And, a bit more info about Stoney Settlement. My Great Great Grandfather and mother are buried in the cemetery ... he was from Switzerland and his wife from England. Photos have been attached. Until sometime in the '90s, the church still stood ... now I can't even see the foundation.

Hi, a bit more information. My Great Grandmother and Grandmother were both born at the, still standing and occupied, log cabin in Stoney Settlement. My great uncle sold the log cabin to friends of the family back in the 70s. I have returned there but each time no one is home. Eventually, my great Grandmother mother moved to Millbridge. The Millbridge home was a small farm that had 1 cow. As kids, we went their and the general store was open!

Too hot to cook in the cabin during summer. Built the porch but bugs were bad so they made it fully enclosed.

The church was just down the road a bit from this cemetery ... I was pleased to see the cemetery is still maintained. No one knows exactly when they arrived in Canada but estimates are the 1860s.

My great Uncle recounted that one early morning he heard someone knocking on the door, he opened it and was face to face with a bear ... we asked him what he did? His response ... "I closed the door."

Note the chimney is in the center ... originally, the cabin had two fireplaces and chimneys at opposite ends.
