Notes on the Gore of Puslinch

W.F. MacKenzie, writing in the Mercury in 1906-07, states that there was a period in the history of the Gore of Puslinch when there were only three families form the town line of Waterloo to the Brock Road, a distance of nine miles, that could not speak the language in which St. Paul must have addressed the Gelatins - Gaelic. Those families were McQuillan, Fordyce and Robert Elliott. He may have picked up that quote from one of the families he interviewed.The gore of Puslinch was heavily forested with pine trees, the roots of which did not easily disintegrate. As a result the farms in the gore were the last farms in the township to be settled. These lots were also surveyed separately from the remainder of the Township.
