      -- see Where was Egypt? Ellaton --
      hamlet in Windham Township on Lots 11, Concessions 10, west of Lynnville.
      Previously called Gibson Station for William and David Z. Gibson who
      operated a sawmill nearby. Occasionally confused with Gibson in Simcoe
      County, Ontario. Also called  Rattlesnake
      Harbour. Named Ellaton
      for William Gibson’s daughter. The 8 Mar 1882 British Canadian reported the Ellaton post office
      had revenue of $28.50 and salaries of
      $10. The 14 Mar 1888 British Canadian newspaper reported the Ellaton
      post office had revenue of $25.50 and salaries of $15 in the year ending
      30 Jun 1887. The 12 Dec 1912 Simcoe
      Reformer reported the Ellaton Post Office had revenue of $40.75 and
      salaries of $25. Today, primarily a few homes at an intersection. No community
      buildings. In the 1990s residents erected Rattlesnake
      Harbour road signs. Current official Norfolk County road signs identify
      this community as Rattlesnake Harbour [GPS:52.700/24.790] --

 Elmwood -- this name
      appears in a page 1 news report in the 19 Mar 1896  Simcoe Reformer:
      -- Lewis Cole was killed yesterday by a boiler explosion
      in H. R. Palmerton's mill near Elmwood in Charlotteville -- but Elmwood's
      precise location and other  details are unknown. Elmwood may have
      been nothing more than the name of a well-known farm. But between 1906 and
      1967 Elmwood School -- S. S. 14 Charlotteville -- was located on Lot 7,
      Concession 13, Charlotteville -- on Turkey Point Road, just north of
      Walsh. Eppels
