The map is indeed signed "Sam S. Wilmot". The middle initial is a script-S, and matches the "S" in "Sam." Because the image is cropped through the bottom of the signature, the full letter is not visible, and it looks a bit like an "L" -- but it is an "S".
Ron is correct. This land survey was made by Samuel Street Wilmot, a Deputy Provincial Surveyor (1774-1856). I found this information from a book called 'Oakville and The Sixteen: The History an Ontario Port' by Hazel C. Mathews. She is a decendant of an Oakville pioneer family.
It is so nice when doing research that you can type in a title and you immediately get what you want! Good for you . I must ask if you have any maps or information on Indian trails?
