. 1809 Sep 8, Charlottesville, London District
The bearer Mr. Valentine Harden, a farmer in New Brunswick, has been induced from the encouragement given to his neighbors, Ness. Thomson & Jarvis, to visit this Country with a view of settling in it.
May I therefore beg leave through you to state to His Excellency Lt. Governor Gore, that I know Mr. Harden from his infancy till I removed from NB to this Country, that he always bore the character of a loyal, industrious & peaceable subject.
His father was employed in carrying dispatches & on several hazardous expeditions during the Revolutionary War, he removed with his family to NB at the peace, whence the bearer has resided ever since. His object is not to obtain an immediate grant of waste l&, but to het some assurance that he would meet with encouragement from the Governor & Council should he return to this Country as an actual settler. I have the honor to be Sir, your most obedient numb. servant, Jos. Ryerson, to Wm. Halton, York.
An Upper Canada land petition was not found for Valentine Harden.

Walker, & in recognition of the care & attention which he bestowed upon the mother & child, the boy was named Walker Tisdale. - - -
