1 found Henry J. Cundall’s Map of 1851, eleven years after the first congre- gation was formed in the Lot 7, Campbellton area, which shows up the road one or one and a half miles, the symbol of a church. There was no Roman Catholic Church for about thirty years after 1852. There was a building there of some kind used for a church, probably on the property of James Ramsay, the Edward Collicutt place. There was a church there in 1852 and probably before that, which had to be Presbyterian.

According to Presbyterian Church records, Campbellton had appointed church elders by 1854, and you are not likely to appoint elders and organize a Sunday School, which existed in the 1850’s, without having a church building. The first two elders were Robert Sturgeon and James Ramsay.

The Sturgeon place was across from the present Hudson place below Camp- bellton. The old house on the Hudson farm may be one of the old Sturgeon buildings. Robert Sturgeon was a very fine man. There is a gap of two years in the 1850’s, 1853 through 1854, when we do not know who the minister was. By 1855, The Rev. Allan Fraser had come to serve as minister of Cascumpec and the West Shore. Rev. Allan Fraser stayed from 1855 through 1864, a period of ten years.
