Notes:

Haysville sprang into prominence as years went by. It became one of the chief places between Hamilton and Goderich. The stage coach changed horses at Haysville. One of the early settlers was William Hobson. Mr. Hobson came from Ireland in 1818 and settled near London. He returned to Ireland but did not stay long. Returning to Canada he associated himself with a surveying party and went through to Goderich. Finally deciding to live at Haysville, he bought 200 acres now owned by Daniel Shantz. This farm had splendid pine and was sold to William Puddicombe in 1832 or 1833. ... From 1832 to 1836 many settlers came in to take up land. There were no churches or schoolhouses. Some few years after, a teacher named Robert Boucher taught school in a log house owned by Mr. William Puddicombe.

_______________

....Among the early pioneer tillers of the soil in this section along the Dundas Road," in 1831-2, were William Hobson, William Puddicombe and Edward Everett. Hobson was the first to arrive. He came from the Emerald Isle some time in 1831 and settled near Haysville. In 1833 be deeded his property to Puddicombe, and he and Everett tock up land on the east side of the river, a part of which is now the site of Haysville. Here, while clearing up the wilderness each kept a tavern, and as the district became more thickly settled they were bountifully rewarded in a financial way for their forethought in establishing what seemed to be a dire necessity in those days, when the jug of liquor in the harvest field was as indispensable as the jug of water is to-day....
