St. James Anglican Church, Franktown, Ontario
—————
St. James Anglican Church in Franktown was built in 1822. It is one
of the earliest stone churches built in the Ottawa area and is still
in good condition. Franktown is on the road connecting Perth and Richmond.
It is the "Lilac Capital of Canada".
Franktown was a supply depot for early settlers in Perth, Lanark and
Richmond. Some of the surnames in the Pioneer Cemetery at Franktown are
Salter, Kidd, Lewis, Ford.
—————-
Many of the following families who came to Beckwith Township were
related to or descended from either the 1823 Peter Robinson settlers
from south-west Ireland or the Scottish Emigration Society Settlers in Lanark
Township who came in 1820 from the Scottish Lowlands. The Peter Robinson
Settlers were almost all Catholic – the Scottish settlers were almost all
Presbyterian. Many of the Irish Protestant families who settled in the
Franktown area came from County Wexford, Ireland (see Bruce Elliott's article).
The year is the approximate year of birth.
Most of these families are found in the records of St. Michael's, Corkery,
at one time or another.
