Hello John, I use the following site. www.waynecook.com/zessa.html Regards, Richard ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Ausman" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, August 09, 2009 9:55 AM Subject: [CAN-ONT-SIMCOE] Essa Township Hello folks: I just joined this list and am wondering if anyone is familiar with early pioneers in Essa. I am researching the (Alexander, then John) Stewart family that settled on Concession 10 Lot 2. Would anyone know when that area was first settled? I found no land petitions for a Stewart in Essa Twp in the Land records at the National Archives. Does this mean that at some point people just bought land without petitioning the colonial govermnment for it?

Thanks Richard. Interesting, but unfortunately no mention of my Stewart.
