      Mary, Ann, & Jesse Meredith received their grants of land because their father was an UEL, so they qualified for a certain amount of land. The petition for the properties in Garafraxa was made in 1824, but the families did arrive until Mar 1826*, following along 15 sideroad, having come up the Grand River to Elora, & following the Irvine River to the Nichol-Garafraxa Townline. It is believed that the Myron Dunkee family came later in 1832."
