Historic White Chapel
excerpt from "Stories of Prince Edward County", by Alan R Capon, published 1973 by Mika Publishing, Belleville, Ontario
Two miles north of Picton, and in the first concession of the Township of Hallowell, may be seen, to this day, one of the oldest Methodist Chapels in Upper Canada.
The ground and the lumber for the chapel were the gift of the pioneer Prince Edward County family of Stephen and Polly Conger. the first work on erecting the chapel began in June, 1809 and an old account book recorded that some paid subscriptions in money, some in wheat, some in teaming and work; and one person paid one pound "by way of a turn". The deed was registered at the registry office in Hallowell (Picton) on October 21, 1816, although it was written May 10, 1911, and the original document is still on file in the office.
The first trustees were Stephen Conger, Helebrant Valleau, Henry Johnson, Abraham Vanvblarricom, James Dougal, Jacob German, Jacob Benson, James Wilson and Casparus Van Dusen.
Outside the chapel stands a plaque erected by the archeological and historic sites board of Ontario which reads as follows:
"The white chapel 1809. This church, formerly known as the 'Old Chapel' was built on land donated by Stephen Conger, a Loyalist from New Jersey, who had settled with his family in Hallowell Township in 1787. Commenced in 1809, it was the first Methodist Church in Prince Edward County and one of the earliest in Upper Canada. Built by William Moore and financed by local subscription, it has been maintained as a place of worship for a longer period than any other church of Methodist origin in Ontario"
Abraham married Rhoda Alger, daughter of Elisha Alger and Sarah Lacy or Locie, on 15 Aug 1799 in Hastings County, Ontario.1 3 (Rhoda Alger was born on 2 Apr 1783 in Albany, New York 1 3 8 and died on 16 Sep 1859 in Picton, Prince Edward County, Ontario 3.)

Elisha Alger settled in Cramahe Township. He was a loyalist who originally came from Lyme New London Connecticut and then is found in the 1790 NY Dutchess County census. Because he was a Quaker Elisha did not join a fighting unit, but rather served as a courier for the British between NY and Canada . His Order in Council is dated 1796. He received 200 acres at Marysburgh, east of the Carrying Place. He married Sarah Locy or Lacy in NY about 1768. They had one son, Peter, and 8 daughters--Eunice married John Post , Rhoda married Abraham Van Blaricom, Irena married Peter Van Blaricom, Lydia married James Mosure, Christeena married Aaron Aylsworth and Sarah married Solomon Huff. Two daughters, Amy and Mary died in childhood. Eunice received land in Alnwick Township but immediately transferred it because she and John Post lived in Prince Edward County. Peter settled in Cramahe where he received land as the son of a Loyalist in 1807. Peter's wife's name was Polly Cummings. She was the daughter of Isaac Cummings, an American Revolutionary War soldier. Polly Cummings had at least two siblings, Abel Cummings of Cramahe and George Cummings of Ameliasburgh. Peter and Polly Alger were the parents of 8 or 9 children. The Alger children married into the Winn, Cryderman, and Gaffield families. Elisha and Sarah Alger along with many of their family are buried in the Colborne Union Cemetery. This cemetery used to be called the Alger Cemetery because it was started on the Alger farm. We have substantial information on the Alger family and would love to hear from any connections.

NOTE. Rev. Robert McDowall was the first regularly sent Presbyterian Missionary to Upper Canada. He was a native of Saratoga County, New York, educated at Williams' College, Schenectady, N.Y., and sent by the Synod of the Reformed Dutch Church of Albany as a Missionary to the U. E. L. refugees of the Bay of Quinte District, numbers of whom came from near Albany and points on the Hudson River, and were members of that denomination before leaving. He reached Kingston early in the spring of 1798, and soon went to Bath and Fredericksburgh, and settled in the latter township, where be remained until his death in 1841. During the first two years he worked as a missionary at large, and then organized congregations at Bath and in Fredericksburgh and Ernest Town, three miles north of Bath. He became the regular minister of these, and had churches built. He continued his regular mission visitations to Kingston and Prince Edward County, sometimes going as far west as where London now stands. He married probably more persons than any other minister in Upper Canada. His register was given to Queen's College, Kingston, since his death, by R. J. McDowall, his grandson, now residing in Kingston, and is kept in the vault of Queen's. The following are extracts from that register. Some pages are so dim from years that it is difficult to decipher them. In July, 1898, a centennial was held at the McDowall Memorial Church, Sandhurst, Fredericksburgh, where he died, and where his remains and those of most members of his family lie buried. It was attended by thousands. T.W.C.
