    Notes:

    The first Catholic immigrants from Europe came in about 1826 or 1827. Being poor, they first remained for some years among the older and wealthier Mennonites and worked for them until they became acquainted with the conditions of this new country and earned a little money to begin farming for themselves.

    Then they bought land located east of the river, on what were called the back lots of the German Tract. As the German Catholic population increased and occupied all the land in Waterloo Township they overflowed north into "Woolwich and Pilkington Townships. The greater part of Woolwich also belonged to the German Land Company, while Pilkington had been granted to General Pilkington for services in India. In Guelph Township the settlers obtained the land direct from the Crown.

    The first arrivals from Europe came from Baden. Among them were Matthias Fehrenbach, John Schumacher, Felix Scharbach, Christian Rich, Joseph Thoman.....The writer could not find any New Germany settlers' names in his register preserved in Dundas. The settlers here could scarcely look to Guelph for much religious help. Neither Father Campion nor his successors Fathers Cullen and Cassidy, could converse with them in German. Yet it is said that one of them came from Guelph in 1832 and celebrated Mass in Christian Rich's house. This must have been Father Cassidy, who was then residing in Guelph.
