The George Code family were the first residents of Elma township according to the history of Perth County. 2. George Code and his brother Richard Coad left their homes in Lanark and Kitley in Leeds in the spring of 1848 hoping to find desirable land in the "Queens Bush". On reaching what is now Milverton in Perth county, they engaged a guide. He, with the help of a compass guided them to an area that pleased George. It was on the bank of the Maitland River. They continued on for a distance of about twenty miles. Richard selected land on the Maitland River in East Wawanosh township, in Huron county. 3. George and Richard's decision to locate in the "Queens Bush" shaped the settlement pattern of their youngest brother, James Code, two sons of their sister Rachel Jackson, a son and daughter of their brother Thomas Code, and members of other related families. 4. Robert and William Bingham were married to nieces of Sarah Code. They told George Code, shortly after his return to Lanark, that they were committed to settle in the "Queens Bush" provided that he would allow his sons Samuel and George to accompany them. The Bingham brothers and Samuel and George Code left Lanark in September 1848. Robert and William Bingham selected a site in Elma township, near what was later to be the village of Attwood. It was October 1848 before Samuel and George were on their site on the bank of the Maitland river, and where later the village of Trowbridge would be located. 5. George Code visited his sons in 1853, and persuaded them to build a mill on the bank of the river. The George Code family, with the exception of daughter Margaret, moved from Lanark to lots 7 and 8, con. 2, Elma township, Perth county, in 1855. 6.
