Mr. Cock was the first regularly appointed Presbyterian minister who remained inthe province. He arrived 

 in 1770 and returning to Scotland in 1771, he came out again in 1772, bringing with him a supply of the tokens 

 and the die with which to strike fresh supplies when the old ones were worn out. This is the oldest token of 

 any vised in Canadian churches.

1 have not been able to ascertain with certainty what the letters " P. E." stand for, but the above rendering 

 seems the most probable. 



136. Upper Settlement. 



Obv. U. S. I P. E. for U(pper) S(ettlement) P(ictou) E(ast) within a circle of fine regular rays occupying the 

 corners. The letters are regular.

Two churches on the Upper Settlement of East River of Pictou were among the earhest organized by Dr. 

 McGregor. One on the East Branch now known as St. Paul's, and the other on the West Branch now Hopewell. 

 These remained under the charge of Dr. McGregor until 1824, when they were assigned à pastor to themselves, 

 the Rev. Angus McGillivray. A third church was afterwards erected at Churchville. But whether one of these 

 tokens was used in each church or the second variety introduced into both churches after the stock of the older 

 ones had been worn out, I have not been able to learn.
