Ellice TownshipTowns, Villages and HamletsA rural area, Ellice township includes the hamlets and villages of Brunner, Rostock, Wartburg, Kinkora, Moserville, Topping, Ellice Center, and Kuhryville.Books Specific to Ellice townshipEchoes of Ellice was produced by a committee as one of the series of township histories currently being written.There is also a book on Ellice in Vera McNichol's series Reveries of a Pioneer. There's more information on this series on my Perth County Books page. PioneersThe first settler in Ellice township was Andrew SEEBACH in 1830. He was also the second settler in Perth County. He came with his five sons. The Illustrated Historical Atlas, 1879 (page xvi) says that he arrived in 1828, but it's agreed that it was 1830.Other early settlers listed in the 1879 atlas are: George KASTNER, M. STOSKOPF, John ROHFREITSCH, and George BRUNNER, and John SEBRING at Sebringville, which took its name from him (though technically Sebringville is in Downie township, I think). Huron County Library has put online many assessment rolls for 1842. This is basically a list of residents of the area in 1842; it tells you who was living there and how much land they owned. Read their introduction first and then go to their Ellice Township page. See also the new Perth County Pioneers page for visitors' submissions of their pioneer info.
