- Description
- This transcript of land assessment rolls from microfilmed original records shows the names of the people who owned and/or occupied land in Trafalgar Township in 1816 and also in 1823. The 1816 information shows each name with the acres of land cultivated and/or uncultivated. It does not show the Concession and Lot number for each 1816 person but to assist in placing people, this information is shown as it was in 1823.
Also identified by an asterisk are the 47 men who appear to have served in the 2nd Regiment of York Militia in the War of 1812.
1806 saw the beginning of European settlers in Trafalgar Township.
This assessment transcript was prepared by Fred Blair with the assistance of Jane Watt for the Trafalgar Township Historical Society in 2012. The transcription was made from the Oakville Public Library microfilm.
Fred has also prepared assessments for 1823 and 1825. The records can all be retrieved by clicking on the "Group" link, "Trafalgar Township Assessment Roll Transcripts".
