Excerpt from Colonial History of the Parish of Mount Carmel as Read in Its Geologic Formations, Records and Traditions
Those who live after us may want to know something about the first settlers of Mount Carmel. Although at the present time less than a century and a half has elapsed since a Colonial charter was granted to form the Ecclesiastical Society of the parish of Mount Carmel, the first settlement dating not more than thirty years earlier, there is now great difficulty in getting authentic records of those who lived here in Colonial days.
The aim of the writer has been to place before the reader, incidents in the lives of men and families, with biographical sketches of character, and, so far as possible, illustrated by photographs of houses still preserved that date back to the first century of settlement. Few individuals now live who can contribute from memory or tradition, events prior to 1800. At that date, seventy years had passed, during which time the conception and carrying out the greater part of the structure which now completes the map of Mount Carmel, had been completed. The question is often asked, "Who was the person that gave the name to the parish?" So far as can be ascertained, satisfactory replies will be given, with, perhaps, some of doubtful issue, leaving a field for future historians to explore.
Aid in the work has been sought and responded to by members of the Mount Carmel Book Club, and to all those credit is duly made and the thanks of the writer extended for their courtesy.
