SIMON GIRTY

Simon Girty was deeded the land from The Crown in 1802.

The deed is currently in the possession of Pearl (Adams) McLean

There is so much to write about this fellow. I will quote from  the book,  Kingsville Through The Years.

"The family of Girty has sprung from roots planted early in the new world, and can look to one forefather who was so outstanding during such an outstanding period in the development of our continent that historians vary in referring to him as famous or notorious. Such a man was Simon Girty , born in 1741, whose 77 year life-time could be recounted in fact which would outstrip most fiction, and could be evaluated only with full understanding of the circumstances under which he lived."
