St. Paul's Anglican Cemetery, Herdman's Corner, Hinchinbrooke, QC

Email: Ken Steffenson Return to Home Page Last edit: 2007-10-28

This cemetery list was compiled in June of 2004 by Carolyn Canary and Mary Ellen Konopka, both descendents of John Boyd of Boyd Settlement , who came to Huntingdon in 1832 with his young family and his brother, William, from County Down, Ireland. The cemetery was photographed by Ken Steffenson in May 2007 and the cemetery list updated to include photographs and changes between June 2004 and May 2007.

St Paul's was built and open for services in 1848, though no date or written evidence of the consecration of the church has surfaced, the date is inscribed above the entrance door. The Reverend Wm. Morris was pastor at the time. Due to dwindling numbers of subscribing members to the church, it was closed on March 27, 1969. The remaining families mostly went on to St. John's in Huntingdon.

The information that was gathered in 2004 was done with as much accuracy as possible, owing to the condition of some of the stones. Some were broken, parts missing, badly damaged by natural causes or whatever lack of attention allows. Some stones are in very good condition. We tried to record the information as it was discernable on each existing stone, including name, age, relationships, and nativity where possible. When in doubt, we took our best guess but indicated so with "?' or "…" to indicate the fact that the information may be incorrect or just unreadable.

The ultimate result is a list as complete as possible at this time. We compared our collected information to that of Gerry Rogers, done in 1978, and have indicated with "§", names which do not appear on the Rogers' list. Also included at the end, are a few names which we did not find but were on the Rogers' list.

We hope that this effort will help researchers looking for family in the Hinchinbrooke area of Huntingdon County, Que.

Mary Ellen Konopka & Carolyn Canary
