The boarder between the newly sized Cramahe and the new Brighton townships was the lot line between lots 10 and 11. (Dan Buchanan, July 14 2021.) He appeared on the census of March 1852 at Brighton Twp., Northumberland Co., Canada West; Age 60 at 1851 Census: Holland, Richard, 60, b. N.B., C.E., yeoman, married; Mary, 57, b.

Note: The Lynch family is above and John McPhail below. Abigail Holland and family is lower on the page, minus James Holland. George Hanna and John Parr are in between. (Dan Buchanan, Aug 19 2021.)⁵ He On April 21, 1852, several days of heavy rain along with spring snowmelt caused a gravel bank to give way on the small lake north-west of Hilton. The water cascaded down the narrow valley, following the creek to the north-east, all the way to Cole Creek and eventually the Trent River. Lewis Shearer's saw mill in the valley north of Hilton was destroyed, killing Mr. Shearer and a helper, Jacob Herrington. This event is known in local parlance as "The Breakaway". The Stephens brothers, Alva and Daniel, had recently obtained parts of the south half of lot 5 from their father Richard, so, all of a sudden, their lake was gone. They sold to John Philp soon after. (Dan Buchanan, July 14 2021) on 21 April 1852 at The Breakaway, Hilton, Northumberland Co., Canada West. He lived on 11 December 1852 at Conc 5 Lot 31, Murray Twp., Northumberland Co., Upper Canada; Land Registry Records (? D222) show that Richard Holland sold the north half of lot 31, conc 5, Murray Twp. to Elijah H.? Meyers. ITS Date: Dec 11 1852. Reg'n. Date: July 25 1868. (Ontario Land Registry Records, Northumberland Co., Brighton Twp., Conc 5, Lot 31, pg. 185 of 259, pg. 1, copied from OnLand.ca, by Dan, Apr 12 2020)
Note: The nature of this transaction is unclear. It looks like Richard Holland obtained two mortgages on this property and it eventually reverted to one of the mortgage holders, Elijah W. Meyers and his wife would eventually sell it to Charles W. Lyon. This supports the mystery of what happened to Richard Holland. His brother, James Holland, apparently came back to Brighton Township since there is a clear Death Registration for him Sep 10 1880. There is no documentation for Richard in this area after the 1861 Census, at least that I have seen.

Note: Here is one more land transaction that supports the notion that Richard Holland had a lot of irons in the fire from a real estate standpoint, with many mortgages involved. This may be the reason he left the area. (Dan Buchanan, Aug 19 2021.)⁴
