Van Alstine later moved to Marysburgh Township in Prince Edward County near the current site of Glenora where he built a gristmill. He operated a ferry between this location and Adolphustown. A small settlement developed in the area around his mill. The old stone building that was Van Alstine's mill still stands at Glenora. Van Alstine died at Adolphustown in 1811. (en)
