  • 1 Remembering Montreal As a Site Of
    1 Remembering Montreal as a Site of Transatlantic Slavery Charmaine A. Nelson Having lived in Montreal for many years, I often visited the historic neighbourhood of Old Montreal. As a scholar who studies Transatlantic Slavery, I found it to be full of ghosts. Old Montreal was Montreal at one time; the part of the city that was first settled by the French starting in the sixteenth century. In 1688 the colonial administrator Jean-Baptiste de Lagny (Sieur des Bringandières) petitioned the governor, Jacques-Réné de Brisay (Marquis de Denonville), to appeal to France for slaves.1 Already established trade routes between New France and several French-held Caribbean islands were cited as evidence of the feasibility of transportation. By the early eighteenth century, slavery continued to grow slowly to service the demand for domestics and field hands of the wealthier classes.2 By 1663, an aggressive new era of colony-building had ensued under King Louis XIV. Although hesitant about the ability of Africans to survive in the Canadian winters, the King was persuaded when local politicians extolled the success of slavery in New England as indicative of the resilience and adaptability of the African population. He gave his assent on 1 May 1689.3 Slavery in New France included the enslavement of people of African and Indigenous descent, a practice that the British continued after conquest with the renaming of the region as Quebec. Transatlantic Slavery transpired over the course of 400 years from the 1400’s to the 1800’s. The standard focus on the tropical or semi-tropical regions, has resulted in a fixation on mono-crop plantation economies where year-round agriculture resulted in the cultivation and exportation of crops like coffee, cotton, and sugar cane.

    Description and Finding Aid JOHN STRACHAN COLLECTION F2021 Prepared by Marion Magee 2010 John Strachan collection JOHN STRACHAN COLLECTION Dates of creation: [1778-1868] Extent: 2 m of textual records 4 artefacts Biographical sketch: John Strachan, Anglican clergyman, bishop, and educator, was born on 12 April 1778 at Aberdeen, Scotland, and died on 1 November 1867 in Toronto, Ontario. He attended Aberdeen Grammar School and King's College, Aberdeen, but turned to teaching after his father died in 1794. In the fall of 1796 Strachan returned to Aberdeen and graduated with an A.M. in March 1797. In 1799 Strachan accepted a teaching position in Upper Canada, arriving at Kingston on 31 December. He began tutoring the children of prominent townspeople, including those of Richard Cartwright. In 1803 Bishop Jacob Mountain ordained Strachan as a deacon, and he became a priest in 1804. He was given the mission at Cornwall, where he soon began taking students and set up a school. In 1807 he married Ann Wood McGill, the widow of Andrew McGill, a member of a prominent Montreal mercantile family, and they had nine children, James McGill, Elizabeth (died in infancy), George Cartwright, Elizabeth Mary, John, Alexander Wood, two daughters who died in infancy, and Agnes (who died at 16). In 1811 Strachan received an honorary D.D. from the University of Aberdeen (in 1829 he received an LL.D. from St Andrews University). The same year, he advised James McGill of Montreal to leave his extensive property to the cause of education; provisions were made that led to the founding of McGill University.

  • Alexander Neil Bethune Alexander Bethune Was Born on August 28, 1800, at Will- Iamstown, Charlottenburg Township, Upper Canada
    Alexander Neil Bethune Alexander Bethune was born on August 28, 1800, at Will- iamstown, Charlottenburg Township, Upper Canada. He was the son of the Reverend John Bethune, a loyalist and Veronique Wadden. Bethune's father,' John, a c.lergyman of the Church of Scot- land (Presbyterian), emigrated to the Carolinas to be 'chaplain of a regiment of Royal Militea. Soon after the outbreak of the American Revolution he was captured yet escaped and made his way to Montreal. In 1787 he moved to Charlottenburg. Here Alexander was born the eighth of nine children. He had his early education in Cornwall under the guidence of Rev. John Strachen. In 1819 he went to York to "place himself under the care and direction of Dr. Strachen, as student of divinity." He en- tered the ministry of the Church of England mainly through the influence of Dr. Strachen and his mother who had a reformed church background. He remained a student until 1823 when he was made a deacon. The following year he was ordained a priest by Bis- hop Jacob Mountain in Quebec City. For the next three years he was in charge of the parish at Grimsby. Then in 1827 he was made incumbent of the Parish of Cobourg. He was later made rector and served there until 1867. Rev. A. N. Bethune married Eliza Jane Crooks, daughter of the Honourable James Crooks of Hamilton. They had 10 children. While in Cobourg, Bethune became first editor of the Church, a weekly paper of church news. He kept this post until 1841 when he resigned.

    29 THE THREE ARCHBISHOPS OF THE HOUSE OF BETHUNE/BEATON! This is a paper which might be about the Reformation in Scotland but it is not. I will not attempt in this paper to give an account of the opposition to the Reformation of Cardinal David Beaton which would require a separate paper. What I desire to do instead is to refer to the three Archbishops of the same family over a period of more than 100 years (1493 to 1603), as a background to some general points about power and influence in a society dominated by clans and families and some thoughts on the inextricable binding together of religion and politics in 16th century Scotland as an illustration of that binding together throughout the whole of Europe from much earlier times through to significantly later times. Scotland and the Scots retain today far more vestiges and survivals of the system of clan or family dependence and support than do most societies in which it occurred. The clan system or family alliances seems to have remained far stronger in Scotland by the 16th century than it was elsewhere in Europe though it was a well known phenomenon everywhere. Accordingly it is worth looking at why the Bethunes were a family of influence and note by the early 16th century. The first authentic reference to the family is found in 1165 about the end of the reign of William the Lion or the beginning of the reign of Alexander II. One Robert de Beton was witness to an important charter by Roger de Quincey then Constable of Scotland to Seyerus de Seton in relation to lands at Tranent.
