YORK ISSUER Gone or TORONTO.-IH the year 1818, Scotchman named Archibald Mc Vean, emigrated With his family to Canada, and the following year settled on lot. No. 2, con, 7. They were the first white set- rlersin that Township which was then simply a wilderness, only partly survey- ed, and destitute of roads, save the scar- cely perceptible Indian trails. In 1821. the McVeans, commenced the manufacb ore of pearlash, which was continued for about ten years. In the year 1832 they built a saw mill, which. after being run about ten years was abandoned. Three years after the starting of the saw mill their business was increased by the erectâ€" ion of a flour mill, which, about 1842. was sold to Mr. Proudfoot, of Toronto, for many years president of the Bank of Upper Canada. This mill was for a time owned and operated by Mr. Joseph Walker and Mr. John Clark, the former of whome some years later gave .name and origin to the present town of \Valk- ertou. After some time the mill again reverted to Mr. Proudfoot, and in 1850 was destroyed by fire. Mr. McVean and two of his sons, Peter 65 Archibald, at one time owned 700 acres of land, nearly all in a block. Archibald the youngest and only surviving son, now over 78 years of age, owns 100 acres still. He for many years, took an active part in the affairs of the Municipality, and was for 15 years a member of the Township council. In the year 1837 Mr. Thomas Burrell, an Englisman, built a tamiery, and sometime afterwards a distillery also. Both of these long since passed out of exrstence. About1842 Mr. Burrell, purchased 10 acres of lot 12, con. 7, on which he erect- edaflour mill, but the water proving insuflicent, a new mill, 2.} storeys high, with two run of stones, was built- on lot 11, 100 acres, which Mr. Burrell had purchased. The former mill stood on a small stream; the latter stands below where this stream has joined another, yet in low water, steam power has to be employed. Tlns will now belongs to Mr. Christopher Burrell, a. son of Mr. Thomas Burrell, it is still in operation, chiefly doing custom work, and growing in pub- lic favor. Mr. Burrell also ran a carding mill which proved quite an acquisition to the surrounding neighborhood during its continuance. On lot 27, con. 7 a Mr. Foster, had a saw mill which was in operated for several years. It ldig since became a thing of the past. Some account of the Early Settlement and Industries on the West Branch. By William Watson, Esq. Weston. ETOUIUOKB.~â€"F0ll()wing up the XV‘est Branch from its entrance into the Hum- her, the first object of intrest was a. log school-house, standing a few rods north- west from where the Albion road- crosses the stream. This school was probably commenced as early as 1810, and con- tinued until a year or so previous to the opening of the “Martin hemlock-log school,” mentioned in paper No. 4. Mr. John C. Devins, a member of this So- ciety, now in his 76th year, attended this school when about five years of age. Seine thirty-five years ago Mr- \Villiam Gruhb, on whose land the school-house stood, ploughed over the sight, thus obliterating all trace of what may very justly he termed one of the pioneer schools of the Country. It was some years anterior to the school in \Veston. About the year 183:3 Mr. Grunh, seu., built a distillery a little south of the schoolâ€"house, which some years utter was leased to a Mr. Eennet, who converted it into a brewery. The business was rinally abandoned about the year 1845. In 1819 Mr. John McVean became the owner of lot 31. con. A, 100 acres, on which he started it distillery the following year in a small log building. The business was managed by an old Scolchnmn named Reid. In the year 1832 Messrs. Edward and Thomas Musson erected a saw mill, a few rods above the distillery, in which Mr. hIeVenn had an interest. This mill was in operation some eighteen or twenty years. Every vestige of both distillery and saw will long since disappeared. The farm now belongs to Mr. Andrew Barber. A shoxt distance from here, on the allowance of road near where thllet creek enters the \Vest Branch is a mound called “hog‘s back,” about one hundred feet long by thirty broad at the base. It is nearly as high as the surrounding hills, nnd from appearance equally as old. As to how or when this mound was formed I venture no opinion. CHINGU‘ACOUSY. â€"In the year 1831 Mr. Samuel Stanley, started a flour mill, ()1) lot 13, con. C. built of logs, which was :1 great Convenience to the early settlers. After some time M r. Stanley sold out to a. Mr. Pearen, and e few years later the property was purchased by Mr. \Villium Alderson. The mill was soon after destyuved by fire. when Mr. Anderson, erected a much larger one (frame) 2% storey high, with two run of stones. This is the last will on the stream, and And Its Tributaries} THE HHMBEB Non-Essentials, Liberty ; in all things, Charity.” \Vere all re-erection included the number of saw mills would considerably exceed a hundred. There were also six tanneries, two still in operation, mill for grinding bones,one pot-ash and one pearl- ash business, a barley mill, an oat mill, a plaster mill, and a Government dock at the head of still water near Humber Mouth. Then and now. In my boyhood the waters of Jhe Humber was so pure and clear as to be extensively used for dom- estic purposes. Now it is most of the time quite turbid in appearance, especial- ly above the location of the mill dam. A recent traveller when here some year or two ago, compared the water of the Humber, in the neighborhood of Weston to that of the famed and historical “Yel- low Tiber.” Where mill dams are not numerous the water is still comparatively clear. Among the early settlers there was a legend to the effect, that those who had once drank of the water of the Hum- ber, (no matter how far they might wander from it in their journeyiugs through life,) would be sure to return and drink once more ere departing to that country “from whence no traveller returns.” To an old colored man named Morgan, generally called “King of the Humber,” who many years ago ressded near Lambton, is given the credit of having thus charmed the water of the Humber. That Morgan lived near Lamb- tou; that he was called king of the Hum- ber, and also that his wife; called queen. was drowned in a wash-tub,are facts well known to several persons still living. But for the legend the reader must think for himself. SUMMARY.
