Land & Property:
Sgt. John Ashley (Ashby) received an initial location ticket for all of Lot 24 in Concession 2, Front of Yonge Township, Leeds County. This property is slightly to the north west of the village of Mallorytown. An investigation of this property reveals that it was all swamp land draining into Jones Creek which flows through the southern end of the property. Early maps indicate much more open water on the creek than visible on today's GIS maps suggesting that the water table has changed, but today this area remains undeveloped. Farmland in the township begins in concession 3.
A second location ticket was granted for Lot 19 SW in Concession 10 of Bathurst township of Lanark County, then part of the Bathurst District. This remote property was located on the shores of the Bolton Creek as it flows out of Bennett Lake. It is also directly west of the village of Fallbrook

Land & Property:
John Ashby relinquished this property and it was regranted 11 Dec 1821 to Simon Grey.
