ESQUESING HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER P.O. Box 51, Georgetown, Ontario, Canada L7G 4T1 www.esquesinghistoricalsociety.ca Vol. 33 No. 5 January - February 2009 History of the Lorne Scots Regiment Standing at attention in the Georgetown Armouries are Lorne Scots Rick Currie, John Stasula, Doug Cousins, Jim O’Neil, Bob Johnston and Jim Metcalf. ehs2593 Esquesing Historical Society Newsletter 1 The Georgetown Volunteers All Canada was worked up in 1861 over the possibilities of war between Great Britain and the United States over the Trent affair, which arose out of the taking of two envoys of the Confederate government by an American man-of-war from a British steamer Trent on their way to Europe. The volunteer movement took like wildfire and companies of militia were formed in Georgetown, as in every Canadian centre of population. Captain Young organized a company to instruct which a drill-sergeant was furnished from one of Her Majesty’s regiments. The first instructor was Corporal Coupland of the P.C.O. Rifle Brigade, then stationed in Canada. His uniform was of dark green, that of the company the imperial scarlet. Coupland having completed his term in the army became a civilian again taking his proper name of Harwood and married and settled in Georgetown, obtaining a position in the paper mill. His successor Sergeant “Wots-is-name” was quite a contrast, being a heavy set bearded man from the Scots fusiliers with a very gorgeous scarlet uniform. The company became part of the 29 th Halton Battalion and saw service during the Fenian raid of 1866, acting as guard on the suspension bridge, Niagara Falls. John R. Barber took command after Captain Young’s retirement and in due time was Colonel of the 20 th . Long before the Trent affair the 100 th Royal Canadian Rifles were recruited for imperial service, and I remember perfectly the recruiting sergeant’s visit to Georgetown with a drummer and fifer, also in uniform, who enlisted several men in the village and after slipping the Queen’s shilling into their hands, as was the custom, pinned a cockade in their hats. -C.W.

Box 51, Georgetown, Ontario, Canada L7G 4T1 www.esquesinghistoricalsociety.com WW Vol. 44 No.3 September-October 2019 SETTLEMENT OF ESQUESING TOWNSHIP On 2 April 1819, the private secretary to the Lieutenant-Governor wrote to the Surveyor-General in the following terms: “I am directed by His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor to inform you that he has decided the following names be given to the three Townships in the Missisaque [sic] Tract now under order of survey – namely – to the western Township (in the rear of Nelson) that of Nassagiweya – To the centre Township (in the rear of Trafalgar) the of Esquesing – And to the eastern Township (in the rear of Toronto) that of Chinguacousy, being the Indian names of the principal rivers in each respectively.” The native village on Scotsdale Farm has been dated to 1550- 1580. Crawford Lake is dated to the 15th century. “To collect, preserve and publicize the history of Esquesing” 1 A colourful and unintentionally amusing account of the summer of 1819 in York was written by another future settler in Esquesing Township, James Laidlaw, a 60- year-old immigrant from Ettrick, Scotland, who was shortly to take up his land grant in Lot 5, Concession 3, Esquesing, wrote as follows to his son Robert in Scotland: “ “York, September 9, 1819 Dear Robert, I write you this, to let you Know, that we are still alive, which is a great mercy. We Came here on the 25th of Aprile; but, as there was no land ready misered, we were obliged to take a House for this Summer, and an acre of a Garden: we had to stay in it until we get the Crop of the Garden.

    ESQUESING HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER P.O. Box 51, Georgetown, Ontario, Canada L7G 4T1 www.esquesinghistoricalsociety.ca Vol. 31 No. 5 January - February 2007 ESQUESING TOWNSHIP AGRICULTURE Esquesing Township was surveyed in 1818 and opened for settlement the following year. The survey was completed in 1819 and we find the new settlers coming in immediately, some from the Niagara District and many from the British Isles, predominately Scotch. In fact the south westerly part of Esquesing was named the Scotch Block and it is said that they were very clannish and resented intruders coming in who were “beyond the law”. The first political meeting for Esquesing Township was on New Year’s Day, 1821 at the home of Joseph Standish. It is stated in the minutes that the population of the township at that time was 424. At that meeting James Fraser was chosen Town Clerk, Joseph Standish and Thomas Barbour, Assessors; Thomas Fyfe, Collector; and Charles Kennedy and John Stewart, Town Wardens. As soon as a tavern opened, subsequent meetings were held there on the 7th Line. The business consisted chiefly of defining the proportions of a lawful fence, what animals should be allowed to run at large, the appointing of pathmasters and the registration of cattle marks, each settler having a distinctive mark. We notice that the favourite mark was a “half-penny” cut out of either of the ears of the beast, while sometimes the more barbarous device of entirely cutting off an ear was resorted to. After the more serious business of the day was disposed of, the custom was to spend a convivial time over the liquors of the host.
