1861 Census, Sarnia Township, (Lambton Cty) in Huron County, Microfilm #C1041

Plympton
Plympton is the most northern of the center tier of Lambton County townships and is bounded on the north by a portion of Bosanquet and on the north west by Lake Huron.

?i?From a Lambton web site??/i?
It is the second largest township in the county, having 76080 acres. The settlement of Plympton dates back from 1833 in which year a large number of immigrants located along the Egremont Road in the 5th and 6th ,Concessions. They came out from Europe under the patronage of Lord Egremont. There was also a settlement at Camlachie the same year. The land there was settled in 1833 by old country men and?b? in 1835 and 36 a considerable number of Scotch settlers came to the southern part of the township from Lanark county. ?/b?When the settlement was effected along the lake there was no way of communicating with Sarnia, then a straggling hamlet containing only one store, except by boats on the lake.

?i?A History of Lambton Cty, Jean Turnbull Elford, Sarnia, 1967. (my summary)?/i?
In 1835, 27 year old Malcolm Cameron persuded Scottish settlers to follow him from Lanark and Perth, (Lanark Cty) when he bought the property that was to become downtown Sarnia. He provided land for their Presbyterian Church, employed them in his grist mill, took potash in exchange for goods at his store corner of Lochiel and Front St. The settlers cut square oak timbers he sold to Glasgow shipyards, manufactured staves he shipped to Jamaica for rum barrels, built and sailed vessels on the lakes. Through use of political influence he was responsible for the building of a road from London to Sarnia direct.

?u?1816 - 5th (Princess Charlotte of Wales's) Dragoon Guards?/u?
The 5th (Princess Charlotte of Wales's) Dragoon Guards was a British army cavalry regiment, officially formed in January 1686 as Shrewsbury's Regiment of Horse. Following a number of name changes, it became the 5th (Princess Charlotte of Wales's) Regiment of Dragoon Guards in 1804.

During the War of the Spanish Succession, the unit was commanded by William Cadogan, close aide to the Duke of Marlborough. It was engaged in many of Marlborough's battles and sieges, including Blenheim, Ramillies and Malplaquet; after the Peace of Utrecht in 1713, it resumed garrison duties in Ireland, where it spent most of the next 80 years.[7]

Le Marchant's charge at Salamanca, July 1812; 5th dragoons right foreground
Renamed Second Irish Horse in 1746, it then became 5th Regiment of Dragoon Guards in 1788.[2] On the outbreak of the French Revolutionary Warsin 1793, it was posted to Flanders where it fought at the April 1794 Battle of Beaumont.[6] The unit returned to Ireland and helped suppress the 1798 Irish Rebellion, including the battles of Arklow, Vinegar Hill and Ballinamuck.[5] In 1804, it was retitled 5th (Princess Charlotte of Wales's) Regiment of Dragoon Guards after Princess Charlotte, later simplified to 5th (Princess Charlotte of Wales's) Dragoon Guards.[2]

Posted to Spain in 1810, it was part of Le Marchant's brigade during the Peninsular campaign. The Battle of Salamanca in July 1812 is considered one of Wellington's greatest victories and Le Marchant's attack as the 'single most destructive charge made by a brigade of cavalry in the whole Napoleonic period.
