. 1846 Smith's Canadian Gazetter, Province of Canada West:
Goodrich, Huron District, on Lake Huron. Laid out in 1827 by Mr. Galt, of Canada Company, Town is handsomely situated. A harbor has been constructed, but the piers are now getting out of repair. A lighthouse is jut about being erected by the government. In 1827 a road was open to Wilmot Twp., also to town of London.
States run twice a week fro Goodrich to London & Galt. The steamboat Goodrich called here on her weekly trips from Windsor to Owen's Sound. A fishing copy was established here. 5 churches, a stone jail & court house & Canada Company offices are kept here. Post 4 times a week. Population 659. Experts for 1844 were small but doing the spring of 1845, about 12,000 buses of were are ship. One grist, 2 saw mills, bulling mill & carding machine. There is a tavern on the Bayfield road, 4 miles south of Goodrich.

. The Willson home was not far that that of Judge Reed's Tavern on the now vanished Hibernia Terrance. This was the terminal for the stages which travelled from Hamilton up through Kitchener, Galt, Guelph & Stratford. The Canada Company stage started in 1841 & was still operating in 1855. Jacob obtained employment driving stage, probably through his father's connections with the Canada Land Company & continued to do so for some years. Eliza & Jacob's first child, Oliver Creedon was born there in Oct 1837, to be followed by 4 sons & 2 daughters, the last in 1856.
The stage business was probably dwindling about this time & Jacob was now over 40. In 1862 Jacob purchased Lots 14 & 15, Maitland, in Colborne township, not for from Goderich. The land was not too productive & it was not easy to make ends meet so Jacob followed the family pattern of many mortgages. The house on the property burned down many years ago.
In Dec 1886 Jacob purchased 3 lots, 14, 15 & 16, Range F, Section 5, in Maitland Cemetery."
