Does anyone know the location of Lot 288 in (
Newark) NOL
I have a 1797 Loyalist Settlers of
Niagara Townhsip No 1 map - but the lot numbers only go to Lot 184.
My problem is as follows:
According to the Ontario Land Record Index, Alexander
MARKLE Sr.was granted land (no Lot mentionned) in
Niagara Twp. on 08 Oct 1796.
From what appear to be
Council Meeting notes, dated 4th Oct 1796' Alexr
MARKLE is granted Lot 102, town of
Newark on August 22d
However, Lot 102 was also granted to John
CLEMENT.
And then, in another
Council Meeting note dated 6 Feb 1822 it says "Alexander
MARKLE Senr. Stating that on the 24th January 1797 he was granted Lot No. 182 in the Town of
Niagara, that on applying for the Patent he was informed that the Lot had been granted to another person (the 1979 Map shows Peter
LAMPMAN associated with that Lot but not the OLRI) not described and praying that his case may be taken into consideration. Granted Lot No. 288."
