Notes
a. Note:   Baker until 1836 and supplied the militia at Niagra with bread, sold bakery to William. One of the Committee of 1000 in the march on Government House in 1831 to urge Sir John Colborne to dissolve the Legislature. He was on the first council of the city, elected for St. Davids Ward in 1834. From 1842 to 1849 he represented York Township on the district council. Elected first Counry Warden from 1850 to 1851. From 1843 to 1844 he was a churchwarden at St. Pauls in Bloor St.
 In 1842, James Hervey Price sold Castlefield to Franklin Jackes, a baker who made a fortune during a flour shortage in 1825. Flour had to come all the way from the mills at Kingston in the 1820s, and severe storms were wreaking havoc on shipping. Jackes was waiting on the wharf one day, when a desperate agent blurted that he would sell off his long overdue shipment for L5, believing it was at the bottom of Lake Ontario. Jackes took up his offer and, when the vessel later sailed into Toronto Harbour, he became a wealthy man. and moved to Eglinton. While he was clearing and ploughing fields, he turned up pottery, pipes, and spearheads from a Huron village that once occupied the site. He died of smallpox at Castlefield at forty-eight years of age and his oldest son, William, bought Castlefteld from his mother. William Jackcs sold the estate to developers in 1885. The Castlefield house remained there until it was demolished in 1918. Castlefield was a red-brick Neo-Gothic residence with four crenellated turrets. It stood east of modern Duplex Avenue. Two turrets flanked the massive double doorway. The long drive to Yonge Street (todays Castlefield Avenue) was lined with elms. There were cottages for the farmer and the coachman, several stables, a barn, with a three-acre orchard in front. http://www.lostrivers.ca/points/Castlefield.htm and http://www.virtualreferencelibrary.ca/detail.jsp?Entt=RDMDC-PICTURES-R-3903&R=DC-PICTURES-R-3903&searchPageType=vrl and http://static.torontopubliclibrary.ca/da/images/MC/pictures-r-2399.jpg
