Appendix


In 1869, the survivors of the early occupants of York, Upper Canada,

formed themselves into a Society entitled The Pioneers, for the joint

purpose of mutual conference, and of gathering together and preserving

whatever memorials of the local Past might be found to be yet extant.

The names of the members of this Association are subjoined, all of whom

were resident at York customably or occasionally, at some period prior

to March 6th, 1834, when the name of the town was changed to Toronto.

The date which precedes each group shows the year in which the members

included in the group became identified with York, whether by birth or

otherwise. In numerous instances, the father of the individual named in

the following list, having been the establisher of a family in these

parts and its first breadwinner here, was the true pioneer. (By a change

in the original constitution of the Society, the sons and descendants of

the first members of the Association, and of all the first grantees or

occupants of land in the county of York, as defined in 1798, are, on

their attaining the age of 40 years, eligible to be members.)
