Anmerkungen

Abel Land, eldest of the sons who came to Canada, married Lois Cooley in 1811 and was the father of five children. He built a wharf at the Bay front on his lot east of Wellington Street. It was approached by a road called Land's Lane, which skirted the east side of a long inlet. Besides farming he carried on ashipping business, using heavy pioneer boats called batteaux which passed through the Bay's natural outlet to Lake Ontario, for the canal was not builtuntil 1832. Until the Bay front was filled in north of Burlington Street in 1930, remnant piles could be seen running far out into the water.

His son, Abel II, had the north part of the lot, east of Wentworth Street, and his homestead stood where the International Harvester Twine Mill now is. Land Street, between Wentworth and Hillyard Streets; reminds one of the first owners.
