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.
