Biographical history

Presbyterians in the New London, Prince Edward Island, area were first ministered to by Rev. James MacGregor in 1806. For twenty years thereafter Rev. Keir from Princetown allotted part of his services to the Cavendish and New London congregations until in 1826 they were organized into a separate congregation under Rev. Hugh Dunbar. From 1838 to 1845 Rev. John Geddie served in this ministry, followed by Rev. Isaac Murray in 1850. About 1862 New London North and Summerfield separated from the Cavendish/Rustico/New Glasgow section. From 1877 to 1887 North and South New London were united until, at the latter date, New London North was united with Kensington under Rev. John MacLeod. For a period of time in the first half of the twentieth century the charge was known as the Clifton/New London Presbyterian Church, becoming, in 1938, the Presbyterian Church in Canada New London Charge. In 1974 it seems to have become known as St. John's Presbyterian Church, New London.

Custodial history

Scope and content

The fonds consists of an incomplete run of financial statements and annual reports of St. John's Presbyterian Church in New London from 1923 to 1991. The early annual reports are in reality financial statements of contributors, receipts and disbursements. In 1974 they begin to include brief reports of session, Board of Managers, special funds, societies, etc. The fonds also contains an annual report from the Long River Presbyterian Church (1950), a financial statement of the Margate Pastoral Charge (1950) and the last sermon preached by Niall H. Burnett in St. James Church in Charlottetown, 6 October 1940.
