Emmigrants to Upper Canada

The best known, and perhaps most prosperous of the different groups of colonists, was that called the " Military Settlement." This was formed in Upper Canada in 1816, in the townships of Bathurst, Drummond, Beckwith, and Goulburn, these names being those of the British officials closely connected with the movement.
 
By the close of the year, 230 men and 708 discharged soldiers had been placed on their holdings, and these, with women and children, made up a population of 1890 souls. Largely Scottish, the colonists were from Perthshire, Lanark, and adjoining shires, and in consequence "Perth Settlement" gradually became the name of the military colony
