 Schools appear to have begun very early in the 19th century; certainly there were at least three schools in the area when the first school inspection was done in 1844.One school was in the vicinity of the corner and the stone church (St James's Anglican) at Lower Jemseg, a second was somewhere near the supposed division between Upper and Lower just below Stuart and Lori Appt's farm, and the third was on the banks of a little brook that runs into Grand Lake between the Walter Gunter and Turner farms.During the two plus centuries since the Loyalists came, the population has remained relatively stable with new arrivals mixing with the older settlers.
