Bayfield's
Baron
(By Arthur R. Ford in the London
Free Press)
Two of the most colorful figures+
of Western Ontario — and there
were many of them — were the
two Baron de Tuyles, father and
son. They were Belgians who dur-
ing the troublesome days of the
early part of the nineteenth cen-
tury sought refuge in England.
Baron de Tuyle, senior, was in,
London in the twenties when the
Canada Land Co., which ownedthe
Huron Tract in Western Ontario,
was being promoted. He became
interested and secured the servic-
es of Captain Bayfield„ later Ad-
miral Bayfield, who was surveying
the Great Lakes, to suggest a lo-
cation for him. He recommended
that he purohase the property on
the ridge, opposite .Goderich, and
that he buy a large tract of land,
where Bayfield now is — named
after the Admiral. So Baron de
Tuyle was the founder of Bayfield.
The Baron built his home on the
Ridge—a commodious log cottage
planned for entertainment. The
Baron's home was a centre of hos-
pitality for Goderich and clistrict
The Baron returned to Belgium in
1836 and' died there in that year.
The Baron's son, who inherited the
title, and any estates the father
possessed. was a handsome, disso-
lute youth, who had actually been
outlawed at one time for his debts.
He loved the lite of London and
was popular in the aristocratic cir-
cles of the capitals of Europe. He
was an expert sailor and the Miss-
es Lizars, in their history of the
Canada Land Co., say that it was
only the seamanship skill of the
Baron that saved a fishing party
on an expedition in Lake Huron
during a great storm.
On the death of his father the
young Baron carne to Canada to
look over the estates on Lake
Huron. He soon fitted into the
frontier life and became the bosom
drinking pal of that heroic Gode-
rich figure, Dr. "Tiger Dunlop." He
was a picturesque figure in the
costume of a frontiersman and'
oined heartily in the escapades of
the doctor. When he grew tired of
pioneer life he would visit York or
even New York.
We have never been able to find
much information about the de
Tuyles. but in the University of
Wes:ern Ontario Library we have
located a volume called "Salmon
Fishing. in Canada," written by
Rev. William A. Adamson, a sport -
:ng Irish parson who was chaplain
in Canada to Lord Sydenham when
he was governor-general from 1839
to 1811. The parson along with
several fishing, friends took a fish-
ing" trip on a yacht down the St.
Lawrence. The party consisted of
a wealthy military captain, Hon.
H. H. Kilialy. a prominent Lon-
eoner of the early days who was
commissioner of public works at
the time. and Baron de Tuyle.
Neither the commissioner nor the
Baron is actually named, but there
is no doubt who are intended. It

was evidently a gay party. They
stopped at Tadousac at the Moutli
of the Saguenay River, then a trad-
ing post and a lumbering camp run
by the Prices — the same Quebec
family prominent in lumber and
paper manufacture today. It is the
only sketch of de Tuyle which we
have seen. Here is the description
of Baron de Tuyle:
"The Baron was a very hand-
some man. He was six feet two
or three inches In height, had a
profusion qf dark brown hair, with
a black beard and whiskers, which
had now grown to an enormous
length—features which, in repose,
were tinged with a hue of deep
melancholy, but when animated—
and that was almost always the
case—beaming with goodhumor, in-
telligence and playfulness. Light of
limb and agile as a roebuck, his
every step wee graceful. These
natural advantages had been culti-
vated by education, and his man-
ner polished by association with
the highest society in Europe --
every country and court which was
familiar to him, and almost every
language of which he spoke with
ease and fluency.
'In early life he had entered the
navy of his native country, and
there became an excellent mathe-
matician and an admirable practi-
cal navigator; but having soon in-
herited the title and large posses -
sins of his father, a distinguished
officer, he was appointed to a
place at court when, disdaining a
slothful life, he took to the pursuit
of pleasure of every description, an
exercise which is very seldom
found to be conducive to the im-
provement of a man's patrimony—
as he soon began to feel—and in
consequence had visited Canada to
look after a large tract of land.
which his more prudent parent had
purchased some years previously.
"He was a delightful companion,
and the very best tempered man
I was ever on a cruise with,"
