Julia Duffy

Birth*

between 1786 and 1789

County Dublin, Leinster Province, Ireland; Place of birth is on her tombstone.
Research on birthdate:
Julia Duffy - died 25 aug 1871. Gravestone and burial record states she was 85 years of age. This would put birthdate between Aug. 1785 and Aug. 1786.
In Jan. 1852, the census lists her as 65, which implies birthdate as 1786.
In April 1861, she is 73 - so birthdate would be 1788. I searched many records and could not find her in the 1871 census - I found all of her children and she was not listed with them or in Valcartier or in Ancienne Lorette where the burial record says she died. I suspect she was there but left off the census.
My best guess is that she was born 1786, however, that would make her 46 when she had her last child.^3,4

Immigration

circa April 1818

John O'Neill; The following excerpt from a land petition written on 11 May 1819 states: "That your petitioner left Ireland and arrived in this Country in the last spring with the view of obtaining lands and settling as a farmer to which business he had been brought up in his native country..."⁶

(Witness) Census

1821

John O'Neill; St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Quebec County, Quebec, Canada; There was a Census taken for Valcartier in 1821 and John is listed as living on Concession #4 with 2 houses (this possibly means a house and a barn). This is somewhat confusing because in previous and future documents, there is no evidence that he lived in the 4^th Concession, only in the 5^th. The Census goes on to say that John has 1 male child, 2 female children, and 3 male servants. These servants are likely men that he has hired to help him clear the land. He owns a horse, 4 oxen, 6 cows and 4 cows and he has now cleared 30 acres on the 4^th Concession and 2o acres on the 5^th Concession.⁷

(Witness) Census

1824

John O'Neill; St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Quebec County, Quebec, Canada; "John Oneil", Family #50, age 33, 3 males (assume this to be John, and sons, Thomas and James) and 5 females in his house (assume this to be Julia, and three daughters, Elizabeth, Bridget and Sarah - who is the other female?), settlement date 1818, has 87 arpents (almost 87 acres) under cultivation (one of the largest number in the settlement). Includes: 30 minots of oats, 4 minots of peas, 60 minots of potatoes, 2 arpents sown in turnips, 16 arpents in timothy, 1/2 arpent each in hemp and flax. He has 3 cows, 2 pigs, and 1 gelding. He produced 100 minots of wheat, 400 minots of potatoes, 200 minots of turnips, 1000 bundles of hay and clover, 4 minots of carrots, and 500 lbs. of butter. He has peas in production but they are still green and have not been harvested.⁸

Last Will and Probate of John O’Neill
From: Quebec Archives
Holographic Will Collection

On the thirteenth day of October one thousand eight hundred and forty one, I, John O’Neil undersigned being sick and weak in body but of sound mind, memory, and understanding and not knowing when it may please God to call me out of this world do make constituted and ordain this my last will and Testament in manner and form following to wit:

1^st I bequeath my soul to Almighty God hoping that he will receive in his great mercy and forgive me my sins.

2^nd I leave my body to the earth from whence it was taken hoping that my loving wife and children will give me a Christian burial.

3^rd I leave all my immoveable property to my two sons Thomas and James O’Neil to be enjoyed together by them in common as long as they shall live together and if it happens that they separate, the landed property will be divided equally between them according to its value by two or three arbitrators; provided that my dear wife Judith Duffy be decently kept and supported by them as long as she shall choose to live with them, or if she wishes to live by herself, they will provide the following support for her as long as she lives, viz:

They will give her two acres of land upon which they will build a house and a stable; provide her with a cow which must be replaced in case of death and furnish fother or forage for her cow and cultivate her piece of ground. Moreover they will give her each of them yearly the sum of three pounds currency.

4^th I leave all my stock of cattle and all my moveable property to my said two sons equally, on conditions that they will give to my daughter Sera O’Neil two cows and the foal I have at present at the time of her marriage and likewise two cows to each of my other daughters, Margaret and Catharine O’Neil at the time of their marriage; and if any of them do not marry I hope they will live in peace with their Brothers who will be obliged to furnish them with a home in case of sickness and take care of them accordingly.

5^th My will is that the eight pounds which are due to John Wilson shall be paid on demand. I recommend all my children to be obedient and loving to their mother and agreeable among themselves and my eldest son Thomas is to be considered the conductor of affairs after my death and I recommend my other children to be submissive to him.

The above, I do declare to be my last will and testament which I have heard read and have signed in presence of the witness viz the Reverend H. Paisley, Ferdinand Murphy and James Donohoe who have also signed with me.

Done and passed in my dwelling home at Valcartier on the day and year aforesaid two words raized are null, two words in the margin are good.

“John O’Neill”
“H. Paisley, priest”
“Ferdinand Murphy”
“James Donohoe”
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Transcribed by Patricia Balkcom, March 2011

My notes: Burial records, three weeks after the will was written, state that John was 48 years old. It appears that he was ill for sometime – since he had written the will three weeks before he died and at a relatively young age. Did he have consumption (tuberculosis)? When he died he left Julia, his wife, and seven surviving children, aged 11 through 27. The two eldest children, Elizabeth (married to John Wilson), and Bridget (married to Thomas Cassin) are not mentioned in the will presumably because they had already married and had husbands to care for them. The two boys, Thomas and James, who were left the land, were 21 and 18 when their father died. James sold his portion of the land to Thomas, five years later, in 1846. We have found James in Guelph, Ontario records by 1855. It is possible that he left Quebec after the land sale to find another type of work. Thomas, kept the land until 1864, he, his wife (Bridget Martin) and children and his mother, Julia, had relocated to Little River in 1863.

My Notes:
The O’Neill’s moved to the farm at Little River shortly before they sold all of their land through this transaction. The Valcartier land had been in the family for over 40 years. It can only be assumed that Thomas believed the land at Little River would be more fertile and more productive than the Valcartier land.

Burial*

27 August 1871

St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier Catholic Church, St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Quebec County, Quebec, Canada; Copy of the church burial record for Julia O'Neill Duffy.

Translation from French:
"The twenty seventh of August, one thousand and eight hundred and seventy one. We, the undersigned priest, Vicar of Saint Ambroise have interred in the cemetery of St. Gabriel de Valcartier the body of Julia Duffy, widow of John O'Neill, deceased at Ancienne Lorette, the twenty fifth of the current month, aged eighty five years.
Present: Thomas O'Neill and Claude Guerin
Guil. Giroux, Priest
From Gerry Neville: " John O'Neill and Judith Duffy are buried in Valcartier. A few years ago a Mr. Griffin and a Mr. Conway, while visiting the cemetery, found the O'Neill monument thrown over the bank at the cemetery along with a number of other old broken monuments. I know that they retrieved the O'Neill monument that was split in two pieces. Mr. Conway told me that on the monument it gave John O'Neill's place of birth as County Kildare and Judith Duffy's place of birth as County Dublin."
Don Michaud has said that he has seen to it that both of the stones have been repaired and replaced in the cemetery. However, he states that the date of Julia's death on the stone states 1872 - will research whether the church records are wrong or if the stone is wrong. The stone states: "Sacred to the memory of Julia Duffy who died 25 August 1872, Native of County Dublin, Ireland, And Relict of the Late John O'Neill, Aged 85 years."

Note: The gravestone states she died in 1872 which appears to wrong based on the order of the burial records in the church records.^18,4,20

My Notes: This is an interesting will. Judith leaves her main possessions to a 6 year old grand-daughter (Bridget Margaret Corrigan). In the same year as this will was written, Bridget’s parents, James Corrigan and Ann Navin, leave Valcartier and move to Wisconsin. Four years later, in the 1871 Valcartier census, Bridget is living with her grandmother, Sarah Duffy, and she is not listed in the 1870 Wisconsin census with her parents. Apparently, Bridget stayed to live with her grandmother and did not go to Wisconsin (this seems unusual for a 6 year old child). Sarah Duffy did not die 19 December 1882, fifteen years after this will was written. It appears that, her only child, Ann Navin, who is mentioned in the will, predeceased her sometime between 1880 and 1882 when James Corrigan remarried. Granddaughter, Bridget Margaret is not listed in the 1881 Valcartier census and at this time I have not found either a death or marriage certificate for her. It is possible that there Sarah might have made a later will after her daughter died. Research into looking for the probate of this will would help to answer this question and also possibly give information as to what happened to Bridget Margaret.⁸

Notes by Patricia Balkcom: Notes by Patricia Balkcom: In her first will, 15 years earlier, Sarah left her estate to her sister-in-law, Ann Navin and Ann’s children. Ann died about 1881 before this second will was written. Sarah now leaves all of her estate to her two nieces (Bridget Margaret Corrigan – daughter of Ann Navin) and Catherine O’Neill Kindelan (daughter of Judith Duffy, sister to Sarah). It is obvious that Sarah was especially close to Bridget and that as a child, Bridget lived with Sarah for a period of time, even though her family had moved to Wisconsin. It is also obvious that Sarah and her husband, the late John Navin, were very religious, as they left money to the church for masses and Sarah stipulated that Bridget must remain in the church to receive her inheritance. Sarah died 2 months after writing this will.¹⁰
