See the 1882 auction plan in re Husband vs. Bunton (BHS archives). Lot 57 was sold in 1877/78 by William Bunton to David Bastedo. Bunton's Survey (Plan 74) was registered in 1881. According to Turcotte, Memories of Pioneer Days, p. 85, Gilbert Bastedo was born in 1777 in Schenectady, New York, came to Canada in 1784, and settled in Nelson Township in 1806. He was one of the founders of St Paul's Presbyterian Church and also the Burlington Masonic Lodge. 'As Bastedo left 32 grandChildren and youth and 5 great-grand-Children and youth at his death, it is not surprising that the name Bastedo appears often in the records of Nelson.' Bastedo, Gilbert, Obituary, Canadian Champion (Milton), 14 Sep 1865, page 1 One of the Fathers. We condense the following from the 'Presbyterian Record' of September: The late Mr. Gilbert Bastedo, who fell asleep in Jesus, at his residence in Nelson, Halton County, C.W. on the 8th February, 1865, was born at Schenecetady, when New York was a British Colony, on the 8th October, 1777. Early bereft of his parents, he fell to the care of an uncle, who with his charge, settled at Stamford, near the Falls of Niagara in 1798. There on the 25th of April, 1805, he married Marion, the daughter of Mr. John Thompson of that place, who survives her husband in a vigorous and useful and happy old age. In 1807 Mr Bastedo and his partner braved the bush and settled on a forest Farms and Farming, now the family home, on what was then Dundas street, only in name, and not as now lined on both sides with happy homes, of comfort and wealth, and Farms and Farmings which yield a surer gain than California. Thither they carried the family Bible, and the log house, before it had its door hung, became a Bethel, and family worship consecrated a home, over whose door ever since the Lord's promise has stood - 'Them that honour me will I honour' - 'They that walk uprightly shall want no good thing,' and to which he with the large now (mourning) family responded 'Goodness and mercy have followed us all the days of our life.' Six sons, six daughters, thirty-two grand-Children and youth, and five great-grand-Children and youth, have passed under his patriarchal blessing; and with many of his bereaved family, the community gathered and devout men bore him to his burial, in the south-east corner of the church grounds which he had long before given to the 'United Synod of Canada,' in whose councils he was an Elder since 1825 till that Synod was united to the church of Scotland; and when the 'Exodus' took place he was found foremost in carrying out the principles which his late pastor, Rev. Mr. King, had cultivated in his congregation up to the period of the disruption. In the afternoon of his last day, he said he would not be able for the worship, but he kneeled by the sofa, and prayed. He arose, saying about 5 P M. that he would retire early. He went unaided to his room, undressed without help, and retired to bed. Mrs. Bastedo being unwell, having retired before him, hear him say as he composed himself to rest, 'Lord Jesus into thy hands I commend my Spirit:' but such expressions were common with him ere he went to sleep. She listened for his breathing in sleep, and it was gentle as a child's. She heard him give two gentle breathings as if falling into slumber, and concluded that he was only asleep. But at a late hour, when the youngest daughter in the discharge of her affectionate duties to her parents came in and was adjusting the clothes comfortably, the light of the lamp fell on her father's face. She thinking it too bright, and putting her hand under his head, cried out 'O Mother, Father is dead.' and so it was; Jesus had come to glory on his face over which many wept and cried: 'My Father, My Father, The chariots of Israel and the horseman thereof.' And we saw him no more: Thus the Lord gathers the Father's in Israel. May many rise up and perpetuate their virtues, and follow the Lord fully, and find that so 'To live in Christ, but to die is gain.\" A. M. Freelton, July 14th, 1865.

Byles, made a surprising discovery in a bundle of old books brought for 25 cents in a Montreal second-hand bookstore. A collection of recipes, handwritten in the empty pages of an old Bank of British North America passbook, bore the inscription \"Miss Rebecca Bastedo, Burlington, Ontario, February 27th, 1885\" and this note: \" When Miss R. Bastedo finishes cooking in this life, she leaves this book to her beloved niece and heir, Rebecca B. Bunton. Signed, Rebecca Bastedo\". Other signatures beneath were Marion Bunton, Rebeccca Bunton, Clara J. Bunton and R. G. Bunton. The recipes were favorites collected from her friends in Burlington, such as \"Gingerbread, Mrs D. Baxter\" and \"Delicate cake, Marion B. Davidson, Sept. 3rd, 1892\". They tended to use an abundance of good local ingredients, such as \"take six cups butter\" or \"take one dozen eggs\".
