| Notes
| Niagara Falls Heritage Foundation Government of Canada Local Initiatives Grant AK 2403-9 1974 - 1975 ; Research by George Seibel ; In 1765, Robert Rogers described this area "as being thinly timbered with lofty oaks, which at first view, one would be apt to think were artificially transposed." The Loyalist farmers' hogs throve so well on the acorn mast covering the floor of the oak forest that farmers often "killed them out of the woods, well fatted on nuts" excerpted from Mark of Honour by Hazel C Matthews, page 129 ; |
