McKenzie, Global Heritage Press, 2008 The following is from the Canadian Christian Advocate issue of June 19, 1845: Coleman, Andrew, of Beaverly, to Isabella Templeton, of East Dumfries, by Rev. Andrew Burzee, Dec. 9th. We are not given a place of marriage. Burzee was probably a Methodist minister, but of which branch of the Methodists it is not clear. There was an Episcopal Methodist Church at Troy by 1844, but there was a Wesleyan Methodist Church at St. George in what became South Dumfries. Isabella's parents resided in what became South Dumfries. East Dumfries is a designation occasionally met with and simply refers to the portion of the township located on the east side of the Grand River. The 1832 census and assessment fror 'East Dumfries' places Daniel Templeton on lot 2 of the first concession. |
