History
Noah Dean was a yeoman in Upper Canada and owned two hundred acres of land in the township of Hamilton. In 1808, he sent a petition to Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada regarding his land. Dean purchased the two hundred acres from Aaron Greely in 1798 for fifty pounds. He built a house there, cleared thirty acres and lived there with his family for nine years, before discovering that Greely had no claim to the land. In the petition he includes reference letters supporting his claims.
