• Note*: 1796; Hope Twp., Durham Co., Upper Canada; "In 1797, Mr Nathan Walton, father of Mrs William Sisson, when a young man arrived at Little York on his way to the Township of Hope, where he intended to settle. He was at a loss how to proceed farther on his journey as there was no road between this place and the place of his destination. Being alone he had no desire to travel through the impenetrable forest. Governor Simcoe was preparing to leave this country at the time and as he was going down the Lake some person informed him at the time he was embarking on board the boat of the dilemma the stranger was placed in, whereupon he was immediately invited on board the boat, cheerfully promising to land him at Smith's Creek. Mr Walton had brought a deerhound this far and fearing that he would be trespassing too much on the generosity of the Governor, left him ashore. The howlings of the faithful animal by being thus separated from his master attracted the attention of the Governor, who, on being made cognizant to whom he belonged and the purpose for which he had brought him, ordered him to be brought on board. On the well-known call of his master, he swam to the boat and when he got on board, in shaking himself, wet the Governor, who received the splashing with that urbanity so characteristic of the gentleman. When the Governor learned that the stranger was a brother to Captain WaIton, he promised to give instructions to President Hunter to give him 1,000 acres of land in the Township of Hope, which was duly fulfilled. Mr Myndert Harris, Sr caught the first deer through the efficient instrumentality of the hound imported by Mr Walton."

  Note: Simcoe left Upper Canada in August 1796.
