time he had to
keep a boat for visiting his island
patients.
The dam upon the Scugog River
at I/indsay was built in 1845 and
raised the waters of the lake three
or four feet and also a large quan-
tity of fever and ague which caused
the first medical man to settle in
the township, namely, Dr„ Jona-
than Foote, who came from Ver-
mont.
The Ontario Observer was first
published in 1857 in Prince Albert
by James Holden and has been
continuously issued. Messrs. James
Holden, James Baird and Henry
Parsons have been the publishers.
The Prince "Albert Infantry Com-
pany was raised by Major T. C.
Forettnan, with John Billdtigs as
lieutenant, in 1862. This company
was for some time in the Toronto
gaol in 1866 in charge of the Fen-
ian prisoners captured at Ridge-
way and Fort Erie.
Before the construction of rail-
ways in the county, Prince Albert
was for a long time, with .the ex-
ception of Brampton, the largest
grain market in Upper Canada:
James and Andrew Laing pf Osh-
awa, J. B, Warren, f. N. Gibbs,
A. Farewell, P. A. Hurd, George
Currie and T. C. Foreman were
amongst the principal buyer^.
Joshua Wright, ex-warden, did a
large boot and shoe and ta,nilery
biusiness at this point. The Village
of Port Perry, with its milling and
mercantile interests, had ihcreased
so rapidly in population and
wealth that it was detached from
the township and incorporated on
June gth, 1871. The late reeve
Mr. Wright, Crosier and Lamb are
members of families who have long
been connected with the township.
44
HIS'rORY OF ifHE
TOWNSHIP OF SCUGOG
Assfessmcnt, 1906, $342,846.
Population, ,1904, 47*2.
This island, township was survey-
ed by Major Wilmot in 1816 and
rSiy. it formed part of -the Town-
ship of Reach and CartWright. The
building of the dam by Purdy at
Lindsay, caused the raising of the
lake, separating the present town-
ship ijrotn the mainland. ' The first
white settler was Graxton, then
came Stephen Scovillei the Pickles,
Mqdres, Readers, Seargent, E. and
J. W. Gamble, Rodman Burnham,
Cole, the Grants, Sweetmans, Chas.
Nesbitt, Aldred, John Foy, John
Collins, Wm. Bateman, J. P., the
Hood family, of which the present
Reeve Hood is a descendant.
There is an Indian reservation
about 800 acres, on which a small
tribe of Mississaga Indians still
reside. The first election for the
township was held in the Head
schoolhpuse in 1855, when the fol-
lowing councillors were elected:
James Warren Gamble, Mathew
Emerson, Solomon Fralick, Daniel
WiUiams and Joseph Reader.
J amies W. Gamble was the first
reeve, John Foy was appointed the
first clerk and treasurer, and has
filled both oflSces continuously and
with great ability to the date of
his death in 1905. Mr. Thomas
Graham succeeded him.
There is one post office and store
on the island. They were estab-
lished about i860. There are three
schools and four churches in the
municipality. Helen Pickle was the
first white child born on the isi-
land and still is living there.
The island is a beautiful one,
containing aWout 11,006 acres. Seen
from Port Perry arid th« lake it
presents a view hardly to be ex-
celled in the provincti. It was con-
nected with Port Perry by a
floating bridge about 1855 aid
with Cartwright Township by a
roadway about the year 1889.
Scugog Lake is well stocked with
fish and is the feeding place of
wild birds— the Island will yet be a
summer resort.
Messrs. Ezra W. Gamble, Wil-
liam Sexton, James Graham were
each elected seven times as reeve
of the township. Messrs. Wm.
Biatemafl and W. R. Ham each fill-
ed the office for five years or
more.
James Graham, who was a reeve
of Reach, bought the extensive
Sexton farm and carried on exten-
siively the raising of thoroughbred
stock.
Up to 1851 the township had not
three miles of road fit for travel.
The whole island is now well sup-
plied with good roads.
Before the Island was made a
separate municipality,, one-half of
it was governed by Reach and one-
half by Cartwright.

TOWNSHIP OF UXBRIDGE
This township lies itntnedfia'tely
north of Pickering in the second
range of townships from Lake On-
tarib. Before the separation tit the
county this township was united
with the Townships of Whitchurch,
County of York, and Scott.
It was surveyed in 1804 and 1805
by S. S. Wilmot, whose name ap-
pears in the Official Gazette in
April, 1805, as being licensed to
survey lands. Surveyors, like the
lawyers in those days, were not
troubled with examinations.
Batches of them were made by
Acts of Parliament or Orders in
Council.
Markham imder the leadership of
William Berezey in 17^4.
In 1808 there was a large settle-
ment of Pennsylvannia Dutch Quak-
ers. They included the families of
Joseph Collins, James Hughes,
Amos, Stephen ahd Thomas Hil-
borne, Elijah CoUiiisV Jona-
than and William Gold, whose-
names were later changed to
Gould, Ezekiel Jariies-, Ezekiel Rob-
erts, Robert Wilson, Samuel
Haines, George Webb and Charles
Chapman.
They ,settled at or near Uxbrid^ge
Town. . ! .
The first settler was Dr. Beswick
in the year 1806. He attempted
to build a grist mill and saw mill
in that year, but before its com-
pletion he sold his property to .Jo-
seph Collins, who completed the
mill but was killed in it while at-
tempting to remove the ice around
the flutter wheel.
In the year 1808 that part of the
township around Glasgow was set-
tled by the following families: The
Kesters, Mordens, Forsyths,
Browns, Widemans, McWain, Town-
send and French. Some of the.se
doubtless descended from the Ger-
mans from the Pultnex settlement

was Coujity Warden and represent-
ed North Ontario more than once
in Pirovincial and Dominion Parlia-
ments. He represented West On-
tario at the time this constituency
was abolished on the redistribution
of Dominion constituencies.
The first saw mill in the
township was built in 1809,
by Joseph Collins, and he
also, built the first grist mill in the
same year. I/ater grist mills were
built by Joseph Gould, McNaugh-
toii of I Glasgow, Wheeler of Ux-
bridge, Davidson of Goodwood.
The first schoolhouse was ' built
in 1817 on lot 30, concession 6.
The first teacher was a little Irish-
man whose name has not been
handed dov«i to posterity.
The first store was built in 1830
by J. P. Plank, who came from
the State of New York in 1826,
and it was opened by Carleton
I^ynde, who brought a stock of
goods there from Oshawa.
The first post ofiS.ce was estab-
lished in li836. The first postinas-
ter was Joseph Bascom, a des-
cendent. Dr. Joseph Bascom of To-
ronto, was first mayor of the Town
of Uxbridge. The Home District
Register in 1837 gives the popula-
tion of the township at 462, and
the number of freeholders and
householders as 99. The popula*
tioh of Thorah was then 639.
In i8i22, when Mr. Gould settled
in the villgge, it contained Collins'
small grist mill, John Lyons'
blacksmith shop and log house, J.
P. Plank's small tavern, Thomas
Arnold's cooper shop ' and house,
the Carleton Lynde store and Mr.
Gould's saw mill and house south
of the present grist mill.
The only other village of any im-
portance is the Village of Good-
wood.
The Dowswells and Todds were
early settlers. Members of these
families have held important muni-
cipal positions, both in the town-
ship and county. The Waggs,
Longs, Widdifields, Vanzant,
Browns, Munros, Mordens, McCul-
loughs and Forsyths, were early
settlers in the neighborhood.
The township has twelve schools
and eleven churches. In 1832 the
Rev. Mr. Caruthers, the Presbyter-
ian missionary, speaks of a twelve-
mile tramp from Plank's tavern to
Whitchurch through the woods
without seeing a house or a set-
tler.
ill the York Almanac, published
by Charles Fothergill in 1825^ the
population of Uxbridge and Whit- '

position for many years.
The township was well timbered. %
with pine. The Goulds, Forsyths,

Benjamin Parker of Glasgow \vas
one of the eatly settlers; was reeve
and then member of the County
Council for many years. He is an
active ma:gisti:ate. While in the

bridge near Weir's Pond has re-
cently been assumed by the county
as a boundary line bridge.
The waters of the Uxbridge
strea-ms are so clear, cold and
pure that speckled trout abound,
and numerous trout breeding ponds
have been established.
Elisha MMler of Glasgow we^s an

south part. '<
The Brothers Asa and • Joseph
Millard, of Altona, are in the lead-
ing ranks amongst horsqbreeders in
the county. They have both re-
presented their township in- the-
County Council fin several sessions.

HISTORY OF THE
TOWNSHIP OF SCOTT.
In 1842 the poptdation ol Ux-
biiil^e and Scott was 8io.'
The township was surveyed in
1807 by Majop WilHidtt of Clarke.
The first settler was a Mr. Evan
Jbties, a Welshman, who arrived
there in 1830 and settled on Lot
17 'in the 6th' concession. Abraham
Bagshaw afterwards owned and oc-
cupied the lot. The first school-
house in the township was built on
the n<ii^thfeast corner of this lot.
The first teacher was a Mr. Wil-
liam Morrow. During the next few
years the Weldons, Vernohs,
Phpps, Pearts, John and James
Anderson, David and Donald Urqu-
hart, John and George Clark,
James Blanchard, Daniel Smith,
William and John Hardy, Geoirga
Smith, Hugh Mustard, Thomas
Hood, Peter Leask, Thos. Thomp-
son, Simeon Tiffin, Joseph Ari-
nand, William Nelson, Andrew Tur-
ner and Thomas Roland became
settlers.
The Home District Register and
Almanac, published in 1837, gives
only the names of fourteen settlers
householders in the township who
arf included in the above list. Jas.
K. Vernon was the first reeve of
the township after the separation.
He was a member of the old Home
District Council in 1847 also. He
was the first postmaster in the
township and kept the oflS.ce on his
farm on lot 8, in the 6th conces-
sion.
James Galloway was a member
of the provisional County Council
of Ontario and opposed the separa-
tion of the county from York and
Peel. He had the first contract for
carrying the mail into the to^s^-
ship.
The first white child born in the
township was the daughter of Mr.
Thomas Hood, a Scotchman, who
settled on lot 3. in the 6th conces-
sion, in 1833^ She married Mr.
■John Smith and is now dead. Her
brother and sister occupy the farm
where she was born.
The second white male child in
the township was Alexander F.
Urquhatt. He was borii in 1839.
The first doctor in the township
was Dr. John HsCrdy. He was the
first returning oflScer at a parlia-
mentary election held in the town-
ship. He and his brother William
came from Scotland to Scott
about 1844. Alexander Hardy, sev-
eral times a member of the County
Council, was a son of William
Hardy.
The first town meeting in the
township was held at Mr. Thomas
Hood's house, the first Monday in
January, 1843. Abraham Bagshaw
was elected chairman and John
Clark was elected town clerk.
At this meeting six school com-
missioners and five pathmasters
for the whole township were ap-
pointed. The by-laws as passed at
this meeting are a model as to
COUNTY Olf ONTARIO.

brevity, '•''Hogs to be free comin-
ers," "Horses to be ditto," "The
lawful i ence to be six feet high,
staked and double ridered."
These people started in so well
as to fiences that to this day there
are few townships in the Province
where the fencing is as good as in
the Township of Scott.
Before the date of this town
meeting the late Joseph Gould, ex-
M^, P., of Uxbridge, represented the
united townships of Uxbridge and
Scott in the Home District Coun-
cil in 1842, 1844, 1846, 184- . 1848
and 1849, '
George Thompson held the offices
of town clerk, assessor and collec-
tor for many years" and was reeve
of the township at date of his
death. His nephew, John, son of
Thomas" Thompson, one of the
early settlers, was deputy reeve at
that time.
The early settlers were principal-
V ly from Scotland and the borders
of England. A number of Irish
settlers subsequently came in am-
ongst whbm are the Madills, Rej^-
nards, Archibald Reid and otheirs.
Their descendants were amongst
^ the wealthiest and most prosper-
ous of the township.
The first Superintendent of
Schools was Abraham Bagshaw.
He was succeeded by the Rev. Wm.
Cleland, of St. Andrew's church.
The second school house in the
township was biult nearly fifty
years ago on the lauds where the
Oddfellows' Hall at Sandford now
stands.
Andrew Turner was a representa-
tive in 1844.
The commissioners for the Court
of Reqjiiests in I839 for the town-
ships of Brock and Scott were
Mathew Cameroh, John Shier, jr., .
and Joseph Ivynch, Esquires.
This township is noted for the
law abiding character of its peo-
ple. The crimitial record of the
township for the last fifty years
contains but few names of resi-
dents of this township.
The township ha? but two ho-
tels.
The township has nine schools
and piarts of it form parts of three
union schools. Scott has nine
churches, five Methodist, three
Presbyterian and one MennOnite.
The first church ' was a Baptist
church built south of Sandford very
early in the history of the town-
ship. «
The Scott Presbyterians did not
build a church in the township for
many years. They attended St.
Andrew's church of Scott and Ux-
bridge at Quaker Hill, in Uxbridge
Township. The Rev. Mr. Lambie,
from Scotland, did the first mis-
sionary work in Scot-f:, preaching
in the settler's houses. He was
well known in Whitby, was minis-
ter of the Old Kirk on Starr's

HISTORY" OF THE
Hill, east of the town.
George Harrison moved into the
township from the 'Township of
iReach in 1859.
The fine wheat lands of Scott
produced a number of good plough-
men who did not hesitate to enter
into contest with men of other
townships. Amiongst those who
entered t^ese contests , were Jaco.b
Taylor, John Taylor, Andrew 'Tur-
ner, Andrew Smith, Don,ald Urqu-
hart, Colin , Nphle, William Galloj
way and Marshall. They were good
representatives, of the, yepinanry of
whom it may be said, 'TIow, jo-
cund did they dr^ve their team
afield," "How bowed the woods
beneath their , sturdy stroke."
Scjott was well timbered with
pine. At one time on the east
branch of the Blacjc River, the fol--
lowing settlers were running saw
mills and doing a large lumber
business: Abraham Lehman, Levi
Card, Martin Peart, .James Iveask
and a Mr. Stevenson. Mr. Leask
had a flouring and oat meal mill
on the same stream,
In addition to pine the township
seems to have had a fair quantity
of sugar maples, for as late as
1852, 14,000 pounds of maple sugar
was returned as having been made
in the township. As much as a
quarter of a million pounds of
maple sAigar ha? been made in the
county in a year during the early
fifties.
Messrs. George Smith, Allan
Gray and R. S. Webster, represent-
atives of Scott in the County
Council, have been honored with
election as Wardens of the County,
John Blanchard, several times a
member of the Coimty Coimci'l, is
a son of James Blanchard, one of
the early settlers.
Robert Rowlatid, now of the ,
County of York, was. for many
years a prominent and useful mem-
ber of the County Council as a re-
])resentative from ^cott,
Willia,m Nelson, Esq., the clerk, .
of the township council, represent-
ed this township as reeve fpr four
years. His knowledge of Municipal
affairs and good judgment, made.
, him a most useful officer.
The tornado v.'hich swept
through Reach in 1853, killing two
people, passed thi;qugh this town-
ship between Udora and Leaskdale.
It did great damage and hiudertd
the clearing up of the lands. Scott
has fine beds of gravel and has
had councilmen and pathmasters
,who knew how to use gravel, arid
were not afraid to use it — and so
the township has the best roads in
ithe coitntry.

TOWNSHIP OF BROCK.
This township named after Gen-
eral Brock was surveyed in 151 7.
There was a number of settlers
in Brock before the more southern
Township of Reach. They came by
way of Yonge Street, some east
' from Newmarket and some around
the south shore of I,ake Simcoe. ,
The first white male child born
in the township . was Robert
Stephenson. The first white female
child born in the tpwnship was
Rachael Bagshaw.
In 1821 Philip St. John, com-
monly known as the "King of
Brock," came from Ireland and set-
"eled in the township.
The Hon. J. W. St. John, th*"
present member for West York and
Speaker of the Legislature, is one
of his 120 descendants who were
living at his death in i&T^.
, Col". .Tames Vrooman and. George
Vrooman were earlier settlers, but
the pioneer settler was James
Reekie. He came there in 1818,
October loth, on the night of
which he slept under a pine tree.
William Bagshaw who was the first
postmaster in the township, set-
tled on Lot 5, Con. 9, in the year
1821.
The first mill was built on Lot
6, Con. 7, by James Ruddy. The
first of the extensive Shier family
was John Shier. He was a Limer-
ick man who took up Lots i, 2 and
3 in the 5th Con. His 'immediate
descendants, eight sons and six
daughters,' are all living.
The first store in the townshipi
was' opened by his brother, Richarjd
Shier, Lot 4, Con. 5. His son
George was reeve and county coun-
cillor. A recent counting of this
family shows that there were 217
of the family within 10 miles of
the old homestead. This lamily
was of the' Palatine stock and, left
Germany in 1706, went to Ire-
land and descendants came to this
country, Jacob Shier settling first
in Lower Canada. Came to 5th
concession of Brock in 1832.
The first town meeting was held
on the 7th January, 1833, at the
house of Mr. Samuel Umphrey.
William Williams was elected
township clerk, Richard Shier col-
lector and John Shier assessor.
Walton's register of the County
of York in 1836-7 gives the popula-
tion of Brock at 1,240; 106 more
males than females.
The town meetings up to and in-
cluding 1848 seem to have been
held at private houses. In this
latter year the meeting was held
at the house of William Jones,
when Col. James Vrooman and
Robert Sproule were elected coun-
cillors to meet in the Home Dis-
trict Council at Toronto.
In 1850 township councillors were

Robert Sproule was elected reeve
and John Matcalfe was appointed
clerk!
One of the oldest settlers, James
Weatheral, died recently, having
lived continuously 74 years upon
the farm which his father located
three years before the birth of his
son.
Money was so scarce in those
days that he was glad to get a
dollar for walking to Toronto and
driving some cattle. This was all
he received for his 120 mile walk.
Thomas H. Walshe was town-

HISTORY OF THE
POLICE VILLAGE OF SUNDERLAND.
This thriving village, once called
Jones' Corners, was made a Police
Village by by-law of the County
Council in 1900. It is on the line
of the Grand Trunk Railw^ay with-
in a short distance of Blaickwater
Junction J
Many of the early settlers of
Brock and their children who have
acquired a competence, are here
ending their days, in well-earned
leisiure. The village has good ho-
tels, well stocked stores and piib-
lic library, and a large number of
fine residences.
The Towhship Hall is here. It is
a: large one and necessarily so for
the people of this townsHp aiid its
capital take an earnest and praise-
worthy interest in all pubUc af-
fairs. The old frame building, built
in the days of Malcolm Gillespie,
has been replaced by the fine new
brick hall, containing clerks' office.s
and a lock up.
The village is lighted by electric-
ity. It has long had a private
J>ank and recently a chartered
bank has established a branch to
assist in receiving and caring for
the- surplus monies whiph the
thrifty yeomen of this fine town-
ship are imable to find borrowers

TOWNSHIP OF THORAH.
This was probably the firs,t town-
ship in the county to be visited by
a white man. About 290 years ago
Champlain, the French explorer
and G;overnor of Quebec, came
down the Severn through Lake
Couchiching, the Narrows, to the
mouth of the Talbot River, down
the waters of the Trent to Lake
Ontario, by the route along which
the Trent Canal iis built.
The township was surveyed in
parts, first, in 1820, by J. E.
White, who settled just north of
Beaverton on the lake shore in
1822. His son James was the first
white male child born in the town-
ship, and this same James White
in 1847 married Jeahette Waddell,
the first white child born in Mara.
The first female child was Eliza-
beth Turner, now Mrs. McTaggaxt
of Beaverton. She was a daughter
of Ensign Turner, a retired half-
pay officer, who settled in the
southwest corner of the township.
The house built by him in 1822
is still standing. It is the oldest
house in the township. The lum-
ber used in building it was brought
from Holland Landing by a row-
boat. The population of the town-
ship in 1825 is stated by the York
Almanac as 10.
In 1824 Donald Cameron brought
a number^ of setters from Glen-
garry, amongst which were the an-
cestors of the Campbells, the Mc-
Raes, the McDonalds and Camer-
ons, now so numerous in Thorah
and Beaverton, Mrs, Donald Cam-
eron died in 1834 and was the first
person buried in the Stone Church
Cemetery. Her daughter, Mrs.
William McRae, was the mother of
Alexander McRae, for many years
a member of the County Council.,
The importance of this settlement
appears from the fact that the di-
rectory' and registry of settlers and
almanacs published in 183 7 shows
that oiie-fourth of the householders
of Thorah belong to these four fam- .
iKes. Ensign Turner was followed
by a number of half-pay officers,
Captain (then Ensign)' Wm. Gibbs,
Lieut. Osborne, Messrs. Ross, Neil,
Murray and O'Dbnnell, Lt.^Col.
Kenneth Cameron, of tjie 79th
Highlanders, who was the first re-
presentative of Thorah :to Home
District Cpuncil, and a J. P., 1831.
In 1827 the balance of the town-
ship was surveyed by Gibson. A
number of Scotch settlers from Is-
lay Island, including Donald Cal-
der, the McMillans and the Mc-
Fadgens took up lands, and in.
1830, they were followed by more
Highlanders, John Bruce, John
Gunn, James Gordop., Fraser, Mc-
Lellans, Neil Murray. The mission-
ary, Carruthers, in his Journal,
describes a religious service held
on the banks of the Talbot River
on Wednesday, 31st October, 1832.
He says: "Thorah is settling by'
Highland Scotch and has a pro-
promising appearance for the sup-
port of the ministjsr of the Kirk.",
He describes the roads around the
lake to Geprgina as 'i'passing
through imich forest and the worst
possibles"
56
HISTORY OF TH-E
Donald Calder built, the first saw
mill and grist mill. The first store
was opened by Kenneth Cameron
in 1830. In 1833 George Proctor
settled in the township and opened
the second store. He represented
the township in the Hbnie District
Council for many years. About the
same time Charles Robinson came
to the township and for over fifty
years served it in various import-
ant positions^ as representative in
the Counties of York, Ontario and
Peel in 1852, many years reeve of
the Township of Thorah, a member
of the County Council of this
county, of which he was warden in
1859, a magistrate and Clerk of
the Division Court for many years.
The first post office was opened
in 'i8'35, the first postmaster being
James Ellis, but the carrying of
letters ' to and from Beaverton
dates badk to 1827, when Donald
Cameron, above mentioned, ob-
tained the consent of the Postmas-
ter-General, that a man could be
employed in carrj'ing mail matter
between Beaverton and the King-
ston road post office in Whitby
Township, kept by J. B. Warren,
a mile and one-half ea$t of WhitHy.
In addition to being the nearest
pOSt office Warren's was the 'near-
est stote. A subscription was
raised and' Kenneth Campbell was
appointed postman. He walked
from Beaverton to Whitby once ev-
erv two weeks. He received the
subscriptions and a small sum
from the persons for whom he car-
ried the letters. The few settlers
in Brock; Reach and the northern
part of Whitby obtained comn^uni-
cation with the outside world
through this means.
The 'first township clerk . was
John McKay, who settled in 1 833.
The first woollen mill in North
Ontario was built by Postmaster
Ellis. The population in 1835 is
given at 585, while Reach was but
667.
The first church was built in
1843. The Rev. Dr. W^atson was
the first settled pastor of the Pres-
byterian church. He continued his
ministry from 1853 to 1903, con-
cludi'ng his fifty years of service.
The first town meeting was held
at Beaverton on the 2ist of Janu-
ary, 1850. Tie first councillors
were Alexander Brait fp^ Ward
No. I, Chas. Robinson, No. 2;
Geo. Proctor, No. 3; Donald Cam-
eron, No. 4; Kenneth Cameron,
No. 5, Kenneth Cameron was
elected reeve.
At the first meeting a petition
to the Government was , adopted
urging the completion of a great
public highway from Port Whitby
to Sturgeon B^y on Lake Hurpn.
In 1858 Mr. McKay, the clerts
and treasurer, was succeeded as
clerk by George Smith, whp held
the offijse until 1 89 1, when he was
succeeded by the present clerk,
John McArthur. ■
Messrs. John McKay, Capt.
Chas. H. Davidson, B. Madill and
John lilcArthur have been the
treasurers of the township, since its

Beaverton was detached from the
township and incorporated as a

HISTORt OF *rHE
TOWNSHIP OF MARA.
This Township like Thorah was
surveyed in parts. The first part
was surveyed by J. G. Chewitt in
1821.
■■ ■' • ■t'ii-
North Mara was largely settled
by lligldanders' from the Western
Islands of Scotland and from
Glengarry in Eastern Ontario. The
majority of the settlers were Ro-'
man Catholics.
Murdock Johnston and George
Thompson, elders of the Kirk, ren-
dered most important service to
their co-religionists by holding ser-
vices in Gaelic and English and im-
proving their part of the Township
in the m.atter of education as well
as morals. They received much
assistance also from the Rev. Dr.
McTavish of Beaverton.
The first settler was Patrick
Corrigan, 1823. The second settler
was. Arthur Kelly, 1827. He died at
the age of 106.
By 1839 the population was 112.
Amongst the householders were
included the Bruces, Hugh and
Robert, the Gilchrists, Donald and
William; Michael, John and James
Graham, Angus Kennedy, Angus
P. and several other McDonalds.
Donald, John and Finlay McRae,
James Ritchie, William and C.
Simpson. Robert Waddle, whose
daughter, Jeanette, was the first
white child born in the township.
David Morrow and Altex. McGregor

There followed a large influx of
Irish and Stotch Roman Catholics
including the families of McDonagh,
McDermot, Doyle, O'Boyle, Flinn,
Harahay, Duffy, McNulty, Mc-
Grath, McLennan and, Foley,
The Township of Mara and Rama
were united until 1869. They, were
represented in the First Home Dis-
trict -Council by A. McRae.
Michael McDonagh, of Point Mara
for several years succeeded him in
that office riding on horseback all
the way to Toronto. Hfe Was ap
intelligent, warm-heartd whole-
souled Irishman.
Thomas McDermot represented
the united townships in the first
County Council of Ontario and op-
posed the railway through the
County.
D. G. Hewet for many years was
his successor. He was warden in
1858.
Alex. Kennedy, another Atherley -
man followed him. He built the
steam grist mill at Atherley.
Philip McRae a descendant of one
of the early settlers was warden m
1874,

ate School of Brechin.
F. J. Gillespie, Timothy O'Leary
and William Broomfield, leading
men of a later date, each have fill-
ed various offices of public trust in
the township. Each of them has
been warden.
What was supposed to be the
poor Township of Mara has by the
perseverance and skill of its people
been converted into one of the
most thriving and prosperous
townships in the Province-, with
good roads, good fences, well tilled
farms and good railway comm,uni-
cation.
The Townships of Thorah, Mara
and Rama, formed the seventeenth
"Court of Requests" Division in the
Home District. William Gibbs, L.
McLean, Cameron, Major Kenneth
Cameron, Francis Osborne and
Michael McDonagh, Esquires, were
thi- commissioners in 1838, and
discharged about the, same duties
as to the collection of small debts
as the Division Court Judges now
perform.
The pioneers of Mara were strong
and hardy people— many of them
lived to great age. Mrs. Christina
Campbell, widow of Duncan Cainp-
bell was one of a group of Mara's
centenarians. She came from Isla,
Scotland, jn 1847, a widow, and
brought a large family. The
late Rev. Dr. McTavish on coming
to Canada sought oiit his old
friends, the Campbells.
Duncan Graham, a descendant of
one of the early settlers has filled
the office of warden and represent-
ed North Ontario in the Dominion
House of Parliament.
Peter Thompson, who frequently
represented the Township in the
County Council, is one of the
worthy descendants of a sturdy-
pioneer family.
D. G. H^wit formerly warden o£
the county and for many years
reeve of the Townships of Mara and
Rama, was an early settler; He
lived near Atherley.

HISTORY OF THE
TOWNSHIP OF RAMA.
Population, I850, 8 whites, 500
Indians.
.Assessment, 1904, |i9o,936.
Population, 1904, 1,239.
This is the most northern o'f the
townships of the county. The Laur-
entian range of rocks, the oldest
kniown range -of rocks! passes
through the northern part of this
township.
Its settlement began in 1836
when Capt.; Garnet settled -there.
His daughter married James Mc-
pherson, son of Capt. Allan . Mc-
Pljefson, the. secqnd settler in the
township. C^pt. . Garnet had serv-"
ed as a .lieutenant ,, in the ,82nd
Regiment in, Spain under Welling-
ton.. He died 1866, aged 80 years..
About the same time Capts. Allan
McPherson, of His Majesty's Si-
ciliBflii Regijnient; > Capts. Pass,
Ropke, Cottinger and Yarnold', and
Mr. John McKinnon settled in the
front range near lyongford, which
was thfe centre of the first settle-
ment.
In 1839 Capt. Allan McPherson
petitioned the Government to open
a road to Orillia. He was success-
ful. A post office was opened be-
tween 1840 and 1847 and was
known as the Rama post office. -
This township is bounded on the
west by Lake Couchiching, the In;
dian name meaning "The lake ol
many winds." »
The first white male child born
in the township was Mr. Allan Mc-
Pherson, the energetic and prosper-
ous miller and quarryman.
The first female child born in the
township was his sister,' Mrs. Jane
Adams. The father was James
McPherson, Esq., for many years
reeve of the township and was
warden of the County in i88o.
There was formerly an Indian
\'illage, 'where Orillia now stands.
The Indians were removed to
Rama in 1838. They are Chippe-
was and Potawotamies.'
The first church was the Indian
mission church on the Indian Re-
serve, a log building which is still
standing but not now in use. The
first store in the township was
kept by Peter Jkcobs, an Indian,
near the site of the Indian church.
This Peter Jacobs was a fairly
well educated man and possessed
much ability, particularly as an
interpreter and public speaker. He
acted as interpreter for the mis-
sionaries both here and in other
parts of Canada. He was present-
ed to the Queen in London and ad-
dressed the Methodist annual mis-
sion meeting at Exeter Hall in
London on two occasions.
I'he first mill in the township
Was Trenouth's saw mill, establish-
ed about the year 1867, upon the
Black River. The Longford Lum-
ber Co.'s large mills were started
about 1870. John ThcHnpson, and
COU>rTY Ot ONTARIO.
6i
afterwards his sons, George and
William Thompson carried on these
mills with great success.
The manufacture of lime and
chemical products is one of Rama's
largest interests.
Rama was formerly united to
ilara ,and while so united Squire
James McPherson was reeve of the
united towjiships for . fourteen
years. Mr. Allan McPherson now
carries on a large business in
quarrying and cutting limestone
blocks for building.
In 1837 the Indians volunteered
to aid in the suppression of the re- '
bellion and Squire McPherson was
one of those in command of them.
His father-in-law, Captain Garnet,
an able othcer, represented the
townships of Mara and Rama in
the Home District Council. Capt.
Allan McPherson was an officer in
the 78th Highlanders and received
his commission for special bravery
at the battle of Maidar. He served
in the army for 20 years. He died
at Orillia in 1858, aged 86 years.
When the Indians were removed
from Orillia to Rama the McPher-
sons and the Garnets were th^ only
white fa.milies living in the town-
ship.
The first township meeting in the
township after the , paSssing of the
Municipal Act, was held in 1869^
It was held at Thomas Lawrence's
Inn on lot 12, Front Range. It re-
cords the election of Thomas Mc-
Dermott, reeve; Messrs.- Jno. M.
Trenouth, Patrick Mahoney, James
Tahaney and William McPenaild as
councilmen. Dennis O'Brien was ap-
pointed as clerk, Duncan McKinnon
assessor and Michael, McNulty. coV
lector and Edward Lawrence as
treasurer. *
The second meeting, of the coun-
cil, was held at the Rama schoolr
house, but the' record shows that
it adjourned at noon for one hour
to meet afterwards at the, Travel-
ler's Rest. The clerk parentheti-
cally remarks that the "old boys
found the school a dry sort ol a
ilace."
The reeves since .liave, been
James McDermott, James Mc-
Pherson, W. J. Trenouth, George
Cleavely, .Tohn Carrie, and-
John Adams, a son-in-law of
Sqjuire McPherson, to whose en-
ergy and tact the building of some
of the largest bridges in the town-
ship is due. The township is tra-
versed by large streams which ren-
der road making difficult. These
difficulties are aggravated by the
fact that the best land of (the town-
ship belongs to the Indian reserva-
tion and is not , liable for taxes.
The removal of the pine timbier led
to a decrease of the population
and the peopl", liable to assist in
road building.

HISTORY OF THE
TOWN OF WHITBY.
Thi? town was incorporated as
such, in 1855, by a special Act
of Parliamett. In view of its incor-
poration as a town on account of
tlic location of the County Build-
ings there and in view of the pros-
ptisity which prevailed during these
Russian war times, more land was
included within the Corporation
limits than was necessary or per-
haps advisable. The proclamation
setting aside the County from York
and Peel was dated the 30th De-
cember, 1853.
Much of the early history of the
town is included in the history of
the Township of Whitby. One of
the principal causes of its develop-
ment and growth was the building
of the harbour, which was so coi<-
structed that its natural capabili-
ties were so improved as to make
it one of the best harbours of re-
fuge on the north shore of Ivake
Ontario; also connected with this
was the building of a plank roatd
extending from Whitby to Port
Perry. During the period of incor-
p6rati'on of Whitby, the Grand
Trunk Railway was in course of
construction. Wheat sold at $2 per
bushel, property was sold for town
lots at higher figures than were
ever afterwards realized, there are
large and commodious warehouses
and elevators at the harbour be-
longing to ,the Whitby Harbour
Company and Mr. John Watson.
The Whitby harbour and road
were sold to a company with
James Rowe, (first mayor of Whit-
by). John Welsh, John Watson, the
Perrys and Christopher McDermott
as principal' shareholders. The coin-
pany having failed to make .their
payments to the Governi^ent about
the year 1861, the Government
took possession of the Harbour and
the plank road and subsequently
sold them to a company or com-
panies in which Chester Draper,:
, Joseph Gould, and members of t)ie
Gould family were the ■ principal
stockholders. The road was re-
markably well built but owing to
the completion of the railway to
Port Perry and the Port Hope and
Beaverton road- and the Northern
Road to Athetley the traffic was
greatly reduced.
The owners of the road being in-
terested in the railway and the
harbour, agreed that if the Town
of Whitby would give an addition-
al bonus of S20,ooo, to aid in ex-
tending the railway from Port
Perry to Lindsay, the company -
would abandon the road as a toll
road to the municipalities through
which it passed. The bonus was
g-J anted and the toll road was ab-
andoned.
In early times the most of the
b^isiness of the tpwn was transact-
ed at Hamar's Corners on the
Kingston Road, one mile from the
centre of the town. The place was
named after John Hamax— known
as "John Bull." At this point was
the post oflBice, which served the
Township of Pickering, the present
townships of Whitby and East
Whitby and the towns of Whitby
COUNTY OF ONTARIO.
63
anil Oshawa. The Warren Brothers,
J. B. and William, kept the post
office and store there. James Wal-
lace, for some time a leading man
in the Town of Whitby, carried on
a general store and blacksmith
shop there. One Demott, had an
axe factory, William Till, father of
William. Till, cabinet maker, carried
on that business at East Windsor,
as it was then called. There were
two hotels there then. In 1837
tropps were quartered in the Spur-
ril! house until the putting down
of the McKenzie rebellion. John
Spurrill was for many years a ser-
geant in the British army. This
house" was built and occupied by
Peter Nichpl as a store. Ross
Johnston, Deputy Registrar carried
on a general store in the brick
building known as the Emerald
House. Wm. Anderson, a son-in-
law of Spurrell, kept this stpre al-
so. It .Was put up in a lottery and
changed hands.
With the building of the harbour
extensive stores were opened at
Port Whitby, then called Windsor
Bay, and carried on by Rowe and
Cotton, John Martin,- Welsh and
La.wder; James Pringle, Thotnas ■
Knox and one Harrison, Robett
Bailey, James Bailey, James Bates,
Ricba^rd Snow in succession carried
on an extensive bakery business.
Hotels were numerous, Salsbury's
large three storey brick hotel was
the first building of its kind in the
County, William Scott, Captain
James McAllan, Captain Thew,
Archie Hamilton were amongst the
early hotel keepers at the bay.
There were blacksmith, shopmak-
er aiid tailor shops also. About
1836 Peter Perry came up froin
Add^ngtbn County, which he had
for sonie years represented itt the '
Provincial Parliament. He bought
property at the four corners, where
the Kingston ' road intersects Brock
Street on the site where Piringle's
Hardware store and the Oddfellows
Hall now stands, and built a frame
store. It was painted red, and dis-
played in large white letters "Peter
Perry at Home!" His energy and
tact was such as to remove the
business from the Bay and Hamar's
Corners to the four corners, whicb'
were known as "Perry's Corners"
up to the'date of incorpbration.
Extensive, general stores,^ were
carried on in the early days of
Whitby's Ijistory by William Laing,
Thomas Dow, James Wallace, Wil-
Uam Herman, L. H. S.choiield
& Co., Greene McDonald, Robert E.
Perry, Carletpn J<ynde, Abraham
Bryan & Company, T. H. McMil-
lan, R. H. Lawder, yeoman Qib-
son, N. H. Davis, W. Anson
Pringle, Lewis Houck. A general
store in those days was very gen-
eral, , containing ^ stock of dry
goods, groceries, drugs, crockery,
china and glassware, hardw^aye,
flour apd feed, grain and ready-
made, clothing, seeds, boots and
shoes, and often wines and liquors,
In fact everything the, early settlers
needed was sold in them.
Later on came the specializing of
"business so that Hall & Moodie
sold groceries and liquor only,
R. . & J. Campbell, Lowes &
Powell, Laing & Stewart, sold dry
good principally. G. C. Gross and
Hatch & Bro., hardware; Sabine &
64
HiSf (iRV OF THE
ShurtUff an4, William Burns, boots
and shoes; Alexander Pringle and
John JFerguson, ready-mad^ qlotli
ing and gents furnishings; Beall,
books and stationery; J'. H. Ger-
rie, Chas. Bannister, -Doel &. Dickie
drugs mainly. Mr, Dickie sub-
sequently became inspector of Di-
vision Court|S. One Connor,v on the
site of the Watson block kept the
only saloon for the sale of liquors
that ever aflUcted. the county. He
fulrnished, no acconjmodation to the
travelling public. In his adyertise-
ment, upon opening business !\e
called l^is place ''A Desideratum,'
if it ever was "lyong wished for
and welcome," to the people its re-
moval was soon wished for and
much more welcomed by the wives
and mothers of Whitby. With this
saloon and nine or ten hotels a
brewery or two, Clark's up Town
and Nash's at the Bay, a distillery
run by one John Sprbule, a race
course was thought necessary and
one was established on the Lyhde
place, west of Lyiide's Creek. Dur-
ing the mayoralty of J. H. Ger-
rie, the Qtieen's plate was run for
on this covtrse. The Hon. John
Sandfield McDonald, then Premier
of Ontario, was the guest of the
mayor on that occasion. Matters in
a few years so changed that the
race course disappeared and the
perfbtmance which took place there
were about the year 1873 replaced
by, the "Agricultural Horse Trot"
on the fair grounds, and lately
there were only three hotels ,
where eight or nine formerly
carried on bnsihess, It is said that
th»; first liquor sold over a bar in
Whitby east of Lynda's Creek, was
sold by Mr. Jacob Cronk, who af-
terwards removed to Taunton, in
East Whitby, and became a very
strong temperance man. He died
recently at the age of- ninety years.
The house containing this bar,,
was, afterwards kept by Darwi,n
Kent and Moleyneux Hutjton. For
many years it has been occupied
a.s a private dwelling by the late S.
B. Hatch and , Charles Taylor. T.
N. Scripture's brick hotel, on the
corner east of the Gazette office
was a popular hotel in the days of
stage coaching. It had a ball room
which was e;xtensiyely used until
the building of the Mechanics' In-
stitute. This hotel, was subsequent-
ly kept by D. P. Wyatt, well-
known through the country as a
teacher of singing schools. George
Robson, Nathaniel and Ci|i3.rles Ray
afterwards kept this hotel. Cherry
Smith's hotel, was kept in the old
landmark, which occupies the
corner west of the: Dominion Bank,
in later days it was well kept by
J. Black and E. Armstrong. This
was the place where ,in, the early
forties, the old boys did mostly
foregather to "Mak a night," song
and story went round and at times
the. fun was fast and furious." On
the east side of the Brock roa,d,
and north> of Dundas Street, a
large, cpttage was built. It was
suggested to the owner that he;
might as well make it two storeys
'and the second storey, was put on.
Then , obliging friend^, suggested
that while he was about, it he
might make it a three storey, as
the town was bound to grow and
an additional storey was clapped
COUNTY OF ONTARIO.
65
on, and so it came a;bout that Pol-
lard's Hotel, was built.
Before the railways'^ destroyed the
shipping business many more pub-
lic houses were necessary than now,
for example there were fourteen be-
tween Whitby and Port Perry. Dur-
ing the season, A^hen grain was be-
ing delivered there was at daylight
almost every morning a procession
of teams reaching from the har-
bour back to the centre of the
town, awaiting their turn to de-
liver grain. Over thirty vesseFs
have been at one time in the har-
bor for grain or shelter.
aiANUFACTORlES.
The want of waiter power hinder-
ed the establishment of manufac-
turies. The public spirit and energy
of the citizens in endeavoring to
secure their establishmeirt has been
shown by the bonuses granted for
that purpose. For example the
Brown and l^atterson Agricultural
Works, now the Farmers' Co-Oper-
ative Machine Company, the Mudge
& Hardwood Organ Factory, the
Atlas Woolen Mills, the Martin
Saddlery Manufacturing Company,
which recently, under the manage-
ment of Mr. Fred. Hatch, has
doubled its building space and its
business. Liberal exemptions from
taxation have been made to cer-
tain manufacturers. King Bros,
tannery, the successors of Willian)
Burns and Carleton Lynde business,
is an extensive one. It has for
many years been of great value t'.>
the town and tjie buil^ngs have
recently been doubled in size and
greatly improved in appearance.
Major Harper & Son, iron and
woodwdfking machinery factory
has more than a Provincial and
Dominion reiputation. Its machin-
ery is found in every Pro-
vince in the Dominion. In the
early days Ford & Carpenter,
0"Donovan & Walkey's car^riage fac-
tories did a large business, Stephen
Gose's Planing Mill and sash fac-
tory, now carried on by Mr. Rich-
ard Oke, has served the town and
surrounding country well. Nearly
fifty years ago, when plaster was
more used by farmers for enriching
the land, Messrs. Stone and
Gjrainger had a plaster mill at
Port Whitby for grinding up the
rock gypsum into piaster^

Kolden, Sheriff Reynolds, Chesteir
Draper, of Whitby; Messrs James
Dryden, Joseph Bigelow, Sheriff
Thomas Paxton and other citizens
of Port Perry and Whitby and the
|6o,ooo Contributed by his town a
railway was constructed from
Whitby to Port Perry and
then by an additionaj bonus
of . $20,000, the road was ex-
tended to Lindsay and there con-
r.ection was made with the Vic-
toria Railway running through
Fenelon Falls to HaJiburton, and
bv means of a, short line to Black-
water from Manilla Junction con-
nection was made with the Nipis-
sing road running from Toronto to
Balsam Lake and with the Port
Hope, Lindsay and Beverton Rail-
ways to Midland on Lake Huron.
66
HISTORY OF THE
If Chester Draper had lived a rail-
way would probably have been
built from Whitby to Collingwood
for which a charter was obtained.
EDUCATION.
In the matter of providing schools
for primary and higher education,
the people of .Whitby have always
taken a deep interest. The first
school in the town limits was
taught in 1811 by a Miss Cross.
This was probably the first county
school. One of the first Grammar
Schools outside of the cities and
9ldest towns of the Province and
certainly the first in the County,
was established in 1846, through
the public spirit principally of
Messrs Ezra Annes, Samuel Coch-
rane, Peter Perry and J. H. Perry,
The principalis of the Grammar
School have been James Hodgson,
William McCabe, L.L.B.' Arthur
Marling, M.A., Thomas Kirkland,
M.A., afterwards principal of the
Normal School, of Toronto, and
Professor of Chemistry in the To-
ronto Medical School, G. H. Rob-
iason, B.A., t. E. Embree, W. W.
Tamblyn, Master of Arts, Dr.
.Tohn Waugh, and George H.
Hogarth, B. A. "Their principalship
covers the times when it was
either the Whitby Grammar
School, the Ontario County Gram-
mar School, the Senior County
Grammar School, the High School
or the Whitby Collegiate Institute.
During the principalships of Messrs.
Hodgson and McCabe there was
but one teacher and lately there
have been five masters, each with
specialist standing in one of the fwe
great departments of the institute
work.
MODEL SCHOOL.
One of the two county mods!
schools is situate in Whitby and
has always been taught by its able
and experienced principal, Mr.
James Brown, who has had charge
of the Henry and Dundas Street
Schools. A large number of suc-
cessful teachers have been trained
in the Whitby Model School.
Graduates of the old Grammar
School have attained seats in the
Local and Dominion Parliaments
and lately Mr. T. Hamar Green-
wood won a seat in the Imperial
Parliament for the City of York.
The Hon. John Drydeii, Minister ,
of Agriculture for many years and
Lieut.-Gpv. Daniel H. McMillan, of
Manitoba. James Holden and W.
E. Wolfenden and James Wallace,
who have attained leading posi-
tions as executive officers of the
great railway corporations, are
graduates also.
ONTARIO LADIES' COLLEGE.
In 1872, through' the energetic
action of the Rev. J. E. Sander-
son, steps were taken for the par-
pose of purchasing Trafalgar
Castle, then the residence of the
late Sheriff N. G^ Reynolds for the
purpose of establishing therein i
Xadies' College. The active pro-
moters who associate'd themselves
with him and made the purchase oi
the building were Messrs. James
Holden, Walter Couthard, (atter-
Wardp Warden gf the Cotinty), ^,
COUNTY OF ONTARIO.

S. M. Wilcox, G. Y. Smith, John
Rice, J.^ L. Smith, ex-Warden,
Richard Hatch, Joshua Richard-
son, William. Blair, H. B. Tayior
J. B. Powell and Aaron Ross.
There have been two periods at
which the original building has
bten largely extended, first the
building of Ryerson Hall to the
north, second the Frances IVTassey
addition largely aided, by the gift
of Miss Frances Massey. There ha.<!
been a constant improvement in the
attendance, teaching stafi, curricu-
lum and work of the college and its
equipment.
Pupils from the different and dis-
tant Provinces and' states of the
American Union, Mexico and West
Irdies, have been attracted to it.
Itfi success was largely due to the
work of Rev. Dr. Hare, who has
been principal since its establish-
ment. He was for many years ably
assisted by Mrs. Hare, Miss Burk-
holder has for some years been
lady principal.
There has been expended on the
b'.tildings, including the additions
above mentioned, and upon the
equipment of the college $175,000.
Amongst the early teachers of the
Common Schools of Whitby, were
the Rev. Dr. Ormiston, Robert
Milne, who taught at the Bay, O.
Y. Smith, now judge of the Surro-
gate Court, Ross Johnston, Deputy
Registrar, J. H. Greenwood, Miss
Alice Hickey, John Dundas, Chas.
Bannister.
J, K, Gordon, barriester, re-
counts thkt while living with his
father at "Bayside,". there was a
spelling match when Orjniston's
Perry Cornerers came down to
beat Milne's Bay puuils. Tte Orm-
iston pupils were defeated.
The Catholic Separate School.
J. J. Murphy was one of the first
teachers. This school has been
steadily improving under the man-
agement of its tactful and indus-
trions teacher Miss Lillie Droogan
its pupils have succeeded in carry--
ing of the county scholarship
more than once.
Whitby has had a gopd public li-
brary for the last sixty-fiVe
years. It was carried on first by
th.' Whitby Library Association
tlis Mechanics Institute and under
the Public Library Act. Late Hugh
Fraser was Librarian for many
years, and his daughter. Miss Hary
Fraser, succeeded and is now li-
brarian.
CUSTOMS OFFICE.
One of the earliest customs offi-
cers was Dr. Henry Boys, father of
Judge Boys, of the County of Sim-
coe. He was an Army Surgeon in
Portugal under the Duke of Welling-
ton. He was succeeded by WUliam
Dow, brother of Thomas and John
Dow, then William Warren, (one
of the four Irishmen), Dr. G- A.
Carson, and Mr. J. R. Philip.
CHURCHES.
One of the oldest in the town is
the St. Jcihn Episcopal Chnrch *t
68
HISTORY OF THE
Port Whitby. It is a stone building,
built by J. C. Stirling, afterwards
a iWell known hotelkeeper and auc-
tioner of Greenwood. The Rev.
John PentlaAd, B.A., a genial warm
hearted Irishman, was one of the
first clergyman in charge. The Rev.
V. P. Meyerhoffer, who had been a
Roman Catholic Chaplain in Napo-
leon's armies, frequently preached
in this church. The Rev. Professor
Bevin, of Toronto University, was
one of the plergymen in charge of
this church. It is claimed that St.
Paul's Episcopal ,Church, west of
Columbus, of which Rev. Mr. Pent-
land was in charge, was the first
(Episcopal) church in the county.
It had a greater member-
ship than the Oshawa or
Whitby Chiirch. It was built in
1836. The Old Kirk on the Kings-
ton Road, near Starr's Hill, was
for. many years a landmark. Mem-
bers of this church drove or walk-
ed long distances from Pickering,
Reach and East Whitby to attend
it The Rev. Mr. Lambie was
ajniougst the early ministers.
After the building of St. An-
drew's Church in the town the
old wooden building was torn
down. The Rev. Kenneth McLenitan
and Rev. Joshua Fraser were min-
isters of St. Andrew's Church.
Some of our old residents remem.-
ber these church-goers walking bare-
footed, carrying their shoes till
they reached the church — when they
put on the shoes and after service
walked home barefooted.
The Old Free Church, on Brock
Street, near the foundry was for
two OV three years tised as a meet-
in;r place for the County Council.
After the building of the Mechanics'
Institute on Byron Street, services
were held there. The Rev. Dr.
Thornton and Rev. Mr. Lowrie and
James vScott were ministers. Sub-
sequently the Presbyterian Churcli
services were held in the present
Baptist Church. The Rev. Dr, Bal-
lantyne and Rev. Dr. Abraham
then a student were in charge of
this church until the Union with
St. Andrew's.
THE CONGREGATIONAL
CHURCH.
On the west side of Byron St.,
was a wooden buildiu"- with a tow-
er, in which was hung the first
church bell in the county, probab-
ly. It is now hung in ^he tower of
the Ontario Ladies' College. The
Rev. Mr. Finlay, Professor Geikie,
Rev. J. T. Byrne and Rev. Mr.
Miller were ministers of this
church.
ALL SAINTS'.
Rev. Canon Cayley was the first
rector and its chime of bells was
probEvbly the first placed in a
church Qutside of the cities in this
part of the province. The Rev. A.
J. Fidler, Rev. Mr. Cole, Rev. A.
J. Broughall, and the Rev. A.
H. Wright have been rectors
of this church. Mr. Wright was
for many years a missionary in the
North-West Territories. He was
present at the battle of Duck Lake,
the first battle in the Riel's second
North-West rebellion and officiated
at the funerals of the Mounted Po-
lice and soldiers who were killed.

St. Andrew's Church is the suc-
cessor of the Old Kirk on the hill.
Since the Presbyterian Union, it
has been used by the two congre-
gations. The Rev. John Abra-
hams, D.D., has been the minister
in charge for twenty-nine years.
His ability, industry and earnest-
ness in every good work have been
of great value to the town and
surrounding country.
The Baptist Church, was origin-
ally located on the Ivick Farm, on
the south side of the Kingston
Road. The early town meetings for
the Townships of Whitby and East
Whitby and for the towns of Whit-
by and Oshawa were held there for
many years. A large frame church
of the Orthodox style of architec-
ture, formerly prevailing in this
country, was built on the street in
front of the Ladies' College
grounds. The Rev. John Gerrie,
Lucal Superintendent of Schools for
many years was the pastor in
charge of this church ^ in its
early history. , On the union of the
twc Presbyterian churches the
Baptists secured the building on
Centre Street, formerly occupied by
the United Presbyterians.
THE METHODIST CHURCH.
Services were for a long time
held in the Free Church, the Pres-
byterians usinV it in the mimings
and the Methodists in the after-
noon. A large brick building was
erected on Mary Street and used
until after the establishment of the
Ladies' College, when the present
Tabernacle was built. It haS a
fine auditorium and excellent school
room.
THE ROMAN CATHOLIC
The present neat building of this
denomination was built after a dis-
astrous fire which destroyed their
first church.
For comfort neat decoration and
appointments there are few towns
or villages in the province which
can compare with the chiirches of
thf Town of Whitby.
OLD SETTLERS.
John Shier, P.L.S., was one of
the first land surveyors in the
southern part of the county. He
wafi county engineer and county
clerk for many years. Arthur W. '
Keddie, C.E., M. Whitelaw and W.
O. Johnston, now holding import-
ant positions as engineers and
architects in 'the United States,
were some of his pupils. Benjamin
Yarnold, formerly town treasurer
was in his early days a naval offi-
cer and saw much active service in
the British Navy. His s«m, W. E.
Yarnold, P.L.S., of Port Perry, is
the county surveyor.
The county buildings were prin-
cipally erected in 1853. Messrs
Cumberland and Storm being the
architects and' 'James Wallace, con-
tractor. They consist of the County
Court House, the court rooms and
county offices and adjoining this
the county jail. The buildings are
substantial and convenient. The
style of architecture is in keeping
70
HISTORY OF THE
with the purposes for which they
were built. Some years after, a
safe and commodious registry of-
fice, of neat design was built to
the north of the court house. These
buildings are located upon I he
highest ground in the town, arc
supplied with water from the Whit-
by Water Works system and light-
' ed by electricity from the town
electric light plant. , They are well
heated by steam.
The County Armory for the 34th
Regiment, on Dundas Street, near
th« centre of the town, is well suit-
ed for the purpose.
THE HOUSE OF REFUGE.
This is a well built and well
equipped building located upon a
fine site in the north west part of
the town. With it is connected the
county farm and about fifty acres
of excellent and well cultivjilfl
land. The Refuge and farm are un-
der the able and efficient care of
Mr. J. F. I,avery, as superinten-
dent, and Mr. A. E. Christian, in-
spector. The Refuge was establish-
ed by the County Council, volun-
tarily before the recent act, which
requires all counties to build and,
maintain homes for the poor and
friendless. That this was done is
due largely to the generous action
of two public spirited and human
hearted Irish Canadians, Messrs.
John and William F. Cowan, the
able and enterprising financiers and
manufacturers of Oshawa. The ad-
visability of establishing a County
House of Refuge and Farm was dis-
cussed by the council as early as
,1857. Special committee after com-
mittee had been appointed from
that time to consider the question,
Much thought and investigation
had been given to it, There was an
abundance of eloquence and resolu-
tions in favor of the plan generally
but no action, until Mr. John Cow-
an addressed a letter to the coun-
cil, offering to contribute S5,ooo
and Mr. William F. Cowan, his bro-
ther offered to grant the council
forty-five acres of land in Oshawa
as a site for the Home and Farm.
The people of Port Perry then of-
fered l5,ooo to aid the county in
building, if thq Refuge was estab-
lished there. Finally the council de-
cided that it was advisable to go
oa with the work and locate the
institution where it could be under
the supervision of the County
Council, Grand .Turies. and easily
visited by county people attending
the courts and county offices at
Whitby. This action has been ap-
picved by successive grand juries
fcrid by hundreds of ratepayers from
all parts qi the county who visit
the Refuge.
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
The town has constructed an ex-
cellent and efficient .system of
water works and electric lighting,
which will shortly be self-sustaining
and which has already been of
great adva.n,tage to manufacturers
and have assured the town from
loss by fire and added to the con-
venience and comfort of the peopie
and which have attracted^ and wiil
attract people to, the town as .a
place for business and residence.

Dr. Robert John Gunn, a Banli-
sliire Scotchman was one of the
earliest physicians in this part of
the country. His practice extended
through Pickering, Reach, Whitby
and East Whitby. He will long be
remembered for his great services
to the cause of education and
religion. He was for many
years connected with the
School Trustee Boards of the
town and was one of the principal
supporters of the Bible Society
from its formation until his death
and was jail surgeon for forty
years.
Dr. W. O. Eastwood is another
old practitioner who has attained
a high position in his pirofession^
Practising here and in 1857 he ^i^as
local superintendent of schools for
Whitby Township. His sons, Wil-
liam F. and John H. Eastwood,
both became able physicians. The
many charitable deeds of Dr. East-
wood and Dr. Gunn in kindly as-
sistance to the poor will not be
forgotten during this and the next
generation.
Dr. Robert Clark, commonly
known as the "Scotch Clark,"
("The English Clark," Dr. Joseph
Clark, lived in Oshawa) was an-
other of the early practitioners.
Tradition speaks of a Dr. Annis,
Dr. R. Chickley and Dr. Peake.
Dr. G. A. Carson practised here
from 1856 until a few years ago. He
represented his branch of the pro-
fession in the Medical Council and
was for some years a Collector of
Customs.
Dr. F. Warren, formerly of Brook-
lin, now of Whitby, is jail surgeon
and he has a very large practice.
His fine residence was occupied at
the time of the rebellion by Col.
Cox. Drs. John and James Moore
succeeded Dr. Warren in Brooklin.
Dr. D.' F. Bogart, surgeon for the,
G.T.R. Company for many years is
another old timer.
Dr. C. A. McGillivray, has been
Surgeon of the House of Refuge
since its establishment.
Dr. P. G. Mefdrum, completes the
list of Town Medical men. AU of
whom have country practice owing
to the healthy situation and sani-
tary condition of Whitby.
Amongst the early legal prac-
titioners were James Armour, Zat-
cheus Burnham, for forty years, '
county judge, W. H. Tremayne,
first County Crown Attorney, W.
H. Billings, son of Francis Billings, f
formerly Treasurer of the Home

to divide the history of Oshawa
into five periods.

1840.
3. Post Office Hamlet, 1840-1850.

5. Town of Clshawa, 1879-1907.
Early Settlement.
The site of the present Town of
Oshawa covers an area' of 2,400
acres, and is generally recognized
upon a county map as occupying
Lots Nos. 7, 8, 9, 10, II, and i2
of concessions one and two. East'
Whitby. As most of this land is
still used for purposes of agricul-
ture it can readily be understood
that it is only the mOre densd:y
populated section that can pre-
tend to play any part in the real
history of the town.
In dealing with the early settle-
ment of Oshawa we wiU confine
our attention to lots Nos. 10 and
II of the 1st and 2nd concessions
of East Whitby, thus taking in the
four tw.o hundred acre farms which
come in close touch with each oth-
er at the main four corners of the
town. Who were the first posses-
sors of this land? and who were
i' their immediate successors? The

When General Simcoe removed
the seat of Government from Nia-
gara to Toronto in 1794, the
Queen's Rangers, a British Regi-
ment of soldiers, were taken along
with him, sLnd in 1798 large sec-
tions of lands throughout the
Home District were ceded to the
various officers and their particu-
lar relatives. In most cases the
possessors of these grants never
considered them of sufficient value
to even visit them let alone attempt
anything in the shape of settlem.ent.
In many cases these lands were
bartered away by the generally
easy-going soldier for a mere song.
In the case of the lands now under
consideration it is seen that they
were first ceded in this very way,
and. in arriving at the earliest set-
tlers we must deal alone with
those who actually lived upon the
land and not with the holders of
the deed. Jabez Lynde, 1813, is
the first name of any probable set-
tler. He built a Jiouse in 1804
at Lynde's Creek, just west
of the Town of Whitby, which
it was claimed was the only
house at that time between
Toronto and P.ort Hope on the
'Kingston road. In 1813 he bought
lot No. II, or Oshawa's N. W.
Ward, and sold it to John Kerr in
18 16. It must be fairly "tendered
to John Kerr that he was the
first bona fide settler in Oshawa.
He had a large family, many of
whom were born before he came to
Oshawa; some were born here.
Many direct descendants still live
in the town and surrounding dis-
trict. Among the pioneer settlers
we meet the following names: Jno.
Kerr, Wm. Kerr, Norris Kerr,
Jno. McGrigor, John Ritson, Ben.
Stone, Annis; Hall, Arkland, Hink-
son, Henry, Ross, Bartlett, Wil-
son, McGill, FareweU.
Industrial Foundation, 1822-1840.
Since the general introduction of
steam power into factories on«
might fairly ask what natural ad-
vantages are possessed by Oshawa
from a manufacturing standpoint,
and firankly the answer would be,
that they are very few indeed.
While this is true of Oshawa to^
day it was not the case in early
days. The num.ber of possible wa-
ter-powers of fair capacity within
a circumscribed area « attracted the
attention of many business men
as far back as 1822. To the origin^
al water-^ower and the impulse it
gavie to business must be attribut-
ed the foundatiion of Industrial
O.shawa. Factories, mills,': distil-
leries, breweries, , carding' mills,
asheries, tanneries, etc., sprang up
along the creek from 1822 to 1S40.
The life history of the; early fac-
tories was circumscribed: to nar-
row limits. A few years of en-

ated in failure, but apparently
from the ruins of small industries
larger ones would arise and these
would liye somewhat longer than
their predecessors. Such seems
ever to have been our history. Tips
and downs have come and gone
but on the wliole the tendency of
Oshawa has ever been towards the
establishment of larger and more
permanent industries to take the
place of those which happened to
be overtaken by misfortune or. dis-
tress.
The appended list of industries
and the date of their inception will
give a fair idea of the foundation
of our industrial history.

Post Office, 1840-1850.
In 1840 the people in this little
hamlet, known all around the coun-
try as Skae's corners, so-called af-
ter Edward -Sfcae, an enterprising
and industrious merchant of the
place, received word from their M.P.
at that time, that the Government
had decided to listen to t;heir re-
quest and to grant them a post
office. It became the duty of the
hamlet to select a name, and night
after night, we are informed by
Mr. Glenney, who was present at
the time, the people interested met
in the parlor of Munroe's Hotel
and before the blaze of the, back
logs in the large open fire place,
they deliberated upon the great
question of a name for the new
post office. In the midst of one of
these conferences. Moody Farewell '
and two or three Indians from
Lake Scugog with whom he had
been engaged in the fur trade,
came into, the room, and by com-
mon consent the Indians were
taken into the confidence of the
council and asked for their opinion
as to a suitable name. They rose
to the occasion and suggested .
"Oshawa," explaining that it
meant that point at the crossing
of the stream where the canoe was
exchanged for the trail. The jiame
was at once accepted and has ever
since been applied to this prosper-
ous and progressive town.
It was during this period that
76
HISTORY OF THE
we have to record the chief events
in the life of J. B. Warren. Al-
though many business men of fair
calibre preceded him in Oshawa,
still, the extent and variety of his
enterppses, the comprehensive
plans designed by him for the fu-
ture, the length of time' from 1837
to 1865 in which he stood forth as
our most substantial industris^l
leader, justly entitles him to be re- ,
garded in the front rank of those
men, past ,and present; whose busi-
ness genius did so much towards
the building up of the Town of
Oshawa. He erected the large mill
at the bridge, which has scarcely
once since 1837 ceased "to grind
the corn to feed the crowd," a tan-
nery, a store, ■ a distillery, an ash-
' ery, an hotel, the laying out of
the N; W. Ward into to-«^n lots,
the building of Prospect Park and
the laying out of its ground's,
which were afterwards developed
by W. H. Gibbs into one of the fin-
est private dwellings in Canada,
are all attributed to the business
ability of J. B. Warren. Among
other business men deserving of re-
cognition throughout this period
are R. Wellington, W. Biambridge,

Village of Oshawa, 1850; to 18719.
As in the period from 1837 to
1850, the history of Oshawa was
very much told in the life of J . B.
Warren, so in the period of its
existence as a village, from 1850 to
1879, the history of Oshawa is al-
most identical with that of the life
of another great man, the Hon. T.
N. GiWbs. True that his father,
Thos. Gibbs in 1829 purchased the
Cleveland mill and the sons, T. N.
and W. H., followed along, thei same
line, but the great incidents of the
life of T. N. Gihjbs and their ,b|Bar-
ings upon the history of Oshawa
have reference to the period of his-
tory now under consideration.
Se was first Warden of the
County in 1854. Born in 1821 at
Terrebone, Que., married Aug.,
1843, was director of Confedera-
tion Life Co., president Dominion
Telegraph Co., president of Stand-
ard Banl^, member of Privy Coun-
cil, June 14th, 1873; Secretary of
State for the Provinces until July
1st, when he was transferred' )tO! the
Inland Revenue Department; first
elected to Parliament in 1865 and
continuously represented ' South
Ontario until ^874, when he was
defeated by Hon. M. Cameron, at
whose death in 1876 Hon. T. N.
Gibbs was again returned; 1878
was defeated by F. W. Glen, and
called ' to the Senate April and,

1880, di-ed in Oshawa 1882. (From
Parliamentary R,esgister, 1878). His
brother, W, H. Gibbs, was Reeve
of Oshawa and the first mayor of
the to'wn. He was also Warden of
the County, and elected to Parlia-
..ment in i872', for N. Ontario, .de-
feated 1874 and rcTdected in 1876,
removed to Toronto in 1882,; and
died there 1903. While in Toronto
be filled the oflSce of alderman.
The members of the -first council
for the Village of Oshawa were T.
N. Gibbs, reeve; J, B. Warren, Si-
las B. Fairbanks, Patrick Wall and
Monroe. . •
The part played by Mr. A. S.
Whiting in the industrial evolution
of Oshawa entitles him to be re-
membered . as one of the town's
greatest benefactors. In 1852 ■ he
organized the Oshawa Manufactur-
ing Co., with a capital stock of
J7'5,ooo, Pres., A. S. Whiting; Sec.
and Treas., W. Abbott; stockhold-
ers, L. Butterfield, T. N. Gibbs, W.
H. Gibbs, A. FareweU, A. M.
Farewell, jr., John Smith, James
Murton, Geo. Gould, J. D. Hoyt,
D. Conant. This company failed
in the crash of 1857 and in 1858
Mr. Whiting succeeded in getting
Mr. Joseph Hall to take hold of
the works and thereon was erected
the great industry that made Osh-
awa known from one end of On-
tario to the other.
In i860 Whiting took a part of
the Hall works to manufjaeture
scythes, and in 1862, being cjroijyd-
ed out of those quarters, he erect-
ed the 6edar Dale Works, and u%
der the firm name of Whiting and
Tattle ceiiiducted those works, al-
ways most sucfcesstully, till his
death in 1876. In 1867 Mr Jno.
Cowan joined Whiting in these
works under the name of Whiting
& Cowan. In this way, and / at
this time, commenced the maniifac-
turing career of John and W. ' F.
Cowan, whose remarkably success-
ful efiorts in these < lilies hkve done
more for; the present proud posi-
tion of Oshawa as an industrial
town than any other single factor
now visible in our, history.
Other gentlemen who held high
positions in the municipal life of
Oshawa village, arid who contri-
buted " much to its successful
growth were Silas B. Fairbanks,
David Spalding, James Carmich-
chael," John Hislop, Geo. H. Grier-
son, Thos. J. Eck, W. D. Michael,
Ed. Morris, W. F. Cowan, Dr. F..

The year 1879 will be ever mem-

as being the date upon which the
village corporation came to an end
and the birth of a new town, took
place. W. H. Gibbs was elected as
the first mayor of the town of Osh-
awa. Dr. Rae was the first de-
puty. Other councillors were W.

Schools and Churches.
The first school of Oshawa was
a small log building in the S. W.
corner of King and Simcoif, taught
by. Miss Hall, in 1829, and after-
wards by A. Masson, who was the
first male teacher. The Union
pchool was built in 1835, a part o!
COUNTY OP ONTARIO.

wMch is used still as the dwelling
house of Royal Grigor McGrigor.
In 1843 a. second school was open-
ed where now stands the dwelling
of R. Wellington. Centre Street
school was built in 1856, and the
ward schools in 1^77*.
Among the early ' testchers were

Younghusband,' A. W. Lawder,
Alex. Begg, Thomas ; Kirkland, af-
terwards Principal Normal School,
Toronto.
The Union schoolhouse from 1835
to 1841 served the double purpose
of academy and cathedral. The
children attended through the week
for instruction and on Sunday all
denominations — Methodists, Quak-
ers, Baptists, Catholics and Chris-
tians, by mutual arrangement as
to time, etc., would meet here in
turn for divine service. In 1841 the
Methodists built a church on the
hill at the head of Nassau St., and
in 1867 removed to the large
church still used by them on Sim-
coe St.
The old Catholic church was also
completed in 1841 upon the same
site as that occupied by the pres-
ent handsome structure, which was
built by Father JefEcott in 1898.
The old Christian church was
erected in 1842 upon the ground
now occupied by the Williams Pi-
ano Factory. The Presbyterians,
under the ministry of the disting-
uished Dr. Thornton, erected a
cbwch upon the grounds where
now stands their beautiful edSfice,
b'uilt in 1899.
The Press.
The first paper published in the
County of Ont3,rio was .the Chris-
tian Luminary oiE Oshawa, ,1844. It
was printed under the auspices of
the Christian church. The Tribune
and Friendly Moralist followel
from the same source in 1850, un-
der the guidance .of Elder Thomas
Henry. The Freeman and Reform'
er were started about the same
time. In 1855 The Freeman merg-
ed injbo The Vindicator and under
this heading it has never missed a
week of publication since that' date.
J. O. Dornan of Whitby published a
paper for a short t;ime. In 1872
The Reformer was established by
W. R. Climmie of Bowmanville and
is still published.

HISTORY OF THE
i In a mere sketch such as we have
here attempted it is impossible to
do justice to all the prominent
characters who come before us for
review, and we hope we do no dis-
credit to any when we give special
attention to a few liames wtich
seem to stand out as the great
moulding factors in the evolution
of the industrial life of Oshawa.
Four generations have almost
passed away since Oshawa started
on its mission to become a great
manufacturing centre. It is a mat-
ter of congratulation that each
period of her existence has been
marked by the possession of one
or two men of remarkable business
abilitj'. And it is to those men,
more than to natural- advatftase,
that We owe any prominence we
may possess as a manufacturing
town. I/Ct us be -fair to the past
and true to the present' by accord-
ing to these' -men the credit to
which they are justly entitled. J.
B. Warren, T. N. Gibbs, W. H.
Gibbs, A. S. Whiting, S. B. Fair-
banks, James Laiiig, Thos. Fuller,
F. W. Glen, John Cowan, W. F.
Cowan, Thomas Dow, Edward
Miall, Wm . McGill, Robert Mc-
Laughlin, Samuel Hall ^d T. H.
McMillan, are names which should
ever be cherished in the memory of
those who take pride in the pros-
perity and progress of the Town of
Oshawa.

li.shed there.
On the incorporation of the vill-
age Joseph Bigelow was elected
reeve; Messrs. John Phillippo, Wil-
liam Tait, Caleb Crandell and
Allan Sexton councillors.
Duncan McKercher was the first
clerk and Henry Gordon the first
treasurer. He was succeeded by Mr.
John Brown, who still holds the
office.
Lieut.-Col. N. F. Paterson was
clerk and solicitor for many years
during his residence there. He was
succeeded by Mr. W. H. Harris,
M.A.
Thife village was known by the
name of Port Perry from about
the year 1850 and was hamed after
Petif Perry, of Whitby, who laid
out the first town plot in the vill-
age. The first settler and owner of
Lot 19 in the 6th concession of
Reach, the present site of Port
Perry, was Elias WiHiams, who
took up the lot about the year
— '—. He subsequently sold these
lands to Peter Perry. The first
general store was opened by Chest-
er Draper about the year 1846; In
this year Messrs. Thomas and Geo.
Paxton and Daniel S. Way built
the first steam saw mill in thies
village. The second was built by
Samuel Hill, of Whitby Township,
in 1847. The third mill was built
by Stephen Doty in the year 1852.
These ' mills did a very large busi-
ness and employed in getting out
logs and in the manftfatcture of
lumber a large number of men.
The first post office was opened '
in 1852 with Josejih Bigelow, Es-
quire, as postmaster.
The steamer "Woodman" was
built by Hugh 'Chisholm for Rowe
and Cotton, of Whitby in 1850 and

in the spring of 1851, Mr. Chis-
hclm being the captain.

ScUgog Island was made by a
ferry boat. In this year the

pjir+i - by .subscription. The County
of Ontario ' subsequently assumed
the bridge as a 'County work and
has expended in all about 125,000
in making a solid roadway. '

Pbrt Perry was the Standard "the
iirst issue of which was August
i6th, 1866. Mr. Edward Mundy,

"Star," and published by Samuel
Farmer,
The Ontario Observer now pub-

Township of Cartwright by the
Cartwrigjit Roadway, the building
of which was largely due to %he
energy, tact and perseverance of
Joseph Bigelow, Esq.
The ; Counties of Ontario, and
Northumberland and Durham have
assumed the bridge which has been
of great benefit to the village of
Port Perry and will doubtless be
an important factor in causing a
union of West Durham with the
County of Ontario. In 1883 and
1884, the. village was nearly de-
stroyed by fite. TKiSotigh the energy
of its people it has been so sub-
stantially and,; well re-bujlt that
there are few vill^iges in the . pro-
vince of its sizfr having more beau-
tiful or commodious places of busi-
ness.
The first common school was es-
tablished in 1847 between Borelia
and Port Perry. The present com-
modious and well Equipped High,
Model and Common school was
built in 1872. Few schools in the
province have made a better re-
cord than the Port Perry High
and Model School under the man-
agement of Principal D. McBride of
the former.
The village lias a flourishing
manufactory of mill machinery,
conducted by M. Williams; flour
and sa)v mills of James Carnegie
harness manufactory of Samuel
Jeffrey.
It has a beautiful site and many
fine residences.
It is provided with water works
aiid electric lighting plants, tht
property of the municipality^
The Jake was well , stocked with
fish, but owing to the lowering, of
tht water, at I<indsay Dam during
the winter of 1904, the fish were
nearly all killed. The lake has since
been re-stocked. Port Perry with
its good hotels, its lake situation
and fine scenery is a. pleasant
