appeared in the Royal Gazette of February 25, 1840:

"On Monday 10 March 1840 will be sold at Mr. Hooper's all such pews in the new church at Milton as may be liable for forfiture for non-payment of certain assessments made and levied for finishing the church."

A later note in the same newspaper indicates that final accounts were to be settled on April 20, 1840. On June 7, 1841 the Gazette carried the following ad: "Tenders will be received to July 1 for lathing, plastering and ceiling the inside of Milton Church on Princetown Road. Apply to Hon. J.M. Holl or Mr. Simon Dodd."

Rev. Mr. Lloyd purchased the farm now owned and occupied by Lester Johnston and built there a house called "Milton House". This house was occupied until about 35 years ago and has since been demolished. In this large frame house were eight fireplaces, four upstairs and four down and a large cooking fireplace in the kitchen. Joseph Copp was brought over from England by Rev. Lloyd to run the farm.

Mr. Lloyd was rector at Milton from 1837—1855 during which time regular services were held. There were 392 baptisms, the first being the rector's son, William Henry, in 1837. 51 burials were recorded, the first being Eliza Craig Thornhill, a resident of lot 32, on April 13, 1844 at the age of 77 years. In 1845 the one burial recorded was that of Jane (Moore) Hooper, wife of David Hooper, on March 28, age 63. Rev. Lloyd also officiated at 81 marriages, which in those times were not generally held in the church, the first being that of Christian Younker and Margaret Molyneaux on January 7, 1840.

St. Mark's Church, Rustico, was also built during the time of Rev. Lloyd. The land for this church was donated by John Hodge Winsloe
