The Long

Point Settlers Book

 This is the book Owen and Tasker should have written!

R. Robert Mutrie's definitive reference to Norfolk County's pioneers, the encyclopaedic The Long Point Settlers, catalogues the surviving historical record of those who pioneered in the Long Point Settlement (Norfolk County) by 1815. It is the definitive guide to more than 500 of Norfolk's earliest families, indexing more than 3,500 names.

This 310-page hard cover volume alphabetically lists each settler and his family. All sources cited are contemporary to the pioneers, including documents and letters they wrote themselves; government, court and church records, land petitions, surveyor reports, assessments, wills, marriage registers, militia records, obituaries, and more. Modern cemetery transcripts document many of their final resting places.

You can spend years duplicating the author's effort, scouring the same archives Robert did, or you can buy this complete and fully documented resource to Norfolk County's founding families.

Crammed full of details unavailable in any other single source, Long Point Settlers is Resource One for Long Point Settlement researchers, many of whom describe it simply as their research Bible.

The Long Point Settlers is available for $39.50 including shipping. For ordering you may use the convenient order form or e-mail robertmutrie@rogers.com
