"Copied from a plan of Mr. Collins, it does not agree with the survey made by L. Kotte in 1783 (Plan 1.24) Engr. D. R. Kotte's survey agrees with one taken in 1793 by J. Bouchette Chateau. In Lord Dorchester's No. 48 to major Genl. Simcoe. Includes explanation : The lots round the common are called town parks. The lots beyone are farm lots A.A.A. reserved lots for public purposes.
