came to be called , Spring Valley , and Burlington . Among these were the following: John and Sarah Adams from Hilltown, Derbyshire, 1774; John and Elizabeth Millman from Paignton, Devonshire , 1821; William and Isabella Profitt from Northum¬ berland, 1821; William and Margaret Evans, who had a family of ten children; William Paynter , 1821; Patrick Duggan and the Murphys; Joseph Coulson , Devonshire , 1840; Champions, from England by way of Newfoundland , 1801; Harringtons, by the same route; Caseleys, Sudsburys and Bryantons from England . In the 1857 D.C.S . report attendances of two hundred were an¬ nounced. In 1858 Mr. Meek confided to the C.C . & S.S .: "Thank God the new church seems to prosper, though I sometimes think the old one never will." In that year the fittings were completed at a cost of £30, but the church had yet to be ceiled and plastered and a porch or tower to be erected. Money was scarce, although on one occasion in 1859 the collection amounted to SI, all in copper!
