" (first paragraph of story entitled "Log of S.S. No. 20, Brighton; Orland School - Tweedsmuir Histories, Reel 2)
Note: This confirms what otherwise seems evident by the Land Registry Records (first transaction in 1871) that the mill at Orland was not built until 1869 (or so) - 16 years after the Breakaway. This puts in doubt the often-repeated story of the mill concession at Orland by the Newcomb's coming into play soon after the Breakaway in 1853. The question remains: When was the dam built at Newcombs Mills to carry the highway straight north to Codrington??? At the same time, likely, which means the Percy Road and the various side routes into the villages of Newcombs Mills and Codrington were in use well into the 1870's.¹¹ He appeared on the census of April 1871 at Brighton Twp., Newcombs Mills, Northumberland Co., Ontario; Age 36 at 1871 Census: Newcomb, James W., 36, b.
