Ask an Ontario Genealogy Question $ Some links may offer paid services or resources and are not financially associated with the OntarioGenWeb Project $ Q: How can I find out about boundary and jurisdiction changes for East Hawksbury Twp (now Prescott Co) c1851? A: The best source of information about Ontario Counties and Tps is Alan Rayburn's book entitled Place Names in Ontario, published by the U of Toronto Press in 1997 -- available at most bookstores for about $ 22.00. Hawkesbury Tp in Prescott Co was created in 1798. It was divided into East and West in 1884. There is also a community called Hawkesbury. It had a Post Office beginning in 1819 and became the Town of Hawkesbury in 1896. In the early days it was the site of a very large lumbering operation run by George and William Hamilton Do you have an answer for this question?
