Research Note

From Lanark Genealogy Karen Prytula: In 1842, William Moore lived beside the Hughes. 1850s Robert and Pierce Hughes take ownership over Conc 10 Lot 14 which William Moore had farmed prior to his death. William’s son Thomas Moore and the other church men fought to preserve the CHURCH, built ca1845 on the Moore/Hughes land and its BURYING ground also on this lot during the late 1850s. A new ‘cedar chapel’ was going to be built in the 1860s where Laidley Cemetery is now.
