Notes - Jamestown is the name given to a small settlement, circa 1850, that sprang up along the boundary between Morris and Grey Townships, along the Maitland River in Southwestern Ontario, north of present day Brussels. Apparently, James' Town derived its name from the number of men in the local community with the name of James - James Aitchison, James Lynn, James Strachan, James Simpson, James Forrest and James Moses. Because of all the James' living locally, James Aitchison, a reporter from Goderich, referred to the junction as James' Town. The name changed to Jamestown through the years
