First Settlers on Lots 1-13 of Concessions VIII and IX

The concession road ran between these two concessions (south part of 9 and north part of 8). The river was located to the East at about lot 13.

"Register of Free Grants under the Free Grant and Homestead Act of 1868

Macaulay was surveyed by John Ryan in 1857 and offered for location in 1861. Lots settled between 1861 and 1868 are not in this (Martin's) list, nor are any lots not settled under this Act."

However, I have taken lots 2 and 3 from the 1878 Atlas of Muskoka. Please note - there is no Lot 1 in Macaulay Twp.
