According to Wikipedia , in 1998 the Former Townships of Bedford , Loughborough , Portland , and Storrington were amalgamated into a new Township called South Frontenac in the County of Frontenac north of Kingston Ontario . The original land deeds should still be on file in their registry office . It has been my experience that many of these OC land grants were actually never taken up by the original grantee as many were just not well situated for settling . Hope this helps . Cheers J.
