Note*It is possible that Ellen Murphy was an O'Brien (sometimes written as Brien) by birth. This would indicate that she had been married twice (first to a Murphy and second to Lawrence Cullen). Supporting evidence: 1. It states in Moses (son of Ellen) Cullen's marriage record (Notre-Dame, Quebec City, 1843) that James O'Brien is his uncle - this would seem to indicate that James O'Brien is related to the Cullens (could be married to a Cullen), or to the Murphys (could be married to the Murphys). If Ellen's maiden name was Ellen O'Brien, then it is possible that James O'Brien is her brother, and thus the uncle of Moses. 2. Baptismal records for twins Lawrence and James Colon indicate that the children are sons of Lawrence Colon (sic) , farmer of Sainte-Catherine-de-Fossambault and of Helena O'Brien.

Note by Patricia Balkcom: Ellen outlived her husband. She died 14 years later in 1870. Her surviving eight children are all mentioned in the will.6 
(Witness) Death30 September 1856Lawrence Cullen; Ste-Catherine-de-la-Jacques-Cartier, Portneuf County, Quebec, Canada; "...aged 65 yrs, husband of Mary McCarty..."
Note: The burial record is not listed chronogically in the church records but rather was written at the back of the book as if it had been forgotten earlier. The wife "Mary McCarty" is believed to be an error and it should say Ellen Murphy.7 
(Witness) Death22 November 1867Patrick Cullen; Pittsfield, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, United States; "Patrick Cullen, male, married, age 41, died of hemorrhage of the lungs, in Pittsfield, harness maker, born Canada. I do not know what happened to the children after Patrick's death, they are not listed with Margaret Lang Cullen in the 1870 Census.8 
(Witness) Death5 March 1868Lawrence Cullen; Pittsfield, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, United States; I have no proof this is Lawrence who was the son of Lawrence Cullen and Eleanor Murphy, however, another son Patrick, who lists his parents as Lawrence and Ellen Cullen was also living in Pittsfield. The birth years for the two are also correct.8

Anecdote*7 March 1829St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Quebec County, Quebec, Canada; In testimony before the Road Commisioners:
Mr. Ferdinand Murphy, of Valcartier, having been called in, said: -
I belong to the Province in the South of Ireland. I came to this country in October 1821, with my sister. The badness of the times, high rent of land, and low price of produce which I found ruining me, and the excitement in the minds of different parts of the country, and the favourable reports I heard of Canada, induced my sister and myself to try our fortunes in this different part of the hemisphere. We had, when we arrived here, twenty-one shillings. I stayed in town about a fortnight without earning a shilling; I then went to Valcartier, quite in the bush, about three miles from the first settlement. I had taken a job for cutting down and chopping up five acres of land, at a rate of three pounds per arpent. I got an advance of provisions, clothing and other things I wanted, amounting to about half the whole for my undertaking. I completed my job previous to the spring, and cleared off the land after the snow was from the ground, and received the whole sum of Fifteen Pounds. I supported myself entirely with that during the winter, and had a balance due me in the spring. On my arrival in the bush I built a Log Hut about 12 or 14 feet square, high enough for a man to stand in, with a hole for the smoke, a a floor of split logs smoothed, and left a place without any floor for the fire. There being no road for the said distance of three miles, I had to carry my provisions on my back, sometimes over head in snow. My provisions consisted principally in biscuit, potatoes and pork, and sometimes I had tea and sugar. In the spring, as soon as the land was cleared, I planted 22 bushels of potatoes, which gave me in the fall, twenty-three bushels for every one sown; it was one of the luckiest crops I had. Having no family to support when my crop was in the ground, and having fenced in the ground which I planted, I went to different parts of the country amongst my friends for about two months: I was at no expense among them. In the fall I returned to gather my crop, and in that winter I took a job of £100 at St. Giles, which I accomplished with three men. I did not make much by that: I had not over £8 left to myself. In the spring, I came to Quebec, and obtained from the Nuns of the Hôtel-Dieu, a lot of 262 acres of land in the Fief St. Ignace on the River Jacques Cartier: I went upon it at the end of next winter, chopped down about five acres upon it, which I cleared in the spring, and planted eighty bushels of potatoes, which gave me upwards of 600 bushels. I had also sown about one bushel of oats, which being eaten up by the squirrels, left me very little. I took another land from the Jesuit's Estates two years ago, consisting of about 90 acres. I have now about 56 acres of land cleared by myself and labourers which I employed when I had money to pay them. My crop this year is the worst I ever had, owing to the wetness of the spring which spoiled my barn. I planted 52 bushels of potatoes, and had only 552; I sowed 11 bushels of oats, and expect to have 100 bushels. I also expect to have 1000 bundles of hay. My crop in 1827 was 946 bushels of potatoes, the produce of 47 bushels; 100 bundles of oats, the produce of about 10 bushels; and 600 or 700 bundles of hay. Since I begun, I had the following hired men; Tow men for one month at six dollars, and fed during last year. In the preceding year I had a man and his wife for one month, the man at four dollars, and his wife at two dollars. Previously, I had not the means of paying labour. I am quite satisfied of this country. I love Ireland, but I will never go and live there, because the people are not unanimous. Out of the earnings from my farm I have bought furniture, and stock consisting of 7 head of cattle, and 1 horse, and expect to be able to buy two head of cattle in the spring, and to add to the little comforts of my house. The great difficulty for a new settler is the provisions for the first winter, suitable clothing, a good axe, and a grindstone among a few, to keep the axe in order, and Roads when they have anything to bring to market; as to provisions for one's self, a man can carry them on his back, but when they have any thing to export, the want of a Road is a great grievance.

What would be the effect of a loan made by Government to new poor settlers to enable them to get over the difficulties of the first year?-
If there was a settlement of not less than 8 or 10 families settled upon good lands, and they were determined to pay the loan, and of an industrious disposition, and maintain their health, a loan might be useful to them if it was not great, and they might refund it. Men who are not very wise, borrow money in hopes punctually to repay it, but find when the time comes that they cannot repay it.

What do you consider the most economical and most advantageous mode of feeding a new settler in this Province?-
Provided Potatoes are not a too great a distance, for they are a very heavy article, and can be got at a cheap rate, they are very good. Many people speak of Potatoes and Salt Fish as a cheap mode of feeding a working man; I can say confidently from my own experience, that the cheapest food for a working man are potatoes, pork and pea soup; the pork is used principally for the purpose of giving a meat flavour to the vegetable; besides this food is much stronger than potatoes or fish. But I do not think that a man can live upon this alone for any stretch; he must have tea or gruel; it is cheaper, and is a change; milk would be better, but he is not yet able to buy or feed a cow.

How long does it take an able-bodied Irishman to learn the use of the Axe?-
From three to six months. It is with us as it is with trades; one man learns much sooner than another. I chopped as well at the end of three months as I do now, and I would not turn my back in chopping to any American born with an Axe in his hand.5 
AnecdoteFerdinand Murphy lived in the "Rocks" on the 5th Concession, three miles from his nearest neighbor. His sister came to live with him, and neither married. He was a great potato farmer.6
