Notes - . 1823 Dec 18, Toronto Banns Proclaimed,
Elisha Lawrence married Sarah Devins.
Witnesses: Isaac Devins & Peter Lawrence.
Marriage #117 by Rev. William Jenkins, Richmond Hill.
HILLTOP GORE PIONEER CEMETERY was made unique; lacking common characteristics that typically served to distinguish a village.
In the place of a formal church stood a schoolhouse. With a removable altar, for use on Sundays, the school became an available and convenient resource to various religious denominations.
It was often referred to as "The Schoolhouse Burying Ground" and sometimes as the Anglican and Methodist Cemetery.
This Protestant school, built in 1835, was the first in Toronto Gore. It stood on top of the hill, on the northern edge of the cemetery. It was one room, about 30 square feet, built of hardwood logs lined with dressed lumber. At capacity, the schoolhouse held as many as 80 pupils.
. 1966, the cemetery was again set in order; the brush cleared, the ground leveled and the larger stones set on concrete foundations, and re-lettered. The monuments that were flat were built into a concrete cairn with a central monument
