  20. ↑ Lazurus sold 50 acres to Ann Gilbert who was married to the late John
    D Gilbert, Postmaster of Adolphustown. Lazarus received the sum of One
    Hundred sixty six pounds and fifteen shillings from Ann.
  21. ↑ Lazarus was commissioned to build the Church of England (St. Pauls),
    1822-23, in the town of Adolphustown. Though a Methodist he was
    elected warden. On January 6, 1823 at the Adolphustown town meeting
    Thomas William Esq., church warden, appointed by the clergyman, and
    Lazarus Gilbert, town warden appointed by the town meeting to
    represent the Church of England. Other officers were a town clerk,
    constable, two overseers of the poor, three pound-masters, two fence
    viewers, four overseers of the highway, two assessors, a collector and
    two church wardens.

    The wardens represented the inhabitants of the township or parish and
    could sue, prosecute, or defend in all presentations, indictments or
    actions for the inhabitants. "It must be borne in mind that
    Adolphustown was recognized as the most important important center of
    Upper Canada at the time, and the representatives of this district
    were men of high standing whose counsels carried great weight.
    Kingston had grown to be a town of a hundred or more houses, was a
    military and naval center, but Adolphustown took the lead in all
    matters pertaining to the administration of the civil affairs of the
    province. "

    On this slender foundation of these first town officials was built our
    Municipal Act of today.
    The people elected their own local government from 1792 to 1849, even
    though in 1791 the Constitutional Act gave the authority to the Court
    of Quarter Sessions of the peace, comprised of Justices to rule the
    townships. In 1840 the Justices for Fredericksburgh and Adolphustown
    met at Charter's Inn (now the Scales home, at Gilberts corner of
    County Rd. #8) and were comprised of James Fraser, David Thorpe,
    Samuel Dorland, Samuel Casey, Jacob Detlor, and William Sills.

  23. ↑ This deed was registered as #177. Lazarus and Helen sold 175 acres ,
    Con 1 Lot 26 Twp. of Adolphustown, to Thomas Fraser Gibb for the sum
    of eight hundred pounds.
