May have started in the mid to late 1860s (Evening
Record 1904/01/23 p. 3); was still publishing Jan. 13th,
1872; established by Messrs. John Richmond (from
Colchester) and White, in Windsor; then purchased by
Messrs. McKee and John L. Murdoch who moved the
plant to Sandwich (lot 5, West Bedford St., then lot 8,
West Bedford); John L. Murdoch(k) was
owner/publisher until 1874; then moved back to Windsor
and run as a weekly and daily by James C. Murdoch(k)
and Brothers; at some point was owned by Major John
Lewis; had a conservative political viewpoint.
From Garden Gateway to Canada/Morrison (p. 109110): "One early Essex County paper was The
Dominion, founded by John Richmond, who later sold it
to Solomon White. John Murdoch and Thomas McKee
were the next proprietors, until the latter sold his interest
to Murdoch…. Mr. Murdoch for a time transferred his
paper to Sandwich, but later returned it to Windsor,
where he started the first daily paper ever published in
Windsor, The Daily Dominion. Later, under the
proprietorship of Major John Lewis, the daily was
discontinued and the name changed to The Essex
Times."
