Lots A & B, Concession C

In 1823, Lord Dalhousie, Governor of the Canadas, bought from the Fraser family a large tract of land, in the township of Nepean, east of Captain John LeBreton’s property and north of Nicholas Sparks’s property [Elliott 1991]. This tract of land represented lots A and B in concession C of the township of Nepean, and Lord Dalhousie bought it from Hugh Fraser, son of Thomas Fraser, who had bought it in 1812 from Jacob Carman, who had acquired it from the Crown in 1802 [Brault 1946].
