AN EARLY BAPTISMAL REGISTER, BROCKVILLE By REV. WILLIAM SMART With Introduction and Notes by MR. H. R. MORGAN An account by Holly S. Seaman of the career of the Reverend William Smart, who was the first resident Minister of the Gospel in the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville and the founder of the First Presbyterian Church in Brockville, is to be found in Vol. No. 5 of the "Papers and Records" of the Ontario Historical Society (1904). At that time there was also given a series of extracts from old registers of baptisms, marriages and deaths kept by Mr. Smart. Some months ago Dr. William Frederick Jackson, of Mowbath Hall, Brockville, discovered a further register which had been kept by Mr. Smart, having to do with baptisms which he had performed, and the contents of this register are herewith reproduced, together with the following testimonial to Mr. Smart's services, dated at Brockville, May 4, 1848, and signed by Alexander Morris, the Hon. James Morris, Dr. Robert Edmondson, Lieutenant-Colonel Ogle R. Gowan, M.P.P., Hon. George Sherwood, M.P.P., Sherrif Adiel Sherwood and Alpheus Jones (Prescott), which was found accompanying the register: "This is to certify that we, the undersigned, have been acquainted with the Rev. Mr. Smart for many years, and several of us ever since he commenced his labours in this town, and neighbourhood, which is now thirty-six years, and during that long period he has as a man and Christian minister borne an unblemished character. "He has always been faithful and zealous in promoting the doctrines of Christianity, and the diffusion of sound morality among the people, and he has ever been foremost in the promotion of every institution which had for its object the glory of God, and the spiritual and moral happiness of the community. "His love and zeal for his Sovereign and the laws and institutions of the country none can doubt, as he has at all times, both by example and precept, been faithful in the discharge of those important duties."1831.
