St. John's United Church in Glen Williams, Ontario, Canada. The Williams family, founders of Glen Williams, supported the Methodist Episcopal church, and Charles and Jacob Williams were among the first trustees of the congregation in the Glen. The other trustees were the minister, Morris Kennedy; a yeoman, Henry Grass; and a carpenter and joiner, George Kennedy (who gave his name to the neighbouring village of Georgetown). In 1840 Benajah Williams put his shaky signature to the deed which sold the church its land, for five shillings. When the new brick church was built in 1903 (was there a little rivalry with their Anglican neighbours, who were putting up their stone church,St. Alban the Martyr Anglican Church, across the river at the same time?), a stone was cut to indicate that the congregation dated back to 1837. The Methodist Episcopal church became part of the Methodist Church in 1884 (which included the Wesleyans), and this in turn helped to form the United Church of Canada in 1925.
