  • Searching for Greens at the Time of Peter Robinson
    Searching for Greens at the Time of Peter Robinson By Alison Hare, CG Language that appears precise and transparent can actually mask meaning. Unlocking the truth in perplexing documents requires scrupulous attention to the full range of genealogical standards. wo references to a son, two distinct clues to his identity. John Green's petition for land in Upper Canada's Huntley Township was bursting with genealogical promise. Clearly worded and legibly penned, it plantedT a figurative finger firmly on the map, marking the spot where the son would be found. Auguring equally well foran open-and-shut identification, the petition disclosed that John's son had immigrated to Canada with a well-known and well-documented group of settlers. The petition's failure to mention the son's name seemed a minor inconvenience. Thus begins a memorable lesson about how historical documents can mislead and baffle researchers, especially when they fail to probe deeply. THE PROBLEM The scene is set "at the time" of the Peter Robinson settlers. 1 Brought to Canada fromCounty Cork, Ireland, in 1823, these571 men, women, and children have been known ever since by the name of the official who supervised their relocation. Acting for the British government, the Honorable Peter Robinson 2 arranged free passage, provisions, and land for the settlers. The liberally funded program offered escape from poverty, famine, and civil disturbances in Ireland. Though he wanted to, John Green was unable to accompany the group. "His son," however, came out "at that time" to Canada. John later immigrated on his own and on 9 July 1836 petitioned to purchase one hundred acres ofland in Huntley Township, a property of interest to him because it lay "in the immediate vicinity of his sons location."3 What was the son's name? © Alison Hare, co; 80 Valley Ridge Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K2E 7W4; [email protected].

  • 2.8 Steamboats and Canals on the Ottawa River
    CULTURAL HERITAGE 105 2.8 Steamboats and Canals on the Ottawa River The Ottawa River was once the only way to access the Upper Ottawa Valley, to travel between Montreal and Ottawa and beyond. It was a viable option for military and commercial access to the Great Lakes. Before roads and even railways were built, the Ottawa River was literally the one and only highway, carrying merchandise, people, and mail in both directions. From Montreal, there were two Figure 2.63 Canoe on the River, 1841 main routes inland: the St. Lawrence – Great Lakes system, and the Ottawa River – Lake Nipissing – Georgian Bay to Upper Great Lakes route (Canadian Public Works Association 113). At first, canoes plied the waters of the Ottawa, carrying First Nations Peoples, explorers and voyageurs into the interior of the land. But the development of the lumber industry in the Ottawa Valley and the related settlement in its upper reaches soon required larger boats. These Source : Philip John Bainbrigge/Library and Archives Canada/C-011815 boats faced logistical challenges hoisting themselves up or around the many sections of chutes and rapids they encountered along the Ottawa. A series of canals, initially built for military purposes, facilitated the transportation of goods and people along the river. Figure 2.64 Steamer, “Duchess of York” Steamboats appeared on the Ottawa River during the construction of these canals, enabling a more reliable and efficient transportation system. The canals only circumvented certain rapids. Others, such as the Chaudiere Falls, still represent an Canada/C-003949 obstacle to navigation. Steamboats were therefore confined to particular sections of the river.

  • 5.6 the History of the Upper Canada Side of the Ottawa River Between Shirley’S Bay to the East and the Madawaska River to the West
    OTTAWA RIVER COMMUNITY HERITAGE 227 5.6 The History of the Upper Canada Side of the Ottawa River Between Shirley’s Bay to the East and the Madawaska River to the West Bob Sherrif This section outlines local history by township, including the March, Torbolton and Fitzroy Townships. March Township This township was named after the Earl of March, son of the ill‐fated Duke of Richmond. The end of the War of 1812 found many military men more or less at loose ends here in Canada. Whitehall found it more expedient to encourage the Officers to remain here in Canada by offering land grants upon which they could retire and, at the same time, further the settlement of this new land. There were already many military men settled in and around Perth and Richmond, so Sir John Colborne promoted the settlement in what became March Township. The first person to settle here was Captain John Benning Monk, late of the 97th Regiment, and a veteran of the Napoleonic Wars. Captain Monk was born in Windsor, Nova Scotia. His beautiful stone residence situated on the Ottawa shore was called “Beechmont”. The second settler on the March township shoreline was Hamnet Kirkes Pinhey, born in Plymouth, England, in 1784. He became a wealthy businessman in England with his own ships trading on the European continent. These connections made him an excellent candidate to become an agent for the British Government. He served as a blockade runner and, due to his proficiency in both French and German, he was able to move about and carry dispatches to England’s Prussian allies.
