Verwaltungsgeschichte
In response to the difficulties accumulating, the Ontario government set up a quasi-judicial commission to review and settle land claims, know as the Heir and Devisee Commission. Its purpose was to settle hereditary claims on unpatented land. In fact, there were two Commissions, the first sat from 1797 to 1804 and the second from 1805 to 1911, although the bulk of its work was over by 1890. Each claimant had to produce evidence for the claim: wills, commissions, affidavits, etc. which can be very descriptive of families and individuals.
Bestandsgeschichte
Eingrenzung und Inhalt
The fonds consists of records of both Land Commissions including reports, indexes, minute books of Heir and Devisee Commission sittings, claims documentation (notices, affidavits, certificates) and Commission rulings. The records of the two commissions are arranged differently. The first Heir and Devisee Commission is arranged by geographical location, organized by the names of the old districts. Within the districts, the files are arranged alphabetically by surname. The files of the second Heir and Devisee Commission have been indexed and arranged alphabetically by surname, with date of claim. There are five reels of name indexes.
