rived its name of Molesworth
from the surveyor who surveyed
the area.
The first to settle was John
Mitchell who came in from
Scotland and took up lot 52 on
the first concession of trey. A
great grandson. "Robert Mitchell,
owns the farm, today. John Wilt-
then was also the first deputy

Donalds, Menzies, Campbells,
McGeorges MeIntosnes, Browns,
Elliotts and many others, Mostly
from Scotland. With the numer-
ous settlers lumber was needed
