HALIBURTON County
Separated from Peterborough county in 1874, but still attached to Victoria county for the administration of justice. Named from the eminent humorous writer, Judge Thomas Chandler Haliburton (Sam Slick) born in Windsor, N.S. in 1796… in 1861 he was Chairman of the Canadian Land and Emigration Co. of London, which purchased one million acres in this part of Ontario and sought to encourage settlement; not with success!

HISTORICAL CONTEXT:
SEARCH LISTS:
heritagePIN PROJECT DATABASES | Project Goals and Progress
Beta
MAPS | project
I had been able to photograph several of the (brittle) Pre-Confederation maps at various universities and archives, and by 2016 the University of Toronto has made images available ONLINE for many more!
The names in these databases have been transcribed by me personally, and include names from the inset town maps, and indexes of subscribers, located in the margins of each map.
DIRECTORIES & GAZETTEERS | project
Likewise, with historical directories, names have been transcribed by eye, not by OCR (conversion to text). They include those entries for individuals living in towns and cities.
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
Where maps and directories are sparse for a township, or for an early time period, the Databases are supplemented with record-sets * that show names and Concession/Lot locations *. These include early Land Grant/Patents, and Agricultural Census returns.
