There is also a Biographical Directory of Subscribers(Like the new business directories)which some could afford to subscribe. Also contained is a short history of each settlement and a map. 

From the list of Anderdon families still listed in 1883-84 that I read in a previous posting I was able to find the following information that may be of use. (Ref B. Pg 26, 34)

PICTURE
"On the resignation of Mr. Patterson to contest the seat (of North Essex riding) in the House of Commons in 1878,Solomon White, barrister, of Windsor, was elected to the vacancy in the Conservative interest over George Rankin, of Windsor, son of Col. Rankin".(Ref Sub Pg 14) "Solomon White of Windsor, M.P.P. for North Essex, is the eldest son of Joseph White, of Anderdon, his mother being the daughter of the late Captain Pierre Fortier, formerly of Quebec(A W.A. Fortier owned land on C 1, L 15). Mr White is a native of this county, where he received his education preparatory to a study of the law. He was admitted as an attourney and barrister in 1865, and was some years in partnership with Honourable John O'Conner. He took an active interest in the establishment of successful grape culture in Essex County, and was the leading spirit in the organization of the Canada Vine Growers Association. His interest in agricultural matters has also been strongly marked by his many efforts for their advancement to a higher place of excellence throughout the country. Mr. White has ever maintained a deep interest in political affairs, his sympathies gravitating toward conservative principals. In 1873, he unsuccessfully contested the County of Peel(near Toronto)for the seat in Ontario Assembly, and has since that date declined several nominations for that same constituency. On the occurrence of a vacancy in the representation of North Essex in the Legislature in 1878 he was elected to the 'vacant chair' by a large majority, securing a re- election when the government appealed the the country in 1879. His legal practice has been and still is successful and extensive, to which his general personal qualities contribute in a considerable degree. He is a gentleman of large enterprise and public spirit, ever ready to assist the onward march of progress in his town or county, and the offices of public trust to which he has received repeated elections carry their own comment as to his popularity."

White, Thos.B., Freeholder, C 1, L 28, Gordon PO, Merchant, owns 210 acres in C 1, L 7. Held the Reeveship for 11 years. Was born in the Township.(Ref Sub Pg 15)"T.B White, Reeve of Anderdon, was born in the township named in 1839. He is son of Joseph White, and brother of Solomon White. M.P.P. His life has been spent in this locality, where he has carried out extensive trade relations, and attained success in the development of the Anderdon Quarries, containing about 130 acres and yielding an excellent grade of building stone. In municipal matters Mr. White has been specially active and prominent, being now for his twelfth year as incumbent of the Anderdon Reeveship, in a contest for which he has only been defeated but once. In 1876 he was elected to the Warden's chair, where his popularity equaled that accorded him in his minor municipal offices. Among those to whom the township of Anderdon is indebted for the development which has fallen to its lot during the past score years, and the promotion of schemes bearing upon local interests and aspirations, there are none to whom a fuller measure of credit attaches than  the gentleman who forms the subject of this paragraph."

(Ref Sub Pg 10)
"As has been elsewhere noticed, the original French settlement on the present Canadian side of the river extended southward to to the neighbourhood of the Riviere Canard. When the British Government made the treaty with the Indians of Western Canada in 1780, it was stipulated that several defined tracts should be reserved in perpetuity for thier use, one of these being described as a strip of land lying south of Riviere Canard, extending along the Detroit River front six miles , and inland to the distance of about seven. This was the origin of the old Indian Reserve now consisting of the Township of Anderdon."

"In 1817 Gourlay states that the whole section of which we write (Amherstburg Town and the townships of Malden and Anderdon) contained but 108 inhabited houses, with 675 residents, and that two windmills were in operation in the settlement. About 33 years later (1850) Smith describes A'burg thus: "It is, for Canada, an ancient place, having been laid out as a town in 1795, and in the folloing year, after the evacuation of Detroit, it began to settle. It has a very old fashioned look about it, most of the houses being built in the old French style. The streets are narrow, and the sidewalks are mostly paved with stones. There are 6 churches, one steam saw and two steam grist mills, carding and a woolen factory, soap and candle factory, two asheries, two breweries, two tanneries and a foundry. Amherstburg also had a collector of customs, an inspector of flour and pork, and a market place and court house. It contains a thousand inhabitants, and has a weekly newspaper and daily post". From this we see that at that time A'burg was by far the most important point upon the frontier. At the same time the Township of Anderdon contained nearly 2000 and Malden a little exceeding 5000 acres of well cultivated land, while the population was respectively 774 and 1,552. As to the comparative quality of the soil of the two townships it is difficult to decide, ; but an idea may be gained of the general excellence from the fact that of the Indian Reserve(Anderdon) we only find 750 acres listed as "swamp' in the official papers, which dispose in various ways 23,760 acres of land."

"It should be mentioned that as soon as Malden and Colchester began to be pretty well settled, a very strong disposition was evinced by the whites to encroach upon the Indian lands; and to prevent possible trouble the Government have at various times sold for the benefit of the Indians sundry portions of the reserve, till now but a very small fraction is left, and this is occupied by the Indians themselves. These Indians are the descendants of what few Hurons escaped the Iroquois massacres along the early Jesuit settlements on the south shore of Georgian Bay about the year 1649, and are now commonly known as the Wyandotte tribe. On the outbreak of the war of 1812-15, a part of this tribe was located in Northern Iowa and Southern Michigan. 

At Flat Rock and River Raisin were considerable villages of them, and these were induced to join the British, and to move to the Anderdon reservation. Splitlog, the uncle of the present Chief, White, was at that time War-Chief of the tribe, and was instrumental in procuring the change of fealty on the part of the American Indians- a result which long seemed doubtful. He was subsequently seven times wounded during the war. Even the ravages of war left a  quite a large Indian population on the reserve at its close, and as late as 1832 they numbered 374. By 1850, however "Smith's Canada" states the number had decreased to  less than 100 from a variety of causes, chiefly emigration to the Missouri Region, to join their kinsmen who had moved from Sandusky, Ohio. At present they number 85, and are under the jurisdiction of the Sarnia superintendancy. Those remaining are largely intermarried with the whites their aboriginal identity having almost disappeared. They are engaged in agricultural and various lines of business, just as others of our prosperous communities. So far as our observation and information extends, they are almost without exception a superior lot of people in physical development, and of exceptional comely appearance. They are not only intelligent, but many of them cultivated and refined; and among them we have met a number of as fine ladies and gentlemen as can be found anywhere in the country. Their Chief, whose name in English is Joseph White, is a man of colossal proportions and magnificent physique, and though born in the first days of the present century, age sits lightly on him. When the writer (Belden Brothers)went to his place he was found plowing among the trees in his orchard, and seemed to manipulate that implement, which has become the symbol of peace and progress, as well as his warlike ancestors could have handled the rifle or tomahawk."
