York County GenWeb, under the leadership of Sherri Pettit and Fred Appleton, started a place last year to put mini-biographies of early settlers in York County on the website at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~onyork/early-residents.html
So far, the settlers who have been placed there are
Pioneer Residents of Georgina Township
EZRA SHERWOOD
ROBERT RIDDELL
ARCHIBALD RIDDELL
Pioneer Residents of Markham Township
William Robson
Pioneer Residents of Whitchurch-Stouffville Township
In the Whitchurch Township, there is a list of records of the land patents issued in the earlier years of the settlement, and there are mini-biographies of
CHRISTOPHER SMITH
CHARLES APPLETON
Although these are not in-depth biographical studies, there may be information there that could be treated as a clue, and it could lead to a new discovery in your family history.
