Early records of Twps. of Willoughby and Crowland.
EARLY CHURCHES IN THE NIAGARA PENINSULA,
STAMFORD AND CHIPPAWA, WITH MARRIAGE
RECORDS OF THOMAS CUMMINGS, AND
EXTRACTS FROM THE CUMMINGS' PAPERS.
Edited by Janet Carnochan.
The following records were obtained from various sources and
relate to three early churches of the Niagara Peninsula and to a
noted merchant of Chippawa.
The records of the Stamford Church were kindly loaned by Mr.
McMicking, and it is told with pardonable pride were once
produced in a court of justice to decide a lawsuit.
Those relating to Chippawa were rescued by Colonel Cruikshank
from an old building where old account books were found, some of
them almost undecipherable from the effects of rain and damp,
some mildewed and decayed, and now recopied by kind permission
from that gentleman's first copy.
Stamford Church was probably the first in Upper Canada, with
perhaps the exception of the Mohawk Church, near Brantford. It
is supposed to have been built in 1786 or 1787, but the earliest records
are unfortunately lost. The oldest record in the graveyard is
1793. In the session book the name is the Associate Presbyterian
Society, and the congregation is still in connection with the
churches of the United States. The faithful pastor, who for
nearly thirty years kept the records here printed, is thus
commemorated in the graveyard:
"In memory of the Rev. John Russell, D.D., Pastor of the Associate
Presbyterian congregation of Stamford, who died March 3rd,
1854, in the 58th year of his age and 28th of his ministry.
After he had served this generation, by the will of God he fell
on sleep. 'Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee a
crown of life.' Requiescat in Pace."
The marriages performed by Thomas Cummings, of which the record
is so quaintly expressed, "Be it remembered," were legal by Act
of Parliament, as if no clergyman were nearer than eighteen
miles the ceremony could he performed by a justice of the peace.
The Rev. R. Leeming did not arrive till 1820, and it is likely there was
not always a resident minister in Stamford, and Niagara, where
congregations dated from 1792, was distant eighteen miles.
Thomas Cummings was the first settler, coming in 1784, and did
an extensive business as a merchant. The books kept by him are
models of neatness, dating from 1796, and the same methodical
habits are shown in the records of his son, James Cummings.
The records of the building of the Lundy's Lane Church are
interesting, as Drummond Hill, where the present church stands,
as did also that which preceded it, was the scene of the Battle
of Lundy's Lane, the hill alternately held on that night of 25th
July by foemen using the bayonet, that hill where the next day
the bodies of the slain were consumed to ashes after a battle
the most stubbornly contested of any in the War of 1812, in
which each side claims the victory, the loss on each side nearly
equal, about 900 in killed, wounded and missing, but our forces
remaining in possession of the field and the enemy retreating,
it is with reason that we claim that Lundy's Lane was ours.
