It may not be significant, but around this time a large number of Bible Christians emigrated from the South West of England to that area of Canada. It may be that your ancestors were Bible Christians. In Canada, the United Church Archives at Victoria University, Toronto holds some records concerning the Bible Christians. <http://vicu.utoronto.ca/archives/archives.htm>. You may find more details of this sect and places where information may be found at: <http://www.cs.ncl.ac.uk/genuki/DEV/Shebbear/BibleChristians/index.html> I hope that this may assist you. John Ritchings "Bible Christians": http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/DEV/Shebbear/BibleChristians/index.html HISTORY OF BOWMANVILLE Part 13 By Mr. J. B. Fairbairn, P. M. "Mr. Cole bought the farms near Bethesda, which are still in their possession. They lay in the most charming locality. The view from the homestead is one to conjure with. You can see east, west and south, for miles, including the town of Bowmanville, (a city set on a hill) when lit at night by electricity, it is a sight worth seeing. It must be a perpetual source of pleasure to the dwellers, their having such a grand and ennobling sight of dome Nature's handiwork perpetually under their eyes. He had five sons, Roger, Immanuel, Mathew, John and Thomas. All have passed the bourne from which none returns. One daughter Mrs. Mary Tamblyn is still living at Zion, Hope, she is an aunt of W. W. Tamblyn, M. A Bowmanville. Mrs. Roger Cole and two daughters are living in town. John is on the place where is grandfather first settled and James is east of it. Mrs. Vanstone is a daughter of Matthew. How one thing leads on to others. The stream of influence flows through many channels. Another sister, married a man who I knew when I was a lad, Mr. Henry Hoar Sr. I never forgot my first impression of his nature. Alas, his sojourn on earth was limited, but the effects of his teaching and example are still operating as a power for good in those who followed. Mr. Henry Hoar, Jr., is still in his prime giving his untiring energy for the public wealth. He has devoted a good deal of time to Sabbath school work and in endeavoring to keep up and in crease through the Agricultural organizations the interest of the farmers, trying by this and other means, to educate them in more scientific and useful plans to increase the output of the crops grown from the soil, as well as to teach them how better to improve and add to the value of their stock and collateral products. He is President of the Agricultural Society and Head of the Farmer's Institute. The death of Thomas R. Hoar is still fresh in our memories. When taking him to Toronto, in the hope that something might be done to aid in his recovery, I saw him at the station and without exception, it was the most pathetic sight I ever witnessed. Hard indeed would have been the heart of any human being who could have looked on that sight without it being stirred to it's deepest depths. The body was encased in plaster paris, to all intents dead, while the mental and spiritual gleamed in full intelligence from the eye, I remember Mr. J. C. Vanstone saying to me and he was the last man to speak unadvisedly, that T.R. was one of the finest men he ever knew. How mysterious indeed are the ways of Providence but one thing is sure, that all things must work together for good to such as he was. He left his family a most valuable and lasting heritage in the record of his short fruitful life. His untimely death was caused by an accident: He fell from an apple tree and severed the spine."
