Besides collecting all the furs about this locality, he made several excursions north to where Port Perry now is and on to the next waters being on Lake Simcoe at Beaverton. He and his hired porters drew upon hand sleighs or carried when there was no snow, powder, shot, bullets, guns, blankets, knives and trinkets, such as steel discs for striking fire on the flint. On camping at night they fired off guns in quick succession, which was the signal for the Indians to gather, and next
morning all within hearing came with their furs and traded for these goods. David Annis sent these furs to Montreal in Durham boats, and for gold doubloons for them, being the only commodity in that day which would bring money. The returning Durham boats brought back more goods for future trading.
By this means he amassed great wealth. He also took his grist
to be ground in Durham boats to Kingston, for many years, until one Elias Smith father of John D. Smith, erected a grist mill at Smith's Creek now Port Hope." Samuel Pedlar Manuscript.
