When Upper Canada was constituted a separate province in1792, William Chewett was appointed Deputy Surveyor in chargeof surveys, and was removed from Williamsburgh, where he hadmade his home, to Newark (Niagara-on-the-Lake), the firstcapital of the Province. Hugh McDonald was then appointedDeputy Survejor for the Lunenburgh District, the name beingchanged to the Eastern District. It is possible that the records of surveys made prior to 1792in the Lunenburgh District were filed at Quebec, or they may havebeen destroyed or mislaid. In 1793 surveys were made in Edwardsburgh, and in 1795 inAugusta, of which we have no record, but they were probably thesurveys of concessions to meet the demands of settlement. PAPERS READ 135.
