The County of Bruce, at the time (1851) offered special inducements to men with large families who were able to dispose of their property in the older settlements, and betake themselves to the 'Queen's Bush', carrying with them the proceeds of their industry.
William Gowanlock came down the Saugeen River from Walkerton of rafts, and settled on the river banks where he made a home. Only a few settlers had preceded him, and as his house was near the river, down which most of the pioneers came, it was for years more like a hotel, than the home of a farmer.
