This publication is an index to the initial holders of patents for the land in the Richmond
Militry Settlement and the surrounding Goulbourn Township in Carleton County, Ontario. It
also includes Military Regiment, Rank and Country of Emigration of some of the people to
whom patents were awarded.
A Patent is the first transaction in separating the land from the Crown to a person.
Subsequent transactions are through Deeds and Bills of Sale etc. The Patent is issued to a
petitioner after completing all steps in the land granting process.
Settlers, mainly discharged soldiers from the 99th Regiment of Foot, arrived in
Goulbourn Township in the fall of 1818. They would have received a location ticket for a lot of
land and would have started building a log house, then clearing the land and other duties
required to complete the terms of settlement. This usually took three years and the issuance of
the Patent an additional two or three years.
Contents include:
- Introduction to Land Patent Holders Goulbourn Township and Village of Richmond
- Explanation of Patents and historical data
- 13 steps in Granting a Patent
- Goulbourn Township (origins)

- Additional research resources (list)
- Richmond settlement town plan (streets and lots)
- List of Land Patent Holders in Goulbourn Twonship and Richmond Village (name, date, lot location, acres, remarks)

holders may be listed more than once if they received patents for more than one parcel of land.
