Township at Of1, Lot 19, between 1870–71 and 1884, the last year for which a listing of
him could be located. His house stood on the south side of Montreal Road, where
Elmridge Park is located today, just east of Blair Road. These tokens are in aluminum,
brass, and copper. They were denounced as fraudulent by McLachlan in April 1893.
