Published May 2003
the story of
Samuel Pegg
of Gwillimbury and Scott Townships
York County, Ontario, Upper Canada
By Daniel K. Dixon
"In the summer of 1801, Samuel Pegg arrived in Upper Canada with his parents', Isaac and Deborah, and nine siblings. The family immediately began the task of carving out a life in the new Township of East Gwillimbury. Later in 1833, Samuel purchased 200 acres in neighbouring Scott Township which set in motion a lengthy association between the Pegg family and the township."
Discover new links to the Rebellion of 1837, including a Pegg connection to Samuel Lount and the Children of Peace.
Explore one of the earliest water generated mills and its participants in East Gwillimbury.
Purdy, Terry, Bielby, Dunn, Grose, Cuyler and Risebrough are just some of the other pioneering families discussed in the book.
Inside the book are several descendant reports including the most comprehensive three-generation report of Samuel Pegg descendants published to date. Approximately 150 photos, illustrations, maps and index of names accompany the text.
The author, a lifelong resident of the former Scott Township, and a Pegg descendant, captures the life and times of one of old York County's most prolific pioneering families in “Breaking Ground”.
