eptember 24, 1802, George Kiltz indicated he had left the Mohawk River to settle in Humberstone in 1797. He requested 200 acres of land in Wainfleet, District of Niagra to be near friends. His petitio n also indicated that he had a wife and child still in Humberstone. However, it appears that he actually ended up in Crawford twp, north of Wainfleet.
