Description From Owner:

Pop. 441. In Finch T., Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry Cs., on the Payne R. and C. Rds. 12 & 43, 30 km. NW of Cornwall.
In 1802, Allan McMillan, living in the County of Invemesshire in Scotland, saw a map of Finch T. and chartered a ship, the cost being met by each passenger from the McMillan and Cameron families paying £ 10.
After a 13 -week crossing, the ship reached Montreal in the autumn. The families then walked to the settlements of Kirkhill and Laggan in Lochiel T.
The next spring, four members of each family walked to Finch, selected their lots, built log houses, and then brought their families to their new homes.
Unlike settlers along the St. Lawrence, they received no rations or supplies for three years, and the land clearing was done without horses.
Their group contained no half-pay army officers; what income they raised came from selling potash and oak barrel staves.
(Half-pay officers received half pay as pensions because they had been wounded or because they remained available for recall to active service.)
The community took its name from the township, which was named in honour of Lady Elizabeth Finch, a relative of David Murray, Viscount Stormont of Perth, Scotland.
