Smith Papers, Vol. B. 10, P 184). According to the church accounts, he had the contract for the stone wall around the Church yard and the burying ground in 1800 and 1808-9. In the first mentioned year he received four several payments on account between June 16 and December 10, £6, £8, £1, 7, 1, and £2, 10. The second of these has after it "Alm Money." On April 6, 1801, the account seems to have been closed by the payment of £15, 11, 8. Two days before is the entry "By 99 Toises dry Wall round the Burying Ground @ 11/8, £57, 15." On September 5, 1808, he was paid £14, 0, 11 3/4; on June 23, 1809, £24, 9, 3 3/4 and at a later date in the same year £14, 1, 6 1/2,; and on January 6, 1810, "the balce for 148 2/3 Toises Stone wall around the Burying Ground £7, 2, 2 1/2."

W. Smith Papers Vol B 10, PP 168 and 217). Cassady, Elizabeth-D. of Henry* & Elizabeth Cassady (Cassidy?); Sp.-James Rankin, Margaret Johnson, Mary Wilkins; do. *In 1801 the Claims Board allowed Henry Cassidy, of the Town of Kingston, Blacksmith, Lot 95, Kingston, originally drawn by Richard Campbell (D. W, Smith Papers, Vol. B 10, P 809). Ellerbeck had purchased under Campbell, the original nominee (Ibid P. 321). Cassidy is mentioned in the Church accounts as receiving 17/6 on April 24, 1800, for making Stove pipes. On December 23, 1792, it was only "the Blacksmith" who received 7/6 for making the pip (Sic) for the Church Stove. Franklin, Elizabeth-D. of Joseph & Margaret Franklin; Sp.-David & Mary Magdalen Brass; 12th, March.

He had already received 1200 acres and was entitled, according to the entry, to 800 more (Quebec Land Book for Upper Canada, P 300). This was confirmed on August 15, 1791 (Ibid, PP 303-4). On the continuation of the Land Boards to June 1, 1793, Hector McLean was by Order in Council of June 28, 1791, a member of that of Mecklenburg (Ibid, P 286). He was subsequently a member of the one for the County of Frontenac (U.C. Land and State Book, A, P 40). McMullan, Mary-D. of Neil McMullan, Eliz McMuIlan; Sp.-Dr. James Latham; Hector & ?? McLean; do. 11th. Loyd, Catharine-D. of John & Mary Loyd; Sp.-Do., James Latham, Hector & ?? McLean; do. Walker, Joseph-S. of Edward & Christiana Walker; Sp.-Robert Walker,* Peter Lenier, Jane Bell; July 2d. *Robert Walker was one of the proprietors of Walker's Tavern, which was known latterly as The British American Hotel. In the Kingston qazette of June 9 1812, appeared an account of a King's Birthday dinner which was held there. "And the day was spent in those effusions of loyalty which our situation and the numerous benefits which have been conferred upon us by his Majesty's government, naturally inspire." Bailley, Elizabeth-D. of John Bailley, Ann Bailley; Sp.-Wm. Stoughton, Ann Stoughton; [July] 9th. Good, Elizabeth-D. of William & Hannah Good;* Sp.-Jno. Darley, Elizh. Burnett, Barbara McDougall; [July] 16th. *Hannah Goode of the Town of Kingston claimed Lot No. 9. in 1801 (D. W. Smith Papers, Vol B 10, P 304). The Lot was allowed to Hanah Darly, she having married John Darly (Ibid, P 321). Darley himself claimed, in 1797, lands in Loughborough, Pittsburgh, and the East side of the Grand River Cataraqui, said to be Pittsburgh. The lots in Loughborough he had bought from Charles Holmes and Christian Fanfan, who had left the Province (Ibid, PP 167, 168, 177, 217, 221, 222). Elizabeth and Mary Ann Goode were allowed Lot 13, Concession 1, Loughborough, which had been drawn by William Goode and Alexander Morton (ibid, P 305). Spencer, William Taylor-S. of Hazleton Spencer,* Margaret Spencer; S.-Nathani[e]l Taylor, Wm. Coffin, Ann Smith; Augt. 27th. *On the 20th of October, 1792, His Excellency John Graves Simcoe, Lieutenant-Governor of the Province, appointed Major Hazelton Spencer a member of the new Land Board for the Counties of Lenox, Addington, Hastings, and Prince Edward, his fellow members being Peter Van Alstine, Alexander Fisher. Archibald McDonell, and Joshua Booth (U.C. Land and State Book A, P. 41). He was a member of the Commons' House of Assembly in the first Parliament of Upper Canada, 1792-1796, representing Lenox, Hastings, and Northumberland (W. Wilfred Campbell's List, P 170). He was also a J.P., a Colonel of Militia, and Lieutenant of the County of Lenox. His fellow magistrates were lenient with him on January 28, 1808, when he was tried by them, for they fined him only a penny, at their Sessions held at Adolphustown. In 1798 and 1799 he sat with the Chief Justice, the Hon. Richard Cartwright, Messrs. Joshua Booth, Alexander Fisher, William Atkinson, and Archibald McDonell on the Land Claims Board of the Midland District. Before this Board some of his own claims were prosecuted (D. W. Smith Papers, Vol. B 10, PP 167 and 218). They were apparently based upon purchases in Fredericksburg. The one vendor wasa5 soldier and had left the Province the other had not been a permanent settler. On July 8, 1795, he had been granted 600 acres in the Township of Flamborough, in the Midland District, adjoining lands belonging to Owen Richards, in the 2nd Concession East of the East Lake in the said Township (Ibid. Vol II, P 55). Two years previously (on July 23, 1793) he had been granted 1000 acres on La Tranche highway, in a Township behind Burlington Bay (Q 282, I, P 345). As early as November 24, 1784, he had signed the petition for the repeal of the Quebec Act, "late Lient 2nd Bn. K. R. Regt., New York" being appended to the signature. On December 14 of the same year he petitioned, with Oliver Church and John Dusenbury, also former officers, for leave to go to the United States to settle their affairs (Q 24, I, PP 1-16 and 262). Hesse, John-S. of John & Margaret Hesse; Sp.-John Stover, Jennet McDonell; 17th Sepr. Baker, Margaret Harriet-D. of John & Mary Baker; Sp.-Maurice Brisson, Margaret Do.; do. Bartell, William John, Peter-S's of Justus & Hannah Bartell; Sp.-John Darley, Peter Grass, Barbara McDougall; do.

Burnet[t], Catharine-D. of John* & Elizabeth Burnet[t]; Sp.-John Grass, Phoebe Rankin; 31 Decr. *John Burnett, when applying in 1801 for Lot 9, Concession 2, Township of Kingston, was described as "of the Township of Kingston." The Lot, drawn originally by George Galloway, was adjudged to Thomas Burnett, of Kingston, yeoman, under a family arrangement (D. W. Smith Papers, Vol B 10, PP 308 and 321). 1798-32 Baptisms for Six Months. Grant, Jane-D. of John & Frances Grant; Sp.-Wm. & Lisette McDonell; 14th Jany. Milton, Ann Johnson-D. of John & Jane Milton; Sp.-John & Helena Ferguson; 14th Jany. Paxton, James-S. of Thomas* & Jane Paxton; Sp.-Hugh Earl,** Jno. Frederick Dame; Angelike Fortier; 21st [Jany.]. *This was Capt Thomas Paxton, Master of the Government ship Speedy, which foundered on the night of October 7-8, 1804, with the loss of all on board, off Presqu'isle, when conveying Mr. Justice Cochrane, Mr. Solicitor-General Gray, and some twenty other persons from York to Newcastle for the Assizes of the Newcastle District (Col. John Clark: Recollections; and Dr. Canniff: Settlement of Upper Canada, PP 151-2). "She had reached her (destination) so near, the evening previous to her disappearance, as to be seen in the offing but a few miles distant. A gale springing up suddenly from the North, which continued through the night and the next day, she was driven off and, like the ill fated Ontario, was never seen or heard of afterward. - - - - The widow of Capt Paxton was left with a large dependent family at Kingston. - - - - The widow drew a small pension of $100 per annum during her life, which continued till within a few years since. She died at Sandwich while residing with her son Henry, who is since deceased." (Bishop Richardson: Reminiscences.) Further accounts of the wreck of the Speedy can be read in Canon Scadding's Toronto of Old, PP 291-2 and 528-9, and State Papers, Upper Canada Q. 299, P. 172. Capt Paxton's name appeared for Lot 102 on the Old Plan of Newark ou May 11, 1795 (D. W. Smith Papers, Vol B, P 37). In 1797 he was "Recommended for a back Lot in the Town of York, to be appropriated for 12 months on condition of improving within that time." U. C. Land Book C., p 60. Some of his lands seem to have passed into the hands of Mr. Thomas Ridout and ultimately into those of the first Rector of York, the Revd. Thomas Raddish, M.A. (Oxon). Mrs. Paxton was the daughter of Michael Lavetré, "an old Servant of the King," who served His Majesty faithfully "In quality of Master Carpenter on Lake Ontario". For that reason she was, on October 3, 1796, ordered 200 acres, with other 200 to enable her to educate her four children (Q 285, P 255). **Lieut Earl was in the Provincial Marine. On March 31, 1797, he was granted 1200 acres of land, including former grants (U. C. Land Book B, P 290). Earl St. appears to have been so called because of him. See also the note on Mrs. Mary Brand. Forsyth, William Alexander-S. of Joseph & Ann Forsyth; Sp.-Alexander Aitken, Magdalen Cartwright; 28 [Jany.].

Sheeler, Mary-D. of John & Mary Sheeler; Sp.-John* & Dorothy Stover; do. *John Stauber, whose surname is variously spelled Stauver, Stover, Stouber, Stober, joined Lodge No. 6 A.F. & A.M. in 1798. On March 10, 1805, according to Mr. J. Ross Robertson, but on March 6, according to the Parish Register, Bro. Stauber was buried, with Masonic honours. On July 4 of the same year there is mention of Mrs. Stauber in connection with the presentation of "a pair of elegant candlesticks" (History of Freemasonry in Canada). Peters, Charles Jeffries*-Bapd at the Same Time, 29th. *Apparently, though not certainly, this was an adult. A man of the same came was admitted as a Barrister by the Law Society of Upper Canada on June 4. 1798 (Roll of the Law Society). On October 8, 1796, he was ordered 1200 acres of land, presumably on the strength of his being a Barrister, and a Town Lot in Kingston (Q 285, P 283, and U. C. Land Book B. P. 168). In 1797 he claimed Lot 8, Concession 3, and Lot 16, Concession 6, Township of Kingston, Lot II., Concession 6, Township 8, Sidney, and Lots 128, 129, 132, and 133 in the Town of Kingston (D. W. Smith Papers, Vol B. 10 P 171). Merril(l), Sarah-D. of Samuel & Mary Merril(l) ; Sp.-James Robinson, Lucretia Plummer; 20th May. Anderson, William-S. of Alexander* & Elizabeth Anderson; Sp.-John & Hannah Darley; do. *In 1797 Alexander Anderson claimed the East 1/2 of Lot 15, Concession 1, Township of Kingston (D. W. Smith Papers, Vol B. 10, P 178). Gates, Joseph-S. of Abel* & Mary Gates; Sp.-William Baker,** William McDonnell, Elizabeth Peters;*** July 1st. *The History of Freemasonry in Canada notes that Abel Gates joined Lodge No. 6 A.F. & A.M. in 1794. **William Baker made very early application for lands in York, his Petition being read in Council on June 15, 1793. The note upon it reads "To stand over till arrangements are completed" (Q 282, I, P 309). ***Elizabeth Peters was apparently the wife of Charles J. Peters. A woman of that name was said by Mr. Secretary Small, in writing to Mr. Surveyor-General Smith on April 30, 1801, to have removed to St. John, N.B., with her husband. (D. W. Smith Papers, Vol. A 7, P 199.) Mr. Secretary Jarvis' wife was a Misa Peters before her marriage, and so was Mrs. Buell of Brockville. Mrs. Jarvis had a brother in Newark and, later apparently, in York, who is mentioned in the records of the Executive Council, W. Birdseye Peters. Rosbeck, Nicholas-S. of Peter & Margaret Rosbeck; Sp.-Neil & Elizabeth McMullan; July 15th.

There it is spelled Seleck and Selleck. Badgley, Mary-D. of Matthias & Rachel Badgley; Sp.-William & Mary Atkinson; [Augt] 12th. Pourrier, Maria Josepha-D. of Antoine Pourrier, Mary Pourrier; Sp.-Joseph Potts, Mary Do.; [Aug 12th].

Robinson, Esther Robinson; Sp.-Thomas & Catharine Markland; [Sepr 23?] Robinson, Benjamin William*-S. of Christan (?) Robinson, Esther Robinson; Sp.-Robert MaCauley (MaCaulay), Ann Macaulay; Sepr 23. *These are evidently the two youngest children of Christopher Robinson, some time Ensign in the Queen's Rangers (First American Regiment), commanded by Lt-Col John Graves Simeoe, who later became the first Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada. As such, he applied for military lands on October 17, 1792. (U. C. Land and State Book A, P 30), alleging that he had received only 55 acres as yet (Q 282, I, P 261). On September 2, 1791, he was granted 600 acres in Ameliasburgh "near the Carrying Place," and 1200 acres for his wife and four children on August 14, 1795. In 1795 and 1796 there are entries of Town Lots for him in York (U. C. Land Books B, P 140, and C. PP 64 and 89; also Q 282 I, P 352 and Q 285, P 25). Mr. Robinson was horn in 1763 in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, the son of William Robinson, and he was educated at William and Mary College. After the Revolutionary War he went to New Brunswick, where he married, in 1784, Esther, daughter of the Revd. John Sayer. In 1788, being on half-pay, he removed to Lower Canada, where several of his children were born, among them John Beverley, the future Chief Justice and Baronet, who was brought up in part by Dr. Stuart. From 1792 to 1798 Mr. Robinson Ilved in Kingston, acting as Deputy Ranger of H.M. Woods and Forests in Upper Canada and also practisiog Law. He was a Bencher of the Law Society and he represented Lenox and Addington in the Second Parliament of Upper Canada. In October, 1798, he removed to York, where he died three weeks later, on November 2, leaving six children in all. Mrs. Robinson married Mr. Beman on September 5, 1802. He, Dr. Stuart, and Mr. Strachan seem to have all been anxious to play the part of father to John Beverley. (Major-General C. W. Robinson, C.B.: Life of Sir John Beverley, Robinson, Bart., PP 4-22). Esther Robinson, whose baptism is here recorded, died unmarried in 1811 Op. cit, P 449. Benjamin William is called by his nephew (Op cit) William Benjamin. His birth took place on December 22, 1197. He represented Simcoe in the House of Assembly for twenty-five years and held the offices of Inspector-General and Executive Councillor. From 1846 to 1847 he was Chief Commissioner for Public Works; in 1850 Commissioner for making a treaty with the Indians on the north shores of Lakes Huron and Superior; and a Commissioner of the Canada Company. He married Eliza Anne, daughter of Col William Jarvis, the earliest Secretary of the Province; and he died at Toronto, without offspring, in 1873.

Cartwright, Thomas Robinson*-S. of Richd Cartwright, Magdalen Cartwright; Sp.-Robert Macaulay, Ann Macaulay; do. *The family monument in St. Paul's Church Yard gives the name correctly. Thomas Robison Cartwright, and records the date of his birth as January 13, 1799. He died, without offspring, on June 2, 1826, having married on January 29, 1821, according to George Okill Stuart's Register Anne Fisher of Adolphustown. On his father's death, in 1815, he and his twin brothers were left under the guardianship of the Revd. Dr. Strachan, by whom the following "Instructions" were given to him on September 11, 1815. "You will write your Mother often. You must never do anything that you are convinced your excellent Father would have disapproved. "You will study French-Take lessons In Dancing & Horsemanship when opportunity serves. You will always bear in mind that you are to spend your Life in Canada, where it is expected that you will support the reputation of Your Family. "You will likewise remember that you return to apply yourself to Business, which is necessary as well to give you a proper place in Society as to supply the means of living comfortably, to which your private inheritance is not adequate. "I say nothing about writing to me-in this & many other things your heart will direct you-Your Father's most intimate Friend will look Forward with anxiety to your Progress in virtue & happiness & will rejoice to see You imitating the Honourable Example of your Beloved Father," Writing to Capt, Dobbs on May 2 following, he says, according to the notes of a letter which have been preserved: "Thomas to learn riding, dancing, & fencing-do not wish him to study much-a taste for reading necessary in this country."

Hesse, Jonathan-S. of John & Margaret Hesse; Sp.-Jonathan Sawyer,* Mary Sawyer; Jan 19th. *Possibly this is the same name as Jonathan Sayers, given in the History of Freemasonry in Canada.

Like other officers, he took to sailing vessels on the Lake, being in command of the Simcoe in both 1801 and 1807. In the former year Mr. Cartwright tells of her being damaged on her upward trip, some goods having been carried on the deck and in the cabin because of a promise of half charges on these goods. For this overloading Mr. Forsyth had given his consent, according to a letter written to the Hon Robert Hamilton on July 31 (Shortt Collection). In Diary of my Dinners, Mr. Frobisher tells of travelling on the Simcoe with Capt. Sampson on June 13, 1807. On June 10, 1797, the Captain had been entered for a lot on the south side of King St., York, at the point where the modern Yonge St intersects it (D. W. Smith Papers). He had become a member of Lodge No. 6 in 1794 (History of Freemasonry in Canada). Murnay, Henry James-S. of Henry James Murnay [Murney],* Christina Shockensy; Sp.-James & Sarah Bennett; do. *Capt. Murney, whose name has been perpetuated in the Murney Tower and in Murney Point (formerly Grass's Point), is described in his application for 1200 acres of land and a Town Lot in Kingston on July 3, 1795, as "Master of the Merchant vessel." He received 200 acres; and, according to Bishop Richardson's Reminiscences, he purchased the Point from Capt Grass. (U.C. Land and State Book A, P 242). According to Col John Clark's Memoirs, he married a Miss "Smith" of Kingston. The note on the Smyth family shews who she was. The same gentleman is authority for the statement that the Hon. Edward Murney, M.P.P., was a son of the Captain. About 1800 or 1801 the latter built, in the County of Prince Edward, "a Schooner of Red Cedar. which vessel was named the Prince Edevard. - - - - In the year 1812, this Schooner was in good condition and was employed as a Government Armed Vessel on Lake Ontario." - - -"He was a noble Captain of a Staunch good Ship." As early as December 1, 1801, he is mentioned by Mr. Cartwright as Master of the Prince Edward when the former was writing to Messrs. John and James McGreggor (Letter Book, Shortt Collection).

He was a constable for the town in 1809. Fleming, Anna Maria-D. of David & Mary Fleming; Sp.-John* & Mary McGill; 7th Septr. *This in all probability was the Hon. John McGill (1752-1834), who had served under Major-General Simcoe in the Queen's Rangers and who, after a few years spent in New Brunswick, had followed him to Upper Canada on his appointment to the Lieutenant-Governorship of the Province. On July 10, 1793, Mr. McGill, like other officers, was granted 1000 acres of his military lands on the Burlington-La Tranche highway, the original Dundas St (U.C. Land and State Book A. P 124). On July 27, 1795, to make up the remainder of what he was entitled to, he applied for land on the west side of "Young" St, in the Township of Whitby, or Darlington, "or any other Township on the north side of Lake Ontario" (Ibid P 276). On July 5, 1796, he was granted half of a Front Block in York; and on October 4 in the same year Mrs. McGill received 1200 acres of land in the same way as Mrs. Alexander Grant, Mrs. AEneas Shaw, Mrs. D. W. Smith, Mrs. John Small, and Mrs. William Jarvis (Ibid, P 276, and Land Book B, PP 18, 19, 32). Just before the Lieutenant-Governor returned to England on leave of absence, in 1796, Mr. McGill was summoned to the Executive Council of the Province and a year later to the Legislative Council. Still later he was made Inspector-General of Accounts. On his arrival in the Province he had been appointed Commissary of Stores, with headquarters at Newark; and as such he had correspondence with the Hon Richard Cartwright, who had contracts for army supplies. From Newark Mr. McGill, with the other Government officials, removed to York after Parliament began to meet there, in 1797. The ground surrounding the Metropolitan Church in Toronto was a part of his park lot. Fleming, Thomas-S. of David & Mary Fleming; Sp.-Thomas Sparham & Frederica Ferguson; [7th Septr.].

A Robert Richardson was ordered a Town Lot in Newark on October 8, 1796 (Q 285, P 269). Another, apparently of the next generation, was recommended to Col (afterwards General) AEneas Shaw by the Hon Richard Cartwright for an Ensign's commission on July 25, 1810, and was described as "a very steady & deserving young man."

Richardson, William-S. of Dr. Robert & Magdalene Richardson; Sp.-Coll Samuel* & Jane Smith, Lieut John McGill; Feby 8th. *This evidently was the future administrator of the Province (1817-1819 and 1820). He was born at Hempstead, N.Y., on the 27th of December, 1756. Like Capts Jarvis, McGill, Shaw, Lieut Allan Macnab, and Ensign Robinson, he had served under Simcoe in the Queen's Rangers. He too had settled first in New Brunswick and had come to Upper Canada on Simcoe's appointment as Lieutenant-Governor. On July 23, 1793, he received a military grant of 1000 acres on the Burlington-La Tranche highway (Dundas St) and later on a considerable tract in the Township of Etobicoke. He rose to Colonel's rank and became a member of the Executive Council on October 14, 1815, at the same time as Dr. Strachan. According to Dr. Scadding, his town house was in Richmond St, York. He married, on October 22, 1799, Jane Isabella, daughter of Dr. Clark, and, therefore, sister to Dr. Gamble's wife. By his wife he had two sons, James Alexander and Samuel Boies, the latter of whom is said to have left a legacy, in 1852, to the Church of the Ascension, Toronto. Mrs. Smith died on the 20th of September, 1826, and the Colonel one month later, October 20. His funeral sermon was preached by the Revd. Dr. Phillips, Principal of the Blue School at York, who in 1829 became Vice-Principal of Upper Canada College and still later Rector of Weston. (U. C.

They, with their brother Nicholas, a "yeoman," and their Sisters, Catharine (Mrs. Markland) and Jane (Mrs. Anderson), applied for confirmation to them of lands in the Township of Kingston, in the eastern addition of the Township, and On the west side of the Grand River Cataraqui (D. W. Smith Papers Vol. B PP 183, 299, 301, 302). Mrs. Markland and Jacob Herchmer, on applying for land as Loyalists, were granted 600 acres each as "the Son and the Daughter of a Captain" (U. C. Land Book C. P 61). Lawrence was also one of the trustees of the triangular piece of land marked F, which was granted for school purposes in 1816 (U. C. Land Book I, P 324). **Joseph Anderson, who has been already seen in the character of a Warden for 1790, claimed, in 1797, Lot 3, east side of the Grand River Cataraqui, which, like other such, was returned as being in Pittsburgh (D. W. Smith Papers Vol B. 10, PP 178, 183). On April 25, 1797, he was recommended as a proper person to be a Coroner. ***John Kirby, who has been before noticed in Connection with the Macaulay family, was recommended for a Town Lot in Kingston on July 21, 1807 (U.

He was then doing repairs on the Simeoe, furnishing labour, plank, timber, etc., and was finding himself and workmen in provisions. £33O was the consideration, the owners finding pitch, oakum. iron, and other stores. "He will probably make Money by the Jobb; but the Owners will also benefit from its being done in this way. For such a Business undertaken by Days Work where a Number of People must be employed in getting Timber, sawing Plank &c. without any Person acquainted with the Business & interested in seeing that they did their Duty would soon swell an Account to a much larger Sum" (Letter Book, Shortt Collection).

The petition was granted. An interesting entry for him is found in the council Minutes for October 8, 1796, in connection with an application for the grant of Lot No. 12 on the east side of the Don (Q 285, P 268). He had settled in the Province of New York in 1779 and, after the Revolutionary War, he had removed to New Brunswick. In 1793 he was at Newark as Surgeon to the Queen's Rangers and subsequently at York. On the disbanding of the corps, in 1802, he removed to Kingston, whence the family returned to York in 1820. He was born in 1756, married in 1784 Isabella Elizabeth Clarke (or Clark), a sister, as already pointed out, of Mrs. Samuel Smith of York and Etobicoke, and he died in 1811. Descendants, of his own and other names, are still living in Toronto and other parts of Canada. Rachel Cruickshank Gamble became Lady Macaulay, wife of Sir James Buchanan Maculay.

Cartwright, Robert David*-S. of Richard Cartwright, Magdalen Cartwright; Sp.-Richd Robinson (Robison) for Thomas Robinson (Robison), Mary Robinson (Robison) for Elizabeth Robinson (Robison); do. *These were twin sons of the Hon. Richard Cartwright. Like their elder brother Thomas Robison, they were wards of Dr. Strachan. Their birth occurred on the 17th of September, 1804; and only through them the family name was continued. John Solomon married on January 11, 1830, Sarah Hayter Macaulay, who was born March 3, 1809, and died August 24, 1866. They had issue Richard, James Strachan (late of Osgoode Hall), John Robison (late Deputy Attorney-General for Ontario), Elizabeth Rachel, who died in infancy, Anne Macaulay (Mrs. Van Straubenzie), Mary Magdalen (the late Mrs. John D'Arcy Cayley, of Toronto), and Sarah Stuart (the late Mrs. Thomas Bedford Jones, of Brockville). Those names are to be found in connection with the recent war and with the work of the Church and of education of the present day. (Chadwick: Ontarian Families.) John Solomon was educated at Oxford and was called to the English Bar, with a view, apparently, of practising in the Old Country if by any chance Canada should become a part of the United States of America. He is said not to have believed in responsible government and to have refused cabinet office accordingly. He sat in Parliament for Lennox and Addington from 1836 to 1841 and he became a judge, having been called to the Bar of Upper Canada on April 27, 1837. (Family tradition and Herrington: History of Lennox and Addington.) The Revd. Robert David Cartwright was also educated at Oxford and from 1831 to 1843 he was Assistant Minister of St. George's, Kingston. From time to time he rescued from oblivion baptismal and other entries made by Archdeacon George Okill Stuart, after the manner of his father, in private notebooks, He is said to have been unremitting in his labours during the visitation of the cholera in 1832-4. He was also a chaplain to the Forces. (Chadwick: Op. Cit; Starr: Old St. George's.) He married Harriet, daughter of Conway Edward Dobbs, of Dublin, Ireland, who died in 1887. They had issue Conway Richard, who died in infancy, (Sir) Richard John, Minister of Finance in the Mackenzie administration and Minister of Trade and Commerce in Sir Wilfrid Laurier's cabinet; Conway Edward, Clerk in Holy Orders and late Chaplain to the Penitentiary; Robert Dobbs, who died without issue. The Revd. Conway Edward Cartwright published a selection of his grandfather's letters together with Dr. Strachan's eulogy taken from the Funeral Sermon already referred to. The Letter Book from which Mr. Cartwright made his extracts is in the library of Queen's University, Kingston.

He died in Kingston and was buried there on December 26, 1816. He married Mary Rose, "of Lower Canada," who was buried in Kingston on June 27, 1815. Besides Jane Isabella they had four other children, only one of whom appears to have survived. He was Charles, the Registrar of Kington from 1840 to 1850. (Headstones in the Stuart plot, St. Paul's Churchyard, Kingston; Archdeacon George Okill Stuart's Registrar; and Letter of Mr. J. P. Gildersleeve). Charles Stuart, Sr, like his brothers, was ordered, on September 1, 1797, 400 acres "when of age" (U. C. Land Book C, PP 214-5). On June 2, 1798, he and John were ordered 600 acres when they should set up in business for themselves (D. W. Smith Papers, Vol. A 6, P 2011, and U.C. Land Book D, P. 119). In 1801, as appears from a letter written by Mr. Cartwright to Messrs. J. and A. McGill, on July 27, in reference to the purchase of a farm near Oswegatchie, John and Charles had recently been burned out at that place (Shortt Collection). Apparently they were then in partnership, though subsequently, as it would seem, Charles was in business alone at Adolphustown. According to the record of the Sessions held at that place in January, 1807, a Charles Stuart was bound in the sum of £50 to appear at the next Assizes, but on January 26, 1808, there is an order of the magistrates for the payment of 14/ to Sheriff Stuart. In the Kingston Gazette of March. 5, 1811, he as Sheriff makes demand on lessees of Crown and Clergy Reserves for payment of moneys due. He held the office down to the date of his death.

He had also served, he stated, through the Seven Years War. He was granted 1500 acres in addition to 500 previously given to him at the reduction on the making of peace (U. C. Land and State Book A. P 270). In the Quebec Land Book (Upper Canada) he is referred to, on July 29, 1791, as Barrack Master as well at Hospital Mate, in a Report on the Minutes of the Land Board of Mecklenburg. Land being more difficult to obtain before the division of the Province of Quebec than it afterwards was, he was declared "not entitled under these Orders in Council to be placed on a parity with subalterns of the 84th Regiment"-the Royal Highland Emigrants.

He seems to have practised In London in partnership with his (double) cousin John Stuart, son of Mr. Sheriff Stuart, of Brockville.

The former had gone down to Brockville to baptize his grandson, John Stuart, and, while there, he had baptized also the children of the four other families. There being no church at Brockville (Elizabethtown), the baptisms were performed at Oswegatchie (Prescott), probably in the Blue church in the township of Augusta. The original Blue church is supposed to have been built in or about 1790, according to papers still extant. The Prescott Journal, November 2, 1916. William Buell, for such is the proper spelling of the same. counts as one of the founders of Brockville and the Hon Charles Jones as the other. They each wanted to call the town by his own name. Accordingly maps bearing the names Williamstown and Charlestown respectively were issued in 1811 and 1812. In the latter year, after General Brock's capture of Detroit, both of these names gave place to Brockville. William Buell's earliest American ancestor, also William Buell, came from the neighbourhood of Chesterton, Huntingdonshire, England. The founder of Brockville was born in Hebron, Conn., on the 5th of October, 1711***, the son of Timothy Buell and Mercy Peters, sister of the Revd, Samuel Peters, D.D., who was recommended for the proposed bishopric of Upper Canada by Col John Graves Simcoe before he left England to assume office as Lieutenant-Governor of the province. Thus Mr. Buell was a first cousin of Hannah Peters, wife of William Jarvis, the first Secretary of the province. [*** This October 5th, 1711 date is incorrect, with the following information supplied by an interested Peters researcher. Timothy Buell and Mercy Peters married on January 23, 1750 at Hebron as per the Barbour Records at the Douglas Library, Hebron, Conn. Timothy was b. November 20, 1732, son of Timothy Buell and Hannah Bradford and Mercy Peters was b. March 26, 1730, daughter of John Peters and Mary Marks.] In a company Order Book of the King's Royal Borderers, in the possession of Lient-Col W. S. Buell, D.S.O., of Vancouver, from whom much of the information here set out has been obtained, William Buell appears as a Lieutenant of that corps in 1781-1782. He was a despatch-bearer and was present at the surrender of General Burgoyne, becoming a prisoner. Settling in Upper canada in 1785, he is understood to have built the first house in Brockville. He became a Lieut-colonel of Militia, as did his son, his grandson, and his great-grandson in their turn. He gave sites for the court-house and for the Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist, and Roman catholic churches in Brockville. In the second Parliament of Upper Canada he sat as member for Leeds. On March 10, 1782, he married at St. John's, P.Q., Martha Norton, U.E.L., from Farmington, Conn. As his second wife he married Mrs. Margaret Bernard, by whom he had one daughter, Mrs. Robert Findlay. He died on the 8th of August, 1832. By his first wife he had, besides the children mentioned in the text, one son, William Buell, and one daughter, Charlotte. Charlotte married the late John McLennan of Montreal and Lancaster, Ontario. William Buell, Jr, served in the War of 1812 (Medal) and was severely wounded at Chrysler's Farm. He sat in the 10th and 11th Parliaments of Upper Canada as member for Leeds and Grenville, 1828 to 1834. He founded the Brockville Recorder and owned it from 1821 to 1840. William Buell, Jr, married (1) Mary Angelica Shorey, (2) Mrs. Deborah Catherine Clark, née Beverley. By the former he had issue Martha Mary, who married Stephen Washburn of Potsdam, N.Y.; Elisha; and William Oscar, late ot Perth, Ontario, barrister. By the latter he had Angelica, who married Alexander Stuart, of Belleville, Ontario; Catherine Thomson, who married Alexander Mills of New York; Jacob Dockstader, who married Margaret Senkler, daughter of the Revd E. J. Senkler and sister of the late Judge Senkler of Perth and the late Judge Senkler of St. catharines; Josephine Deborah, who married John Chislett, of Pittsburgh, Pa. Andrew Norton Buell, second son of William and Martha Buell, was by profession a lawyer, Treasurer of the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, Registrar, Accountant, and Master of the Court of Chancery, and Clerk of the Crown in the Court of Common Pleas. He married Calcina ??. Their eldest child, Medora Calcina, married Alexander Cameron, Q.C., of Toronto, father of Mr. Alfred Buell Cameron, of Toronto, barrister. Joseph Peters, which it appears the name ought to be, instead of Joseph Pickles, married Elizabeth Hewitt. Two of their children still live in Brockville, Charles H. Buell, retired manufacturer, and Helen, Mrs. Robert Kinney. Phoebe Buell, daughter of William and Martha Buell, married Stephen Richards. Their eldest son became chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada and was knighted. The second, Stephen, was a barrister, Treasurer of the Law Society of Upper Canada, and some time Provincial Secretary and Commissioner of Crown Lands for the Province of Ontario. A son, Albert Elswood Richards, was at the time of his death, in 1917, a Justice of the Manitoba Court of Appeal. His eldest son, Stephen Elswood, by his wife, Edith Henderson, of Kingston, is a K.C. in Winnipeg. The third son of Stephen and Phoebe Richards, the Hon. Albert Norton Richards was at various times M.P.P. for South Leeds, M.P., Solicitor-General for Canada West (1863-1864), Attorney-General for Manitoba, and Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia. Emily, a daughter of the Hon. Albert Norton Richards, married the late Henry J. Morgan, LL.D., author of Canadian Men and Women. etc. Another daughter, Margaret Hargrave, married J. H. Senkler, K.C., son of the late Judge Senkler of St. Catharines, Ontario. In addition to these three sons, Stephen and Phoebe Richards had a daughter Sarah, who married J.J. Sippel, one of the engineers of The Victoria Bridge, Montreal. Martha Buell, daughter of William and Martha Buell (mentioned in the text), married Andrew Mair. A daughter of theirs married the late John McLennan of Montreal and Lancaster, Ontario. Sabina and Timothy Buell, fifth and seventh children respectively of William and Martha Buell, died unmarried. Sherwood, Julia and Maria-Ch of Adiel Sherwood* and Polly Sherwood; March 9th. *Adiel Sherwood, according to a memorandum signed by J. Small, Clerk of the Executive Council of Upper Canada, was granted 400 acres of land on June 30, 1797, and was the son of Thomas Sherwood, Esq., of Elizabeth Town, a U.E. D. W. Smith Papers, Vol. A 7. P 167). Three men of the name have distinguished themselves-the late Justus Sherwood, who had much to do with settling the Loyalists and is commemorated by a tablet in St. John's Church, Prescott: the late Mr. Justice Sherwood, of Toronto; and Col Sir Percy Sherwood, of Ottawa. Stuart, John*-S. of John and Sophia Stuart; Sp.-Revd J Stuart, Ephraim Jones, Esq; March 10th. *As already noted, John Stuart practised Law in London. U.C.. with his cousin, Stuart Jones, removing later to Toronto. He was called to the Bar on February 8, 1832 (Roll of tho Law Society). He married June 11, 1834, Elizabeth Van Rensellaer, fourth daughter of Dr. Grant Powell and granddaughter of the Hon William Dummer Powell, U.E., some time Chief Justice of Upper Canada. She bore him one son and three daughters (Chadwick: Ontarian Families). One of the daughters is Mrs. Wyndham, of Okotoks, Alberta, and the other survivor Mrs. Kingscote, of Bristol, England. The Hon. Ephraim Jones, M.L.C., known also as Mr. Commissary Jones, was the ninth son of Col. Elisha Jones (1710-1775), M.L.A., J.P., a Loyalist, and a great-grandson of Lewis Jones (1600?-1684), who migrated from Berkshire, England to Watertown, Mass., in 1620. Ephraim Jones (b. April 27, 1750. d. January 21, 1812) had lived in the Mohawk Valley in the province of New York, and had served in the Seven Years War, apparently, for which he received a pension. He was one of the earliest settlers in Elizabeth Town and one of the earliest merchants in Brockville. He was a J.P., a Member of the Land Board for Grenville and Leeds, of the first Parliament of Upper Canada (1792-6), representing Grenville, and of the Land Claims' Board (1800-1). He was twice married, having issue by the first wife only. His first wife was Charlotte Coursolles ("obiit 28th September, 1803, Aet. 50"), a daughter of Michel Coursolles (or Coursol?), of Verchères. His second wife was Margaret S. Beek (or on the tombstone "Beke"), who died "January 9, 1852, aged 84 years," The most distinguished of his six sons were the Hon. Charles, who married Mary Stuart, q.v., and the Hon. Jonas, who became a Justice and the father, among others, of Mrs. John McCaul, Mrs. John Strachan, Jr, Mr. Clarkson Jones, and the Revd. Professor Jones, of Trinity College, all deceased.

Bottom, Elijah, Molly Theresa, Harriet, Sarah Louisa-Ch. of Lt Botom;* Mar 12th. *There are several references to Lieut. Bottom in the History of Freemasonry in Canada, from which it appears that subsequently to the date of this entry he had become a Captain. He is given as treasurer of Lodge No. 7 at New Oswegatchie. He is thus described at page 293: "Capt Elijah Bottom, a large & portly person, having at his side a formidable basket-hilted claymore, then addressed them in brief military phrase, and gave one of the old war slogans." This was at the welcome given to Col and Mrs Simcoe in 1792. Lt. or Capt. Bottom occupied Lot 27, Concession I, in the Township of Augusta.

In a letter of 1810, written by Dr. Stuart to Mr Strachan, in Cornwall, and quoted by Bishop Bethune on page 16 of his Memoir of Bishop Strachan he is described as "a good, indeed an excellent young man," who wished to study for the ministry. This he did not do, but he became a member eventually of the Legislative Council of the Province. He was also a member and secretary of the Provincial Board of Education, of which, from 1823 to 1832, Dr. Strachan was Chairman. He had likewise to do with the affairs of Upper Canada College and of King's College. In the "Roll of Pupils" of the former he appears as the guardian, in 1837, of George Macnider, his nephew. For some years he was Inspector-General of the Province. Grass, Michael Henry-S. of Peter Grass, Esther Grass; Sp.-Daniel Everett, Jane Everett; [May] 6.

Brockville Register. **George Okill Stuart, Dr Stuart's eldest son and his successor in the cure of Kingston, was born at Fort Hunter, N.Y., June 29, 1776. He received from Harvard the B.A. in 1801, the M.A. in 1815, and S.T.D. (honoris causa) in 1848. King's College, Windsor, N.S., had bestowed the honorary D.C.L. in 1827. He taught school in Quebec, in Kingston from 1795 till 1798 or 1799, and in York from 1800 to 1812. In June, 1800, he was made deacon by the first Bishop of Quebec and priest in 1801. From 1800 to 1812 he was Rector of York (Toronto) and from 1812 to 1862 Rector of Kingston. From 1812 to 1821 he was Bishop's Official for Upper Canada, the title being changed to Archdeacon in the latter year. In 1827 the archdeaconry of Upper Canada (or York) was subdivided, Stuart taking the title of Archdeacon of Kingston, which he held down to the erection of the Diocese of Ontario, in 1862. Then the Bishop (Lewis) made him Dean of Ontario. On the 5th of October, 1862, he died. He had been twice married: (1) to Lucy, daughter of the Hon John Brooks, formerly Governor of Massachusetts; (2) to Ann Ellice Robinson (or Robison ), who died on the 28th November, 1856. By his first wife he had five children, only one of whom grew to maturity and survived him. This was George Okill Stuart, Jr, Sometime Mayor of Quebec, M.P.P., and Judge in Admiralty. The Archdeacon's original house, a frame one, still stands in King St. To it he returned, on account of his second wife's ill-health, from the large stone house, which is now the home of the Principal and of two of the professors of Queen's University. Tradition asserts that it was while building this house that he allowed to be erected on his property the small dwellings to the east of the University. The "Archdeacon's folly," in the east end of the city, which was not finished by him, belongs to a later date. He was the cause of the dispute over the burying ground already noted. Some of his activities as a public trustee have been referred to in the note on Mr Markland and others of the early subscribers to the building fund of St. George's.

It is supposed that neither he, his two sisters, nor his brother Charles, the elder of the two who bore that name, grew up. Their mother, who, according to the stone in the family plot in St. Paul's Churchyard, died in 1815, was born in Lower Canada. **Miles McDonell appears in Miss Jane Stuart's letters. Possibly he was the same man who was associated with Lord Selkirk's settlement in the Red River country. Time and again Alexander McDonell made petition to the Executive Council of the Province as Selkirk's agent in connection with lands in Essex, Kent, and the Onondaga Reserve on the Grand River.

Of Strachan Fuller had been a pupil after the latter's removal to York. He lost his parents at an early age and was brought up by his maternal aunt, Mrs Leeming, wife of the Rector of Chippawa. By her first marriage she had been the second wife of Major-General AEneas Shaw, Adjutant-General of Militia for Upper Canada. Fuller married Cynthia, daughter of the late Hon Samuel Street, of Clark Hill, Niagara Falls, and aunt of the present Provost of Trinity College, Toronto. He is said by Mr. Dent, in Canadian Portraits, and by Dr, Mockridge, in Bishops of Canada and Newfoundland, to have been descended from "worthy Master Fuller." In 1813 he was ordained deacon and in 1835 priest by the second Bishop of Quebec, the Right Revd and Hon Charles James Stewart. He served first of all in Montreal, under Dr. Atkinson, living through some trying experiences during the visitation of cholera, and labouring in the mission which has grown into St George's parish. He removed to Adolphustown and thence to Chatham, where he was a travelling missionary. From 1840 to 1861 he was in charge of Thorold and the Welland Canal; and from 1861 to 1875 he was Rector of St. George's Church. Toronto. In 1867 he was made an Archdeacon, devoting himself largely to the furtherance of the educational interests of the Church and to the increase of the stipends of the clergy. In the works already cited Mr. Dent and Dr. Mockridge credit him with the publication of three important brochures. **Whether Poole England here mentioned was Mrs. Fuller's father or her brother, it is not easy to determine. The former, apparently, after serving with the 24th Regiment, at Detroit, according to a return of August 7, 1795, (Q 74. I, P 68a) and, as President of the Land Board for Essex and Kent for two years previously, had settled in Kingston, although he bad been granted 2000 acres of land in Townships 5, 6, and 7 on the River Thames ( U. C. Land and State Book A, Entry of June 20, 1795). He had served during the whole of the American War and had since then resided in Upper Canada (D. W. Smith Papers, Vol. B, P 100). He it must have heen who, as Clerk of the Peace, received, on April 25, 1797, the balance of account due to him by the Sessions, amounting to £20, 3. [Declan Barron has further information on Poole England.] ***General Brock, who administered the government of the Province from October, 1811, to the date of his death, in the following year, was frequently in Kingston in the discharge of both his civil and his military duties. To the inhabitants of the City and of the Province he endeared himself, not only by his general behaviour but by his energetic measures for the suppression of disloyalty and the defence of the country, by the capture of Detroit and his death at Queenston Heights while repelling the invasion of the Americans. In the Kingston Gazette for Saturday, August 29, 1812 (to be found in the library of Queen's University) there is a most cordial letter of congratulation on "Your Expedition to the Westward" signed "Falkland," the penname, as before noted, of the Hon Richard Cartwright. In a later number of the same paper is to he found a description of the distinguished General's funeral at Fort George. He is said to have been engaged to Miss Sophia Shaw, second daughter of Major-General AEneas Shaw, A.G. She was born May 31, 1792, and died unmarried December, 1872.

He was a merchant in Kingston and in 1810 he petitioned unsuccessfully for a water lot at the north-east corner of the market square. His agent in the matter was James Cartwright, but the Sessions refused to countenance the petition "lest some inconvenience might result from the precedent." On the other hand the petitioner had alleged that "a Water Lot cannot be purchased in the said Town without paying a most exorbitant price-nor a Wharf or store be hired for any Consideration, the Proprietors of the Water Lots suffering them to remain unimproved."

Marriages. THERE are in the Register two series of entries of marriages performed by Dr. John Stuart. The one covers the years 1794 to 1799 and runs from 1 to 7. It stands immediately after the Baptisms for 1812, performed by John Langhorn, John Strachan, and George Okill Stuart. Between these marriages and the Funerals, which appear on pages 154 to 164 of this book, are entered an "8" and "9" in the hand-writing of John Strachan in June 1812. After the Funerals is a "Marriage in 1811," solemnized by George Okill Stuart. Then follow more marriages in more or less regular sequence from 1 to 126, for the years 1789 to 1811. The variations are evident, for the original numbering has been retained although the entries have been rearranged in proper chronological order. If any witness was unable to write, it did not seem necessary at this date to draw attention to the fact.1789-1792. "Marriages solemnized by the late Revd.

Sheppard-Cook: Octr 8th, 1797. Married in Church Samuel Sheppard and Mariana Cook by License from the *Administrator of the Province, by me, John Stuart. *The Administrator here referred to was the Hon Peter Russell, Receiver-General of the Province and a member of the Executive Council from 1792 to 1825. He was sworn into office on the same day as Simcoe, by whom he was designated at midsummer, 1796, to administer the Government during his absence in England. This absence continuing till 1799, Russell profited by it down to the spring of that year, when Lieutenant-General Peter Hunter became Lieutenant-Governor. On the death of the latter, who had pretty accurately summed up the character of the Administrator, Russell was greatly disappointed at not being again called to administer the Government. This time the honour and the emolument fell to Commodore the Hon. Alexander Grant, whose name stood first on the list of Councillors in the Royal commission. So anxious had Russell been to give away the lands of the crown that Hunter said, in writing about him, that he would have been willing to make grants even to the devil himself. Russell St and Russell Hill Road, Toronto, which were laid out by different members of the Baldwin family, who inherited his property, commemorate his name. Russell Creek, which used to flow through the old Parliament House grounds in Front St, and Russell Square, the original name of the grounds of old Upper Canada College, between King, John, Adelaide, and Simcoe Streets, were also called after him. 1798-7 marriages. 10.

Vallere-Cook; John Vallere & Emma Cook (By Banns), Novr. 27th. 1803-13 reported, October 19. 12. Murney-Smyth;* Henry Murney & Catharine Smyth (Licence) Jany. 5th. *Catharine Smyth was a sister of Patrick Smyth, Jr., Dr. Stuart's son-in-law. Their father, Patrick Smyth, J.P., served as a Captain of Militia under General Burgoyne. He was made a prisoner but escaped to New York, where he stayed till it was evacuated in 1783. He enjoyed the Military allowance of a Captain till his death and he received in 1787 an order for a Captain's grant of 700 acres for himself (the quantity allowed under the old regulations) and 400 acres for big family. These lands, about which there was a dispute, owing to malfeasance in office on the part of at least one Government Surveyor, were situated on the Grand (or Ottawa) River and were selected by Mr. Smyth's hrother-in-law, Mr. McNiff, an Assistant Surveyor. Mr. Smyth having died at William Henry (Sorel), his name was in 1810 placed on the U.E.L. List and his claim for land was allowed to his widow and children, then living in Upper Canada. Besides Catharine, there were three other Sisters who received 200 acres each as daughters of a Loyalist. They were Mary, wife of Peter Grant; Eliza Montague, a spinster; and another whose name is not mentioned in Upper Canada Land Book H, with the other members of the family. However, she may have been Mrs. Kirby. 13. Bull-Worden; Bryan Bull & Sarah Worden (Banns) Jany. 5th. 14. Vasau-Jelle; Joseph Vasan & Josette Jelle (Banns) Jany 6th. 15. Stuart*-Jones; John Stuart, Junr. & Sophia Jones (by Licence) Jan 21st. *John Stuart. Jr, was the second son of Dr. and Mrs. Stuart. He was born at Fort Hunter, N.Y., August 23, 1777, and died at Brockville, "aged 52, May 23, 1829," as recorded on his tombstone in the Blue Church Yard, in the township of Augusta. His wife was the eldest surviving daughter of the Hon. Ephraim Jones and a sister of the Hon. Charles Jones. Of the union were horn nine children-Charlotte, John, Mary, Andrew, Sophia, Henry Boulton, James, William Jones, and Eliza. Mary married Sir Allan Macnab and Sophia his brother, David. From Sir Allan and Lady Macnab is descended the present Earl of Albemarle. John settled ultimately in London and Toronto and married Miss Powell. Andrew settled in Hamilton and married Mary Jean Hamilton. It is interesting to note the fact of the Roman Catholic strain brought into the Stuart family through their ancestress, Sophia Jones, whose mother Miss Coursolles, of Montreal, was a French-Canadian Roman Catholic. This strain is noticeable particularly in the descendeuts of the women members of the family. The marriage of three of Mrs. Stuart's sisters, also the Misses Jones, with members of the Sherwood, Boulton, and Leavitt families shews to some extent how the so called "Family Compact" came into existence. An interesting incident in which Messrs. Stuart, Boulton, and Sherwood were concerned (the sale of a parcel of land in the immediate neighbourhood of what is now Ottawa) is mentioned by Mr. Hamnett p. Hill on page 55 of his interesting brochure "Robert Randall and The Le Breton Flats." 16. Vallier-Humphreys; Joseph Vallier & Mary Humphreys (Licence) Jany. 25th. Do. 17.

As such he received 1000 acres in right of his father's claim. In 1804 he was refused a water lot in front of Mr. Herchmer's, but in 1810 he was granted a town lot in Kingston, (U. C. Land Books F. and H). In June, 1817, a letter from him to Sir Rohert Hall was read in Council, "offering to build a bridge from the Scow Place in this Town to Point Frederick, (according to the Model left at your office) with an allowance from Government for passage of Stores. Tolls to be regulated hy proper authority; the bridge to be ready by April if he had an answer by June." He was to be allowed to take timber from Grande Isle and to quarry stone on Point Frederick or Point Henry. U. C. Land Book J., P 208. As late as September 3, 1829, a claim to land to which he had become entitled as Lieutenant in is Flank Company in the War of 1812 was allotted to his only son and devisee, John Stuart Smyth. He was in business in Kingston and he is said to have heen a founder and the first president of the Commercial Bank of Upper Canada. 39. Fuller-England; Capn.

Ephraim Jones, and, like him, he was one of the first merchants of Brockville. That town was laid out in part by him, a Site in it being devoted to St. Peter's Church and another to a school. He and all of his brothers are said by the late Mr. Leavitt (Histoy of Leeds and Grenville, P.98.) to have been educated at Mr. Strachan's school at Cornwall. For a time he was in business in Brockville with his brother-in-law, John Stuart, prior to the latter's appointment as Sheriff of the Johnstown District. He built and operated mills in the Township of Yonge. He was contractor for building the Court House and a member of the Committee for collecting funds to pay for it in 1808; he was also treasurer of the district From 1821 to 1828 he sat in the 8th and 9th Parliaments as a member of the House of Assembly for Leeds. From 1829 to 1840 he sat in the Legislative Council. In 1832 he was interested in the formation of the Emigrant Society and a member of the Brockville Board of Police, of which he became president in 1837. In 1820 he had married as his second wife Florella Smith (b. November 8, 1793, d. January 1, 1877), who bore him three sons and two daughters. The former were Frederick, Charles Edward, and Anson; the latter, Georgiana Florella, and Henrietta. The following tribute to his first wife was inscribed in a Prayer Book which is still in the possession of his granddaughter, Mrs.Evans:-"Mary C. Jones my dear and ever to he lamented Wife departed this life at Kingston, in her Mother's House, on the 25th October, 1812, at half past four o'clock in the morning. Mary Posses't a soft, tender, most complying sweetness-in her her little children have lost a tender & affectionate mother, & I have lost an obedient and affectionate companion.

Allan*-Gamble; William Allan & Leah Gamble, July 24th. *He was, for many years prior to his death, known as Col. Allan, of Moss Park, Toronto. From the year 1788 he had been with Mr. George Forsyth in the capacity of clerk, first at Niagara and subsequently at York. During the administration of the Hon. Peter Russell he was, on petition, granted 400 acres of land, in addition to the 200 previously allotted to him, "to put Petitioner on a footing with other Gentlemen of his description." (U. C. Land Book B., P. 245). His name occurs frequently in connection with the lighthouse on Toronto Island. He was a merchant, the first Postmaster at York, and Collector of Customs. He signed the capitulation of York, when it was taken by the Americans in the end of April, 1813. In 1817, he was, with others awarded a water lot "in Front of Frederick St., York, being desirous of building a wharf for Public Accommodation." (U.C. Land Book J., P 69). He was one of the founders of the Bank of Upper Canada, the first office of which was in a building owned by him at the southeast corner of Frederick and King Streets, York. He became a member of the Executive and the Legislative Council, and he supported Bishop Strachan in the foundation of Trinity College, 1850-1852. A daughter died in April, 1850. He himself died in 1853, leaving one son, George william, Commissioner of the Canada Company, Speaker of the Senate of the Dominion, Chancellor of Trinity College, a founder and benefactor of the Royal Canadian Institute, and the donor to the City of Toronto of the Horticultural (or Allan) Gardens. Mr. G. W. Allan. M.P. for South winnipeg, his eldest son, keeps up the traditions of public service. Mrs. William Allan appears in Mr. Chadwick's "Ontarian Families" to have had a second name, Tyrer. Miss Jane Stuart, writing from York, gave an account of Miss Lesh and herself walking together after Church one Sunday morning, and of "young" Allan asking leave to join them.

John Stuart, (Official, &c.) At this point occurs the heading :-"Register of Funerals or Burials in St. George's Burial Ground," followed by three unnumbered entries for 1811. The latter will be found under that year between funerals 325 and 326.Funerals at Kingston. *1791. *From the Church accounts and from Dr. Stuart's letters to the Society it is clear that there were many funerals which were not recorded in the Register. On October 1, 1781, he reported "buried 6 Corpses"; on September 26, 1786, "buried four, only one of which died a natural death"; on August 14, 1787, "Buried three"; October 7, 1789, "Burials four"; January 5, 1790, "Burials two"; February 3. 1791, "buried five Corpses"; February 23, 1792, ten; October 12, 1792, thirteen; March 19, 1793, thirteen; October 10, 1793, "twenty-one whites and four indians"; no date, fourteen. In the Church accounts for March 20, 1789, occurs the entry "By cash Pd a Man for burying John Wright last summer 4s." On February 15, 1791, is found "By paid for burying Thomson last fall 2s." Under date of August 13, 1792, the Vestry Minutes contain the following entry, "Agreed also that the expenses of a Coffin, Sheet. & Digging the Grave for John Paine deceased be paid out of the Collections received in Church." The five yards of linen for the sheet cost 12/6; the making 1s; digging the grave 5s; making the Coffin 8s. 1. Feby. 21, 1791: A Sailor. 2. April 29th, Do.: A Sailor. 3. May 31, Do.: James Harley. 4.
