Books specific to North Easthope

There is a new book out on the history of North Easthope, called The Hills of Home: North Easthope Township 1827-1997, edited by Dean Robinson. It's filled with good stuff! [How's that for a review... "filled with good stuff"? ;-)]

There is also a book called A History of North Easthope Pioneers from Perthshire, Scotland by Mary Louise McLennon.

There is a book covering both the Easthope townships in Vera McNichol's Reveries of a Pioneer series. There's more information on this series on my Perth County books page.


Pioneers

It's generally agreed that the first settler was David BELL, in 1832 at Shakespeare. There were several parties of settlers from Perthshire, Scotland, from which the county took its name. They arrived in 1832 and 1833.

Huron County Library has put online many assessment rolls for 1842. This is basically a list of residents of the area in 1842; it tells you who was living there and how much land they owned. Read their introduction first and then go to their North Easthope Township page.

See also the new Perth County Pioneers page for visitors' submissions of their pioneer info.
