I put & place the residue of all my property real & personal after the payment of all my just debts, my Executors to equally divided, as near as may be, my 6 children namely Charlotte, Alexander (transcribers note: he is a nephew, but treated as son) Matilda, Hannah, Bell Gore & Elizabeth Jane, & the others to have an equivalent in money or other property as may be agreed on by the parties.
It is my earnest wish that the homestead Lot No. 4 in the 2nd Concession of Flamboro West (Flamboro Cottage) should be kept in the family, for on it I have spent the vigor of my youth in rugged industry to make a small pittance for my dear children & relatives, & it has pleased God to bless my labors & increase my share & for which I feel truly thankful.
I could wish that Charles Slaven, a brute in the Shape of Man, who aided & encouraged by my wife, seduced from the path of duty & from a fond father's protection, my poor & unthinking motherless infant Elizabeth Jane, should not anticipate any of the property given to my dear child, if my Executors can possibly prevent it & as I have before mentioned I wish Lot 4, Con 2, Flamboro West known by the name of Flamboro Cottage with all its mills should be kept by one of my 3 children, namely Matilda, Hannah & Bell Gore or by the whole of them with share & share alike in the profits thereof if agreed, not to be sold out of the family if it possibly can be avoided & should it be so managed that the said Flamboro Cottage be kept by one of my said children or more. Or in money as may be agreed on by the parties concerned.
 I particularly request of my said Executors, & enjoin it upon them, that the do immediately after my death take appropriation of my Estate real & personal & a faithful inventory of all within as well as without doors & give a Copy of same to my daughter Hannah, for I have been so often robbed by those whose duty it was to protect me & my property, for I believe some advantages will be taken of my death as heretofore been done of my absence to carry off property & given to those whom I have only received the basest ingratitude, the world knows what I have done for them, & I advise my children to shun their dwellings, if they value their own peace & happiness.
Executor: John K. Simons, W.W. Simons & Alexander Robertson Esq. my true & lawful Executors & my daughter Hannah when she shall have attained the proper age my executrix.
Witness: 10 August 1826, Alexander Robertson Esq. & Matilda his wife guardians of my infant children Hannah & Bell.

Bildad Simons of Saltfleet, Potter & Ramor.
Petitioner has been near 7 years in the Province [1799] & has a family of a wife & 4 children. Property in the amount of £50. Taken the oath of allegiances. He wants 200 acres located in tract lately (Govt.) purchased. He is prepared & undertakes to pay within 3 days of Order in Council for land. He will pay all Survey fees in the same period. He will also attend the Secretary of the Province within 21 days to take out the deed. [i.e. he will get started without delay.]

Entered into Land Book G, 78. Warrant 193, issued 19 Jun 1806 by the petitioner.
Note2: The Upper Canada Government had just recently purchased land in Trafalgar area from the natives. Some settlers were staking out the new farming land even before the negations were finished.)

Note3: Concerning his place of birth: There was a Bildad Simons living in Massachusetts but not enough information is found to drawn a firm connection. Or perhaps the Simons were living in the German Valley of New Jersey along with the Teetzel, Hagers, who came to the excellent farm land of the Trafalgar area. The name of Bildad's wife is unknown. -PJA.

. 1809 Jun 11, Town of York, General Quarter Session of Peace holden at Town of York. The Grand Jury called & severally Sworn as follows.

Note4: This would imply that Bildad was actually living in the Town of York by 1806 to at least 1814, otherwise he would have been called for jury duty in Trafalgar, a rather long distance to travel by foot or horse. Most men on jury would be well known men from near by on Yonge St., York Twp. It is further noted that Bildad filed various Marriage Bonds & Land transactions himself dated in Toronto, rather than the common method of mailing in these requests.

Note5: Very interesting this item. Why did Bildad not serve? Was there some sympathy for the American cause? or not actually willing to fight against his fellow Americans? Could it have anything to do with his wife's murder? (Date unknown). Or perhaps, more simply, was Bildad more preoccupied with providing for his family in wintertime? - PJA, 2011.

. 2018. The 3195 Bronte Road Demolition . A home was recently demolished, leavng members with many questions. Tom Murrison reports that tyhe believes thas was the home of Mr Mrs Bildad Simons, that had been at the SE corner of Bronte & Dundas, wehre the medical building now stands. This house was moved in Jan 1955 as per our archives photos. It is beleived based on the birthdates of thier children, that this is an early 1800 built home & that the back part was liely a hewen timber frame. This home was not on the heritage registry so there were not extra steps in place for when the owners requested the demolitions permit.

. Palermo Parsonage. This house on Bronte Road, just north of Dundas Street, was the Methodist parsons for the Palermo Circuit for some 50 years. It was the responsibility of the Ladies Aids of the Circuit to furnish & decorate the parsonage. With Methodist ministers changing every 2 or 3 years, It was almost a continuing task. When the parsonage was moved to Bronte about 1912, this house was sold. It is still lived in today, 60 years later, 1907. Most of the early settlers in the Palermo community were participants in the beginnings of Methodist in Trafalgar Twp.

The people of Enfield were nearly unanimously in favor of the American revolution & their Independence. In 1780 the Shaker System of Religion was introduced into Enfield.

The original settlers of Enfield were destitute as they were of the rich alluvial tracts that afforded such facilities [they] only subsisted. They sometimes experienced great privations for the want of the necessary means of subsistence & were often obliged to resort to the neighboring towns for supplies for their impoverished families & had it not been for annual supplies of shad & pigeons with which they were so abundantly blessed. The town had scarcely ever afforded more grain than was required for a home supply. The product of its droves was very scanty & its stock of horses cattle & sheep were not numerous or productive. From 1790 to 1800 Enfield lost more people by emigration dur­ing that 10 years than it ever did at any former period.
