Earlier than 1878, James Clark (b. 1837 England) resided with his family in Doe Lake in the Parry Sound district of Ontario, Canada, in fellowship with the exclusive brethren. His descendants were among those in fellowship there thru 1911. By 1901, the Clark family had been joined by Andrew Turnbull who remained there thru 1917, and H.H. Turnbull +1914-1917+. David Bowzer was also a correspondent at Doe Lake in 1908. By 1921, James' grandson James Arthur Clark (1894-1979) was in fellowship with the Regina Meeting Room in Saskatchewan where he remained for the duration of his life.

Meanwhile, there were the following in other areas of the Parry Sound district, either commuters or separate meetings, including correspondents:

  • Depot Harbour, Wasauksing First Nation:
    • Charles E. Myers +1927+
  • Kearney:
    • William Morgan +1901+
    • H. Brathwaite +1905+
    • R. Flavelle +1905+
  • Parry Sound Harbor:
    • George Steele 1879+
  • Trout Creek:
    • Mrs. G.A. Sloman +1901+

In nearby Burk's Falls and Parry Sound, there were also residing brethren that met either as individual meetings or together +1914-1933+. In 1933, those at Parry Sound broke bread at Gordon Bay (now Hamer Bay).

  • Parry Sound:
    • Mrs. C.V. Galna +1894-1923+ resident
    • Mr. & Mrs. Ernest Hubber 1906?/+1911-1933+
    • S.M. Hammer +1933+
  • Burk's Falls:
    • The Misses Clark +1914+
    • Mrs. C. Judd +1917+
    • Mrs. H. Stewart +1917-1933+
    • Mrs. Sherman Brown +1927-1944+

By 1944, four brothers were acting correspondents of the Burk's Falls assembly:

  • Lloyd Judd +1944+
  • Charles W. Judd +1944-1949+
  • Sidney E. Marsden +1944-1966+
  • Albert L. Brown +1944-1973+

In 1975, an open brethren assembly opened in Burk's Falls known as the Gospel Chapel, presumed to have been a remainder of the TW assembly. Clark Kennedy was its singular correspondent from 1977-2001.
