Settlers travelled north on the Garafraxa Trail starting about 1842. They were attracted by the prospect of free land in southern Grey County, Ontario, Canada. Land grants were being claimed by Scottish pioneers form the Isle of Mull, Argylleshire- Irish pioneers from County Wicklow- Black pioneers who were following the Underground Railroad from the USA- Irish Catholics escaping the poverty inflicted by the potato famine. This is the story of those pioneers who made the journey and then built the country.
