Yonge St Monthly Meeting
Record of marriage Certificates
1804 - 1840
Archives: H-15-2
This marriage register is held by the Canadian Quaker Archives and Library in Newmarket,
Ontario. This transcription was done from the images of a filming available at the Archives of
Ontario (MS 303, reel 48) under the coordination of Randy Saylor. The pages of the original
document were numbered and the image numbers below refer to the digital copy. This register
was retained by the Hicksite Quakers after 1828.
The text was transcribed as written so researchers must consider the many variations in spelling
when searching the transcribed text. Witnesses names have been typed into tables in the order
they were recorded; the tables were not part of the original text. Transcriber 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
to organizations that support this free access. The transcription and proof reading was done by
Carm Foster. CFHA wishes to express its gratitude to those who worked on this project.
Yonge Street meeting was established in 1804 as a Preparative meeting and in 1806 it was
made a Monthly Meeting. Both Pelham Monthly Meeting and Yonge St Monthly Meeting were
under Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. In 1810, the three monthly meetings in Upper Canada;
Adolphustown, Pelham and Yonge St, were joined under the Canada Half Yearly Meeting which
reported to New York Yearly Meeting.
Yonge St meeting was established by Timothy Rogers and many settlers from Vermont followed
him to settle along Yonge St in what is today the city of Newmarket. There were close
connections with Pelham and Niagara area Quaker settlers and many also moved to the Yonge
St area and settled principally around Uxbridge. These meetings were established under Yonge
St: Whitchurch, 1810; Queens St, 1810; Uxbridge, 1810, and Pickering, 1819. The original
Yonge St meeting house has survived today and continues as an active Quaker meeting.
There is an excellent book on the Yonge St meeting, From Quaker to Upper Canadian: Faith
and Community Among Yonge Street Friends, 1801 - 1850 by Robynne Rogers Healey, 2006.
Researchers are requested to cite the transcription when incorporating passages excerpted
from this transcription. Please note that CFHA welcomes written comment, submissions and
research related to the Canadian Quaker experience and legacy for publication consideration in
The Meetinghouse newsletter or the Canadian Quaker History Journal. Please contact

This is a complete transcription and it is hoped that researchers will find it revealing about the
life and times of these early Quaker settlers in Upper Canada. A microfilm done in 1974 is
available at the Archives of Ontario. A more recent filming of the original minute book done by
Ancestry.com is on line with a searchable nominal index. This full transcription and the Ancestry
images will complement each other.
