  Taken from "The History of Simcoe County" by Andrew Hunter Found at http://www.waynecook.com/hunter.shtml#chapt.3 TECUMSETH John Totten secured a patent for thesouth-west quarter of lot, con. 2, in 1825. Alexander Totten, a member of this man's family, started a store on lot 6, con. 3, in 1835 or 1836 (before the Rebellion). They were natives of the County Armagh, Ireland. In 1840, Alex. to wife, Isabella, daughter of John Willoughby, of Newton Robinson, and this couple lived here more than fifty years. Beside them a village grew up, and when a post office was opended here in 1858, the name Tottenham was given to it out of compliment to the pioneer of the locality.
