REV. ROBERT McDOWALL'S REGISTER

NOTE. Rev. Robert McDowall was the first regularly sent
Presbyterian Missionary to Upper Canada. He was a native of
Saratoga County, New York, educated at Williams' College,
Schenectady, N.Y., and sent by the Synod of the Reformed Dutch
Church of Albany as a Missionary to the U. E. L. refugees of the
Bay of Quinte District, numbers of whom came from near Albany
and points on the Hudson River, and were members of that
denomination before leaving. He reached Kingston early in the
spring of 1798, and soon went to Bath and Fredericksburgh, and
settled in the latter township, where be remained until his
death in 1841. During the first two years he worked as a
missionary at large, and then organized congregations at Bath
and in Fredericksburgh and Ernest Town, three miles north of
Bath. He became the regular minister of these, and had churches
built. He continued his regular mission visitations to Kingston
and Prince Edward County, sometimes going as far west as where
London now stands. He married probably more persons than any
other minister in Upper Canada. His register was given to
Queen's College, Kingston, since his death, by R. J. McDowall,
his grandson, now residing in Kingston, and is kept in the vault
of Queen's. The following are extracts from that register. Some
pages are so dim from years that it is difficult to decipher
them. In July, 1898, a centennial was held at the McDowall
Memorial Church, Sandhurst, Fredericksburgh, where he died, and
where his remains and those of most members of his family lie
buried. It was attended by thousands. T.W.C.
