Pre-St Jean Baptiste church

jmcfingon — 26 Jan 2006 12:02:41 GMT

The St Jean Baptiste church in L'Orignal was established in 1836. But people have lived in that area since before that time. So where did they get married or baptized before then? I've checked in the Marriage registers of Upper Canada, Eastern and Ottawa districts. No luck. The families I'm searching for were all catholics. One is John McKinnon who married Angélique Lalonde in the St Jean Baptiste church in 1841. John was born about 1818 in Caledonia Township so where would he have been baptized? He also had siblings born before him. One is Roderick.

St Amand

LaniMitchell51 — 26 Nov 2008 3:29:32 GMT

I am researching the children and descendants of Philippe St Amand - b.1855 Quebec, lived in Renfrew county, Ontario where several of his kids were born. Particularly interested in his son Joseph Peter Francis St Amand,born 28 Jan 1888 Fort Coulonge QC, married Mary Hanson in Montreal. Mary died giving birth and Joseph Francis had to leave his three daughters in St Patrick`s Orphanage, Montreal. He returned to the North Bay area in Ontario where he had been living. My best friend is the grand daughter of Joseph Francis and would dearly love to connect with his family. I am doing her genealogy to help her find a path to these folk. All help most appreciated, especially in finding old photographs, the burial place of Joseph Francis St Amand ( North Bay or Pembroke?) and any living descendants.

St-Jean-Baptiste in L'Orignal look-up

jimuncc3 — 17 Oct 2008 1:51:46 GMT

I would be extremely grateful if someone could check the birth records at St-Jean-Baptiste in L'Orignal for a Fred, son of Adeline Hubert, who was born probably January 12, 1866, but possibly as late as 1873. I don't know the name of Fred's father; it is possible he was born out of wedlock. It is also possible his father was James Fraser, who married Adeline April 8, 1872. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me with my biggest brick wall.

Francis Johnston and Frances Johnston

peggyhesse1 — 2 Jan 2006 5:08:50 GMT

I think I might be the great great grandaughter of Francis and Frances Johnston. Also known as Frank and Fannie. My Great Grandfather was also named Archibald (there are certainly alot of Archies in this family) son of Francis and Frances. He was born in Prescott on Dec 24/1840 and moved to Harvey Township which is north of Peterboro around 184l. He married Mary Jane Wallace Aug 9th 1865.Although there is no mention of Francis and Frances in that area, I can't imagine Archie moving there by himself when he was about a year old.
They had a daughter Frances born around 1867
Walter b. 1868
Robert b. 1870
Frederick b. 1873
Arnold Alvin b. 1875
Herbert b. 1880
I think there were a few more who probably died as infants.
I havent been able to place any native blood in this branch of the family but you only have to look at some of the pictures to know its there somewhere.
Alvin was my Grandfather who married Susannah Reber in 1904. They had a number of children,twins William and Marge being the youngest. William was my father.
Alvin died in a sanitarium in Toronto from TB around 1922 shortly after the twins were born.
Archibald and Mary Jane Johnston are buried in Sandy Lake Cemetery in Harvey Township.

GLENBURN Cemetery - Origin of Name

CliffJohnston51 — 25 Aug 2008 7:37:47 GMT

Glenburn Cemetery is where many of my kin are buried. I've been curious for many years as to the origin of the name Glenburn. I suspected Scotland and searched old family areas there with no success. Then I posted a query on an Irish site - instant success! Glenburn is a small stream in a valley in Magherafelt, Co. Derry, NORTHERN IRELAND. Just north of Magherafelt is another familiar name that was borrowed and used in Prescott Co. - Curran.

Families that settled in Prescott Co. and that were from the Magherafelt area include: Anderson, Derby, Johnston, & Wylie.

Here is a link to a map that I've posted. It gives the location of the original Glenburn:

FRANCOIS LACELLE/LASALLE & MARIE JOSEPHTE CARRIERE/CAILLE - East Hawkesbury

I am seeking descendants of FRANCOIS LACELLE/LASELLE (1822-1882) & his wife, MARIE JOSEPHTE (a.k.a. Mary Josephine)CARRIERE/CAILLE (1823-1890) who had resided in East Hawkesbury, Prescott County.

Their known family were as follows: Levi Lacelle (b. 1847); Marie Josette Lacelle (b.1850); Julianne Lacelle (b.1852); Margaret Lacelle (b.1854..later Mrs. Elias Carkner); Matilda Lacelle (b.1857...Mrs. Pierre Desormeaux); Orson Lacelle (b.1860); Harriet Anne Lacelle (b. 1863...later Mrs. James Golden) and Peter Lacelle (b. 1865).

I am also seeking photographs of Francois & Marie Josephte Lacelle and any of their children as I suspect that some of their descendants may have these in their possessions to share.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

With thanks,

Looking for Scottish River

jmcfingon — 19 Dec 2005 3:40:14 GMT

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a place that was called Scotish River. I'm not even sure if it was in Ontario or not. In a parish register of Saint Jean Baptist in l'Orignal, I found that some of my ancestors lived in a place called Scottish River. I can't find it on any old maps. I would be grateful for any help in locating this place. It may not even have been an official name. My ancestors lived there around the 1840's
Thank you in advance for your attention.

JOHNSTON, Francis, Robert, Archibald: Update

CliffJohnston51 — 28 Jun 2008 3:32:44 GMT

Y-DNA test results have come back confirming the suspected relationship of 3 Johnston brothers: Francis "Frank" (b. 1805), Robert "Red Robin" (b. 1808) and Archibald "Archie" (b. 1815), all born in Ireland. I call them the "Wee Three" with affection as all were taller than average with my gggrandfather, Red Robin, coming in at 6'-5" (and red hair).

According to oral family history their father may have been born in Scotland. We do not know his name. According to old and ancient Johnston/e family genealogy provided by a newfound cousin to whom we were linked by the Y-DNA tests we belong to the Johnstons in Poldean and some of our ancestors were members of the Old Gang of Wamphray (Scots of Danish Viking ancestry - Poldean is a 2,000 acre holding which left the family in 1742. It is some 4-5 miles south of Moffatt, Scotland). Our Johnston/e family left Ireland in the mid-1820's. One or more died on the crossing to Upper Canada, possibly including their father. A married sister stayed behind in Ireland with her husband. The 3 surviving brothers settled near what is now Pendleton, Ontario, Canada. They were very close to other families in the Pendleton area, such as Anderson, Wylie and Derby who came from the Magherafeldt area in Co. Derry, and it is suspected that they too may have come from the same locale.

In 1906 or thereabouts, my great grandfather, James "Jim" Johnston, moved his family from Pendleton to Johnston Road in Clarence Twp., Russell Co.. Although the barn and house burned down the land is still owned by one of his granddaughters.

The 1822 Assessment Roll indicates that George Johnson [sic] held the farm that Francis later bought in 1832. Could George have been kin and his surname miss-spelled? Anyone out there know? After 1832 George disappears. Anyone know what happened to him? In 1835 Thomas Johnson [sic] appears on the property and is listed as "owner"; however, land records indicate otherwise - Francis owned the land and was listed on the Roll too. Who then was Thomas Johnson, and where did he go? Another error with the surname? Probably.

2 of my Dad's aunts visited Ireland to find kin in the 1920's. None were found living. One aunt kept a detailed journal which included the tombstone inscriptions of our kin - they did find where they were buried and visited their graves. Unfortunately today no one knows where the journal is or where in Ireland the sisters visited.

I have been told that in Ireland the given name "Francis" was considered to be a Roman Catholic name and as such not in common use among Protestant Johnston/e families. Our ancestors were Presbyterian/Methodist. It is possible that the father of the Wee Three married a Roman Catholic woman. We do not know, but interestingly a couple of other Y-DNA cousins in the States with whom we have not been able to make a paper connection yet also have the name "Francis" used by their Protestant Irish ancestors.

If anyone has any information on our Wee Three or recognizes something about them from their research I'd appreciate hearing from you. I've been beating my head against those old Irish and Canadian bricks for too long (since 1979) - something has to give, and I hope that it isn't me... ;-)

Here is a link to some photographs of our ancestors, including my gggrandfather & gggrandmother:

Fraser-Hubert family problem?

jimuncc3 — 17 Jan 2008 10:57:12 GMT

My grandfather, Fred Fraser (sometimes spelled Frazier) was born in Canada in 1866, probably in L’Orignal. Fred’s parents were James and Olivine Fraser (Frazier). James (whose parents were Samuel Fraser and Margaret/ Marguerite Wilson) married Adeline/Adélaide Hubert (her parents were Olivier Hubert and Marie Lorraine Forget) at St-Jean-Baptiste in L’Orignal on April 8, 1872. Both Olivier Hubert and Marie Forget were also members of this church, so I suspect the Hubert family had resided there a long time. I believe the Fraser family may not have been from L’Orignal, however (possibly St. Johns, or Scotland). I had always assumed that James was Fred’s son, but note that Fred was born in 1866, while James and Olivine weren’t married until 1872. Further, I have government documents from the 1900’s in which Fred is listed as “my son” by Olivine, and as “your [Olivine’s] son” by James. I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that either Fred was the illegitimate son of James and Olivine, or (and I think this more likely) that Olivine was previously married, and bore Fred, before she married James. I can not find a birth certificate for Fred (but I believe birth registration I believe did not start in Ontario until 1869. Nor can I find a marriage certificate/document for Olivine other than that with James. If Fred was not James’ son, did he adopt him, and is that why Fred carried the name “Fraser”? I have hit a brick wall. If anyone can offer any look-ups, or provide any information or even thoughts on my dilemma, I would appreciate it tremendously.

Poaps family from Osgoode, Ontario

jpoaps — 27 Nov 2004 1:06:47 GMT

I am seeking to find info on the Papst surname Johan Adam Papst and his wife Eva Maria Hamm lived in Schoharie New York in the Mohawk Valley. They were forced off their land as they wanted to stay loyal to Britain. So they came
to Canada and settled in the Cornwall, Ontario area (Osnabruck Center). I am having difficulty with one of my Papst relatives I am trying to find proof that William Poapst my GG Grandfather was the older son of Rudolph
Poapst who was married to Ann Wood. Rudolph had a piece of land West 1/2 of Lot 12, Concession 6, Osnabruck Center that was purchased by John Adam Papst in 1822. John Adam worked the land until 1831 when he sold it to Rudolph Papst the one who is married to Ann Wood. I believe that Rudolph and Ann were married in Osnabruck Center. I have Ronnie Poapst who still resides in that area following up and trying to get some photos of this. Since I last spoke with Ronnie I have found out that the land that was owned by Rudolph has since become the Eamon farm. Funny thing is the John Adam bought the farm from a Eaton. Sometime between 1834-1835 Rudolph sold the land to Ira Hawley and along with the OTTO and WOOD families pulled up their stakes and moved to Osgoode hoping for a better life I guess. I believe William was born in Osnabruck Center but I am trying search that out now. I don't have the marriage date of William and Cynthia as of yet and I cannot find it at all. I do have a marriage ertificate for one of William Poapst children (Christine) and it shows William and Cynthia on that. If there is anyone that is searching the same names I would appreciate your help.

Samuel Brock / Sarah Ralph

hkmanifold — 5 Aug 2007 6:57:38 GMT

I am looking for information about the family of Samuel Brock and Sarah Ralph who lived in around Hawkesbury, L'Orignal, Prescott in the mid 1800's. They had 6 children: Elizabeth Stuart, Sergeant Brock, James Brock, Phoebe McGibbon, Ella Lendrum and William Brock.

Frazier

jdoliver2 — 23 Jul 2007 6:26:07 GMT

My GGF, James Frazier, married Adeline Hubert on April 8, 1872, at St. John the Baptist in L'Orignal. The marriage documents states that his parents were Samuel Fraser (deceased at time of wedding) and Marguerite Wilson Fraser, "both of this parish". They had two children, Fred (with a birth date of somewhere between 1869 and 1872) and Olivine Louise, born Feb 20, 1876, both in L'Orignal as best I can determine. Unfortunately, I can find no record of where James was born, what the actual birth date of Fred was, or anything about his parents Samuel and Marguerite, despite their probably having lived their lives in L'Orignal. If anyone can offer any look-ups or information about any of these Frazier/Fraser relatives, I would be most appreciative.

TimWilson20 — 23 Jul 2007 10:44:30 GMT

I'm searching for a marriage record of Louis Michaud and Sara Ouellette married 15 Oct. 1868 in L'Orignal.
Sara was the daughter of Gabriel Ouellette and Marie Catherine LaCelle. I don't know who Louis' parents were and I'm hoping that a marriage record will divulge that information. I have his unconfirmed date of birth being about 1803. These folks are my direct ancestors.
Thank you.

1881 Plantagenet Census

Harrigan94 — 16 Nov 2001 5:00:33 GMT

I have new info on the DUGGAN family I have been trying to locate. According to the 1881 census, all living together I show Mary age 90, Hannah age 50, Alice age 26, William age 23, Maggie age 19, Edward age 16, Michael, age 12, and Patrick S. age 4. I have no name on the father who either left or died sometime between 1877 and 1881. Maggie married George Stephen McDonald sometime after 1881. They may have had a son, Lem Mathew McDonald in 1883 in Canada. The family rumor is that they may have moved to California a few years later. Thanks, Mac

Cheese factory photo

KeithSly46 — 20 Apr 2007 1:08:42 GMT

I am hoping to contact some one who can help identify a photograph of a cheese factory which may have been in the Hawkesbury area of Prescott County. The cheesemaker and several men and boys are standing in front of a two story building which had been refitted to be a cheese factory. I believe the cheesemaker is Joseph Simes (b. 1866)who was from Leeds County; in the 1911 census he and his family are listed in Hawkesbury Twp., Prescott Co. Anyone interested in this puzzle and would like to see a copy of the photo can contact me at kasly@sympatico.ca.

Last, the son of Joseph Normand II and Chantal Seguin, again, married a Deschamps. Thank you for any help.

"C" Johnston, b. 1826

Cliff. Johnston — 2 Jan 2006 4:32:26 GMT

I was given the following information a few years ago and did not follow up on it as I wasn't sure if Francis Johnston was connected to my Robert "Red Robin" Johnston; however, some interesting questions have arisen lately.

"C. Johnston: b. June 12, 1826; baptised February 4, 1827; Lot 21, Conc. 9, Plantagenet."

At that time George Johnson [sic] owned the farm designated in the records. In 1832 his farm was bought by Francis Johnston whose wife was Frances. They had lived on the farm though for a previously undetermined number of years, so "C" may have been their child.

Any and all information that you may have on "C" Johnston will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Northern Irish immigrants 1820

Pamela — 1 Aug 2003 6:20:13 GMT

I'm hoping for some help from a local historian. I understand that Peter Robinson settled a group of Irish Catholics from the southern part of Ireland in the Prescott County area in about 1823-24. I'm wondering whether there was another organized settlement of Ulster Protestants in the years immediately preceeding the Robinson group. I have an ancestor from Armagh, Richard Allen, who settled near L'Orignal apparently around 1820 and I'm trying to ferret out the circumstances of his arrival and settlement. I have scanned C Thomas' book "History of the Counties of Argenteiul, Quebec & Prescott, Ontario" but, unfortunately, did not find it helpful for this particular question. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could provide some information or suggest some alternative publications on immigration to Prescott in the very early 1820s. Thanks!

MCDONALD boys, Prescott Co., Plantagenet North

SMcdon9686 — 24 Jan 2007 6:41:29 GMT

I am looking for the final resting place of two of the McDonald boys that probably died in North Plantagenet. Steven was born after 1851 and died before 1861. Matthew R.V. about 1856 and died before 1871. In 1851, the family lived in Charlottenburgh, Glengarry Co. In 1861 till 1879, the family was in North Plantagenet on Lot 24 of the 6th concession. One or both of the boys may have been buried on the family farm if that was legal or accepted at the time. These two boys are the only part of this family I have been unable to locate.

Catholic baptisms in 1831-32 in Prescott

lb4077 — 19 Jan 2007 6:41:07 GMT

I have recently found out that my gguncle was born in Prescott, Ontario from his death certificate.
My ancestors landed at Quebec c.1830 and had one child in Quebec and one in Prescott before boating down the St. Lawrence to the U.S. and finally settling in Lennox and Addington Co. Ontario in 1849.
I noticed from the Prescott website that no Catholic Churches are listed for this time period. Was there an early Catholic Mission in this area or where might one Baptize a child in this time period.
Any help would be appreciated.

SCOTT Family>Glasgow, Scotland>Prescott, Ontario, Canada

Lyn McIntosh-Sherwood — 15 Mar 2004 5:50:15 GMT

Help! I'm at a standstill on my research on my husband's SCOTT line.
Information is very sketchy and I don't know where to go to do the research
necessary. I am trying to figure out a way to find out who John SCOTT, Sr.'s
parents are so I can research this family in Glasgow.

We are looking for John SCOTT, Sr., b. Glasgow, Scotland, d. before 1796 (in
Revolutionary War?), no wife listed, children: David, m. Henrietta, died at
age 21, 8 weeks after marriage, William, b. c. 1733, Glasgow, Scotland, d.
1821, Charleville, Augusta, Ontario, Canada, m. Helchy KNAPP, Sgt. Francis,
b. c. 1740, Glasgow, Scotland, d. 1841, m. Helchy KNAPP, m. 12/24/1781
(don't know if this is a mistake or if when William died she then married
his brother), John, Jr. UEL, b. c. 1751, Scotland, d. before 1806, and Neal,
b. c. 1753.

John SCOTT, Jr., UEL, (son of John SCOTT, Sr.) no wife listed, children:
Jonathan, m. Anne CAMPBELL, Lewis, m. Elsa, Margaret, b. 6/8/1800, Augusta,
Ontario, Canada, m. Orrin Charles SHERWOOD, 2/3/1819, d. 2/1/1853 (this is
my husband's ancestor), and John, b. c. 1805, m. Mary CAMERON. Almost all
of Orrin and Margaret's children moved to the States (Ogle County, Illinois)
in the mid 1850's.

I would appreciate any suggestions of sites where I can research this
family. So many sites that are mentioned contain records that are too
recent to be of help.

Thanks!
