'AR 3; Seaforth — Phone 527-0608 (Continued from rage 1•1 same letter he names Seebach and Fryfogle, whose tavern, a little east of the site of Shakes- peare, was still being built on December 18th, 1828. A fourth tavernkeeper, Andrew Helmer, near the Wilmot line, was the only other settler on the Huron Road when the contracts for making the wagon road were let about 1830. Col. 'Van Egmond, who was a man of considerable means, took - a- contract for about 45 miles of the road easterly from Goder- ich. The Company insisted that contractors take two-thirds of their pay in land. Among the many lots along the Huron Road on which Anthony Van Egmond's -name was -inscribed -were seven in McKillop Town- ship (lots 21-27 incl.) and seven opposite to these in Tucker- smith Township (lots 6-12 MO. This block -contains the whole area on which Seaforth was-later laid out. InI addition, Van Eg- mont!. obtained Lots 10 and 11 in both the Second and Third Concessions of-Tuckersmith, in- cluding, a mill site on which saw and grist mills were soon built: About 1835 the Canada Company oPened . "The Mill Road" across Tuckersmith as. an 'extension of the Bayfield. Road from The London Road at Brucefield -to "Van Egmond's Mills" and up the sideroad be- tween Lots .10 and 11 to the Huron Road. This -established a road junction of some impor- tance, but certain circumstances delayed the development of this site. By .1837 Col. Van Egmond had become a severe critic of the Canada Company and of the ruling clique at Toronto. He supported William Lyon Mac- kenzie, whom he joined at Montgomery's Tavern on the morning before the defeat of the insurgents. He was captured and taken to Toronto, where he died in custody before. --being tried for treason. His affairs were left in confusion and in 1841 a good part of his land was sold by the Sheriff of. the Lon- don District. Lots 10 and 11, Con. 1 in Tuckersmith and Lots 25 and .26,- Con.- 1 in McKillop' were bought, with- other lands, by George J. Goodhue, merchant and, postmaster at London-, Can- ada WeSt. Goodhue sold Lot 25 in McKillop and Lot 11 n Tuck- ersmith'in 1842 to other absen- tees, but he was in 1850 the registered Owner of Lots 26 arid 10. Meanwhile, one Andrew Steen had-squatted on'•the south end of Lot 26, Con. 1, McKillop, built a house and made 'a clear- ing. It is possible that another squatter opened an inn on Lot 11 for a -time about 1845. A tavern is marked on a map used by the Canada Company. in an advertisement, but does not ap- pear on a' large map of the Huron District 'published in 1846. It was in October, 1850 that George Sparling bought Lot 25, Con. 1," 1VicKillop Township. Snarling may have only been looking for a farm at that time, but rumours of the, proposed Buffalo, Brantford and Goder- ich Railway gave him a differ- ent idea. Besides the road from Egmondville had been extended north of the" Huron Road and was gravelled at about this time. In March, 1853, Christo- pher Sparling, merchant of Har- purhey, bought Lot 11, Con. 1, in Tuckersmith arid in August sold a two-acre strip across this lot to the B.B. & G. Railway Company, which was acquiring such strips in the other lots south of the Huron Road, Chris- topher Sparling sold an acre in the south-east corner of Lot 11 to Andrew McKearnan, who may have been keeping a store and began to be called "merchant". Some time in 1855 George Spar- ling had.his first survey of vil- lage lots laid out in the south- erly part of Lot- 25 and in Nov- ember, 1855, sold a quarter acre farther east'to-Jamei Beat- tie, blacksmith. On January 30, 1856, George Sparling obtainet a release from mortgage far five acres, intended •for his sec- ond village survey. It was not until February 23, 1856 that Christoper Sparling made an agreement of sale of the ren'raining 97 acres of Lot 11 with Hewitt Bernard, Henry R. A, Boyes and James Patton, all of Barrie. Bernard and Pat- ton belonged to the law firm of A rdagh„ 'Bernard and Patton and Boyes was a merchant. Five days later the sale was confirm- ed by a deed to Bernard, George Lefroy and, James Patton. Le- froy is described as "of Innisfil Tdwnship", but later deeds • as "of Barrie". The gentlemen from Barrie were simply speculators. It is said that James Patton was res- ponsible for obtaining a station for Seaforth from the Buffalo, Brantford and Lake Huron Rail- way, which had replaced the earlier company. Certainly the syndicate sold land int. the sta- tion to the B.B. & L.A. for a modest price and when Seaforth Post Office was opened in Dec- ember, 1859, Adam Patton was the first postmaster. However, it appears that the Pattons did not choose the 'name "Seaforth", for George Sparling's surveys "for the village-of Seaforth" are mentioned in the releaSe refer- red to above, dated January 30, 1856, After some edmplieated transactions between the mem- bers- of the Barrie syndicate, control of Ulf 1,1 came into the hands of James Patton, who did not hold- it long. There are few indications of subdivision in this area before 1860 and the chief layout is known as the "Jarvis Survey" from a later owner, Meanwhile, in 1856.59 George Sparling made a number -of sales of' village lots, Seaforth was growing in the fifties but chiefly around .the crossroads. An account of Seaforth in 1863-64 calls it "a rapidly pro- gressing village". "Its, principal trade consists in the buyllig and forwarding of Wheat, which is carried on extensively, In 1862 the grain- shipped in January 'and February, was 101,069 bushels." However, the list of businesses shows that Seaforth had a fair number of trades and small industries, in addition to' the various stores, hotel and so forth. The writer remarks that "Unfortunately for the., village, part of the lands on which it is situated, have, been, and are still in trust for niinors, which considerably retarded its pro- gress. which, notwithstanding .has been astonishing," This may refer either to Lot 10,. Con. 1, Tuckersmith, which had been bought from the Hon. George J. Goodhue in 1854 in trust for the children of George Gouinlock of Harpurhey, or to the fact that a chancery-suit was still. pend- ing to deterrnirre 'the fights of, the widow and datighters of An- drew Steen to the south half of_ Lot 26, Con. 1, McKillop. The ,suit of Goodhue v. Steen wwas settled in 1866. It had not entirely stopped development, for Mrs. Steen and her elder daughter Mrs. Sparling, had leased an area to James Beattie who afterwards bought the 'whole fifty acres. They had even released a lot to the Wesleyan Methodist Congregation for a church in. 1863. The Gouinlock surveys were subsequent to 1860. Seaforth grew fairly quickly during the 1860's. Shipments of grain increased to nearly a mil- lion bushels a year and. the vil- lage acquired' new, industries. Seaforth was incorporated as' a village in 1868 and became a town in 1875. It was discovered that there were deposits of salt under the village and in the - 1870's these began to be ex- ploited on a considerable scale. The town has never been large, but has maintained its poSitioft as a centre for the surrounding -area, outdistancing its older' rivals, Egmondville and Harpur- hey.
