All have to do with the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry in Ontario, Canada: BOOK - St. John's Presbyterian Church, Cornwall, Ontario - Marriages Only (1857-1896) Compiled by Duncan MacDonald This book is the result of a chance meeting between the compiler, Duncan MacDonald, and Jack Schecter, the Librarian/Historian/Archivist at Upper Canada Village. Mr. Schecter explained to Mr. MacDonald that he had completed a transcription of the Marriage Register for the years 1857-1896. He also revealed that the original register differs from the microfilmed materials that are more generally available insofar as Mr. Schecter's transcriptions include more information from each entry. That chance meeting resulted in this invaluable resource.

The first church building was a log structure on the east side of Pitt Street. The building was referred to as the "Presbyterian Meeting House". A white frame church was built in 1827 and at the same the time the first Kirk Session was formed. The church was known as the Scotch Church. The name St. John's was adopted in 1831. In 1888 the cornerstone of the present St. John's building was laid. The much larger stone building was officially opened on March 17, 1889.

It occurred to him that an indexed volume of transcriptions of those clippings would be of interest to others seeking their Cornwall roots. Oftentimes Mr. MacDonald found newspapers announcements of vital events such as birth, marriage, death that had escaped being recorded in a church register.
