2 Page i Stage 1 and 2 Archaeological Assessment of Tutela Heights Phase 1, Stuart & Ruggles Tract, EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Archaeological Services Inc. was retained by Walton Development and Management of Toronto, Ontario to undertake a Stage 1 and 2 archaeological assessment of Tutela Heights Phase 1, Stuart & Ruggles Tract, in the County of Brant, Township of Brantford, Ontario. The study area encompasses hectares and is located on the south side of Tutela Heights Road, west of Davern Road, east of Rue Chatueax Terrace and north of Phelps Road. The study area consists of cultivated fields and wooded lands. The background review of the study area revealed that no sites had been registered within the study area but that eighteen had been registered within one kilometre of the study area. A review of all available historical mapping and archival records indicated that the study area has been settled since the early nineteenth century. The study area was assessed at five metre intervals. All areas of disturbance were documented. During the course of the archaeological survey, three historical sites, one historic industrial site, one possible historic Aboriginal site, two historic findspots, 59 pre-contact sites and 85 pre-contact findspots were documented. Given the isolated and undiagnostic nature of P2 (AgHb-419), P3, P6, P8, P11, P12, P13, P14, P15, P16, P17, P19, P21, P22, P24, P25, P29, P31, P33 (AgHb-433), P34, P35, P36, P37, P43, P44, P45, P47, P48, P49, P50, P51 (AgHb-438), P52, P53 (AgHb-439), P54, P55, P56, P57, P59, P60, P61 (AgHb-441), P62, P63, P64, P69, P70, P71, P72, P74, P75, P76, P77, P78, P79, P80, P84, P85, P86, P87, P88, P89, P90, P91 (AgHb-447), P92 (AgHb-448), P99, P102, P104 (AgHb-457), P106, P109, P110, P111, P112, P113, P114, P115, P118, P119, P121, P123, P124, P125 (AgHb-464), P126, P128, P129, P131 (AgHb-466), P133, P134, P135, P137 (AgHb-469), P140, P142, P143, P144 and P145, these findspots do not represent significant archaeological resources and are considered to be free of any further archaeological concern. Given the isolated nature of H1 and H3, these findspots do not represent significant archaeological resources and are considered to be free of any further archaeological concern. Findspots P10, P30, P38, P66, P73, P94, P96, P122, P130 and P146, represent components that have yielded few artifacts, but appear to have highly focused distributions. Given this factor, it is recommended that these areas be subject to a revisit and if additional artifacts are encountered at each site, then those sites will be subject to Stage 3 investigation. If the revisits do not result in the recovery of any additional artifacts, recommendation will be made to clear those sites of further archaeological concern. Given the nature of the deposits at Euro-Canadian sites AgHb-416 and AgHb-417, these sites potentially represent significant archaeological resources. If these sites cannot be avoided in the development plan, they must be subject to a comprehensive Stage 3 assessment, in accordance with the Ministry of Tourism and Culture s Standards and Guidelines for Consulting Archaeologists (2009). Given the nature of the deposits and considering the property s land use history, the Blackers Brickworks site (AgHb-415) represents a potentially significant archaeological resource. If this site cannot be avoided in the development plan, it must be subject to a comprehensive Stage 3 assessment.

3 Page ii Site AgHb-413 represents a significant component of the Late Iroquoian and contact period history of Brantford. If this site cannot be avoided in the development plan, it must be subject to a comprehensive Stage 3 assessment. Sites P1 (AgHb-418), P5 (AgHb-421), P9 (AgHb-423), P18 (AgHb-424), P20 (AgHb-426), P23 (AgHb-427), P26 (AgHb-428), P27 (AgHb-429), P28 (AgHb-430), P32 (AgHb-432), P39 (AgHb-434), P40 (AgHb-435), P41 (AgHb-436), P42 (AgHb-437), P58 (AgHb-440), P65 (AgHb-442), P67 (AgHb-443), P68 (AgHb-444), P81 (AgHb-445), P83 (AgHb-446), P93 (AgHb-449), P108 (AgHb-459), P117 (AgHb-461), P136 (AgHb-468), P147 (AgHb-472), and P148 (AgHb-473) represent significant archaeological resources of potential high heritage value. If these sites cannot be avoided in the development plan, they must be subject to comprehensive Stage 3 assessment. The following sites are situated within areas to be protected and will not be subject to Stage 3 investigation: P4 (AgHb-420), P95 (AgHb-451), P97 (AgHb-452), P98 (AgHb-453), P100 (AgHb-454), P101 (AgHb-455), P103 (AgHb-456), P105 (AgHb-458), P116 (AgHb-460), P120 (AgHb-462), P121, P127 (AgHb- 465), P132 (AgHb-467), P138 (AgHb-470), P139 (AgHb-471) and Euro-Canadian site AgHb-414. The remainder of the subject property may be considered free from further archaeological concern.

14 Page INTRODUCTION Archaeological Services Inc. was retained by Walton Development and Management of Toronto, Ontario to undertake a Stage 1 and 2 archaeological assessment of Tutela Heights Phase 1, Stuart & Ruggles Tract, in the County of Brant, Township of Brantford, Ontario. The study area encompasses hectares and is located on the west side of the Grand River, south side of Tutela Heights Road, west of Davern Road, east of Rue Chatueax Terrace and north of Phelps Road (Figure 1). Figure 1: The location of the subject lands. NTS Sheet Markham 30 M/14, 1994 This assessment was conducted under the project direction of Ms. Debbie Steiss, under professional archaeological license P049 (MTC CIF P ) issued to Ms. Steiss in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act (R.S.O and 2005). The field assessment was conducted under the direction of Mr. Robert Wojtowicz. Ms. Beverly Garner was the project manager. Permission to access the subject lands was granted by Walton Development and Management of Toronto in April, 2010.

15 Page STAGE 1 BACKGROUND RESEARCH A Stage 1 archaeological assessment involves research to describe the known and potential archaeological resources within the vicinity of a study area. The background research for such an assessment incorporates a review of previous archaeological research, physiography, and nineteenth and twentieth-century development for the study area. Background research was completed to identify any archaeological sites in the study area and to assess its archaeological potential. 2.1 Previous Archaeological Research In order that an inventory of archaeological resources could be compiled for the study area, three sources of information were consulted: site record forms for registered sites housed at the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Culture (MTC); published and unpublished documentary sources, and the files of Archaeological Services Inc. In Ontario, information concerning archaeological sites is stored in the Ontario Archaeological Sites Database (O.A.S.D.), a database maintained by the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Culture. This database contains archaeological sites registered within the Borden system. Under the Borden system, Canada has been divided into grid blocks based on latitude and longitude. A Borden block is approximately 13 kilometres east to west, and approximately 18.5 kilometres north to south. Each Borden block is referenced by a four-letter designator, and sites within a block are numbered sequentially as they are found. The study area is located in Borden Block AgHb. No archaeological sites have been registered within the subject property; however, 18 sites have been registered within a one kilometre radius of the property. The information available about these sites has been summarized in Table 1. The cultural/temporal categories of Southern Ontario are outlined in Table 2.

The sands and silts that characterize the region were deposited as a delta within glacial Lakes Whittlesey and Warren (Chapman and Putnam 1984: ). Soils in the vicinity include Wilsonville, Fox and Caledon, all of which are well-drained soils from sandy parent material (Ontario Soil Survey n.d.). The local topography is complex due to the presence of numerous small tributaries which have dissected the Grand River flood plain. The Grand River watershed has long been recognized as an area that is exceptionally rich in archaeological remains dating back 11,000 years ago and continues to the present (ASI 1997). Due to the diversity and richness of its natural environment, the region in which the study area lies has attracted human habitation from the time of human s first entrance into Ontario (ASI 1997). Potable water is the single most important resource necessary for any extended human occupation or settlement. Since water sources have remained relatively stable in south-central Ontario after the Pleistocene era, proximity to water can be regarded as a useful index for the evaluation of archaeological site potential. Indeed, distance from water has been one of the most commonly used variables for predictive modeling of site location. Peoples would have been attracted to the creeks and water of the Grand River, especially during the spring, by the abundance of fish, as well as by other important aquatic resources. The MTC s Draft Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (2009:5) stipulates that primary water sources (lakes, rivers, streams, creeks, etc.), secondary water sources (intermittent streams and creeks, springs, marshes, swamps, etc.), ancient water sources (glacial lake shorelines indicated by the presence of raised sand or gravel beach ridges, relic river or stream channels indicated by clear dip or swale in the topography, shorelines of drained lakes or marshes, cobble beaches, etc.), as well as accessible or inaccessible shorelines (high bluffs, swamp or marsh fields by the edge of a lake, sandbars stretching into marsh, etc.) are characteristics that indicate archaeological potential. The study area is comprised of lands adjacent to the Grand River with several tributaries running across it.

17 Page 4 Other geographic characteristics that can indicate archaeological potential include: elevated topography (eskers, drumlins, large knolls, plateaux), pockets of well-drained sandy soil, especially near areas of heavy soil or rocky ground, distinctive land formations that might have been special or spiritual places, such as waterfalls, rock outcrops, caverns, mounds, and promontories and their bases. Resource areas are also considered to be characteristics that indicate archaeological potential (MTC 2009:5-6). Therefore, due to the proximity of a primary water source as well as topographic features conducive to site location, it may be concluded that there is potential for the recovery of archaeological remains within the study area depending on the degree of previous land disturbance. 2.3 Assessment of Historic Archaeological Potential: Summary Review of Historical Mapping The 1858 Tremaine Map of the County of Brant and the 1875 Illustrated Historical Atlas for Brant County were reviewed to determine the potential for finding historic archaeological remains within the study area. The study area is located within the former Township of Brantford, County of Brant and comprises of the Stuart & Ruggles Tract. The 1858 Tremaine Map of the County of Brant illustrates the west half of the study area as owned by Mr. R. Brooks and the east half as owned by Mr. E. Blacker. A small portion of the study area also extends into the southern most part of the adjacent property owned by Mr. J. Stewart. There are no structures illustrated within the study area. The study area fronts a historic transportation route of present day Tutela Heights Road. Figure 2: The study area superimposed on the 1858 Tremaine Map of the County of Brant.

18 Page 5 The 1875 Illustrated Historical Atlas of the County of Brant County indicates that the region had become more heavily settled by this time. The west half of the study area has been divided into two properties owned by Mr. W. Brooks and Mr. T Brooks. A homestead and orchard are illustrated on both Brooks properties in the northern portion of the property south of the road. The eastern portion of the study area remained under the ownership of Mr. E. Blacker. A house and orchard are illustrated in the northern portion of the property south of the road. At this time, a small portion of the study area still extended into Mr. Stewart property. It should be noted that not all features of interest were mapped systematically in the 1858 Tremaine Map and the 1875 Atlas, given that they were financed by subscription, and subscribers were given preference with regard to the level of detail provided on the maps. Moreover, not every feature of interest would have been within the scope of this atlas. Nevertheless, for the Euro-Canadian period, the majority of early nineteenth century farmsteads (i.e., those which are arguably the most potentially significant resources and whose locations are rarely recorded on nineteenth century maps) are likely to be captured by the basic proximity to the water model outlined above, since these occupations were subject to similar environmental constraints. An added factor is the development of the network of concession roads through the course of the nineteenth century. Figure 3: The study area superimposed on the 1875 Illustrated Historical Atlas of the County of Brant County. Accordingly, undisturbed lands within 100 metres of the early settlement roads may also be considered to have potential for the presence of Euro-Canadian archaeological sites, including the east-west roadway extending through the study area (modern day Tutela Height Road). The MTC s Draft Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (2009:6) stipulates that areas of early Euro-Canadian settlement (pioneer homesteads, isolated cabins, farmstead complexes), early wharf or dock complexes, pioneer churches and early cemeteries, are considered to have archaeological potential. There may be commemorative markers of their history, such as local, provincial, or federal monuments or heritage parks. Early historical transportation routes (trails, passes, roads, railways, portage routes), properties listed on a municipal register or designated under the Ontario Heritage Act or a federal, provincial, or municipal historic landmark or site, and properties that local histories or informants have identified with possible archaeological sites, historical events, activities, or occupations are also considered to have archaeological potential. Thus, based on the subject land s location adjacent to a historic transportation route, proximity to the Grand River and the historical farmsteads, there is potential for the identification of historical archaeological remains within the study area.

19 Page STAGE 2 FIELD ASSESSMENT The Stage 2 field assessment was carried out in order to inventory, identify and describe any archaeological resources extant on the subject property prior to development. The survey was conducted under the field direction of Mr. Robert Wojtowicz. The weather for the field days is summarized in Table 3. Table 3: Weather Conditions for the Stage 2 Field Assessment Date of Field Work Weather Conditions May 25 th, 2010 hot and clear May 31 st, 2010 hot with a mix of sun and clouds June 1 st, 2010 warm and clear June 2 nd, 2010 mild with a mix of sun and clouds June 4 th, 2010 mild and overcast June 7 th, 2010 mild and clear June 8 th, 2010 mild and clear June 10 th, 2010 overcast and light rain June 11 th, 2010 mild and overcast June 12 th, 2010 mild with a mix of sun and clouds The property comprises very undulating land. The majority of the land is cultivated agricultural fields (Plates 51 and 52), with fields divided by woodlots or lands covered by heavy vegetation (Plate 69). As a result of the varieties in vegetation cover, survey strategies varied accordingly. Field observations have been compiled on project mapping for the study area (Figures 4-6). Test Pit Survey Areas of potential within woodlots or other lands covered by heavy vegetation were test pitted at five metre intervals (Plates 1-4, 32-33, and 37-45). Each test pit was hand excavated into subsoil and all of the topsoil was screened through six millimetre screen to facilitate artifact recovery. Upon completion, all of the test pits were backfilled. Test pits excavated within the fallow field south of Rue Chatueax Terrace (Plates 47-49), revealed both disturbed and undisturbed soil profiles (Plate 50). The topsoil encountered consisted of dark reddish brown clay loam while the subsoil, consisted of light reddish brown clay. Test pits ranged in depth from 24 cm to 48 cm. Throughout this area, mottled soils were noted and the excavation of three test pits ceased due to the watertable. No artifacts were recovered in this area. The farm complex, located on Tutela Heights Road, was also subject to test pit survey at five metre intervals (Plates and 72-74). Several piles of building rubble and modern garbage have been deposited randomly throughout the farm complex (Plates 76-80). The complex features a modern brick house, a barn, three outbuildings, one demolished house/outbuilding foundation and a cement silo surrounded by a lawn area. Within the lawn around the modern house, soil profiles were a dark reddish brown clayey loam topsoil (25 cm deep on average) over light reddish brown clay (43 cm deep on average). Twelve positive test pits were excavated within this area (AgHb-416) which will be discussed in Section 3.1. Test pit excavations within the lawn around the northern edge of the barn (Plates 72-75), revealed soil profiles were layered with dark reddish brown clayey loam topsoil (26 cm deep on average) over light reddish brown

20 Page 7 clay (29 cm deep on average). Twelve positive test pits were excavated within this area (AgHb-417) which will be discussed in Section 3.1. Pedestrian Survey The balance of the study area consists of open agricultural lands (Plates 5-9). These lands had been ploughed and well weathered, and were subjected to a pedestrian survey at five metre intervals. The soils encountered in these fields consist of a clayey loam soil.

A historical site is evaluated based on the quantity of the material encountered (>20 artifacts) and the presence of diagnostic artifacts, such as refined white earthenware with an identifiable motif. Dates for pre-contact sites are determined by the form of the diagnostic lithics and pottery encountered and the archaeological culture to which they pertain (Table 1). AgHb-418 P1 Site AgHb-418 was encountered during pedestrian survey of an area of flat ploughed field overlooking a low wet area with a seasonal stream, southeast of the end of Rue Chateaux Terrace. This site is directly south of the SWM pond for the neighbouring subdivision. The lithic scatter extended approximately 18 m north-south and 29 m eastwest. A total of 26 artifacts was encountered on the surface and a representative sample of eight artifacts was collected from the site (Table 5). The artifact assemblage consists of one primary thinning flake manufactured from Lockport chert, one primary thinning flake, one secondary knapping flake and one piece of shatter manufactured from Onondaga chert, and one oval mid-stage biface fragment manufactured from Haldimand chert (Table 5, Plate 1). The biface fragment has the following dimensions: length, 41 mm; width, 26 mm; and thickness, 9 mm. These artifacts are not diagnostic of any particular temporal period or cultural affiliation. A UTM coordinate of 17T Plate 1: Biface (Cat.#L5) from AhGb-418 (P1) [NAD 27] for AgHb-418 was recorded using a handheld global positioning system (GPS) unit. The field crew examined a 20 m radius around the finds at one metre intervals; no additional artifacts were found. Given the size and density of the surface scatter, it is recommended that AgHb-418 be subjected to a Stage 3 assessment.

A UTM coordinate of 17T [NAD 27] was established at the centre of the scatter using a handheld global positioning system (GPS) unit. A total of three artifacts was collected from the scatter (Table 152, Plate 43). The artifact assemblage collected during the Stage 2 survey of the AgHb-415 consists of two machine cut nails ( ) and an indeterminate light green container glass sherd. Given the history of the site discussed in Sections and 4.3.6, it is recommended that AgHb-415 be subjected to a Stage 3 assessment.

The site extended approximately 37 m north-south and

98 Page m east-west. A UTM co-ordinate of 17T [NAD 27] was established at the centre of the site. The site was first encountered during the test pit survey of this grassed area. The terrain is relatively flat. Wherever a positive test pit was encountered during the five metre interval survey of the area, the positive test pit was encircled with an additional eight test pits at a radius of one metre. A total of 71 artifacts was collected from 11 positive test pits (Appendix C - Table 3, Plate 44). Topsoils consisted of a dark reddish brown clayey loam that ranged in depth from 34 cm to 54 cm deep. The subsoil was noted to be light reddish brown clay. Additionally, the field crew noted a scatter of artifacts in the agricultural fields bounding the house to the north and south. An additional 25 artifacts, 10 from the north field and 15 from the south field were collected (Appendix C - Table 3). The material culture recovered during the Stage 2 survey of AgHb-416 included RWE, Ironstone, Semiporcelain and Bone China ceramics which are typical of a mid nineteenth century to early twentieth century occupation. The test pits also included, window glass, brick fragments, colourless glass container fragments and coloured glass tableware as well as hand wrought (pre-1830s), machine cut ( ) and wire (post 1890) nails. The historical material from this site dates from the early nineteenth to early twentieth century.

100 Page Review of Historic Features indicated on the 1875 Illustrated Historical Atlas of the County of Brant County As outlined in Section 2.3, a number of historic homesteads are indicated within the boundary of the study area. The location of the T. Brooks homestead within the northern portion of the property may correspond to the site AgHb-413. The E. Blacker homestead located along the eastern boundary of the property may correspond to the AgHb-416 site. Although not illustrated on the Historical Atlas, further archival research has indicated a number of other significant historic features such as Blacker Brickworks. Furthermore, the archival research documents later Aboriginal occupation and use of the study area lands. This will be discussed in Section LAND USE HISTORY The study area lands are located within the Stewart and Ruggles Tract on the west side of the Grand River in the City of Brantford. The study area is situated in the former Township of Brantford, in the County of Brant. This land has been converted to the POLARIS system, and it now comprises lands in Block Prior to , the area around Brantford had been inhabited by the Neutral Indians. Their principal village, said to have been named Kandoucho, was probably on or in the vicinity of the site of the present-day City of Brantford. It was undoubtedly destroyed by the Iroquois sometime between 1649 and 1651 (Mika 1977:252). 4.1 Administrative and Survey History Brant was not one of the original counties established in Upper Canada during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It formed part of the old Western District between 1788 and Thereafter for electoral, municipal and judicial purposes, portions of it belonged to the Niagara, London and Home Districts from 1798 until Between 1816 and 1837, Brant comprised part of the Gore and London Districts, and then it was attached to the Gore and Brock Districts from 1837 until Brant was elevated to independent County status through legislation passed in 1851 (14 & 15 Vic. ch. 5). It was initially united with Wentworth and Halton for municipal and judicial purposes, but separated from this union in At various times, parts of Brantford belonged to the West Riding of York, and to the Counties of Halton, Haldimand, Wentworth and Oxford (Gardiner 1899:289; Mika 1977:252, 256; Armstrong 1985:151; Jonasson 2006:202).. The area upon which Brantford Township was laid out formed part of a tract of land six miles wide on either side of the Ouse or Grand River, which extended from its source to its mouth. This land was granted to the Six Nations as a safe and comfortable retreat for them by Governor Frederick Haldimand on October 25, This grant was made partly in consideration of their Loyalty and services during the American Revolutionary War, and also on account of the subsequent loss of their ancestral territory in Western New York State. This land surrender was later referred to as Treaty No Additional treaties (numbers 3 and 4) which confirmed this land to the Six Nations were made in December 1792 and January 1793 respectively (Indian Treaties vol. 1 pp. 5, 9, 251). One of the earliest published Gazetteers covering Upper Canada in detail referred to the Mohawk Village on the Ouse. It was described as the chief settlement of the six nations of Indians; Captain Brant, one of the chiefs, resides in this village. The situation is handsome; the Indians have here a church and school, both supported by the British government. In the late 1790s, this settlement contained both a gristmill and a sawmill, as well as a council house and blacksmith shop (Smith 1799:56, ; Boulton 1805:84).

101 Page 88 Brant County and Brantford Township were named in honour of the famous Mohawk Chief Joseph Brant or Thayendanegea ( ), who was born along the Ohio River. Brant was a valuable native ally to the British during the American Revolutionary War. He collected funds for the Mohawk Chapel, which was constructed in Brant also translated the Gospel of Mark and the Book of Common Prayer into Mohawk. He died at the Head of the Lake at Burlington, then known as Wellington Square, where a replica of his original dwelling has been constructed. Brant was buried in the churchyard of the Mohawk Chapel. The Township is said to have received its name around 1825, and was called Brant s Ford on account of a boom which was thrown across the river at this crossing point (Gardiner 1899:291; Mika 1977:252, 256; Rayburn 1997:42). 1 Much of the area covered by Brantford Township was not formally surveyed until , when this task was undertaken by Lewis Burwell. The majority of the early legal Euro-Canadian settlers did not take up their land holdings until the 1830s. Several additional surveys followed in the years between 1833 and The town site of Brantford was not surrendered to the Crown until 1830, when the first survey was also undertaken by Lewis Burwell. In the 1840s, a canal was constructed by the Grand River Navigation Company which linked Brantford with Lake Erie. The city thus became the head of navigation along the Grand for any of the larger ships which sailed upon the upper Great Lakes (Mika 1977: ; Armstrong 1985:141; Winearls 1991: ). The soil was described as varied by a nineteenth century observer. On the west side of the river it was situated in the oak plains, containing plain land, sandy soil and fairly productive, with much stronger soil inclined to clay in the west of the township. On the whole, this township embraces a very fine tract of country (Page & Smith 1875:xv). In 1846, about 72% of the available land in Brantford Township was taken up and was under cultivation, assessed at 114,437. Farm land could be purchased in Brantford for about $30 or $40 per acre in the midnineteenth century. This fine township then contained numerous well cultivated farms. The land on the west side of Brantford was classified as oak plains, which was light land, easy of cultivation. It was observed that under proper management the land in Brantford produced superior wheat. This was mainly due to the readily available local supply of plaster or lime which was used for sweetening the ground. The township contained six grist mills and six saw mills in the early 1840s. The population in 1841 numbered approximately 5,199 (Smith 1846:19; Smith 1851:240). 4.2 Stewart and Ruggles Tract The Stewart and Ruggles Tract, a parcel of land containing at least 1,400 acres, was first patented by Jemima Stewart and Sarah Ruggles on June 25, It was named by the surveyors, and for the purposes of Land Registry, after the names of these patentees (Brantford Township Abstract Index to Deeds, vol. C p. 183). It was erroneously stated in a newspaper article which appeared in 1949, that this tract was named after Captain Stewart and Captain Ruggles, loyal colonial miltia officers who had lost all their holdings as the result of the American revolution and, on coming to Canada, were recompensed by the Crown with a grant of 600 acres each (Waldie 1952:66). 1 Other sources claim the name Brantford was not officially conferred on the Township until It is said that alternative names suggested for Brantford included Biggar s Town and Lewisville, but this probably referred to the town rather than the township (Gardiner 1899:291; Rayburn 1997:42). 2 The Oxbow Tract was surveyed by William Walker in 1842, the survey of the Burch Tract was altered by Walker in 1843, the Kerr Tract was surveyed by Burwell in 1845, the Eagles Nest Tract by Walker (1845), the Brant Tract by Burwell and David Thorburn (1848), and two minor surveys containing the residue of the township were made in 1849 and 1853 (see Winearls 1991: ).

102 Page 89 Stewart and Ruggles were sisters by birth. Their grandfather was Sir William Johnson (ca ), the Irish born Indian superintendent, who settled in the Mohawk Valley of New York State at his home called Johnson Hall. Their grandmother was simply referred to as an Indian woman. Their son was named Kaghneghtaga (ca 1748-March 1818), although he was also known as Young Brant and also as Cognac Johnson. Kaghneghtaga was married to a white woman said to have been named Margaret Campbell, and they had at least four daughters, Eliza, Mary, Jemima and Sarah. Young Brant seems to have later resided for a time at Canajoharie, but died at the Grand River. His wife may have been dead by 1783, since she was not listed in the family grouping on the census taken at Niagara in that year. Note that many sources erroneously claim that the girls were actually the daughters of Molly Brant. Jemima Johnson was born in New York State around 1766, and her sister Sarah was born several years later around Their father was mentioned in contemporary records as a Lieutenant in the Indian Department. The family was enumerated in a census of Loyalists residing at Niagara, which probably meant Fort Niagara, on December 1, They appear to have brought two servants with them, one was a man simply referred to as James, and the other was recorded on this census as a negro woman. The sisters presented a petition to the Executive Council in June 1793, praying for lands located by their father in 1785, which have since been assigned by their father for their use. In 1796, the Johnson sisters petition for their father s 2000 acres was confirmed to them, and an additional 800 acres to each sister in consideration of their personal merits (Fraser 1930:34; Fraser 1931:76; Taylor 1992:14). Jemima Johnson was married at St. Mark s (Anglican) Church at Niagara to Alexander Stewart on December 7, They were to raise a family of three sons and three daughters, who were born at Niagara between 1797 and Their youngest son was named Brant Johnson Stewart, who was baptized by the Reverend Robert Addison at St. Mark s on April 28, 1811 (St. Mark s Anglican Church Register, Weddings Niagara 1796 and Baptisms Niagara 1811; Reid 1973:164, 309). Alexander Stewart was a Loyalist who had served as a Lieutenant in Colonel Thomson s Regiment in the Royal American Dragoons during the American Revolutionary War. 3 After the end of the War, he sought refuge in New Brunswick, but he had settled permanently in Niagara sometime during the mid-1790s. Alexander Stewart petitioned the Executive Council for lands in July 1796, in which he stated that he had received 500 acres in New Brunswick, but prayed for an additional 1000 acres. This was granted to him, as well as a town lot at Niagara which he was granted in May By later in that same year, Stewart was acting as a trustee on behalf of the Six Nations, empowered to receive mortgage money and other securities for them from the sale of their lands. Joseph Brant was curiously amused with Stewart s views that certain obstacles existed which might have prevented the sales of these lands. 4 Stewart was admitted to the Law Society of Upper Canada as a barrister at their first meeting at Niagara in Trinity term Stewart became a member of the first Freemason s Lodge at Niagara in 1797, and served as treasurer for that fraternal organization. The family dwelling house appears to have been situated at the corner of Prideaux and Regent Streets. The land may have originally been leased or rented as early as 1800, when he secured a mortgage for these premises. He built what must have been a substantial house on this property, which was unfortunately destroyed when the American troops burned the Town of Niagara in December Stewart does not appear to have taken any active role in the early campaigns in the War of 1812, nor did he live to see the Town of Niagara captured and his house burned, since he died and was buried at St. Mark s on February 3, Letters Probate in his estate were filed in the Surrogate Court for Lincoln County in 1816 (Old UEL List 1885:260; St. Mark s Anglican Church Register, Burials Niagara 1813; Robertson 1900:363; Fitzgerald 1993:189, 198, 212.) 3 Note that in some sources he was referred to as Captain Stewart. 4 Brant s amusement centered around the fact that Stewart insisted that the deeds conveying Indian lands to settlers along the Grand River required the signature of the old women of the Six Nations, a thing quite strange and new to us (Cruikshank 1935: 105).

103 Page 90 Mrs. Stewart submitted a War Losses claim for this house which amounted to 500, but she received just ¾ for her claim. During the war, Mrs. Stewart was awarded 25 by the Loyal and Patriotic Society, due to the fact that she and her large family were considered to be in great distress. She and her young children went to live at the home of her sister and brother-in-law, Elizabeth and Ralfe Clench. This house was one of the few which had escaped the burning of the Town due to the fact that it was laundry day and water had been drawn into the house for that purpose. This building stood until the spring of 1814 with nineteen inhabitants under its roof, when it, too, was accidentally burned leaving both families homeless. In 1818, Mrs. Stewart purchased the corner property at King and Prideaux Streets from the owner, Augustus Jones. Her son, Alexander Stewart Jr., built the finely arcaded brick house in 1830, which still stands at this spot numbered 42 Prideaux Street. Presumably Mrs. Stewart also lived in this house with her son and daughter-in-law. Jemima Stewart died at the residence of her sister and brother-in-law, Dr. John J. Lafferty, at Drummondville (now part of the City of Niagara Falls) on December 26, She was probably buried in St. Mark s Churchyard in Niagara-on-the- Lake, although neither her grave nor that of her husband appears to have ever been marked. The large Johnson, Clench, Claus and Kerr family plot is located in the north-west quarter of the churchyard (Gray 1817:272, 298, 380, 396; Carnochan 1914:40, 108; Cruikshank 1931: 211, 226; Fraser 1931:36, 138; Cruikshank 1935:42; Johnston 1964:98ff; Stokes 1971:20-21; Armstrong 1985:128). Less information is known about Sarah Johnson. She was also born in New York State probably around She was named in a census of Loyalists, living with her father and sisters at Fort Niagara in December There are no records which referred to her in the Niagara area after that time, which raises the possibility that she may have opted to live amongst the Six Nations people on the Grand River. She was married in Ancaster to William Ruggles, or Rougles, a shoemaker who resided in nearby Burford Township, on January 23, Witnesses to the event were William Knoll, a yeoman of Ancaster, and George Rousseaux, innkeeper at Ancaster, and son of the late merchant and Indian interpreter Jean Baptiste Rousseaux. There appear to have been no children from this union. Ruggles himself died at the Mohawk Village near Brantford in April 1831, and was buried there on April 24 th. His death notice was published in the Christian Guardian newspaper. Based upon evidence contained in the Brantford Township Abstract Index to deeds, we know that Sarah Ruggles died sometime between May and December At this time Elizabeth Johnson Clench, inherited 150 acres of land in the Stewart and Ruggles tract from Sarah s estate (Christian Guardian May 7, 1831; Brantford Memorial deed #126; Wilson 1985:76). There appears to be a very early reference to the Stewart and Ruggles Tract in a Resolution made by the Six Nations Council at the Onondaga Village on March 1, An American land speculator and settler named Benaijah Mallory (d. 1814) pretended to have a claim against part of the Six Nations lands. His claim was disallowed by the council as we know nothing about it. The resolution continued: there is farms marked out along the River for the children of Dr. Kerr along the river, and also for the children of Kaghneghtaghno this we allow of because we were made acquainted with it. This must clearly be a reference to Brant Johnson and his children (Johnston 1964:110). Jemima Stewart and Sarah Ruggles sold or conveyed a significant portion of their interest in this Tract to Johnson Stewart by means of an undated deed. This is probably none other than Brant Johnson Stewart, son of Jemima and Alexander Stewart, who was born at Niagara in Other instruments registered slightly later suggest that this conveyance was made in the latter part of 1835, and certainly before January Stewart mortgaged his lands at this time in favour of the Niagara merchant Samuel Street (Brantford Memorial deeds #2138, 2279). Johnson Stewart was born at Niagara, either in late 1810 or early 1811, since he was baptized in April of There are few details of his early life, although we know that he was confirmed at St. Mark s, Niagara, in September The abstract index to deeds for Brantford Township suggests that Stewart was married sometime between July 1840 and June 1844, since deeds from the earlier year were executed by him alone, but

104 Page 91 in those deeds registered in the latter year his wife signed in order to bar her dower. He was named in the Brantford Township census of as a gentleman who was born in Upper Canada. He was a member of the Church of England. His wife was named Mary (b. ca 1825), and they had four children named Alexander (b. ca 1844), Jemima (b. ca 1846), Mary (b. ca 1848) and Huron (b. ca 1850). The remainder of the household consisted of two servants or labourers named Margaret and George Taylor, as well as a possible relative named Ella Stewart who was born about 1824 (1851 Brantford census North Ward p. 7). During the 1860s, the township assessment rolls recorded him as a farmer and yeoman. He was listed among the local militia reseves in The abstract index to deeds shows that Stewart was still alive as late as July He was not enumerated in any census returns after This suggests that he either died or moved away from the area sometime between 1875, when his name last appeared in the abstract index, and the next census of In November 1839, Johnson Stewart transferred title to 400 acres of this tract of land to his sisters, Margaret and Elizabeth Clench Stewart. He made a further conveyance to them for an additional 300 acres in December There appears to have been some dispute over a 140 acre parcel of this land, since a Chancery certificate was registered on title in January 1860 (Brantford Memorial deeds #802, 154 and 1703). Little information is known about the sisters. Margaret was born at Niagara, and baptized by Rev. Addison at St. Mark s on March 8, She submitted a petition to the Executive Council for a grant of land as the daughter of a Loyalist (DUE), for which an order-in-council was issued in February There is no baptismal record for Elizabeth Clench Stewart. She was probably born sometime between 1805 and 1809, and falls in neatly between the known birthdates of the other children. She also applied for land as a DUE, for which an order-incouncil was issued in late February Both the sisters were still alive in November 1863, when they sold a 110 acre parcel of land to Anne Claus, who was probably the wife of their nephew, H.D. Claus. Margaret may have been living in the town of Niagara as late as Both sisters may have been buried at St. Mark s Church in the large family plot in the north-west quarter of the cemetrey, which contains the graves of other members of the extended Johnson, Kerr, Stewart, Clench and Claus families (St. Mark s Anglican Church Register, Baptisms Niagara 1801; Reid 1973: 309; Brantford Memorial deed #2736). 4.3 History of Study Area Tutela (Tutelo) Heights The lands along the Grand River containing the study area originally formed part of the territory occupied by the Tutelo people. This was a small group of Siouan natives, who had originally settled in the area of West Virginia, Kentucky and North Carolina. They were gradually forced off of their ancestral lands, and by 1753 they had migrated northwards into New York State where they were adopted as part of the Cayuga tribe. A small band of the Tutelos came into Upper Canada as Loyalists with the other Six Nations. A census of the natives along the Grand River showed that there were 55 Upper Tootalies and 19 Lower Tootalies settled here in An Indian Census of 1810 showed 53 Upper and 29 Lower Tootelies. In 1811, these numbers had changed to 64 Upper and 41 Lower Tutelos. In June 1813, it is known that sixteen Tutaleys were present at the Battle of Beaverdams, although Captain Kerr only noted four Tutelos at Beaverdams in his official return. A map of Brantford, compiled by the Reverend Robert Lugger in February 1828, showed the Upper Cayugas settled here at a place called Tatulis Heights. It is reported that the Tutelos were nearly exterminated in an epidemic of Asiatic cholera in By 1843, the Upper Cayuga village was described as now deserted and the total population of Tutelos was a mere 40 included in the Upper Cayuga return. The Tutelo longhouse or council house is said to have once stood opposite the later site of the Bell Homestead and a few yards to the southwest, and that a Tutelo burial ground was located in a sand knoll a few hundred yards southeast of the homestead. The land here was originally covered with gigantic trees, mostly elm and sycamore, some with

105 Page 92 only a small tuft of branches at the top, in which eagles and wood ducks or mergansers used to nest (Waldie 1952:66; Johnston 1964:52, 203, 205, 281, 307) R. Brooks Farm Richard Brooks was the owner of more than 200 acres of land in the Stewart and Ruggles Tract. His first purchase, containing about 60 acres, was made from Johnson Stewart in July He purchased an additional 53 acres from the Stewart sisters in May 1845, and another 70 acres was bought from the sisters in May In 1859, he acquired another 50 acres from the estate of Joseph Noles. Noles had purchased his property from Sarah Ruggles during the 1830s and 1840s (Brantford Memorial deeds #80, 457, 53 and 3425). Brooks (b. ca 1807) was a native of England. He had settled in Upper Canada as a farmer with his wife, Eliza (b. ca 1809), sometime around By , their family consisted of six children aged between six and sixteen years, and Joseph Brooks (possibly the family patriarch) who was aged 66. The family belonged to the Scotch Independent Church. The family employed two servants or labourers, named Rugan McGowan and Rebecca Perry (1851 Brantford census division 2 p. 8). In 1855, for example, the Brooks farm was assessed at $1200, with an additional $100 in personal property. Brooks was required to perform 10 days statute labour (road work) for the township based on this assessment. By 1860, Brooks must have cleared much more of his farm and perhaps built a better house, since his assessment had jumped to $5200 with an additional $400 in personal property. The assessed value of his farm had decreased slightly by 1865, but this may be explained due to the fact that he had sold or leased away about 50 acres of his farm, which was now valued at just $4000 (Brantford Township Assessment Rolls, Ward 2, 1855, 1860, 1865.) In 1871, the census noted that the widower Richard Brooks resided on this land with three of his adult children, Ann, Richard and William. The agricultural census showed that they owned 185 acres, of which 110 acres was improved, 12 acres was under pasture and three acres contained orchards or gardens. The Brooks farm produced fall and spring wheat, barley, oats, peas, corn, potatoes, turnips, carrots and apples, as well as hay and some firewood. The livestock consisted of horses, colts, milch cows, other horned cattle, pigs and sheep. Additional farm produce consisted of butter, wool, and barrels of cured beef, mutton and pork. In addition to the family residence and farm buildings, the chattels included two reapers, a horse rake, a fanning mill and ploughs. By 1881, Brooks resided with just his adult daughter, Annie (b. 1841). He appears to have died during the 1880s, since his name was no longer enumerated in the 1891 census (1871 Brantford census, division C2 p. 38; 1881 census division 2 p. 30). The Tremaine map of Brantford showed that this property was in the possession of R. Brooks. Unfortunately, this particular Tremaine map did not show the location of any structures, only the boundaries of the individual farm lots. By the mid-1870s, this farm had been divided into equal halves, which were in the hands of W. and T. Brooks. This land had been sold by Brooks to his sons, in By 1901, Richard Brooks Jr. was enumerated as the head of this household. His immediate family consisted of his adult sister, Annie, his wife Margaret (b. 1845) and son Charles (b. 1883). By 1911, Charles was no longer enumerated in the census as a member of this household. The Brooks family at that time consisted of Richard and Margaret, as well as four members of the Anders family who were described as boarders (1901 Census, division B6 p. 7; 1911 Census, division 12 p. 11).

Brooks Farm The Brantford abstract index indicates that William Brooks purchased 50 acres from his father, Richard Brooks, in December Unfortunately, no agricultural census returns were preserved after 1871; therefore no complete picture of the kind of crops grown and livestock that would have been raised on this land during the fourth quarter of the nineteenth century can be gleamed (Brantford deeds #6123). This farm contained a house and rear orchard in the 1870s. Based upon the scale and accuracy of the map of Brantford published in the Page and Smith Atlas (1875), the house would have been situated approximately feet distant from the Tutela Heights Road T. Brooks Farm The Brantford abstract index indicates that Thomas Brooks purchased 50 acres from Richard Brooks in December Unfortunately, no agricultural census returns were preserved after 1871; therefore no complete picture of the kind of agricultural activities that would have been carried out on this land during the fourth quarter of the nineteenth century can be gleamed (Brantford deeds #6124). Brooks had leased part of this land prior to the time of his purchase of the farm, since he was enumerated in the township assessment rolls during the 1860s. In 1865, for example, the 57 acre Thomas Brooks farm was assessed at $1710, with an additional $200 in personal property. Brooks was required to perform 5 days statute labour (road work) for the township based on this assessment. This roll also noted that he was a private (2 nd class) in the local militia (Brantford Township Assessment Rolls, Ward 2, 1865.) This farm contained a house and rear orchard in the 1870s. Based upon the scale and accuracy of the map of Brantford published in the Page and Smith Atlas (1875), the house would have been situated approximately 620 feet distant from the Tutela Heights Road. The 1891 census named Thomas Brooks (b. June 1836), farmer, as the head of the household. His wife, Sarah (b. August 1838) was a native of England. Their family consisted of four sons, John (1864), Richard (1865), Edgar (1870) and William (1877). By 1901, all of the boys remained at home with the exception of Edgar. A servant, Emma Worthington, was also enumerated as a member of the household (1891 Brantford census, division A1 pp ; 1901 census, division B6 p. 6) E. Blacker Farm This property, containing about 130 acres, was purchased by Edward Blacker from Margaret and Elizabeth Clench Stewart in May A smaller parcel, containing slightly more than eight acres, was purchased by Blacker from the Stewart sisters in November 1858 (Brantford Memorial deeds #55, 1614). Edward Blacker (b. ca 1808) was a native of England. He settled in Brantford as a farmer with his wife, Margaret, sometime before By , the family consisted of six young children between the ages of two and eight years. The family belonged to the Independent Church. Blacker employed a hired man named Edward Simpson, who was also a native of England. In 1865, Blacker was on the local militia reserves listing. 5 Thomas Brooks purchased sixty acres from his father at an earlier date, in March 1866 (Brantford deed #3440). Considering that the brothers obtained title to an equal amount of land on consecutively registered deeds in 1873, it seems likely that these deeds covered the study area lands, which were contiguous or adjoining parcels. A subsequent deed was registered on title in 1887, for four additional smaller parcels which Thomas bought within the Stewart and Ruggles and Tract. In 1897, the will of Richard Brooks was registered on title, by which Thomas and Richard Brooks Jr. inherited some additional smaller parcels of land (Brantford deeds #11998 and 16834).

107 Page 94 In 1855, for example, the Blacker farm was assessed at $800, with an additional $100 in personal property. Blacker was required to perform 11 days statute labour (road work) for the township based on this assessment. By 1860, Blacker must have cleared much more of his farm and perhaps built a better house, since his assessment had jumped to $3660 with an additional $400 in personal property. The rolls show that Blacker owned a dog at that time. The assessed value of his farm had decreased slightly by 1865, but this may be explained due to the fact that he had sold or leased away about 8 acres of his farm, which was now valued at just $ (Brantford Township Assessment Rolls, Ward 2, 1855, 1860, 1865.) The Tremaine map of Brantford (1858) showed that this property was in the possession of E. Blacker. Unfortunately, this particular Tremaine map did not show the location of any structures, only the boundaries of the individual farm lots. Other records show that this farm contained a house and front orchard in the 1870s. Based upon the scale and accuracy of the map of Brantford published in the Page and Smith Atlas (1875), the house would have been situated approximately feet distant from the Tutela Heights Road. Beyond this, further towards the middle portion of the farm, there was also a brickyard which stood about 2475 feet away from the road. In 1871, the household consisted of Blacker and his wife, four adult children (John, Edward, Mary and Annie), and two hired labourers named William and Thomas Tomlinson. Blacker owned 122 acres, which included a house and farm buildings. The family possessed several wagons, carriages and ploughs, as well as other chattels such as a reaper, horse rake, threshing machine and fanning mill. On their farm, sixty acres of land was cultivated, as well as pasture land and orchard and garden plots. The farm produce was strictly limited to fall wheat, peas and apples. Livestock consisted of horses, colts, milch cows, horned cattle, sheep, pigs and two hives of bees. Additional farm produce included barrels of cured beef and pork, forty pounds of honey, butter, wool, flannel cloth, and a substantial amount of firewood (250 cords). Perhaps the firewood was used in connection with the firing of bricks at the Blacker brickyard (1871 census, division C3 p. 65). Edward continued to farm until the early 1890s. During this time he lived with his adult daughter Annie, his wife having predeceased him in the 1880s (1851 Brantford census, division 2 pp. 7-8; 1881 census, division 3 p. 34; 1891 census, division A1 p. 15). Blacker died sometime after the census was taken in April 1891, but before November His sons, Edward Jr. and Robert, inherited the real property of the estate through their father s will, which was dated December 1890 and registered on title in November 1894 (Brantford deed #15663). By 1901, the census enumerated Edward Blacker Jr. (b. 1844) as the head of the family. The remainder of the household consisted of his siblings, Mary (b. 1847), Annie (b. 1848) and William (b. 1850), as well as a domestic named Alma Williams (1901 Brantford census, division B6 p. 7) Blacker Brickyard The Blacker Brickyard appears to have been operational during the 1870s and 1880s. It was in existence and noted in the 1871 Census for Brantford Township. The business consisted of $1,000 in fixed capital and a further $1,000 floating capital. It employed ten men for eight months of the year, with aggregate wages of $1,600. The brickyard consumed $500 worth of clay and sand, and produced $3,800 worth of bricks annually. The brickyard was clearly shown on the 1875 map of Brantford. In May 1888, two parcels of land containing the brick works (on 13½ acres) was deeded by Robert Blacker to the Blacker Brick Co. This same property was

108 Page 95 later re-conveyed to Annie Blacker in December 1895 (1871 Brantford census, division 3 schedule 6; Page and Smith 1875; Brantford deeds #12707, 16218). Plate 48: Schedule 6 Return of Industrial Establishments (Brantford Township Census 1871), showing data for the Blacker Brick Yard second item from the bottom J. Stewart Farm This farm undoubtedly formed part of the residue of the lands once owned by Brant Johnson Stewart, which had been purchased by him from his mother and aunt Sarah in about The Tremaine map of Brantford (1858) showed that this property remained in the possession of J. Stewart. Unfortunately, this particular Tremaine map did not show the location of any structures, only the boundaries of the individual farm lots. In 1860, for example, the 86 acre Stewart farm was assessed at $2580. Stewart was required to perform 6 days statute labour (road work) for the township based on this assessment. The assessed value of his farm had decreased slightly by 1865, but this may be explained due to the fact that he had sold or leased away about 3 acres of his farm, which was now valued at just $2400. The rolls note that the Stewart family owned a dog at that time (Brantford Township Assessment Rolls, Ward 2, 1860, 1865.) The rear portion of the Stewart farm, contained within the boundaries of the study area, does not appear to have had any standing structures according to the Page and Smith map of This is in contradiction to eyewitness accounts, which noted that Captain Stewart s dwelling house and farm buildings were located across the road from the Bell Homestead about 500 yards back from the road. In more recent years a brick house had been built.

109 Page 96 Captain Stewart s old barn was destroyed by fire a few years ago while John Collard owned the property (Waldie 1952:66). 4.4 Summary of Land Use Hisotry The study area lands situated on Tutela Heights Road contains a long history. Lands on either side of the Grand River would have been utilized by the First Nations people for hunting and agrarian purposes long before the arrival of Europeans in southern Ontario. The land on either side of the Grand River took on additional significance in 1783, when a strip on both banks was reserved to the Six Nations on account of their Loyalty and loss of their native homeland in Western New York following the end of the American Revolutionary War. Maps from the early nineteenth century showed that this land was occupied by the Tutelos, a tribe that had migrated to New York State in the 1750s and had been adopted by the Cayugas. Tradition relates that the Tutelos had built a council house across the road from the Bell homestead during the mid-to-late 1780s, and that there may have been a Tutelo burial place located nearby. The burial place referred to may have been established during the early 1830s, since it is said that the Tutelos suffered heavily during the cholera epidemics which swept Upper Canada at that time. The study area lands appear to have been granted or otherwise allotted to Brant Johnson, and by the 1790s his daughters had petitioned the Executive Council for this land in their own right. A resolution passed by the Six Nations in , seemed to recognize the legitimate claim that these young women had against this land. There are few surviving records for Brantford Township during the first quarter of the nineteenth century. It is not known if this land remained in a wild and uncultivated state, or if it was utilized for agricultural purposes. The land was patented by sisters Jemima Johnson and Sarah Ruggles, grand-daughters of Sir William Johnson, in 1835, and was almost immediately sold to Brant Johnson Stewart. The land was divided into parcels and part sold to Margaret and Eliza Clench Stewart, who were the sisters of Johnson Stewart. They continued to subdivide this tract of land, and to sell farm lots to Euro-Canadian settlers, from the 1830s until well into the 1860s. From the 1850s until the 1870s, the type of farming that was carried out on this land is known based upon the decennial agricultural census returns. The farms within the study area belonged to the Brooks, Blacker and Stewart families. Mixed agriculture was carried out here. This included the raising of livestock, and the growing of various fruit, cereal and root crops. Although agricultural returns were collected by the census enumerators, they were used for aggregate statistical purposes and not retained after The township assessment rolls did not record information regarding farm production in as much detail as the census, and are of very limited use. The Stewart farm was undoubtedly leased to tenant farmers, since Johnson Stewart himself was a resident in the Town of Brantford and described in the census returns as a gentleman. The dwelling houses and associated farm buildings which were located on this land probably dated from the second and third quarters of the nineteenth century. The Blacker brickyard at this site was documented as being in existence between ca 1871 and It may have been in existence during the 1860s, and perhaps remained in business until the mid-1890s. The operation appears to have occupied about 13 acres of land within the Stewart and Ruggles Tract. It operated for about eight months in each year, and provided employment for ten men. This business is thought to have primarily been engaged in the production of bricks, although it is not impossible that other wares may have also been manufactured by the firm such as clay drainage pipes or clay pots.

110 Page CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The research carried out as part of the Stage 1 and 2 archaeological assessment of the Tutela Heights Phase 1 Stuart and Ruggles Tract, County of Brant, City of Brantford determined that no archaeological sites had been registered within the study area and that 18 sites had been registered within one kilometre of the study area. Review of the general physiography of the study area and nineteenth-century mapping suggested that the study area exhibits potential for the presence of pre-contact and Euro-Canadian archaeological resources in those locales that have not been disturbed by recent land uses. Three historic homesteads are shown on the 1875 Illustrated Historical Atlas of the County of Brant County. The Stage 2 field assessment of the property involved a pedestrian and test pit survey of all areas deemed to have archaeological potential. Areas of disturbance were documented. In the course of the Stage 2 field assessment, three historical sites, one historical industrial site, one possible historic Aboriginal site, two historical findspots, 59 pre-contact sites and 85 pre-contact findspots have been documented (Table 4). The 68 sites have been registered in the OASD. The archival research documents the establishment of a settlement within the study area lands by the Tutelos, an Aboriginal tribe that had migrated to Upper Canada as Loyalists with the other Six Nations, in By 1843, the Tutelos settlement is no longer present. Site AgHb-413 likely represents the remains of this settlement. Archival research places the Euro-Canadian sites AgHb-416 and AgHb-417 as the homesteads of T. Brooks and E. Blacker within their respective lots and the location of the Blacker Brickyard at the site of AgHb-415. Table 154 lists the sites recommend for Stage 3 investigations. Table 155 lists the sites to be revisited. In light of these considerations, the following recommendations are made: 1. Given the isolated and undiagnostic nature of P2 (AgHb-419), P3, P4, P6, P7, P8, P11, P12, P13, P14, P15 (AgHb-475), P16, P17, P19, P21, P22, P24, P25, P26, P29, P31, P33(AgHb-433), P34, P35, P36, P37, P43, P44, P45, P47, P48, P49, P50, P51 (AgHb-438), P52, P53 (AgHb-439), P54, P55, P56, P57, P59, P60, P61 (AgHb-441), P62, P63, P64, P69, P70, P71, P72 (AgHb-478), P74, P75, P76, P77, P78, P79, P80, P82, P84, P85, P86, P87, P88, P89, P90, P91 (AgHb-447), P92 (AgHb-448), P99, P102, P106, P109, P110, P111, P112, P113 (AgHb-481), P114, P115, P118, P119, P123, P124, P125 (AgHb- 464), P126, P129, P131 (AgHb-466), P133, P134, P135 (AgHb-484), P136, P137 (AgHb-469), P140, P142, P143, P144 and P145, these findspots are not considered to be of any further archaeological significance and may be considered free of any further archaeological concern. Given the isolated nature of H1 and H3, these findspots are not considered to be of any further archaeological significance and may be considered free of any further archaeological concern. 2. Findspots P10 (AgHb-474), P30, P38 (AgHb-476), P66 (AgHb-477), P73 (AgHb-479), P94, P96 (AgHb-480), P130 (AgHb-483), and P146 (AgHb-485) represent components that have yielded few artifacts, but appear to have highly focussed distributions. Given this factor it is recommended that these areas be subject to a revisit, under favourable field conditions. If additional artifacts are encountered at a given site, that site should be subject to a Stage 3 investigation. If the revisits do not result in the recovery of any additional artifacts from a given area, a recommendation will be made to clear that site of further archaeological concern.

111 Page Euro-Canadian site AgHb-414 represents a single-family, early to mid-nineteenth century domestic occupation and represents a significant archaeological resource which has potential to shed light on the early Euro-Canadian settlement of Tutela Heights. It is, therefore, recommended that this site be subject to Stage 3 archaeological assessment in order to more fully identify the character, extent and significance of the archaeological deposits, in accordance with the Ministry of Culture s 2006 final draft of the Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (MTC 2009). The Stage 3 test excavations should commence with a controlled surface collection to determine the precise extent of each site and to document any surface artifacts that may be present. This work will require that the site area be reploughed and allowed to weather a least one substantial rainfall prior to our commencing with this work. This should be followed by the excavation of a series of one metre by one metre units across the site at five metre intervals within the established grid in order to determine the nature and extent of the cultural deposits. An additional 20% of the total number of units excavated on the grid (therefore if 40 units were excavated, an additional 8 units would be required) will be strategically excavated at five metre intervals throughout the site, around units of high artifact counts or other significant areas of the site. The test units should be excavated five centimetres into the sterile subsoil and soil fills screened through 6 mm wire mesh to facilitate artifact recovery. The sterile subsoil should be troweled and all soil profiles examined for undisturbed cultural deposits. The results of the Stage 3 assessments will be used to evaluate the significance of the sites and to develop a series of recommendations concerning any further mitigative options that may be necessary. 4. The Blacker Brickworks (AgHb-415) site represents a significant resource that has the potential to contribute significant insights into nineteenth-century industrial sites, as well as the dynamics of an important brickyard in the economy of Brantford Township. It is therefore recommended that this site be subject to Stage 3 archaeological assessment in order to more fully identify the character, extent and significance of the archaeological deposits, in accordance with the Ministry of Culture s 2006 final draft of the Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (MTC 2009). The Stage 3 test excavations should commence with a controlled surface collection to determine the precise extent of each site and to document any surface artifacts that may be present.

The sterile subsoil should be troweled and all soil profiles examined for undisturbed cultural deposits. The results of the Stage 3 assessments will be used to evaluate the significance of the sites and to develop a series of recommendations concerning any further mitigative options that may be necessary. 5. Site AgHb-413 represents a significant component of the Late Iroquoian and contact period history of Brantford, the Grand River drainage, and of southern Ontario in general. Further investigation of the site

112 Page 99 would provide significant information with respect to the occupation of the Tutela Heights area by the band of Tutelos Siouan Aboriginals who settled in Upper Canada, as well as allowing for further understanding of the use of the Grand River drainage during the time when the site was occupied. It is therefore recommended that this site be subject to Stage 3 archaeological assessment in order to more fully identify the character, extent and significance of the archaeological deposits, in accordance with the Ministry of Culture s 2006 final draft of the Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (MTC 2009). The Stage 3 test excavations should commence with a controlled surface collection to determine the precise extent of each site and to document any surface artifacts that may be present.

The sterile subsoil should be troweled and all soil profiles examined for undisturbed cultural deposits. The results of the Stage 3 assessments will be used to evaluate the significance of the sites and to develop a series of recommendations concerning any further mitigative options that may be necessary. 6. Euro-Canadian sites AgHb-416 and AgHb-417 represent single-family, early nineteenth to early twentieth century and mid- to late nineteenth century domestic occupations, which can be precisely placed within the context of land use on their respective lots. It is therefore recommended that these sites be subject to Stage 3 archaeological assessment in order to more fully identify the character, extent and significance of the archaeological deposits, in accordance with the Ministry of Culture s 2006 final draft of the Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (MTC 2009). The Stage 3 test excavations should commence with the excavation of a series of one metre by one metre units across the site at five metre intervals within the established grid in order to determine the nature and extent of the cultural deposits.

The sterile subsoil should be troweled and all soil profiles examined for undisturbed cultural deposits. The results of the Stage 3 assessments will be used to evaluate the significance of the sites and to develop a series of recommendations concerning any further mitigative options that may be necessary. 7. Sites P1 (AgHb-418), P4 (AgHb-420), P5 (AgHb-421), P9 (AgHb-423), P18 (AgHb-424), P20 (AgHb- 426), P23 (AgHb-427), P26 (AgHb-428), P27 (AgHb-429), P28 (AgHb-430), P32 (AgHb-432), P39 (AgHb-434), P40 (AgHb-435), P41 (AgHb-436), P42 (AgHb-437), P58 (AgHb-440), P65 (AgHb-442), P67 (AgHb-443), P68 (AgHb-444), P81 (AgHb-445), P83 (AgHb-446), P93 (AgHb-449), P95 (AgHb- 451), P97 (AgHb-452), P98 (AgHb-453), P100 (AgHb-454), P101 (AgHb-455), P103 (AgHb-456), P104 (AgHb-457), P105 (AgHb-458), P108 (AgHb-459), P116 (AgHb-460), P117 (AgHb-461), P120

It is therefore recommended that each site be subject to Stage 3 archaeological assessment in order to more fully identify the character, extent and significance of the archaeological deposits, in accordance with the Ministry of Culture s 2006 final draft of the Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (MTC 2009). The Stage 3 test excavations should commence with a controlled surface collection to determine the precise extent of each site and to document any surface artifacts that may be present.

The sterile subsoil should be troweled and all soil profiles examined for undisturbed cultural deposits. The results of the Stage 3 assessments will be used to evaluate the significance of the sites and to develop a series of recommendations concerning any further mitigative options that may be necessary. 8. No grading or other activities that may result in the destruction or disturbance of any of the archaeological sites documented by this assessment are permitted until notice of Ministry of Culture acceptance has been received. 9. The decision to protect the following sites with a 10 metre buffer has already been made, precluding the necessity for further stage 3 investigations: P4 (AgHb-420), P95 (AgHb-451), P97 (AgHb-452), P98 (AgHb-453), P100 (AgHb-454), P101 (AgHb-455), P103 (AgHb-456), P105 (AgHb-458), P116 (AgHb- 460), P120 (AgHb-462), P121, P127 (AgHb-465), P132 (AgHb-467), P138 (AgHb-470), P139 (AgHb- 471) and Euro-Canadian site AgHb The remainder of the subject property may be considered free from further archaeological concern. 11. Should deeply buried archaeological remains be found on the property during construction activities, the Cultural Programs Unit within the Programs and Services Branch of the Ministry of Culture should be notified immediately. 12. In the event that human remains are encountered during construction, the proponent should immediately contact both the Ministry of Culture, and the Registrar or Deputy Registrar of the Cemetreies Regulation Unit of the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services, (416) The documentation and artifacts related to the archaeological assessment of the property will be curated by Archaeological Services Inc. until such a time that arrangements for their ultimate transfer to Her Majesty the Queen in right of Ontario, or other public institution, can be made to the satisfaction of the landowner, the Ontario Ministry of Culture, and any other legitimate interest groups.
