The William Cameron parcel was held in trust after William’s death (in1900 )by the estate administrator ,Mr. Donald Mac Lachlan Q.C., until 1932 when it was transferred to Mary Cameron, who may be a daughter of William Cameron..In 1901 Donald Mac Lachlan purchased almost 1000 acres on Con 3 and 4,for the estate .After the property was transferred, she purchased another 300 acres in1932, thus giving her access to Hi. 503.

In 2003 that property was purchased by the Province of Ontario for $1,250,000 ($439.5/acre) and is now leased back to the Nature Conservancy of Canada for the preservation of the habitat.
