According to "Churchill Family in America", Lemuel Churchill emigrated from Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1762 to Chebogue, Nova Scotia (which later became known as Churchill's Landing). This was immediately after the end of the French and Indian Wars, the result of which was that England took possession of all of Canada. It is reasonable to suspect that English colonists from elsewhere in the Americas would be attracted to new opportunity in a newly peaceful Canadian territory. Lemuel, at about 40 years of age, appears to have been attracted to this chance for a new home.
For the next three generations, this line of Churchills lived in Canada. As you will see, Lemuel's greatgrandson, Nathaniel, returned to what had since become the United States 61 years later. Interestingly, Nathaniel may have thought that he was still in Canada in 1824 rather than northern Maine since the boundary was not officially set until 1842.
What follows is information on Lemuel's line for the next three generations in Canada.
