Wentworth Bygones FROM THE PAPERS AND RECORDS OF THE HEAD-OF-THE-LAKE HISTORICAL SOCIETY HAMILTON, ONTARIO VOL. 1 Walsh Printing Service, Hamilton, Ontario. 1958 By Mabel Burkholder and T. Roy Woodhouse -snip- When Augustus Jones surveyed Barton Township in 1791, [October 25th, 1791] he prepared a map on which he recorded the names of settlers who had already been granted lots prior to his survey. [Note- I have created a separate column to show who owned these lots in 1791. '(Same)' means the name is the same as patentee, and 'none' means there was no settler on the land in 1791. The designation '(first)' shows the lot had another owner between 1791 and the date it was patented. Bill Martin]
