  Maps

  Map of Tyendinaga Twp., Hastings Co., Ontario, showing the farm of Charles Wright in 1878. The 1851 Agricultural Census shows Charles "Write" at Con. 5 Lot 39 and George Sexsmith at the same location. The 1878 Meacham Atlas shows Charles Wright still at the same location, and surrounding farms owned by sons of George Sexsmith. By censuses, it appears that George Wright and Wife Hannah VV-Wright lived here and farmed the property until shortly before their deaths.
