On ite two latter side e it is enclosed between Prey ana Est Wawanosb, while •'Turnberry forms its . north-eastern -boobdary and Hullett and, McKillop Its eouth-western. The township originally contained 57,120 acres of land and water; but it would appear if the assessor's rolls are correct, that the Villageof Bruseele and Blyth, and the two relict:gads which run through it, have taken off 1,871 acres, as the number of 'acres reported by that. °facial as property of iudividuals amounts toD,5,210. Its surface is comparatively even, except near - the river. The south branch of the Maitland enters at Blum's, and pursuing au extremely irregular course, leaves the township near the uorthern angle, at Winghatu, having been joined, by the middle branch, which enters the township at Bluevale, Along the banks of these etreams the land is extremely broken which Is the chief exception to the general description of a compar- ative evenese of surface. In fact both in this respect as well as in regard to quality of eoil, Morrie very strongly resembles Grey and Wawanosb, • Outeide those parts of Morris now included within the limits of Blyth and Brussels, the firet settlement in the township was made at Belgrave, by a party oonsisting of John McRae, Chris. topher Corbett, John Brandon and Robert Armstrong, These were all originally from County Fermanagh, Ireland, but had afterwards settled in West Gwillimbury, Simcoe County vehence they came to take up their residence in Morris. They first came in September, 1851, intending to select land and built shanties thereon 'before .retuning; but before making a choice the season had got so far advanced that they concluded to defer clearing and building operations till the next spring. The lots selected, and where they subsequently settled, were as followt:—MoRea, Lot '2, Con, 5: Corbett, Lot 3, Con, 5; Brandon, Lot 3 Oen. 41 Armstrong, Lot 6 Con. 4. In pursuit of their intention they retdria" ed early in the spring of 1852, effected small clearings on their lot's, and after erecting shanties and planting potatoea etc., again returned, coming in to remain permanently in the fall of 1852, At the time of theia first coming there was no settler in the township except Kenneth McBean and William McConnell, who had quail clearings and log shanties where Blyth now stands, During the latter part of 1852, how- ever, a number of eettlera came in to different sections of the township. Chao: W. Parker, afterwards the first Reeve, was the first who followed them—and in fact his actual settle- ment dates aheadsof them all, as be came in, put up a shanty on Lot 10 Con. 0 and remained there during the time the others were east. Among the earliest of the others were Joseph England, William, John and David Geddes, and Hector McLean, who settled on the Ord and 4th line; Abra. ham Proctor, Lot 7 Con. 4 ; Charles Proctor, Lot 7, Con. 5; and Joseph Stubbs, Lot 8, Con, 4.
