summer/fall 2011 Diary Writer is GGG Grandfather of Audrey Hutchison Fox; photographed (Nov 2010) the diary, at Archives of Ontario. Diary donated by the Bastedo family. John’s parents were John Galbraith & his 1st cousin Margaret Galbraith JOHN GALBRAITH DIARY 1793 – 1799 1834 – 1843 5275-5277 – John writes his thoughts on various parts of the Bible and his religious leanings. Bio #5278 BARNET - Dec 9, 1793 John Galbraith History I was born in Balfron Parish Stirlingshire N Britan about new yearsday or a little before in the year 1768. I came to Barnet about the middle of Sptr (September?) 1785 being then between 16 & 17 years of age. My father had been there before about 17 years and had returned some years before I left Scotland. He had purchased too thousand acres of land in a town called Bamph USA Story, #5279 and 400 acres in Barnet to which he gave the name of Kilfasset. He had on said 400 acres about 40 cleared which togither with his oxen and a cow he had when he left Barnet rented out for three years at the rate of about 40 bushells of wheat per year. He was to give me said farm and Bamph land to his other sons but upon my arival here found that P. Lang to whom he had let Kilfasset had broken by which means the three years rent owen (sic) was chiefly lost. I then was too young and unexperienced to know how to manage affairs and two men I had with me did not do so well as they might. One went off about 6 months after we came to Barnet. The other and I staid to his year was out unacquainted with the work we did not do much of some books and cloth that I had with me. Part of the cloth was stolen and a little after it was confirmed that Bamph was lost it being a New Yorke right of being. Much discouraged and Dr. Clarke from whome father had bot Bamph land came from Scotland and seeing fortune so bad he advised me to go to S Carolina which I did but so long as I had not learned which way father had settled his affairs I could not ? stay there. Barnet Vt, pg 9 �John Galbraith Diary 2 I came home by fortpit and haveing left Barnet in the fall in sptr about the 1st day and arived at Long Cane I think the 30th of Octr. I staid there to apprill the 2d 1788 & being then a mind to go to Canetucky and went to within about 30 miles of Fort Pit but meetting with some difficulty haveing but an old horse and getting my money stole which was about 22 dollars though I got the most of it back I got discouraged from going any farther so I returned to come to Barnet to see if any word had come from Scotland. I had stayed 2 months there and staid 2 more at Long Springs in Penselvania (sic) at Mr. Jamisons a minister. I came to White Creek in the fall and staid to next May and then returned to Barnet. I then did not know what to do as no satisfactory word had come from Scotland. I staid at Robt Twaddels that summer and wrought (worked) for him and in the fall I was advised by Rbts wife Bro to Barnet, pg 10 to work on Kilfasset. I accordingly began though partly against my own mind as about that time a letter came from my father telling that he could by no means geave me what I took with me as he had 3 children since he had come home. However I kept working on Kilfasset and after some time had a letter of Fathers death. I still continued in uncertainty what to do but last spring I had a letter from Brother William informing me that Mother was married and about the middle of Jully this year 1793 William arived in Barnet from Scotland being the first relation I had seen for almost eight years. At his arrival here I was determined to do as I would wish to have been done by and I thought that the best and most honnorable way was to reffer the whole to the men with whome my father had entrusted his affairs which was Esqr J Leary (?) and R G Twadle (?) and Andrew Leekie (?) and William Stivnson. We met at William Stivnsons about the end of agust 1793 the whole of the above mentioned being present. Their opinion was as follows. #5282, pg 11 They advised and geave it as their oppinion that the farm should be equaly divided between William and me and that each of us should pay too hundred fifty? dollars which was one hundred to each of the children at home to be paid on their arivel here and for what work I had done on the farm any compensation was got for Bamph I was to have it. It is uncertain whither any money will be got or not and be as it will hope that it shant break my part nor yet geave me much trouble. A little after I sold my half to Robt Twadle he is to pay the 250 dollars and to geave me 400 fiefty of which I now owe him. I am to have intrest for the rest to paid which is the princapal of all I have. Considering what fortune I have had in Barnet it is very contrary to my ? inclineation to stay here for in this place I have had very little comfort. Soul, pg 12 �John Galbraith Diary 3 Dec 10th 1793 I am at presant in a good deal of difficulty to know which way to steer sometimes.

My hearts desire is to be derected by him in this respect who has promised that he will be with his people in troble and that he will instruct and teach the way that they should go. In his strength I therefore will endeavour to pour out my heart before him in beseeching him to direct to what most suitable for his glory and my good seeing that they are so conected and that I may have a comfortable thro bearing in this world which will soon be at an end. Oh that he would conduct me with his (counsil) while here and (with his words) bring me to his glory. amen Shooting, pg 13 1793 Friday last being the 6th day of dec 1793 the was a shooting for a gun at Robt Twadles.

I do therefore propose to set apart a day for fasting and calling upon his name by prayer and supplication that he would not remember former sins against me but that his his tender marcies may prevent me speedily. I desire to look to him that he would enable me to come before him in a right way and manner seeing that the prayers of the wicked is an abomination to the lord but to his own he is a friend that sticket closer than a brother. In this work I pray that I may be kept from secret faults and presumptious sins. Though sin rage yet shall not reighn in any of his people �John Galbraith Diary 4 says he by his servant sin shall not have dominion over you for ye are not under the law but under grace.

It came with (alex) Gilchrist. In it was inclosed a letter of advices from the revd Mr. Mitchel who was then in his last sickness. The letter itself seems to be lost but the substance of it was as follows. Balfron 1786 Sep: Dear John: As I was not at home when you called at my house I will drop a line to you in testimony of my regard for you. We are all passengers to another world and in a little time will certainly be there as you are gone from this kingdom to America. The holy spirit calls us to pass the time of our sojurning here in fear – god sent his only son unto the world that whosoever beliveth on him should not parish. This salvation is offered to you who is a young sinner of Adams race. Mary sat at Jesus feet and heard his words so do you and he will make you wise unto salvation. Do not neglect to have faimly worship performed either by your self or some one with you. The Lord threatens to pour his fury upon the heathen and upon the families that call not on his name. Be very tender of the lords day and exhort all under you or about you to do the same. Be careful to avoide bad company both men and weoman. Be kind to all under you. Be diligent as to your worldly affairs. Let W. Gilfillands sons see this letter and I wish you to read it often yourself. James Mitchell N.B.

How various are my thoughts I being at present in a way of not doing much business but I had partly resolved in submission to providence to settle myself in Lymon though in all likelyhood I cannot advance my temporal interest there so quick as in some other places . I cannot see it my duty to relinquish the church so long as I see a probility of haveing food and clothing covenient. Thogh the land in Lyman be too dollars a acre(?) it is supposed to be equal to any in this country for fertility of soil. Archbald Stuart said that it equals if not exceeds any he saw in his trevals between Barnet and S Carolena – my fancy would sometimes represenent that if once winter was over and I had made a pitch there I would feel better than at presant . Some times I am troubled by perplexing thoughts how to cary on. The psalmse gives an advice in such cases – cast thou thy burden on the Lord and he shall sustain thee and says another inspired writer when a mans ways pleast the Lord he maketh even his enemies at pace with him. When I (seen) every circumstance I am apt to run into extrames(?) either to be lifted up with pride or cast down with despair not rightly viewing the hand of providence towards me. I am too ready when matters go against me to grow impotent. I hope that it will be my attainment for the future neither to be too much lifted up or cast down with any thing in this presant world but to wait with a humble dependence on the providence of God in the way of industry for a comfortable throubearing in the world. It is very unlike a Christian when his spirit flags. With his estate the chief business of this life should be to act for Gods glory and it is God that worketh in us to will and to do of his good pleasure. My designs may be frusterate a twenty ways and though I should attain to what I am apt to promise myself contentment in with out his blessing I would be as far from true comfort as ever as it is God that gives power to get wealth so it is him that can give cont(ent)ment and I believe that they that truly seek him shall not want anything that is for their real good and in the end they will be made to acknolage he has done all things well though he witholds from his own some times what they would wish for. Yet in the way of his providance his own shall not want for their real �John Galbraith Diary 6 good and his presance with his own can make a prison more desirable than a palace is to the wicked.

Some place names can’t be found anymore and if they are, they are added following along in brackets as a re a few notes on interest. J.G. also used next to no punctuation so a dash has been added to break the sentence – and of course if the ship was rolling and a person is seasick and trying to write with a dip pen there are smudges, which sometimes just could not be deciphered at all – here, a blank is used. The script is impossibly tiny. Some of the pages in this journal have been penciled over later with miscellaneous and additional family notes. These are probably made by J.G. Mountford’s youngest daughter Sarah Elizabeth, who also kept a small notebook of mostly local deaths. Aforementioned notebook has been transcribed as a separate document for the Kent OGS. The original material was sent to the Kent County Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society by John Green Mountford’s Great Granddaughter, Martha Louis Arnold Sheerin, of Indian River, Michigan, in April of 2016.
