This transcription was done from the images of a filming available at the Archives of Ontario
(MS 303, reel 43 & 44) under the coordination of Randy Saylor. The image numbers below refer
to the digital copy. The text was transcribed as written so researchers must consider the many
variations in spelling when searching the transcribed text. Minor changes to paragraphing were
done to make reading easier especially in the case of long run on sentences. Transcribers notes
are in square brackets and hard to decipher words are indicated with question marks.
This transcription is donated to the Canadian Friends Historical Association (CFHA). It is made
freely available and supports search, cut and paste. CFHA will officially grant linking privileges

Carman Foster. CFHA wishes to express its gratitude to those who worked on this project.
Uxbridge meeting was established in 1806 as an indulged meeting and later as a Preparative
meeting in 1817 under Yonge St Monthly meeting. The meeting house was built in 1820 and
survives today. To learn about the early settlement read this excellent article, Stories from
Uxbridge Quaker Heritage, Allan McGillivray, Canadian Quaker Journal, 2004/5, Vol 69-70, 7-
17, online at CFHA.
Given that Uxbridge was a Preparative meeting, researchers wishing to follow what happens to
business items that arise, should go to the Yonge St MM minutes for the following month.
This book remained in the hands of the Hicksite Quakers after 1828 however the Orthodox
retained the meeting house. In 1842 the Uxbridge and Pickering Hicksite Quakers were
reorganized as the Pickering Monthly Meeting (Hicksite). The Uxbridge Hicksites built a new
meeting house in 1844. [History of the Society of Friends in Canada, Dorland, 174]
There is an excellent book on the Yonge St meeting which includes Uxbridge, From Quaker to
Upper Canadian: Faith and Community Among Yonge Street Friends, 1801 - 1850 by Robynne
Rogers Healey, 2006.
