	John Strachan - LoveToKnow 1911
		JOHN STRACHAN (1778-1867), first bishop of Toronto, son of John Strachan and Elizabeth Finlayson his wife, was born at Aberdeen, Scotland, on the 12th of April 1778.
		Strachan had no difficulty in convincing Lord Bathurst of the justice of his claims on all essential matters, the most important of which was the exclusive right of the Church of England in Canada to the Clergy Reserves.
		Strachan at once took steps to found another university which should be completely under the control of the Episcopal Church, hence the establishment of Trinity University, which was opened in 1852.

		Strachan was untiringly active in ministering to the sick, arranging for burials, and seeking to prevent panic.

	PlanetPapers - John Strachan: the first bishop of Toronto, a holy man or a holy terror?
		John Strachan’s harmful intentions are evident in his supporting of the monopolization of the clergy reserves, controlling of non-British immigration, lobbying strictly for Anglican education in schools, his manipulation of the government and his poor reputation amongst the public.
		Strachan wrote, “It was deemed wise to check emigration from the United States for a time until the passions on both sides were a little cooled, and until a sort of foundation or nucleus could be formed of emigrants from the mother country” (Henderson b 67).
		John Strachan’s corrupt objectives were evident in his supporting of the monopolization of the clergy reserves, controlling of non-British immigration, lobbying strictly for Anglican education in schools, his manipulation of the government and his poor reputation amongst the public.

	John Strachan
		Strachan was untried, a new arrival from the town of Cornwall, but as rector of the church he stepped into the breach, going out to the American warship to represent the citizens of York.
		Strachan's will power and personal presence was so strong that it was later said that it was difficult to tell from the interview which of the two men was the conquered and which the conqueror.
		Strachan lost, and George O'Kill Stuart resigned his position as headmaster of the Home District Grammar School in York (forerunner of Jarvis Collegiate) to become the Anglican minister in Kingston.

	The Curse of Glencoe
		It was John Strachan of Thornton who purchased the Lenturk lands and baronetcy from John Strachan of Lenturk (also spelt Lynturk, but not “LENTURL” as is shown in the letter).
		John Strachan of Lenturk was indicted for the slaughter of Alexander Seytoun of Maldrum and John King of Bourty, and for besieging Kildrummy Castle, the great fortress of the Earls of Mar. For this John (of Lenturk) and his kinsmen, William, Adam and Alexander Strachan, were outlawed.
		As for the lands of the Barony of Lenturk, acquired by the Strachans of Thornton, they were sold 50 years later by Alexander Strachan of Thornton, to Alexander Irving and his wife Agnete Forbes, a sale that presumably consolidated the paramountcy of the Forbes in that area.

	CCHeritage - John Strachan
		Strachan’s activities from the first day of the nine-teenth century until his death at his age eighty-nine in 1867 were centred in Ontario.
		Strachan, a born organizer, was not so much an original thinker as a synthesizer of others’ best ideas, a man who informed himself fully before forming a judgement that, for him, was henceforth etched in stone.
		Strachan was a mediocre sermonizer, but he published some ninety pamphlets of speeches and homilies and one arithmetic textbook.

	Poetry by John Strachan - Introduction
		Strachan’s motives, as always, were not entirely pure, since he was also seeking to protect the interests of the Crown, of Anglicanism, of Canada, and of the great fur trading families—all causes in which he had a personal as well as an ideological stake.
		Strachan pays particular attention to the "deadly strife" created by alcohol, because it was this vice of all those bestowed by Europeans that had the most devastating effects upon the Native community, contributing to the demise of its most eloquent and capable leaders, including John Logan and Joseph Brant.
		Strachan saw himself as a soldier in real and spiritual battles, and he fought fearlessly for the causes closest to his heart, buoyed always by his belief that he was in the right.

	John Strachan, "verses...1802"
		Among Strachan's pupils at Kingston were Andrew Stuart, the son of the local Church of England clergyman, and John Beverley Robinson, a future attorney general of Upper Canada.
		Strachan "fervently held to the idea of an educated aristocracy," writes David Flint in John Strachan: Pastor and Politician, and "[n]ot once did he loose sight of the fact that he was training the future leaders of the country" (7, 29).
		Strachan's record of the examination that surrounded the recitation of his "Verses" at Kingston in September, 1802 indicates that the poem's climactic urgings on behalf of "instruction" and "Science" were part of a carefully orchestrated performance.

	Groupe CNW \| ONTARIO HERITAGE TRUST \| Ontario Heritage Trust unveils provincial plaque to commemorate Cornwall Grammar ...

		Strachan began a private school in his own home, that was moved to a purpose-built facility in 1806.
