Name of creator

Brooklyn Church of Scotland

Administrative history

Brooklyn, Prince Edward Island is located five miles southwest of Montague. It is unclear when the Church of Scotland congregation was established in this community, but it is known that Reverend Donald MacDonald (1793-1867), first Church of Scotland minister on PEI, who began ministering in the Murray River area circa 1826 played an integral role in establishing this church and the one in Belle River which were part of the same charge.

Name of creator

Belle River Church of Scotland

Administrative history

Belle River is located eleven miles west of Murray River, Prince Edward Island . It is unclear when the Church of Scotland congregation was established in this community, but it is known that Reverend Donald MacDonald (1793-1867), first Church of Scotland minister on PEI, began ministering in the Murray River area circa 1826. It appears that the Belle River congregation and that of Brooklyn came under one charge and that Reverend MacDonald played an integral role in establishing the two churches. It is documented that in the winter of 1902, the Belle River Church was relocated to land purchased from Joseph Saunders, where it presently stands.

Custodial history

The fonds also contains a list of "extraordinary cases" recorded by Elder Peter Hume from 1868-1889.
