1861 Canada Agricultural Census - Gustavus Anderson - London, Ontario

Evening,

I discovered the 1861 Canada Agricultural Census enumerating Gustavus Anderson and his stead, holdings, and farming efforts.  It is amazing the information that is provided.  Two other Andersons; David and Clayborne, along with Gustavus are included on this census page.  Is there some connection?  Don't know... More research and investigation needed.

And the Gustavus Andersons: Spring Wheat, Peas, Oats, Indian Corn, Pigs, and Butter. In 1860 five acres of land, fully cultivated, all crops.
