Talk:Prince Edward County, Ontario

Rewrite
I highly suggest that anyone with enough spare time and knowledge of the county should rewrite this as it sounds more like a brochure than a encyclopedia entry. Glandrid (talk) 23:51, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

More Native History Please
I'd love to see more pre-european history on this page. I was recently in PEC and I read at one of the museums that the area was a "nomansland" between warring tribes. I believe the two tribes were Huron and Iroquois, but I'm not sure. Anyways more of this kind of thing would be great. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.233.42.70 (talk) 01:30, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Hallowell, former ward in Prince Edward County
Hallowell, named after Benjamin Hallowell, eminent Loyalist, formerly of Boston. He was the father-in-law of Chief Justice John Elmsley.

The link on Benjamin Hallowell leads to two other people--neither of them Loyalists from Boston. And who was Chief Justice John Elmsley? Birth and death dates for these people wouldn't go amiss. --Oldontarian (talk) 18:30, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

"named after Benjamin Hallowell, eminent Loyalist, formerly of Boston. He was the father-in-law of Chief Justice John Elmsley."

1. The link for Benjamin Hallowell leads to two other men on the disambiguation page--neither of them was a Loyalist from Boston. 2. Who was Chief Justice John Elmsley? 3. Birth and death dates wouldn't go amiss. --Oldontarian (talk) 18:34, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

History
The first 'United Empire Loyalist' settlers landed, in Prinyer's Cove, in the 5th (Marysburgh) Township, in the fall of 1784. Here they 'drew lots' for selecting which piece of property they had been granted, by the British Government, of Upper Canada.

The 6th Township, of Sophiasburgh, and the 7th Township, of Ameliasburgh were settled in the same manner, in the following years, as the land surveys were completed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.64.169.15 (talk) 05:07, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
