• Notes

  George Gillmore(1720-1811) was born in County Antrim, Ireland, studied at the University of Edinburgh, and in 1769 emigrated to the American Colonies. He was ordained by the Church of Scotland in 1773 and preached in Voluntown, Connecticut, until 1775 when he was forced by the local rebels to stop preaching because of his Loyalist sentiments. He farmed to support his family and moved several times before being forced to flee to Quebec. In 1785 he and his family, who had joined him at Sorel, Quebec, moved to Windsor, Nova Scotia, where he served Presbyterian congregations at Windsor and at Newport until1791 when he moved to Horton. With this appointment he assumed responsibility for the Church at Grand Pré , and here he was buried when he died at the age of 91 years on 20 September 1811.
