Ostrander, Andrew
On 19 Jun 1803 William Dickson wrote requesting any lands to Andrew Ostrander in the Gore between Niagara and Stamford to Andrew Ostrander be withheld, as William Vanevery has a prior claim upon part of that land that is opposite to Edmund Horton and for which Edmund Horton has an order in Council for; but by said Horton’s consent this was relinquished about three years ago to Ostrander and VanEvery in Mr. Jones’ presence when he was running the lines, the deed to come out in Ostranders name, and Vaneverys part to be made over to him by Ostrander. This Ostrander under some pretext evades doing it whereupon it is necessary to bring the transaction before the Commissioners. (Thorold Township Papers 0586)
