A) Norfolk County pioneers were the first white people in the Long Point Settlement of Upper Canada on the north shore of Lake Erie. Many were United Empire Loyalists and their descendants, who fled the United States following the American Revolution. Peter Procunier JR and his family fled to Canada to remain loyal to the King, where many of his descendents remain today. Professional genealogist R. Robert Mutrie specializes in the earliest days of Upper Canada in general, and the Long Point Settlers in particular. He is the author of Long Point Setters, an encyclopedic reference to the surviving historical record of these pioneers. He also edits a quarterly Long Point Settlers Journal which profiles Norfolk's first families and their culture and society. These Long Point Settler web pages (Norfolk Genealogy) concentrate on the people and events of Norfolk County's first quarter century, 1790 - 1815.
