COLONEL TALBOT
Colonel Talbot was a land agent for the Crown and also a land owner. He owned perhaps 5,000 acres, which included most of the present Malahide Farm at Port Talbot. He also owned about 30,000 acres in Aldborough Township, mainly in the south half and south of the present day Rodney and West Lorne.
Talbot wanted to establish an estate for himself and also have a passable road from
Port Talbot to Detroit. He was able to obtain grants from all of the lands fronting on the Talbot Road in Aldborough Township and established approximately 160 settlers between 1816 and 1820. Talbot received 200 acres for each settler and in return he offered to put the settlers on a 50 acre lot. He defined a settler as any male over 16 years of age and widows whose husband had drowned in landing at Port Glasgow.
Talbot did not settle any land between 1820 and 1850 except to fulfill prior commitments. Talbot’s nephew, Colonel Richard Airey of the Charge of the Light Brigade fame, took over most of his land in 1850, after the two men had a disagreement. Talbot made an exception of the land already deeded to settlers and saved it. During the next twenty years Airey sold most of the land he had gained from his uncle to the original pioneers or their families, although some of it did go to new arrivals many of who were of German origin.
Most of these pioneers were Scotch from Argyllshire and mainly from the mid— Argyll parishes of Kilmichael—Glassary, Kilmartin and North Knapdale, with a few from Perthshire. Some who settled near the Dunwich Townline were from Selkirk settlers of the Red River Valley. There were also a few English families among these settlers.
Many of the immigrants stayed only a few years because 50 acres was too small for a farm and larger units were available elsewhere. They moved on to the Townships of Mosa, Ekfrid, Metcalf, Caradoc, Lobo in West Middlesex, Dunwich, Southwold,
Yarmouth and South Dorchester in Elgin, Orford and Howard in Kent and Brooke in Lambton, as well as Eromosa and Nessegawaya in the Guelph area. Some also moved to the plains of Aldborough near Clachan.
According to the 1860 census about 60% were Presbyterians and the other 40% were Baptists. The Presbyterian Church built at New Glasgow recently celebrated their 150th Anniversary.
Their politics varied, some were Reformers and some Torries.
Names listed in “The Pioneers of Aldborough” and others who were not listed because they came at a later date and included in the following surnames: Brown, Black, Baxter, Blue, Cameron, Carswell, Dewar, Downie, Douglas, Ford, Ferguson, Fletcher, Forbes, Gillies, Gray, Graham, Haggart, Kerr, Leitch, Johnston, Livingston, Love, (McKinven), Paul, Paterson, Ruthvan, Robertson, Stewart, Sinclair (St. Clair), Scafe (Skeaf), Sutherland, Shaw, Tull, Thomson, Munro, Menzie(s), Mitchell, Walker and the Mc or Mac names – often written both ways – McAlpine, McDonald, McDougall, McEwin, McParland, McGugan, McIntyre, McKay, McKellar, McKinlay, McKillop (McGilp), McGregor, McLaren, McLean, McNab, McNaughton (Macnaughton), McPhail, McPhedrain, McTavish (Thomson), McLarty and Reider.
The above information was submitted by Duncan McKillop. Duncan McKillop has approxlmately 160 names of settlers who came to this area and would like to check these names out for accuracy and would also like to obtain the names of wives and children and any births, deaths and marriages.
He would also like help with the following:
- Check these names out for accuracy and would like to obtain the names of their wives, children and any births, deaths and marriages.
- When did these settlers arrive? g., Mars arrived in Toronto in September and in Port Glasgow in October of 1818 with thirty—six other families. What made up their families?
- Where did they come from? Do you know the parish and hamlet or farm?
- Why did they come? Was it because of friends or neighbours or to better themselves or for any other reason?
- Did they bring money, tools or furniture with them? As many as 10,000 came from the Argyll area to Canada, many settled in the area between St. Thomas and London; and to the East. Ridgetown and to the West, Chatham.
- Who followed these people and why?
- Why did some of the settlers remain on Talbot’s Land?
- Why did some of them leave? Was it to get more land or to be near friends or for other reasons?
- Do you have any information on the reasons for their moving or what area they moved to?
- Did Talbot’s actions cause any of these settlers to lose their land, if so, was their name erased from his map? Was Talbot able to remove their names or did he have to have approval from the Surveyor General or other officials?
- Where did Furnival Road get its name?
- Where did Black’s Lane get its name? Was it from Hugh Black?
- What was the settler’s general opinion of Talbot?
- Do you have any letters, stories, etc of experiences before 1870?

REPORT ON PAST MEETINGS
December 11, 1985…. We held a party at Vi’s Place! A turkey dinner with all of the trimmings was enjoyed by about fifty people including members and their spouses. Court Whisk was played following the dinner and prizes were presented to those with the highest and the lowest scores. A lunch and conversation ended a delightful evening.
January 8, 1986…. Frank Prothero, author of several books on the Port Stanley area was the guest speaker. He spoke on the history of the Great Lakes ships and showed some slides along with his talk. He mentioned the New Brunswick, a bark rig (square sail on the front) which was built in St. Catherines, Ontario. It was the first vessel to sail to Chicago and then on to Liverpool, England, in 1847, the same year the St. Lawrence was deepened. She sank during a storm on August 28, 1858, just off of the shore near
Wheatly. It was said she was laden with black walnut lumber to be delivered in England.
Attempts were made to locate the wreckage in 1939 and again in 1979 when Mike Dilts, of Lambeth with the aid of a side scan located the wreck. On his dive 120 years after the ship went to the bottom of the lake, he recovered a sailor’s shoes and a straight razor. He later raised some of the timbers, which were white oak, no black walnut was found.
He spoke of the Merida, built at Bay City, Michigan, the largest of the vessels on the Great Lakes. The Merida went down on October 20, 1916, along with four other vessels including the steamer Colgate. That fateful day is known as Black Friday, the day the storm took fifty five lives and sent five ships to their watery grave.

February 12, 1986 Jean Griffin, author of several books and a member of the Elgin County Branch of O.G.S., spoke on some of the aspects of publishing what you have written. She mentioned the Millman Families who settled in Elgin County in 1842 and the Hepburns who settled in the area in 1843. The Weldon Library at the U.W.O. in London houses the 1859 Tax Roll for Yarmouth, she said. It is possible to have your books tax exempt if you send a copy to Revenue Canada, Excise Division for examination.
