This site with this marker tells a some history. The marker was the site of the land office of Mr. Burwell, he was the person who laid out the lots for many acres starting in the early days of this part of Ontario. Mr.Burwell was a Friend to Thomas Talbot who was in charge of handing out land pattens in the early 1800s. Mr. Burwell had another location before this spot, he was located not far from this location. The picture of the valley is in the area of the first location that was burnt out by the Us troops in 1813 or so. The land owner does not allow any one one his land, this location of the first spot I would like to detect. I have been in the location of his first land office and home, we did not have a detector with us, we found some early red brick that was probably made on the site. I am sure there would be some neat items if it has never been detected, the site with the plague has been detected by acouple of others last year. I did talk to the land owners and got the okay to detect, not much of any thing left, lots of broken red brick. I will some day get the okay to walk the other site with my detector. Brian C.
