There would be no justice for the landowners as long as the courts controlled the land disputes.' The book also details a stalemate amongst Gov. Carteret, Browne, Salter & Wm. Lawrence over the administration of an Estate. During this fray, Gov. Carteret, was hauled by NY soldiers from his bed in Elizabethtown, NJ & taken to the Gov.

His desire was to go west, however, so at the age of 18 he obtained a job as a helper with the U.S. Geological Survey & went to Montana. In May 1893, he purchased supplies in Bozeman, MT & traveled to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, filing for a homestead patent after May 1894 when he reached the required age of 21.

He & Ida continued to manage it for a few years for the new owner, after which they moved to the Aspen Ranch in Kelly, WY, which is now a part of Teton National Park. He was prominent in the cattle business & became the first Commissioner & Chairman of the Board of Teton County. Until he & Ida had their family, he was the only living descendant (great grandson) of Captain James Lawrence, who, with his dying words during the War of 1812 battle between his ship the 'Chesapeake' & the English ship 'Shannon', gave the Navy its motto, 'Don't Give Up the Ship'. . 1919 Apr 11, Friday.

Calling attention to the conditions in the valley in the spring to the year when the melting show covers the grown with slush & water, Mr. Redmond argues that, living under these conditions, the elks' feet become tender, making it almost impossible from them to leave the valley to seek new feed.

Ref: Stouffville Tribune newspaper. . 1978 Nov 23 - Two diaries in a barn. Today we saw a barn demolished on Airport property. Machines worth $175,000 had knocked it down in 7 minutes. Sifting through the debris, we discovered 2 diaries. They contained records of a previous owner, a gentleman by the ahem of Vanzant. One of the diaries was written on a piece of tin; another on a board. The tin notations were as follows: . 1937 May 1, the first swallow came. . 1933 May 6, The Dersey heifer to full. . 1937 Apr 3, bought the Barney horse. . 1939 bought the Black mare. . 1939 Apr 4, seen a pluver. . 1940 March 6, got white cow off Lunaw. Our interest deeped. The Lunar mentioned was the father of John Lunau, curator of the Markham Museum. The diary written on a board was more historic. It read: . 1896 Mar 28, First Robin. . 1897 Mar 17, First Robin. . 1898 Mar 16, first Robin. . 1900 Mar 20, got coulter ploughshare, 10¢. Shoes set on horse, 65¢. this was a man who, no doubt, was one of Markham's most ardent bird watchers. Oak, walnut, hickor y& maple trees have been left & will continue to testify to his love of nature. Years after this land was expropriated for an Airport, an enquiry is still underway to determine if the country needs it. did this man build this barn & the sit down & ask his family & neighbors if he needed it? Not very likely. The recorded items really spurred our imagination like: How many more records were buried in the debris? did the Black mare ever get the colic? Did the Dersey heifer become pregnant? When did the first robin return in 1899? How did the White cow do that was purchased from Lunau? All is now quiet. The high prices machinery has left eh scene, having done its level best. Descendants of those 1898 robins can be observed making their way South. 80 years have not changed their appearance & Habits. We felt a if we had spend an afternoon with Mr. Vanzant. It was a pleasure. Ref: Stouffville Tribune newspaper. . 2011 Mar 10 - Community: Vanzant House on land expropriate for airport Dilapidated Reesor Rd. heritage house to be razed. A heritage dwelling at 11206 Reesor Road, just south of Stouffville, is poised to be destroyed after the Town of Markham's development services committee voted reluctantly to support a demolition application. The existing 1.5 story frame dwelling is owned by Transport Canada & located in the Pickering Airport Lands. It's located near Bushwood Golf Club. the house, but in the Gothic Revival style, is severely deterred & has been vacant for a number of years. identified as the Vanzant House, it was constructed circa 1834 for Aylmer Vanzant & his wife Sarah Wideman. The underlying construction is plank-on-plank with the upper story raised with conventional framing in the 1870s. Transport Canada originally proposed demolition of the house in 1996, but didn't purse it aft the issue was reviewed by Heritage Markham. The house was instead boarded up & left vacant & Transport Canada is seeking demolition now due to its poor condition. The house is too far gone & can't be repaired at this point, said Markham Commission Jim Baird. Town staff is recommending that Transport Canada be reminded again of Markham council's desire to have heritage buildings on the Pickering airport Lands repaired, maintained & re-tenanted to preserve local heritage resources, as opposed to abandonment, boarding & neglect of them. Re: Stouffville Sun-Tribune newspaper. Note: According to various protest groups, the deterioration of the great many Pickering Airport lands is a deliberate policy to let the wood/brick houses & land go untended. As of 2017 no airport has actually been envisioned by the federal government. - PJA. Transcriptions by PJ Ahlberg. Thank you. - - -- - - | VANZANT, Almer Alonzo (I802)
