The Archaeology of Two Whitchurch-Stouffville Farmsteads by William D. Finlayson (Our Lands Speak Vol.3)

In volume 3, The Archaeology of Two Whitchurch-Stouffville Farmsteads, he shares that in the second half of the 19th century, John Yake Sr., a prominent Stouffville businessman, purchased two parts of Lot 32, Concession 10, in what is now the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville. John Yake Sr. rented the small house at the western end of the lot, which eventually became the Yake site. John Yake Jr. lived on the western part of the lot, initially in the large house which became the Windmill site, and ultimately in a new brick house which was still occupied at the time of our excavations. This is Volume 4 in the Our Lands Speak series. The eBook (.pdf) format is available at: https://www.icbookstore.ca/thearchaeologyoftwowhitchurchstouffvillefarmsteads !
