An early church built in the most accessible part of what was known as the Lower Settlement of the East 

 River of Pictou. The congregation was organized about the year 1788, by the Rev. James McGregor, D.D., who 

 was for many years the only minister in the county of Pictou. He had the whole of Pictou and parts of the 

 neighbouring counties for his parish. After the arrival of fellow workers, and " the parish " divided, he confined 

 his labours, more particularly, to the district of which this church was the centre. The cLiurch, built nearly oppo- 

 site where Stellarton is, on the lower part of the East River, was called James Church after the founder. The 

 town of New Glasgow grew up two miles further down the river where the congregation built the new James 

 Church; and in this church the original tokens were used up to a few years ago There were evidently two or 

 three different issues of the tokens struck from the original die, as they occur in various thicknesses. Dr. 

 McGregor was the first Antiburgher minister in Nova Scotia.

Thf first Minister of this congregation was the Rev. David Smith who settled over it in 1771. After the death 

 of Mr. Smith the Rev. John Brown was called to the pastorate and entered upon the work in 1795. Up to the 

 striking of this token, in 1808, a supply of these made for the Truro church were used. Evidences of this are visible 

 on this token as it was struck over an old one, bearing the name of Mr. Cock, Truro. Traces of this inscription 

 may be seen on all existing specimens of Mr. Brown's token.

 consisting cf Maitland, Noel and smaller settlements, called Mr. Crow to be their pastor. Towards the close of his 

 ministry the congregation split, the larger part continuing under Mr. Crow. After his death the congregation 

 became a Congregational Church. Only one or two of these tokens are known, as the supply on hand was 

 destroyed when the parsonage was burnt in 1857.
