Honiton hears a who

I tried to find where Honiton is but it keeps showing up as a place in England where Sir Issac Brock is buried.  Did it exist in Canada before?   I am referring to this note.

No one seems post know or reply to posts about the older notes.

A very interesting question to say the least! I also could find no reference to there ever having been a Honiton in Ontario. However, there is a Honiton Street in Toronto, and perhaps elsewhere in Ontario. Two similar notes were sold at auction last summer:

Since the target area for circulating these dubious notes was the US mid west, I looked for a Honiton there some time ago with absolutely no success.  I highly doubt if the Honiton in England was intended.  It would appear that either there was a Honiton at one time whose name subsequently changed, or there never was such a place.  The latter possibility would be in keeping with this "wild cat" bank, whose purpose was to issue notes with no intention to redeem them.

Actually, Honiton is near the place where John Graves Simcoe is buried, not Brock.
