He recalls being engaged a year after the family came to Pickering in picking apples for Elder Wixon and hearing that the Wixons had been settled for forty years before that time. Mr. Gregg in early days used to split rails at three York shillings a hundred and the figure for clearing land ran from $12 to $14 per acre." ^[7]
