    Notes:

    In the summer of 1833, Rev. Peter MacNaughton arrived in Upper Canada from Aberdeen, under the direction of the Glasgow Colonial Society, Inducted to the charge of Vaughan on 21 August 1833, Rev. MacNaughton was originally appointed to serve the Presbyterian congregations in the Townships of Thorah and Eldon near Lake Simcoe; however, he found these congregations unwilling to grant him a secure ministry. He left Thorah and Eldon "with a heavy heart" and went on to Vaughan where, in a letter sent back to the Society dated 21 August 1833, he indicated that he found "the Gaelic people overjoyed on finding one to address them in their own language." He goes on to say that, "I have settled at Vaughan and I do not of conscience expect any more aid from the Society at Glasgow." Church records indicate that Rev. MacNaughton was granted a stipend of 30 pounds annually by the congregation at Maple.

    Because the church had no manse in its early years Rev. MacNaughton initially lived with families of the congregation for a month at a time. He then built a log house on the south east corner of Lot 21, Concession 7 where he lived with his own family until 1848 when he left the charge.

    Rev. MacNaughton was on of ten ministers and missionaries sent by the Glasgow Colonial Society to preach in Upper Canada in 1833. Being sent under the directions of the Established Church of Scotland, Rev. MacNaughton soon joined the York Presbytery of the of the Synod of the Presbyterian Church of Canada (Kirk Synod). This first Synod of Ministers connected with the Established Church of Scotland was formed in Kingston in 1831 and divided into four Presbyteries: Quebec, Glengarry, Bathurst and York.

    Being one of only ten congregations in the York Presbytery in 1837 required Rev. MacNaughton to hold mission services in other communities outside of Maple. A new Church was built by August 1844, later named St. Paul's, in the west of Vaughan which meant that Rev. MacNaughton had two churches in his charge.

    In July 1844, Rev. Peter MacNaughton resigned his pastoral charge in Maple and returned to Scotland where he became minister of the parish of Dores. Following Rev. MacNaughton's resignation, the York Presbytery took charge over the Vaughan congregation, sending other ministers and theology students to preach at their Sunday services. The congregation had developed an extremely close bond with their first minister, however, and in 1845 they asked the York Presbytery to send Rev. MacNaughton a letter asking him to return to the charge at Vaughan. In July 1846, Rev, MacNaughton accepted the call and returned to Maple. His stay this time was very brief, however, for in December 1848 he accepted a call to Pickering. Rev. MacNaughton served in Pickering from December 1848 to November 1856 when, for some unknown reason, he severed all connections with the Presbyterian Church. He returned to live out his life in Vaughan and was called to his final reward on 10 May 1878. (Source St. Andrew's Maple Church History)

    Past years in Pickering : sketches of the history of the community
    Wood, William R. (William Robertson)

    In the following year the congregation called as his successor Rev. Peter McNaughton, of Vaughan. Mr. McNaughton was the son of a Perthshire farmer, born in 1797. He was educated at Glasgow University, where he took the degree of M.A. In 1823 he was ordained and inducted into the parish of Doors. Felling it his duty to help supply the need in Canada, he gave up this comfortable living and crossed the Atlantic in 1829. Soon after he was settled in Vaughan, where he preached on the Fourth and Seventh Concessions, both in Gaelic and English. He also preached on the Ninth Concession and at Woodbridge, besides giving occasional service in King and other more distant townships. He was well-known and welcome visitor in many a backwoods cabin.

    Physically, Mr. McNaughton was well-fitted for such a toilsome life, being over six feet in height and powerfully built. But constant overwork tells even on the strongest, and when, in 1848, a call was extended to him by the Pickering congregation, he accepted it as offering some relaxation from the heavy strain. He was settled in Pickering in 1849. Few to-day would regard the Pickering charge of that time as a sinecure, with its two charges over seven miles apart; bit its duties were somewhat lighter than those of Vaughan.

    Mr. McNaughton's pastorate in Pickering was not a long one. With the secularization of the Clergy Reserves in 1854 the Government offered the Church of Scotland ministers annuities of $450 on condition of signing a certain document. The declaration contained in this document he could not conscientiously subscribe, and though all the other ministers ultimately consented he remained firm. It meant the sacrifice of the annuity, and Mr. McNaughton felt constrained to withdraw from the Church he had served all of his life. In 1857 he took up residence on his farm near Brougham, and in 1857 returned to Vaughan, where he built a handsome residence on his property near Maple. He preached frequently and continued to take an active interest in church work. He died in 1878, leaving a widow and two sons and four daughters.

    Mr. McNaughton's pastorate in Pickering was not a
    long one. With the secularization of the Clergy Ee-
    serves in 1854 the Government offered the Church of
    Scotland ministers annuities of $450 on condition of
    signing a certain document. The declaration contained
    in this document he could not conscientiously subscribe,
    and though all the other ministers ultimately consented
    he remained firm. It meant the sacrifice of the annuity,
    and Mr. McNaughton felt constrained to withdraw
    from the Church he had. served all his life. In 1857
    he took up residence on his farm near Brougham, and
    in 1857 returned to Vaughan, where he built a hand-
    some residence on his property near Maple. He
    preached frequently and continued to take an active
    interest in church work.
