Ben Case letter of August to reply ana try to straighten the matter out Don make any mistake Ben was and Is a good friend of mine and his only fault Is his misfortune rut his fault He was not born and brought up in the Township of Esauestng The unreason in his letter stems not from him but from his authorities or rather them I apologize for not answering his letter sooner but I was away at the time it was published and did not see it for a month then had to check some sources of information of my own to be sure that my memory was still all right The letter from the Secretary of the Lieutenant Governor setting out that the names of the three Townships should be Nassagaweya and Chlnguacousy being the Indian names of the principal streams in each Township Is quite all right and was followed exactly but the late Surveyor General list of the streams between the Niagara River and the Number is sadly Lacking and his In terpretatlon of some of them makes one remember that at that time whisky was sold for a York Shilling a gallon The Surveyor General listed Eight Streams including the Niagara and the Humber whereas there were arid are Eleven large streams and several smaller ones in that dUtance as listed below Niagara River Mile Creek Stoney Creek Spencer Creek Grindstone Creek 12 MJIe Creek 16 Mile Creek Credit River Creek Creek River besides a Mile Creek and Sulpher Creek The Surveyor General also says the Indian name of Mile Creek was and gives its meaning as Last Out Creek last out from where asl read the list it is right in the middle having streams on either side further more as I will show later on was named after the 12 Mile Creek Just as the Lieutenant Governor directed The Governor directed that the three Townships be named with the Indian names of the pal streams In each Township and It would hardly be fair to give the name of Esqueslng and call Esqueslng because while there is a small tributary of the Sixteen which rises In there is not so much as a drainage ditch in which runs into the 13 Mile Creek We have water which flows into both the Credit and Grand Rivers but none into the 12 Mile Creek There was nothing more likely than that the Indians named the streams after he lands through which they flowed and later I adduce further evidence on that point was the Dividing of the Waters or the water flowed two ways into the Grand and Lake Erie and Into the 12 Mile Creek and Lake Ontario was the land of the Tall Pines from the AeW This week our friend hat Plecei of Hot Chicken a Family Pack of French Fries and of Cola Slaw a ileal af Phone 8778151 FREE Home Delivery ITS A GOOD IDEA enormous yellow pines which covered much of the Township and they were enormous I personally never saw one growing but I saw a dead one that had lain the ground for hove a picture of some dozen or so of the last that were on the farm and the hardwood bush below look like underbrush the tops of what we would today call big trees did not come near the lowest limbs on pines The stumps of the original pines were only stumps which could be used to make a fence and there are still some stump fences remaining in I myself remember seeing two fields being stumped the one on the West Half of Lot 22 Concession presently owned by the Esatepf George Currie was stumped with a screw machine a tripod of heaver timbers with a steel screw about inches in diameter turned by a team at end of a long arm and with a swivel and heavy chain which was attached to the stump to be pulled The other field was in the EastHalfofLotao Concessions the present Moore Park Sub division late Alex Livingstone with a rope and block machine which worked much more quickly than the Myauwomytor the Township names come principally from three men all of whom were raised In the vicinity and well before the rebellion of George Black a son of Hugh Black who surveyed the Township of Esqueslng James Leslie who was raised on the line West Chlnguacousy and my own Grandfather who though born In Scotland came to Esqueslng in All three told the same story meant the dividing of the Waters of between the two streams Esqueslng meant The Land of the Tall Pines and Chlnguacousy meant The flat Plains or The nay Plains continued on Page 4 INCOME TAX PREPARATION I I Thovundt preparer Euro- I open to men and women f I eon ii d Send Mr I Ire Informal on and HURRY Start is ft
