    a small colony, chiefly from Genesee County, New York State, had located in the bush between Galt and the present village of Branchton, as early as 1817. Among these were Messrs. Donald Fraser , Thomas McBean , William Mackenzie ,* John Buchanan, Robert Carrick, Alexander Harvie, Daniel McArthur and Dugald McColl, whose descendants, in several instances, still continue to hold and cultivate the lands then taken up.

    Dumfries. In this cemetery is a granite stone marking the burial of Alexander Harvie, who was born in Scotland in 1754 and died in Dumfries in 1825. Passing by this cemetery along a winding road, one comes to one of the most picturesque farms in the township. This was the birthplace of First Church. The old house in which the first service was held disappeared long ago, but the movement begun there is still going on. In that community were about 12 families who had come over from New York state, attracted by the prospects of a home in a British colony. Among them was Alex. Harvie, regarded as the leading man in the new community. This was in the year 1817. In May, 1822, the Associate church at Pittsburg, Pa., appointed three ministers to itinerate in Upper Canada for a period of three months. These ministers, Rev.'s Thomas Beveridge, Alex Bullions and Dr. Hanna, rode on horseback from Philadelphia to Niagara, where they parted, each taking a separate mission. Mr. Beveridge found his way to the home of Alex Harvie, who welcomed him with great joy.

    FIRST UNITED CHURCH, GALT

    Andrew W. Taylor, B.Sc.A.

    The records of First United Church give many intimate glimpses into the life of Galt from its first beginnings right down to the present day. In 1816 Dumfries was unbroken forest. One of the first projects undertaken was to have the land surveyed. An assistant to the surveyors was a lad by the name of William Mackenzie. This young man was impressed by the prospects. During that winter he told of the opportunities he had seen to the people at his home in Genesee County, New York State. The following year he and others returned to become the first settlers in the new tract. During the next ten years there was quite a migration of these people. They belonged to the Associate Reformed Church. They settled between Galt and Branchton. One of their number, Mr. Alexander Harvie, had been an elder in the congregation of Caledonia, N.Y. In 1819 the Rev. Alex. DeNoon, the minister of that church, paid him a visit in his Dumfries home. Word went out to all the people around about. A service was held. Rev. Mr. DeNoon is believed to be the first clergyman ever to have preached in Dumfries...
