First deed madeDunIop
ownof Hullett Iots
By W.E. ELLIOTT
clusive, in the third eoncession
of Hullett.
The first deed conyeyiniti•tle . The document was completed
to land in Huron County was in Toronto by Hoh. William
issued on January third, 1835- Allan and Thomas' Mercer
140 years ago. The party of the Jones, "attorneys" for the
first part, of course, was the Canada Company.. Jones had
Canada Company, owner of the not at that time moved up to
Huron Tract, and the purchaser ` Goderich as commissioner.
was Robert Graham Dunlop, One of the witnesses to the
the first registrar of deeds. He deed Was John McDonald,
acquired Lots 16 to 19, in- deputy provincial surveyor,
also described as of 'Toronto,
which needs a bit ° of ex-
; planation we are not likely to
get. John must have been in
Goderich most of his time. ,
The deed was recorded "for"
Captain Dunlop by James
Hamilton, deputy registrar. It
is a little folded sheet of par-
chment, brown with age;`and is
marked "Lib. A, Folio 1,"
testifying to its seniority. ;
As to why our first registrar,
brother 'of the "Tiger," .desired
four 100 -acre lots in Hullett, one
guess is as good as another; or
maybe even better..He wanted
them.enough to pay 250 pounds
sterling, or about.$1,215 at that
time,
The . settlement at Van-
derburgh's Corners was four
years old, but gave no promise
of spreading to Con. 3. In any
case, Dunlop held the lots only
to December 10 of the same
,year.:before returning them to
the Canada -Company, which
resold to settlers. •
Lot 15; not included in the
transaction, is shown in the
Belden Atlas as divided, with a
church at the .property line. No.
16 belonged in turn to James

Miller, Geo, McTaggart and
R.S. Lawson. No. 17 was bought
in 1854 by James Ginn, and the
family name is connected
therewith for a century.
Lot 18 was leased for some
year$ to Richard van Egmond,,
after which John UpshalF
owned it, followed by Isaac
Ra,rtenbury, -Goderich
Gh telman, and in recent years
ordon . MacDonald.
Apparently land was sold from
all these lots to the Queen in the
right of the Province of
Ontario, and in some cases to
H.E .P.0 ., the Hydro Com-
mission.
, Ontario Government pur-
chases probably were in con-
nection with the Hullett swamp
development. Wm. S. Storey on
Lot 19 sold land to Hydro in
1973. •
• Several years before Dunlop
bought the lots in Concession 3,
settlement had taken place on
Con. 1, east of Clinton, and
there we find such familia?'
names as Dale, van Egmond,
Helmer, Rattenbury, Ransford
-and Gibbirtgs-In Con. 2, among
the early owners were Dale,
McMichael, Fowler and
Fingland.
There werte settlers in
Goderich township, Colborne,
McKillop and Hullett as early
as 1832, and presumably they
received some sort of
docurnentary evidence from
the Canada Company office ib
Goderich as to their leases, but
head office in-Tdronto issued
the first Heed in, 1835, as here
set forth, and registration did
not take place until several
years later.
John Galt conducted his first
registry office in a Quebec
Street house. Site of the present
building was bought by the
county in 1868.
