• Notes

  The township (of Thorah), was surveyed in parts, first, in 1820, by J. E. White, who settled just north of Beaverton on the lake shore in 1822. His son James was the first white male child born in the township and this same James White in 1847 married Jeanette Waddell, the first white child born in Mara. source --Ontario County, A Short Sketch of Settlement, Physical Features and Resources with Brief Historical Notes;Page 55; J.
