"The township of Nepean, of which Bytown was originally a part, was surveyed in 1798, A Mr. Honeywell was the first settler in the township. The owners of the original lots covering the present townsite were principally United Empire Loyalists or their children. That portion of the present city lying between Wellington and Rideau streets and the Ottawa River and stretching from Bronson Avenue to the Rideau river was originally granted to one Jacob Carman, the son of a United Empire
Loyalist who had settled in the township of Ameliasburg. It would not appear that Mr. Carman ever settled on the lot, and shortly afterwards in some way that I have been unable to ascertain, the property passed into the hands of Colonel Hugh Fraser, of Three Rivers, Quebec."
