Hi Roberta, My ancestor Stephen Clink received a replacement land grant around 1820 in Upper Canada,ended up farming on his brother in law's grant which he tranfered to Stephen in 1821 and did he did not take out a patent on this property until the early 1850's. Many farmers in early Upper Canada were too cheap to take out the patent on their land and delayed doing so for many years until for various reason they felt compelled to do so. regards, Donald
