Good Day Again In the near future I am going to visit the Grey County Archieves, in search of testimonials relating to the free land grants, regarding my pioneer ancestors the McCormicks. Our McCormicks lived around the Rocky Community area, just north of the town of Durham. I have read that in these types of testimonials, that family members, friends, and the settlers themselves who were acquiring the free land grants, wrote or spoke about the person getting the free land grant.If someone could not write, the information I presume would be written down for that person, in support of the person acquiring the free land grant. I would suspect that these testimonials could be huge in meaning, with regards to potential information regarding other family member's names, and information about the person acquiring the free land grant. Is there anything that anyone could tell me that would be helpful about searching for these testimonials, or other potential information about them? Sandy

Hi Sandy Did you get any replies regarding your request? These testimonials sound like they could be very helpful - it would be interesting to know more about them. ( I wish I had known about the existence of these testimonials last week - I just returned from a trip east and was in the Hanover/Durham area searching for information on my McMahons - might have found out more about William!)
