      . Yonge Street Indian Trail
      Balsar Munshaw had gone up the Indian trail some time before first settler Nicholas Miller arrived. Munshaw arrived with his from Pennsylvania in a conestoga wagon pulled by a team of oxen & a team of horses, & accompanied by 3 cows & Christian Henricks. They had slashed & hacked their way up the trail, wade through the so-called Black Ash Swamp south of present day Richmond Hill.

      . Description Lot 26, Con 1 Yonge St., Vaughan Twp., Ontario:
      William Ladner Willson used this ravine to build his saw mill. The pond would have spilled out onto the present day Bayview Avenue as Willet Creek follows the junction of Vaughan & York Twps. which in turn is at the base of a steep hill. The similar terrain in adjacent Lot 25 York Twp., belong to his brother-in-law, Richard Lawrence & on the north side of at Lot 27, Markham Twp., was another relative, John Arnold.

      William Ladner Willson used this ravine to build a saw mill. The pond spilled out onto the present day Bayview Avenue where Willet Creek follows the junction of Vaughan & York Townships, which in turn is at the base of a steep hill.
      Near Bayview & Steeles Avenues there is a beautiful forest glade at the very end of the street. The area is surrounded with houses. It is like stepping into another world with white pine trees soaring everywhere overhead. The mature thick pine & beech forest prevents little undergrowth plants. Covered by a carpet of pine needles & fallen branches, lies the traces of a foundations of a house. A fifty foot pine has now fallen over the ruins Once this building overlooked a small deep ravine & the mill waterway. Just 15 feet from their door William & family could collect nuts from the beech tree sitting on the edge of the cliff. Some years before an ancient white pine had fallen on the slopes leaving a stump of 6 feet or more in diameter at the bottom of the ravine. Even sitting in the valley bottom land, it too would have been the tallest tree soaring into the blue sky. A pair of woodpeckers darted here & there. Fair to say this place was & is a magnificent site. - P J Ahlberg, Toronto, 2008.

      . There were 57 carters in Toronto in 1843. The "Act to Regulate Common Carriers" has been superseded by other designed to apply under conditions of motor transport; but for nearly a century the older order ruled, & the disappearance of the last livery stables has occurred within the memory of most adults.
      William Wilson's Livery Stable, in fact, still remains at 586 Yonge Street. "I still keep a couple of old horses around," says the proprietor, whose establishment is now largely a motor livery & even yet one or 2 private carriages continue to appear on the streets in leisurely, in congruous, progression - objects of curiosity in a world of speed.
      The provisions of the 1843 Act may be found in Wm. Brown's Toronto City & Home District Directory, 1846-7, pp. 7-17.
