BARB'S GENEALOGY TIDBITS- BALL POINT- THE NATIVE MURDER

Another interesting story concerning Ball Point, Mariposa Township, Victoria County. The Murder at the Point led to one of the most interesting stories in early Toronto History- the sinking of the Schooner Speedy in 1804.






This was an interesting story concerning Ball Point. A family member was visited by a person on Lake Scugog talking about the murder that had occurred. The story could use a map of the area for clarity and may be added on a future post.
