  Also: "Asa had become unhappy with conditions in Carrying Place and Brighton, and had been looking for opportunities that might come along. Grey County had been open to prospective settlers for about twenty years. There was still crown land available and the prospects for successful venture looked good. Asa applied for and received a land grant in St. Vincent Township. The grant had been obtained through his efforts at Toronto. The crown had granted him the east half of lots 7 and 8 in the XIIth Concessions. We think Asa had visited the land in 1858. He probably travelled by rail to Collingwood, and by steamship to Meaford. For the rest of the trip he may have rented a horse and wagon in Meaford and driven to his property. The 15, 16 sideroad, and the Xith line road and possibly part of 9, 10 sideroad would have been passable at that time." Exerpt from the "Weller Family History," Volume 2 by Burton Weller Eagles.⁴

• Residence*: 1793; Murray Twp., Carrying Place, Northumberland Co., Upper Canada; "Asa was only about three years old when his family moved from Dutchess County to Vermont . . . Asa's parents ran an inn in Manchester, Vermont. Before starting his first trip to Canada in 1791, Asa Weller consulted with his father-in-law, Colonel Marsh, concerning the geography of that portion of the continent . . . Asa was probably accompanied by one of his brothers, Eliakim or Ebenezer . . . They returned to Manchester in the following year. Asa had business to settle and property to sell before emigrating with his family (in 1793). Asa started his boat portaging services shortly after he got settled in Carrying Place. He made it possible to transport bateaux from the Bay of Quinte to Weller's Bay, using his low slung four-wheeled wagon. Oxen were his source of power for the heavy loads." per "Descendants of Asa Weller" sent to me via email by Linda Smith, Dec. 19, 2004.³
