This story is ai special inter- est ta many Statesman readers as the Elford family, wbo mi- grated frorn England araund 1826, settled in Pilchard Town, now known as Sauina village, Darlirîgton Township, Durhami County.

"There wcren't many settiers In the area in those days," she recalled. When she was eight, her fa- ther, Isaac Elford, an English immigrant, maved hie amnily ta Darllngton township, forth of Bowmanville. There she et- tended school until she was 15. After tbis she went ta wark as a domestie. On Jan 3rd her home was the scene ai a gala b!rthday party. Attendmng were four sisters mnd three brothers wlth a cambined age ai 622 years.

Mu-s. Hogarth bas Feven sans, Henry, George, William, Daniel, John, Stephen and Septimus. It is believed that wbcn she came she was accom- panied by ber brothers Anthony and Stephen Washington. "On the saine baat there came with theiiran-so England Ambrose Elford, wba wife was Elizabeth Mysneer, and tb&ir familv cansisting ai Mary, Eli- zabeth Ann, Jane and Isaac. Tbey took a hornestead at a settiement then called Pilchard Town, later named Solina in the township ai Daulingtan.

Others went iartber west-John ta London, William, and later George, ta Tilsonburg, and Septimus ta Exeter. Daniel and Stephen however mau-ied tne aforemen- tioned Elizabeth and Jane El- fard, and they settled at Sauina. This intîmate relationship be- twecn the Eliord and Hogarth families resulted in a close iniendsbip whicb bas cantinued ta the present time. "There are now living at Oakwood, 'and near Manilla. eight brothers and sisters ai the family ai Isaac Elford, wbo is mentianed above. They bave a remarkabie record for lange- vity.

Some Chureh HlStorr Another interesting chapter in the history of these twa familles i the Solina district ig re.cordcd in the annals o! the church lite af thc district. In 1850, Peter Elford deeded a quarter of an acre ai his tarin land, bordeuing on the 6th con- cession oaf Darlington township, for the building of a white trame church. For a hundrcd yearà it was knawn as the little Advent Cburch on the bull juat west ai Sauina village. In 19510, the building was sold and mov- ed ta Nelson street in Bow- manville, where it became the headquarters of what was called the Baptist Mission. Built at the halfway mark af the 19th century, the pioneer families of -the district, includ- mng those af Daniel and Stephen Hogarth, were instrumental in having the church cstablishcd. its raIe as a place of worsbip in Sauina and the outlymng dis- trict was preceded only by the erection af the Christian Bible Church at Eldad ini 1849. But the Advent church outlived its predecessor in longevity as a single church unit. In 1863, El- dad Christian Bible Church un- ited with the Methodist Church, and today it is pcrpetuatcd in the Eldad United Cburch. We are grateful ta Mr. Ho- garth for placing at aur dis- posal these ald records af his family, which was promInent in the pioncer days af the district.
