Henry Couse was given 200 A of land for his services in the War. In 1835 he brought his wife, Ann to the farm Lot 11, Con 8, Garafraxa. The farm was located on the north bank of the Grand River, with the buildings near the 7th Belwood, sprung up, part of it being built on the Couse property. Gradually the clearing on the Couse farm grew & this farm in the River Flats became productive.
