FIGURE 5. The conjectured route of Sir George Seymour’s travels in Lot 13 in 1840. (Wed. 26 Aug: — —; Thurs. 27 Aug.: ----- )

The route can be fairly exactly worked out from the location of the roads that Seymour mentions, and from the names of the persons mentioned in the original journal (see my article ‘Prince Edward Island in 1840: The Travel Journal of Sir George Seymour’ in The Island Magazine, Part 1 in Vol. 54: 26-33, Part 2 in Vol. 55: 2-7, and especially the map on page 30 of Part 1, which contains a comprehensive placing of the names of people that Seymour mentioned). I have made one change from that map: I now believe that the 26 August journey began along the present Northam Road (Route 132), ratherthan along the road between Port Hill and Tyne Valley (i.e. Route 12), as I presented there. [The names of places and homesteads have been positioned on the basis of information contained in any of the following sources: an 1816 map of Lot 13 in the Seymour of Ragley Papers (PARO. Acc. 3485, CR 114A/569, Reel 102); two maps of Lot 13, initially dated 1821 (PARO Maps 0497 and 0,011) on the latter of which Seymour had scribbled some notes; an 1875 map of Lot 13 (PARO Map 0012); and the 1863 Lake and 1880 Meacham maps of Lot 13.]
