To date, little is known about the Code family aside from the knowledge that they resided in Smith Falls, Ontario at the end of the 19th century. Samuel Barber and T.F. Code both, attended the University of Toronto's School of Practical Science to study civil engineering. Samuel Barber Code graduated from the program in 1907. There is no further mention of T.F. Code. The material attributed to Thomas Singleton contains deeds of land and a record of financial transactions both of which suggest he was a wealthy resident of Smith Falls. It is assumed Samuel Barber Code and T.F. Code were related, but from the existing material no connection has been made to Thomas Singleton.

David Forkes lives in Kingston, Ontario.

These records were accumulated by staff of the Department of Lands and Forest as a means of sorting and arranging otherwise unrelated records. If an individual document dealt specifically with a particular piece of property and did not fit within another record series it was placed within the Township papers. Even after the series was transferred to the Archives of Ontario, staff archivists continued to file miscellaneous material within the series.

Charles Tupper was born in Amherst, N.S. After attending Horton Academy he studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh (M.D. 1843) and practiced in Amherst until 1855. He was first elected to the N ova Scotia Assembly in 1855 and served as Provincial Secretary, 1856-1860, 1863-1867, and as Premier, 1864-1867.

He was instrumental in bringing Nova Scotia into Confederation and was elected to Canada's first parliament in 1867. In federal politics Tupper, besides serving as Prime Minister, held six different cabinet portfolios. He was also Canada's High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and occupied that position almost continuously from 1884 until 1896. In 1896, he returned from England and, in an attempt to solve the leadership problem in the Conservative Party replaced Bowell as Prime Minister. In the 1896 election, the Liberals were victorious and from 1896-1901 Tupper served as Leader of the Opposition.

After the 1901 election he retired from active political life and settled in England. He died at Bexley Heath on 30 October 1915 at the age of 94.
