Settlement of Macaulay Township

In looking at the map of Macaulay from the 1878 Atlas, it appears that the concession roads are between the 8th/9th, the 10th/11th and the 12th/13th concessions, although the old map doesn't show any houses in the last two concessions. Here is a list of the first settlers on the northern concessions of Macaulay and the dates of location:

"Macaulay was surveyed by John Ryan in 1857 and offered for location in 1861. **Lots settled between 1861 and 1868 are not in this list, nor are any lots not settled under this Act." This list was created by Bill Martin, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.
