      ".....Joseph Hugill was an Anglo-Canadian, but upon more minute inquiry, we find that he was born in Yorkshire, old England, although brought up in this Province, to which he came with his parents at the age of eight years. He was converted to God in March, 1844, at a protracted meeting held at Switzer's Church, on what is now called the Streetsville Circuit. He was a light-complexioned young man, of good manners, who had received a liberal education; and his official obituary pronounces him 'a diligent student, a good preacher, a faithful, judicious pastor, a wise counsellor, and a warm and sincere friend.' Thus constituted and thus qualified, he was destined to begin with an important circuit (the Dundas), and to give great satisfaction in his ministry of the very considerable length of nineteen years. He was about the age of twenty-two at this his setting out in the work." from "Case and His Contemporaries; or The Canadian Itinerants' Memorial" by John Carroll, D.D. Vol. V
