(Research):Clarendon, Quebec

Clarendon is a municipality in the Outaouais region, part of the Pontiac Regional County Municipality, Quebec, Canada. It is located on the north shore of the Ottawa River across from Horton Township in Ontario.

Its settlements include Clarendon, North Clarendon, Charteris, Lawn, Murrell, Radford, Sand Bay, Starks Corners, and Yarm. The town of Shawville is surrounded by, but not part of, Clarendon.[4]

Largely cleared of forests, Clarendon is a predominantly agricultural municipality, with an elevation of 167 meters (548 ft) above sea level. The only notable lake is Green Lake, which is surrounded by cottages.

?b?History of shawville and Clarendon Township?/b?
The township was first surveyed in 1792 and appears on the Gale and Duberger map of 1795.[4] Settlement did not occur until 1825 when James Prendergast, a retired British Army Officer, was commissioned by the government to lead this task. From that year until 1827, free land was granted, resulting in a wave of settlers, starting with 15 settlers near the township's centre (now Shawville). But Prendergast, originally from religiously-divided Ireland, stipulated that settlers only be Protestants in order to avoid similar religious strife. As a result, Clarendon (and Shawville) is known as the heartland of Anglo-Saxon Protestantism in western Quebec.[5]

Between 1827 and 1835, Prendergast was responsible for establishing the first four schools and bringing in its teachers. He also built a water-driven sawmill and grist mill at his home along the Ottawa River.[5]

In 1833, the Township of Clarendon was officially established. It was named after Clarendon Park, near Salisbury in Wiltshire, England (where Henry II had convened peers and bishops to formulate the Constitutions of Clarendon in 1164). In 1837, the post office opened.[6]
From then on and into the 1840s, when the timber industry started to prosper, a second wave of settlement occurred, doubling the population of Clarendon between 1840 and 1850.[5]

In 1855, the Township Municipality of Clarendon was created. This style was reformed to Municipality of Clarendon on October 11, 2003.

WILLIAM HAMILTON (1788-1854)
Some family trees on ancestry suggest he arrived in Clarendon about 1821. In the second
Prendergast report, he has settled on Lot 15, Range 7 and has cleared 5 acres and part of the
road. This confirms to some extent that he was in the area at least a few years before the land
was allocated by Prendergast. As of 1833, he appears to have acquired another piece of land,
lot 14, Range 7. This is confirmed by the 1842 census as by then he has 300 acres of land.
From a couple of thin files at the Archives, the Gravelle notes suggest that he was born in 1787,
not 1788. It also says he comes from Glasgow and is a carpenter. Gravelle also says he is an
ex-soldier. In the 1842 Census, William is also identified as a carpenter, with a wife and six
children. They are Agnes, 1829, John, 1831, William 1835, Robert 1837, George 1838, James
1841. It appears that his next child, Jessie is born in 1845. The 1842 census also lists a Jennet
Hamilton, age 87, who is from Scotland; perhaps she is his mother.
While he and his wife are from Scotland, the children were all born in Canada. His wife is
Margaret Duncan (1804-1864) and she is from Paisley, Scotland. The Gravelle file suggests
she was born on April 17, 1806. As of the 1842 census he is farming on a 300 acre property.
He is growing lots of crops and also has considerable livestock, especially sheep. The family
worships with the Church of Scotland. In 1845 he has a daughter, Janet (Jessie) who marries
Samuel Horner on 28 June 1866. These are the parents of my grandmother, Janet (Jessie)
Horner. She marries Samuel Sherwood Dale in 1907. (Gravelle files say that the births of the
Hamiltons can be found in the Anglican baptism records.)
He may have left Scotland 19 May 1821 from Greenock, (Glasgow), Scotland, having been
sponsored by The Glasgow Trongate Society and sailing on the ship "David of London", (Capt
Gemmell, 364 settlers). The book, The Lanark Society Settlers, has a William Hamilton listed.
NOTE: There is a John Hamilton with a wife and either 4 or 6 children renting 30 acres of land
as of 1842. He says he has been in the country for 13 years and he and his wife come from
Ireland, with the children born in Canada. Presumably he arrived in the second wave of settlers;
it is not clear if he knew William Hamilton given that one came from Scotland and the other from
Ireland.

(Research):Margaret was oldest child of Agnes and Robert.
