Miesner, Jacob - letter from the Surveyor General to His Honour the Administrator:
On the 21st of September last Your Honour directed me to locate a man by the name of Jacob Miesner, recommended to you by Captain Ryerse, on a farm lot in the vicinity of Long Point.
After searching the office I discovered that a man by the name of Jacob Miner had received an assignment on the 9th may, 1795 (No. 668), for 200 acres in Crowland upon a Land Board certificate of the 3rd May, 1791.
Presuming this to be the same person, although the orthography of the surname differed a little, I refused to locate him, upon Your Honour's order, and a warrant which he had lodged the day before, the 20th September (No. 276), for 200 acres until he gave me a certificate, conjointly with some other person, that he was not the Jacob Misner who claimed the lands in Crowland; in consequence of which he, with one John Misner, Senior, gave me the annexed certificate, upon which 200 acres were described in Woodhouse (No. 2125) on the warrant.
After this the Land Board certificate was sent to me to be described. Still conceiving there was another Jacob Misner, it was accordingly described (No. 2149), but there being some instrument in writing on the back of it, I could not divest myself of suspicion. I therefore wrote on the 21st February last to Jacob Misner of Woodhouse and to Jacob Miesner of Crowland, to know how they were distinguished but m receiving no answer, I began to make enquiries of several persons as to the unity of Jacob Misner and Miesner, and have reason to believe he is one and the same person, particularly from the information of one Peter Mathews, who says he has given him a valuable consideration for land in Crowland.
In the hope, however that this may not affect a second person, should there be another Jacob Misner, I am etc. (Signed D.W. Smith, A.S.G.)
Ordered that public notice be issued from the Surveyor General's office requiring Jacob Miser and Jacob Miesner to appear before him on a certain day to substantiate their respective claims to the two lots in question and , if they fail to do so, the Order of Council in favour of Jacob Misner for a lot in Long Point to be rescinded, as also the certificate for Crowland unless transferred by the sanction of the Land Board.
