Dear Friends

Have a look at https://uptorawdon.com/ – it has just been updated.

Two major stories were added, and I have revised and renamed the one about the oldest building, and now calling it Burton’s church. There are three stories about the early days of Christ Church, with selections from the Vestry minutes between 1834 and 1841. There is a petition signed by 137 land holders in 1834.

I had thought in 2013 that I had thoroughly traced the American influence on Rawdon but here are two more that I recently learned were natives of the U.S.A. – J. L. Milton, the second Anglican minister and J. W. Brace, who was a miller, as were the well-known Americans Dugas and Dorwin.

There are a number of miscellaneous entries with new or corrected data.

Please read and enjoy and let me know what you think. There are no additions to the photo gallery but if you have identified photos from the old settler families that you wish to share, let me know.

With regards,

Daniel
