11608	David and Mary Ann are listed under Hillier Township on the 3rd Concession Lot 28F per the 1866 County Directory. They are listed as Methodists and both are buried in the Wellington Village Cemetery. David died on April 30, 1909 at Mount Pleasant, the result of a runaway buggy accident. Phillip H. died at the age of 16 and is buried in the Wellington Village Cemetery. I have no further record of Minnie other than the 1891 Census lists her as 16 and living with her parents in Sophiasburgh at the time. All I have learned is that she died in 1898, which would make her 23 at the time of her death. The Land Records show that David held ownership of Lot 60 on Concession 1 in Sophiasburg Twp (NW 1/2 and SW 1/2 - 100 acres) in the 1870's. It is understood that he sold part or all of same on March 12, 1884. The 1881 Census lists the family as living in Sophiasburg Township.	GOODMURPHY, DAVID (I49)

Terry, a Son Clarkson, Canada, December 6, 195O . The following is a history of the life of my father as told to me by others: David Terry was born in the town of Palmyra, state of New York on April 17, 1817. He started life as a child the hard way, having to chop wood when it kept him busy all day to keep the stove going. His education consisted of 2 weeks at schoo . As a lad he was taught to work & be­ came an expert with the axe, so much so that he used to put up his 4 cords of steam boat wood a day on the banks of the Mississippi River, I have heard that when a young man he had been in every state in the Union. He came with his parents and family to Canada; settling in the township of Albion, at a village called Caladon East, where they estab­lished a gristmill and where (I presume) David learned the milling business. As well as a mill, the family had a store and hotel. His sister Elizabeth married a man who kept a tavern. He died & David tended bar for his sister for a year thereafter. He grew up to be quite a swell & used to wear a stovepipe hat & straps under his instep to keep his trousers down straight. - - -	TERRY, David (I2953)

11619	David J. Thompson 78 Shavian Blvd., London, ON, N6G 2P3 Tel: 1-519-858-0239; Fax: 1-519-858-8223 May 18, 2002 Mr. R. Millie 8700 North Shore Drive Jonesboro, GA, 30236. Ms. Melanie Maasdam 2205 195th Street Clarion, Iowa 50525 Dear Bob & Melanie: I wrote recently about some Millie's I found in Scotland I thought might be precursors of Melanie's H.H. Millie. Melanie asked me to explain, and I thought it would be a good exercise to see if it hangs together. I think Bob's line may well be connected as well, so here goes: We have these facts: " Henry (aka "Harry") H. Millie (H.H. Millie) was born in Ireland Feb 8, 1863. His brothers were Charles Thomas Millie and Samuel Boucher Millie. We know this from the information I got last year from the National Archives. The three emigrated to Canada in the early 1880's. " H.H. Millie's brother Samuel Boucher Millie joined the North-West Mounted Police force on September 1, 1899 and was discharged on March 25, 1904. The archive records refer to his next of kin, Miss Lily Hariot Millie of Ballymooney, Gashill, Kings. Co., Ireland. Another record identifies his next of kin as his sister, Margaret McDowell of Upper Edmonton, now a London suburb. Samuel joined the 179th Battalion in the Canadian Expeditionary Force in World War I. This relationship is confirmed in the Archives records, and per note received from Melanie apparently written by H.H.'s daughter Emma. Although reported to have died in Winnipeg during WWI, the archives records suggest he claimed a pension in British Columbia under the name William Thompson. " H.H. Millie's Charles Millie was found in Battleford, Saskatchewan. It appears that he was a member of the Battleford Home Guard Volunteers in the rebellion of 1885. He was given a land grant for services but took $$ instead. By 1901, when Henry had settled in Carman Manitoba, Charles was working for a rancher in Alberta near Wetaskiwin. In the letter from H. H. Millie in Carman, Manitoba to the Commissioner of the North-West Mounted Police it says that his brother Charles had died just previous to September 11, 1902. He died shortly after in Wetaskiwin. This relationship is confirmed in the Archives records, and per note received from Melanie apparently written by H.H.'s daughter Emma. H. H. Millie also had 4 sisters per information from Melanie, as well as from the archives records of Samuel. " Margaret Ellen Millie married a McDowell and was living in London, according to Samuel's next of kin record, at the time of WWI, at 16 Angel Road, Upper Edmonton, Enfield, England. A note from Melanie says she died December 5, 1921, aged 68, interred in Tottenham Cemetery. I found these records (LDS British Vital Records, 2nd Edition) which give the husband as Frederick, and two children, an unnamed boy and an unnamed girl, born in Dublin: MCDOWELL, Birth Gender: Male Birth Date: 4 Sep 1875 Birthplace: No 3 South City, Dub, Ire Recorded in: Dublin, Ireland Collection: Civil Registration Father: George Frederick MCDOWELL Mother: Margaret Ellen MILLIE Source: FHL Film 255935 Dates: 1875 - 1875 *********************** MCDOWELL, Birth Gender: Female Birth Date: 4 Dec 1873 Birthplace: No 3 South City, Dub, Ire Recorded in: Dublin, Ireland Collection: Civil Registration Father: George Frederick MCDOWELL Mother: Margaret Ellen MILLER Source: FHL Film 255889 Dates: 1873 - 1875 I couldn't find them in England yet in the 1881 census. " Lillian Hariot Millie - per note received from Melanie apparently written by H.H.'s daughter Emma, never married " Henrietta Millie - per note received from Melanie apparently written by H.H.'s daughter Emma, never married; and " Mary Millie, married Charles Castle. The parents of H.H. Millie and the others were identified by Melanie as Henry Millie and Mary Dempster. The death certificate for H.H. lists his father as Henry Millie, and his mother as Mary. Note that the death certificate says that the father, Henry Millie was born in Scotland. I found the following marriage record (in the LDS British Vital records CD's, 2nd edition) for Henry and Mary Dempster, which says Henry's father was Thomas and Mary's was Charles Dempster: MILLIE, Henry Age: 30 Wife: Mary Jane DEMPSTER Age: 21 Marriage Date: 31 May 1851 Recorded in: St Thomas, Dublin, Ireland Collection: Civil Registration Husband's Father: Thomas MILLIE Wife's Father: Charles DEMPSTER Source: FHL Film 101326 Dates: 1851 - 1851 (I will call H.H.'s father Henry 1821, his approximate birth date, to minimize further confusion) According to notes from Melanie, extracts from the Kings County Chronicle report that Henry Millie Died January 7, 1891, in his 71st year at Ballymooney, Geashill, (which was where H.H. was born per his death certificate, and per his obituary in 1917 in Kelowna, B.C.). Henry's wife Mary Jane died May 20, 1899, aged 68. According to the letter dated January 1, 1920 from Aunt Margaret Ellen McDowell (H.H.'s sister) to her niece Emma Millie McGarrity (Melanie's grandmother), the Millie's settled in Scotland. Emma Millie McGarrity's grandfather's grandfather (ie: Henry Millie's grandfather) had 4 sons, John, Tom, Andrew and Robert. The letter says that all 4 went to Ireland. Tom Millie was Henry Millie's father according to this letter. This marriage record above is consistent with this information. I was previously unable to find a Millie family in Scotland, or anywhere else which included 4 sons named John, Tom, Andrew and Robert, let alone one which would fit the requisite time frame. With the new LDS British Vital Records collections however I found the following family in Fife with the right collection of sons. Better still, the unusual name of the mother make it virtually certain, for me anyway, that the son Thomas, born 1796, is went to Ireland, as presumably did the other sons as described in Ms. McDowell's letter. The following lists the 6 sons of Henry Millie (yes, yet another one) and Magdalene Rumgay (note the name): 1. MILLIE, John Bir 1791 Scot Fife Ceres Fa: Henry Millie, Mo: Magdalene Rumgay 2. MILLIE, Andrew Chr 1793 Scot Fife Ceres Fa: Henry Millie, Mo: Magdaline Rumgay 3. MILLIE, David Chr 1794 Scot Fife Ceres Fa: Henry Millie, Mo: Magdaline Rumgay 4. MILLIE, Henry Chr 1794 Scot Fife Ceres Fa: Henry Millie, Mo: Magdaline Rumgay 5. MILLIE, Thomas Chr 1796 Scot Fife Ceres Fa: Henry Millie, Mo: Magdaline Rumgay 6. MILLIE, Robert Chr 1798 Scot Fife Ceres Fa: Henry Millie, Mo: Magdalene Rumgay I found the marriage of this Henry and Magdalene on the LDS FamilySearch website: Marriage: Magdalene RUMGAY; Sex: F; Spouse: Henry MILLIE; Marriage: Abt. 1790; Banderran, Ceres, Fife, Scotland; Film # 457767 I also found the following birth record of Magdalene-I presume it is her, how many can there be?: Magdalan RUMGAY; Sex: F; Christening: 1 September 1765, Cameron, Fife; Parents: Andrew RUMGAY, Mary Mackie. Reference: Batch # C114122, 1695-1819, Call # 1040151, Printout # 6900431. The real proof that Thomas of this family went to Ireland lies in the marriage record below: LATIMER, William Wife: Magdalene Rumgay MILLIE Marriage Date: 23 Oct 1847 Recorded in: St Peter, Dublin, Ireland Collection: Civil Registration Husband's Father: James LATIMER Wife's Father: Thomas MILLIE Source: FHL Film 101286 Dates: 1847 - 1847 Magdalene Rumgay Millie of Dublin Ireland, daughter of Thomas Millie, MUST be the granddaughter of Henry Millie and Magdalene Rumgay of Fife. There surely can't be another Thomas Millie, of the same generation, who would name his daughter Magdalene Rumgay. Since we know that Thomas, father of Henry 1821, and grandfather of H.H Millie was born in Scotland, and moved to Ireland, and had brothers named Andrew, John and Robert, and there are so few Millie's generally, let alone in Ireland, he must be the same person as the father of Magdalene Rumgay Millie of Dublin, and she is an aunt of H.H. Millie and his siblings. Also note that like Henry 1821, she was married in Dublin, and only 4 years before Henry 1821. Next, who did Thomas marry? Who was Henry 1821's mother? Well, the LDS website has a marriage record for a Thomas Millie and Mary McWattie, 9 December 1818, Dundee, Angus, Scotland (batch # M112824, Source Call # 0993401, Printout call # 6902959). Is this the correct Thomas? Here we go back to the letter Margaret McDowell wrote in 1920 to her niece, Emma Millie. The transcribed copy Melanie sent says: There was a slip of paper enclosed in this letter from Aunt Maggie McDowell and this is the info as follows: "PRIVATE and don't tell acquaintances, does no good. My father's Grandfather committed suicide from loss of an awful large sum in speculation and I believe he was a Millie, French, but I may be mistaken, he may have been McQuatty." So yes, Thomas married Mary McWattie in Dundee. Margaret McDowell's father was Henry 1821, and his grandfathers would have been Henry Millie (married to Magdalene Rumgay) and Mary McWattie's father. This reference proves that this is the correct spouse for Thomas. Again searching the LDS site, we find a record for the christening of Henry Millie, 10 October 1819, Dundee, Angus, Scotland; father-Thomas Millie, mother-Mary McWattie (batch # C112827, Source Call # 0993425, Printout call # 6900646) So Melanie, I think we have you back to Scotland: 1. Henry Millie married Magdalene Rumgay in Fife Scotland in 1790. 2. Thomas, born 1796 in Ceres, Fife, Scotland, married Mary McWattie, 9 December 1818, Dundee, Angus, Scotland. 3. Henry Millie born 10 October 1819, Dundee, Angus, Scotland, married Mary Dempster 1851 in Dublin 4. Henry Herbert Millie (H.H. Millie) born February 1863 in Ireland, emigrated to Canada early 1880's, married Caroline Sarah Mills, abt. Feb. 1900 in Manitoba 5. Emma Lily Millie born abt March 6, 1901, married Joseph Patrick McGarrity, 1919 6. Lawrence Patrick Dempster McGarrity, born 1924, married Jean Anderson 7. Melanie McGarrity I think this is pretty accurate based upon these published records. If you are energetic, you should order the microfilms from the LDS and copy the records yourself, ideally taking a print or the original registers. Not only will this document the facts, but the original registers may have additional information not picked up on the LDS indexes. The next question is what happened to the other brothers of Thomas who went to Ireland, who were their children and grandchildren, and did Thomas have any other children besides Henry 1821 and Magdalene. Bob's Henry Thomas Beale Millie (H.T.B.) was born September 14, 1862, in Kilkenny, Ireland, and emigrated to Canada around the time of H.H. and his brothers. H.T.B.'s parents were Robert Millie and Elizabeth Beale. (Although born in Ireland, I have always held out to Bob that he is Scottish in origin: Millie's all come from Scotland, and the south of England (perhaps French before that, but that is all beyond me), and H.T.B. was Presbyterian, basically a Scottish Protestant religion.) Was this Robert another son of Thomas, and a brother of Henry 1821 and Magdalene? Or was he a son of one of Thomas' brothers, Andrew, John or Robert, and a first cousin of Henry 1821 and Magdalene? I think given the scarcity of Millie's generally, and in Ireland in particular, these Irish Millie's of Scottish descent must be connected, and H.T.B. and H.H. were cousins, sharing common grandparents in either Thomas Millie and his wife ??, or in Henry Millie and Magdalene Rumgay. The common names, Henry, Henrietta, Robert and Thomas are all there (H.T.B also had a sister Henrietta). All were Presbyterian, indicating Scotch origin, and all came from the counties around Dublin. If I were a betting man, that's where I would put my money. Best regards David	MILLIE, Thomas (I5311)
11620	David L. lived on the property he received from his father, Israel. Lot 6 Con 2 East Gwillimbury Twp. DAVID L.

11626	David Thompson e-mail on 5-15-2002: Hi Melanie & Hi Bob: I got the new LDS UK Vital Records CD today and I am having some fun. My notes tell me that from Melanie's past we figured her HH Millie's parents were Henry MILLIE and Mary DEMPSEY. I found the following record which confirms Henry's father was Thomas and Mary's was Charles Dempsey: MILLIE, Henry Age: 30 Wife: Mary Jane DEMPSTER Age: 21 Marriage Date: 31 May 1851 Recorded in: St. Thomas, Dublin, Ireland Collection: Civil Registration Husband's Father: Thomas MILLIE Wife's Father: Charles DEMPSTER Source: FHL Film 101326 Dates: 1851 - 1851 We also had figured that Thomas's MILLIE had brothers Robert, John and Andrew.

One day David broke the silent contemplation with let every ear with joy abound like David's harp of solemn sound. At the next meeting he was expelled from the Quaker Society. Five families left with David Willson to start The Hope Church of the Children of Peace. Later they changed the name to Sharon Temple, because in the Bible the plains of Sharon were known for their fertility. By 1840 there were 200 members. The Sharon Temple was build in 1825 - 30 on Lot 2, Con 2, Bayview Avenue. David Willson designed the Temple's square plan which symbolizes unity & justice to all people. The Children of Peace would deal on the square with everyone Sharon Temple was not a church but a meeting place designed by Willson along traditional lines of three stories for the trinity; 12 lantern towers for the disciples; the ball for the ward & the Ark in the centre of the Temple. Sharon Temple was used one Saturday a month for services & regular Sunday services held in the meeting hall, now demolished. Willson, David, Born 7 Jun 1778, Yonge Street Meeting House. Son born of John & Catherine Willson. Ref: Canadian Quaker Genealogical Index, File H-15-1 p.2. . Biography of DAVID WILLSON (Wilson), visionary, religious leader, author, & hymn writer; b. 7 June 1778 in Dutchess County, N.Y., son of poor but pious Presbyterian parents, John & Catherine Willson; m. Phebe (Phoebe) Titus & they had three sons & 2 daughters; d. 16 Jan. 1866 in Sharon, East Gwillimbury Township, Canada West. From Ireland John Willson came to America in 1770 & found that in the patroon country where he settled, near Poughkeepsie on the Hudson River, land could only be rented. His son’s earliest occupation was hard labor in cultivating the soil, till left an orphan at the age of 14, inclined to mechanical business in joining timber one part unto another. He also became a sailor on The Farmer, a ship owned by relatives; on its trading voyages between New York & the West Indies the crew had to defend themselves from pirate attacks. When, not long before 1800, Willson married a Quaker girl from his home county she urged him to leave such unpeaceful expeditions & in 1801 they journeyed to Upper Canada where other Quakers were settling & land was easily attainable. Shipwrecked in Lake Ontario, Willson kicked the wheel of a spinning wheel overboard, lashed his 2 boys to it & the parents floated them to shore between them having lost all their possessions in the wreck, & in order to save what money they had, they walked from York to their location in Sharon [then called Hope] carrying the boys on their backs.  By 1805 Willson owned his land, but not contentment; I have been separated from all flesh, religious & profane by the moving of a Spirit often seeking lonely places wherein to retire & worship the Spirit that had received my soul in trust, to which I gave full credence & did obey. I gained admittance [6 Feb. 1805] ...into the society of the people called Quakers, after many years of tribulation & a rising & falling of the mind. At the end of seven years of prominent & respected, but silent, membership in the Yonge Street Meeting Willson’s Spirit required him publicly to testify of the being of a God. I had thought they were as I knew I was, - feeling the movings of a Spirit on the mind.” Not long before he was formally expelled from the Yonge Street Meeting on 15 Oct. 1812, Willson must have discovered that for the most part his contemporary Friends, pious, plain, reserved, austere, spiritually unadventurous, & distrustful of worship through music & art, were certainly not as he was. I appeared to the Elders & ministers of the church as a wild man from the desert ... I wept bitterly ... I was commanded ... to sit in silence. ... He then retired peaceably to his own house; some few followed him, who were anxious to obtain better information. These patiently heard, weighed the subjects & found full unity & friendship with him. Therefore we became a separate people ... as our discipline led to peace with all people more than any one in our knowledge, we called ourselves Children of Peace, because we were but young therein. Now according to Willson’s thinking, as revealed in a long list of publications, manuscripts, hundreds of hymns, & even in the symbolism of the buildings he designed, God is peace & lies at the “centre” of the divine-human soul or mind; The mind hath as many parts in it as there are in the creation, & the centre of it we wish to find. The guide to this peaceful centre in which innocence & experience, joy & misery, heaven & hell are joined is light or wisdom. Willson’s passion for light, both inner & outer, can still be seen in the temple he designed as early as 1822, which the Children of Peace, led by master builder Ebenezer Doan, completed & opened 29 Oct. 1831; it “contains 2952 panes of glass & is lighted once a-year with 116 candles” on the eve of the September Harvest Feast, one of three instituted by Willson as festivals of neighbourhood unity. Like his monthly sacrifices for charity, when the congregation came by itself to the temple with their alms offerings, these feasts were accompanied by processions of women in white singing beneath marching banners, by a band of well-trained musicians, by music from pipe organs built by Robert Coates, chanted poems, meditations spoken by Willson, & all proving his belief that, It is right to be delighted with the things of God. Led unofficially by Willson, the few hundreds that gathered about him in Sharon followed towards the “centre” so well that without detailed or rigid doctrinal frameworks they were able to worship God practically with the fullest development of such diverse talents as music & cooking, economic cooperation (a fund for the mutual benefit of each other), & supporting a domestic science school for girls. One of the loveliest examples of their architecture is a study they built for Willson composed entirely of glass where at his writing desk he kept proving his belief that Eden consists [not] of a certain tract of land; but ... is known by a certain condition of the mind; there were no poor in Sharon.”   Music had been one of the reasons Willson originally quarreled with the Quakers; the political implications of his communal experiment were, in 1837, very nearly the cause of the temple’s destruction. Sharon was well known to the authorities (the Family Compact) since Willson made publicly announced expeditions down to York (Toronto) with choir & band where he once preached that there ought neither to be masters nor servants; that all mankind are equal. Scorned, threatened with jail, or worse, in the early days of the Children, Willson later met such jibes as village of Priapus, Orgies, superstition & idolatry, & Children of Wrath.” But when in 1837 he would not approve William Lyon Mackenzie’s policy of violence, some of his own people called him Tory! And some of the Children, including two of his sons, joined Mackenzie’s rebels, were arrested & imprisoned for several months; “it was with difficulty that the militia could be restrained from destroying their temple. But by 1842 this difficult turn on the road to Peace had been smoothed out. Willson’s guidance was once more accepted & until his death Sharon flourished as never before.  There was one more turn through which one can sense Willson negotiating in his last writings: how, in such an informal organization, do you ensure that the listening to “His Spirit” continues to guide after the original listener has disappeared? His oldest son read his father’s sermons, but no new writer appeared; dark moments were the legal quarrels about the ownership of the buildings between Willson’s heirs & representatives of his followers. The last illumination in the 19th century took place in September 1888. On 2 Sept. 1890 a grandson sold the temple to a stranger. Reopened, however, in 1918 as a museum, the temple still stands, well cared for, much visited & loved, a symbol of the power Willson’s imagination is eventually seen as possessing, a power to bring people together towards Peace & to An altar to all nations/ With forty-eight bright windows on Ararat placed - as he once wrote in 1822.

We regret to learn that Mr. David Wilson Sharp, & founder of the denomination known as the Children of Peace, is now lying dangerously ill. No hopes are entrained of his recovery. During the week he has been called to suffer the loss of the partner of his life, which, together with his former extreme weakness & decrepitude, is fast sinking his once strong & vigorous frame. We cannot say positively, but if our memory serves us, Mr. Wilson is now above 90 years of age. For some years the partial loss of his sense of hearing has militated against free conversation; but his powers of mind & quickness of perception are quite as good as when we first became acquainted with him some 13 years ago. Ref: Newmarket Era Newspaper. DEATH OF DAVID WILLSON Died, at Sharon, East Gwillimbury Twp., on the 19th inst. Mr. David Willson at the advanced age 87 years 7 months & 12 days. Thus has passed away a very remarkable man - distinguished for many peculiarities & the founder of the religious sect known as the Children of Peace. Mr. Willson was born of Irish parentage, in duchess Co., NY, in the year1778; but his father died when the subject of this notice was quite young. Deceased married before he attained his majority & shortly after emigrating to Canada, tech Kingston in 1801. The same year he removed West & pitch his shanty in the Township of East Gwillimbury, Lot 10, in 2nd Concession, where he has since lived, up to the time of his death. Being almost the first settler in the Township, he had with them to suffer all the privation consequent upon their lot; but he lived to see the country developed to great fruitfulness & survived all his early companions. Some few years after settling in East Gwillimbury he became a member of the Society of Friends & took quite an active part in their meetings. Entertaining, however, some peculiar views on religious points that the Friends hardly considered orthodox, he was dismissed meeting & on this withdrawal quite a number who entertained similar views, also left the Society & attached themselves to Mr. Willson, who became their leader. This was the nucleus of the church afterwards founded by him & early combination of the little band known as the Children of Peace. They differed from Quakers in several peculiarities are found of music & musical instruments were made use of in their devotional exercise, were not obliged to conform to any particular from of dress & no religious test were required, as a standard of faith of godliness. I these peculiarities deceased differed with his Quaker friends - & there may be others, of which we do not know. About the hear 1820 this little body commenced the erection of the magnificent & commodious buildings in which the Society has worshipped & held semiannual feasts her since our residence here. Traditions says the plan upon which these Buildings were constructed, was revealed to Mr. Willson in a dream or vision. How far this is true we are not in a position to affirm: but one thing is certain, he was the architect & master builder & their singular construction has become the wonder of strangers from all sections of the Province. Mr. Willson was a man of indomitable energy & perseverance & the manner in which he built up a sect of considerable local influence & power, sustained ministry for nearly half a century, overcoming obstacles of almost superhuman nature, proves him to have been a man of great tact & shrewdness, especially when his limited education be taken into account. Deceased during he greater part of his life, was much given to religious exercised, rarely mixed with the multitude except at the house of worship & many years ago gave up all worldly pursuits that his mind might be the more free for spiritual devotions. For many years during each week he write original hymns & prayers for each successive Sabbath worship & his religious service were conducted with singing, prayer, reading of the Word, followed by expounding some texts, just the same as the Methodists or Presbyterians now do. During his official career with his little flock, deceased also wrote & published several volume, the larges & most important perhaps, was his Visions or Impression of the Mind - in which he claimed to have spiritual revelations, commanding him to establish the church he founded. In politics Mr. Wilson was a Reformer & took an active part in the early struggles of the party & raised his warning voice against the political acts of the Family Compact. The fact that his friends generally followed his advice enabled him to exercise considerable local political influence. For the last 10 or 15 years he did not take so much interest in the politics of the county. But the old patriarch has gone, a long life has been devoted zealously to the elevation and instructions of his adherents & everything used in worship where he has so long stated, bears the impress of mourning. He leaves behind him 3 sons & a large circle of friends to mourn his loss. - Preparations for Death [Written by the late David Willson & read at his funeral ]. Farewell, ye hills & fields & plains, To fruitful vales & shading groves: Farewell to great & honored names - Death, on my troubling spirit moves.

Farewell ye harvest of the field, And flowers that in the valley grow; Nor grazing flocks their pleasures yield -My thoughts are in the grave below. Farewell, ye little winning streams, That through the growing meadows run; And flowery gardens cloth with green. No more to me your pleasures come.

The limbs the bore my frame gave way; A withering plant before my God. I am to friends & foes this day. Farewell ye alters & may pan, I'm drawing near the close of times; Farewell to you fault-finding men, I's weak to write the sacred line. Farewell to you my dearest friends, That had with me my sorrows bore- On God alone my should depends, For you can strengthen me no more.Farewell to you my little bones, In who I have had great delight - Where I had joy now sorrow comes, My mornings are like shades of night. Like plants that in the garden grow, Set by your heavenly Father's hand; No more hath your blessings know, I'll cease to at your altar stand. My heart I leave in sacred praise, Twas heave above that moved your tongue; I bid farewell to pleasant days, To Sabbaths where your praise is sung. Farewell to melody & strings That once did fill my listening ear - Ye joyful band that peace proclaims, Brave you with a glistening tear. Farewell to my house [horse?] & hoe, But a few groans shall I repeat, My last companion in the tomb, And then my ancient friends I'll meet. Farewell to age and sorrow worn, The staff & pillow of my head; Age & infirmity I've borne - A painful night & recess bed. Farewell onto the House of God, Where long my trembling frame hat stood; Farewell to all that are abroad - To friends & foe I wish all good. Ref: Newmarket Era Newspaper, published 1866 Jan 26. .

He (David Willson) both in church & state discipleship a stone advocate for king & constitution, I have never known him to vey from it at no time. … They say that many who were as deeply implicated in the rebellion as themselves, would make no confession & was set at liberty, while they had to endure a long confinement in prison & two of the members are yet confined & for what cause I know not, Hugh Willson & Jesse Doan perhaps were as small dealer in politics as any in the place. They were managing their own proper business, until they were taken in the troop with the rest. [Multiple religious quotes.] Signed, John Doan. . There is no man between Toronto & Home that has done so much against rebellion as may say, before the fatal day … Applications hand hath bore upon us To teach us errors of our own I pray Oh God & heaven save us Our country & the British throne. Signed, David Willson. The above testimony & many others were written by David Wilson to his children in prisons, which may not be unsatisfactory to some of ourselves informed rulers. The tree is known by its fruit, or a many is known by his work. I could produce many testimony from his works of the like of these, in various parts of his life & I know not that he has changed his sentiments at any time. Signed, John Doan. .

One day David broke the silent contemplation with "let every ear with joy abound like David's harp of solemn sound." At the next meeting he was expelled from the Quaker Society. Five families left with David Willson to start The Hope Church of the Children of Peace. Later they changed the name to Sharon Temple, because in the Bible the plains of Sharon were known for their fertility. By 1840 there were 200 members. The Sharon Temple was build in 1825 - 30 on Lot 2, Con 2, Bayview Avenue. David Willson designed the Temple's square plan which symbolizes unity & justice to all people. The Children of Peace would deal ' on the square ' with everyone Sharon Temple was not a 'church' but a meeting place designed by Willson along traditional lines of three stories for the trinity; 12 lantern towers for the disciples; the ball for the ward & the Ark in the centre of the Temple. Sharon Temple was used one Saturday a month for services & regular Sunday services held in the meeting hall, now demolished. . Biography of DAVID WILLSON (Wilson), visionary, religious leader, author, & hymn writer; b. 7 June 1778 in Dutchess County, N.Y., son of “poor but pious Presbyterian parents,” John & Catherine Willson; m. Phebe (Phoebe) Titus & they had 3 sons & 2 daughters; d. 16 Jan. 1866 in Sharon, East Gwillimbury Township, Canada West. From Ireland John Willson came to America in 1770 & found that in the patroon country where he settled, near Poughkeepsie on the Hudson River, land could only be rented. His son’s earliest “occupation was hard labor in cultivating the soil, till . . . left an orphan . . . at the age of 14 . . . I inclined to mechanical business in joining timber one part unto another.” He also became a sailor on The Farmer, a ship owned by relatives; on its trading voyages between New York & the West Indies the crew had to defend themselves from pirate attacks. When, not long before 1800, Willson married a Quaker girl from his home county she urged him to leave such unpeaceful expeditions & in 1801 they journeyed to Upper Canada where other Quakers were settling & land was easily attainable. Shipwrecked in Lake Ontario, Willson kicked the wheel of a spinning wheel overboard, lashed his two boys to it “& the parents floated them to shore between them . . . having lost all their possessions in the wreck, & in order to save what money they had, they walked from York to their location in Sharon [then called Hope] carrying the boys . . . on their backs.”  By 1805 Willson owned his land, but not contentment; “I have been separated from all flesh, religious & profane by the moving of a Spirit . . . often seeking lonely places wherein to retire & worship the Spirit that had received my soul in trust, to which I gave full credence & did obey. . . . I gained admittance [6 Feb. 1805] . . . into the society of the people called Quakers, after many years of tribulation & a rising & falling of the mind.” At the end of 7 years of prominent & respected, but silent, membership in the Yonge Street Meeting Willson’s “Spirit” “required him publicly to testify of the being of a God.” “I had thought they were as I knew I was, - feeling the movings of a Spirit on the mind.” Not long before he was formally expelled from the Yonge Street Meeting on 15 Oct. 1812, Willson must have discovered that for the most part his contemporary Friends, pious, plain, reserved, austere, spiritually unadventurous, & distrustful of worship through music & art, were certainly not as he was. “I appeared to the Elders & ministers of the church as a wild man from the desert . . . I wept bitterly . . . I was commanded . . . to sit in silence. . . .” “He then retired peaceably to his own house; some few followed him, who were anxious to obtain better information. These patiently heard, weighed the subjects & found full unity & friendship with him.” “Therefore we became a separate people . . . as our discipline led to peace with all people more than any one in our knowledge, we called ourselves Children of Peace, because we were but young therein.” Now according to Willson’s thinking, as revealed in a long list of publications, manuscripts, hundreds of hymns, & even in the symbolism of the buildings he designed, “God is peace” & lies at the “centre” of the divine-human soul or mind; “The mind hath as many parts in it as there are in the creation, & the centre of it we wish to find.” The guide to this peaceful centre in which innocence & experience, joy & misery, heaven & hell are joined is light or wisdom. Willson’s passion for light, both inner & outer, can still be seen in the temple he designed as early as 1822, which the Children of Peace, led by master builder Ebenezer Doan, completed & opened 29 Oct. 1831; it “contains 2952 panes of glass & is lighted once a-year with 116 candles” on the eve of the September Harvest Feast, one of 3 instituted by Willson as festivals of neighbourhood unity. Like his monthly sacrifices for charity, when the congregation came by itself to the temple with their alms offerings, these feasts were accompanied by processions of women in white singing beneath marching banners, by a band of well-trained musicians, by music from pipe organs built by Robert Coates, chanted poems, meditations spoken by Willson, & all proving his belief that “It is right to be delighted with the things of God.” Led unofficially by Willson, the “few hundreds” that gathered about him in Sharon followed towards the “centre” so well that without detailed or rigid doctrinal frameworks they were able to worship God practically with the fullest development of such diverse talents as music & cooking, economic cooperation (“a fund for the mutual benefit of each other”), & supporting a domestic science school for girls. One of the loveliest examples of their architecture is a study they built for Willson “composed entirely of glass” where at his writing desk he kept proving his belief that “Eden consists [not] of a certain tract of land; but . . . is known by a certain condition of the mind”; “. . . there were no poor in Sharon.”   Music had been one of the reasons Willson originally quarreled with the Quakers; the political implications of his communal experiment were, in 1837, very nearly the cause of the temple’s destruction. Sharon was well known to the authorities (the Family Compact) since Willson made publicly announced expeditions down to York (Toronto) with choir & band where he once preached “that there ought neither to be masters nor servants; that all mankind are equal.” Scorned, threatened with jail, or worse, in the early days of the Children, Willson later met such jibes as “village of Priapus,” “Orgies,” “superstition & idolatry,” & “Children of Wrath.” But when in 1837 he would not approve William Lyon Mackenzie’s policy of violence, some of his own people called him “Tory”! And some of the Children, including two of his sons, joined Mackenzie’s rebels, were arrested & imprisoned for several months; “it was with difficulty that the militia could be restrained from destroying their temple.” But by 1842 this difficult turn on the road to “Peace” had been smoothed out. Willson’s guidance was once more accepted & until his death Sharon flourished as never before. There was one more turn through which one can sense Willson negotiating in his last writings: how, in such an informal organization, do you ensure that the listening to “His Spirit” continues to guide after the original listener has disappeared? His oldest son “read his father’s sermons,” but no new writer appeared; dark moments were the legal quarrels about the ownership of the buildings between Willson’s heirs & representatives of his followers. The last illumination in the 19th century took place in September 1888. On 2 Sept. 1890 a grandson sold the temple to a stranger. Reopened, however, in 1918 as a museum, the temple still stands, well cared for, much visited & loved, a symbol of the power Willson’s imagination is eventually seen as possessing, a power to bring people together towards “Peace” & to “An altar to all nations/ With forty-eight bright windows on Ararat” placed - as he once wrote in 1822. .

Politics of Schism: Quakers & Children of Peace In 1806 the Quakers of the Yonge Street Monthly Meeting sought the patronage of the state under the patronage of magistrate-merchant-tavernkeeper Elisha Beman, an ambitious New Yorker, who sought to obtain a monopoly over one of the bottle necks through which the fur trade flowed south through the Quaker settlement on Yonge Street. Yonge Street, which was his sole link to the markets at York, and thence to Montreal and New York. The conflicting values of the orthodox &"experimental" Quakers can be seen in the sides they took in the religious dispute over Willson's ministry. The Yonge Street Monthly Meeting can more realistically be described as a series of settlements that were separated from each other by various government reserves. Each of these settlements was a tightly knit economic & kinship unit that worshipped together in a meeting under the loose jurisdiction of the Yonge Street Monthly Meeting. Rather we had best refer to the Lower and Upper Yonge Street settlements, the Queen Street settlement, the Whitchurch settlement, the Uxbridge settlement, & the Pickering settlement. The lower Yonge Street, seceded from the Yonge Street Monthly Meeting to join Willson. These Friends on lower Yonge Street were among the most prominent in the Society, and by choosing Willson they reaffirmed Quakerism's roots in the religion of experience rather than in its new orthodoxy. The reason that members of the Yonge Street Preparative Meeting, but not of the other associated meetings, should choose to join Willson is, in part, a geographic accident. Yonge Street had originally been laid out as a military road. As such, it provided a number of difficulties for the pacifist Quakers.

We regret to learn that Mr. David Wilson Sharp, & founder of the denomination known as the Children of Peace, is now lying dangerously ill. No hopes are entrained of his recovery. During the week he has been called to suffer the loss of the partner of his life, which, together with his former extreme weakness & decrepitude, is fast sinking his once strong & vigorous frame. We cannot say positively, but if our memory serves us, Mr. Wilson is now above 90 years of age. For some years the partial loss of his sense of hearing has militated against free conversation; but his powers of mind & quickness of perception are quite as good as when we first became acquainted with him some 13 years ago. Ref: Newmarket Era Newspaper. DEATH OF DAVID WILLSON Died, at Sharon, East Gwillimbury Twp., on the 19th inst. Mr. David Willson at the advanced age 87 years 7 months & 12 days. Thus has passed away a very remarkable man - distinguished for many peculiarities & the founder of the religious sect known as the Children of Peace. Mr. Willson was born of Irish parentage, in duchess Co., NY, in the year1778; but his father died when the subject of this notice was quite young. Deceased married before he attained his majority & shortly after emigrating to Canada, tech Kingston in 1801. The same year he removed West & pitch his shanty in the Township of East Gwillimbury, Lot 10, in 2nd Concession, where he has since lived, up to the time of his death. Being almost the first settler in the Township, he had with them to suffer all the privation consequent upon their lot; but he lived to see the country developed to great fruitfulness & survived all his early companions. Some few years after settling in East Gwillimbury he became a member of the Society of Friends & took quite an active part in their meetings. Entertaining, however, some peculiar views on religious points that the Friends hardly considered orthodox, he was dismissed meeting & on this withdrawal quite a number who entertained similar views, also left the Society & attached themselves to Mr. Willson, who became their leader. This was the nucleus of the church afterwards founded by him & early combination of the little band known as the Children of Peace. They differed from Quakers in several peculiarities are found of music & musical instruments were made use of in their devotional exercise, were not obliged to conform to any particular from of dress & no religious test were required, as a standard of faith of godliness. I these peculiarities deceased differed with his Quaker friends - & there may be others, of which we do not know. About the hear 1820 this little body commenced the erection of the magnificent & commodious buildings in which the Society has worshipped & held semiannual feasts her since our residence here. Traditions says the plan upon which these Buildings were constructed, was revealed to Mr. Willson in a dream or vision. How far this is true we are not in a position to affirm: but one thing is certain, he was the architect & master builder & their singular construction has become the wonder of strangers from all sections of the Province. Mr. Willson was a man of indomitable energy & perseverance & the manner in which he built up a sect of considerable local influence & power, sustained ministry for nearly half a century, overcoming obstacles of almost superhuman nature, proves him to have been a man of great tact & shrewdness, especially when his limited education be taken into account. Deceased during he greater part of his life, was much given to religious exercised, rarely mixed with the multitude except at the house of worship & many years ago gave up all worldly pursuits that his mind might be the more free for spiritual devotions. For many years during each week he write original hymns & prayers for each successive Sabbath worship & his religious service were conducted with singing, prayer, reading of the Word, followed by expounding some texts, just the same as the Methodists or Presbyterians now do. During his official career with his little flock, deceased also wrote & published several volume, the larges & most important perhaps, was his Visions or Impression of the Mind - in which he claimed to have spiritual revelations, commanding him to establish the church he founded. In politics Mr. Wilson was a Reformer & took an active part in the early struggles of the party & raised his warning voice against the political acts of the Family Compact. The fact that his friends generally followed his advice enabled him to exercise considerable local political influence. For the last 10 or 15 years he did not take so much interest in the politics of the county. But the old patriarch has gone, a long life has been devoted zealously to the elevation and instructions of his adherents & everything used in worship where he has so long stated, bears the impress of mourning. He leaves behind him 3 sons & a large circle of friends to mourn his loss. . Preparations for Death [Written by the late David Willson & read at his funeral ]. Farewell, ye hills & fields & plains, To fruitful vales & shading groves: Farewell to great & honored names - Death, on my troubling spirit moves. Ye heavenly lights that on me shine, To whom the kindred nations tow [? know?] - No more your comforts can be mine; I bid farewell & leave you now. Farewell to you my morning suns, It once was joy to see you rise; But as the shade of death now comes, I see your light with weeping eyes. Farewell ye harvest of the field, And flowers that in the valley grow; Nor grazing flocks their pleasures yield - My thoughts are in the grave below. Farewell, ye little winning streams, That through the growing meadows run; And flowery gardens cloth with green. No more to me your pleasures come. My feathered friends of morning I lent, Whose homes? the green & spreading bough, I lent mine ear to hear you now. Farewell to yon, my walks abroad. The limbs the bore my frame gave way; A withering plant before my God. I am to friends & foes this day. Farewell ye alters & may pan, I'm drawing near the close of times; Farewell to you fault-finding men, I's weak to write the sacred line. Farewell to you my dearest friends, That had with me my sorrows bore- On God alone my should depends, For you can strengthen me no more.Farewell to you my little bones, In who I have had great delight - Where I had joy now sorrow comes, My mornings are like shades of night. Like plants that in the garden grow, Set by your heavenly Father's hand; No more hath your blessings know, I'll cease to at your altar stand. My heart I leave in sacred praise, Twas heave above that moved your tongue; I bid farewell to pleasant days, To Sabbaths where your praise is sung. Farewell to melody & strings That once did fill my listening ear - Ye joyful band that peace proclaims, Brave you with a glistening tear. Farewell to my house [horse?] & hoe, But a few groans shall I repeat, My last companion in the tomb, And then my ancient friends I'll meet. Farewell to age & sorrow worn, The staff & pillow of my head; Age & infirmity I've borne - A painful night & recess bed. Farewell onto the House of God, Where long my trembling frame hat stood; Farewell to all that are abroad - To friends & foe I wish all good. Ref: Newmarket Era Newspaper, published 1866 Jan 26. .
