Up to Rawdon (PDF)

Up to Rawdon (PDF)

ByDaniel B. Parkinson

In print this book is in two parts, the result of the author’s lengthy research into the history of Rawdon Township, Lower Canada; the majority of immigrants arriving before 1852. 102 chapters in the two parts profile 120 families, whose origins are determined when possible, and their later destinations in central and western Ontario and a dozen US states. Other topics examined in Part Two include the influence of American settlers; the first church and school; the military origin of some settlers and militia service; the relationship of Catholic and Protestant immigrants. Although most investigated are Protestant, the book includes chapters on the Irish-Catholic community. Since it was published in February 2013, many pages of new and revised material have been added at www.uptorawdon.com on "Author's & Readers' Updates" and other pages; they are free and are useful companions to the book. Currently the website is updated every 6 weeks. ** This PDF contains both Part One and Two of UP TO RAWDON. **
