Midhurst Ontario
An extract from this community site gives an account of the origin of Midhurst in Ontario and the role of George Sneath from Midhurst in West Sussex in its founding.

"Midhurst history can be traced back to the early 1800s. Its development can be attributed in part by its proximity to Willow creek which provided the early settlers with a source of power to operate grist and saw mills. Samuel E.Wilmot, a surveyor in 1808 was the first to mention this creek. In 1825 George Oliver and John and Thomas Mair built a saw mill and a grist mill. Four other mills, a soap factory, a distillery, and two hydro plants were later established.

Midhurst as it is now known, was once called Oliver's Mills after the owner of the first saw mill. But in 1864, at the suggestion of George Sneath, who had been born in Midhurst, in the county of Sussex, in southern England, and was the village's first postmaster, Clerk-Treasurer and Justice of the Peace, the community was renamed,to honor himself and the original 16 settlers from Midhurst, England.

We are trying to establish the names of the 16 original settlers.
