(Witness) Census1821John 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 4th Concession, only in the 5th. 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 4th Concession and 2o acres on the 5th Concession.4

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.5

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:

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

2nd 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.

3rd 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.

4th 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.

5th 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:
John had two surviving sons, Thomas, aged 26 and James, aged 23 at the time this document was written. Why is James selling his part of the inheritance? We know that in the early 1850s James moved to Guelph, Ontario and bought a hotel. It’s possible that he did not want to farm and hoped to live in a more populated area. It’s also possible that he left Quebec shortly after this document was written. There is a note on the document that states “Expedie a Mr. James O’Neill, 21st January 1850”. The first word is difficult to read but it is possible this was a French term for “sent to”.
Although the first piece of land mentioned in the document is not numbered, I believe it to be Lot #23, the lot that was supposed to be for John’s brother James, who it appears never made it from Ireland. The other piece of land was Lot #22 given to John when he arrived about 1819.6

Residence*1863Loretteville, Quebec County, Quebec, Canada; Thomas built this house (see pictures) and raised his family on the surrounding farm. The land was on the Charles River and is near the present day city of Quebec City. William Patrick, son of Thomas, inherited the house and he in turn willed the house to his son Jack, and he to his children. Four generations of the family lived in the house until 1991 when the house was bought by the city and is being restored as a historical site. The pictures include a recent photograph of the house and artist, Paul Giroux's rendering of the house in earlier times.
This information is from a translation of a Quebec City website: “Along the Saint-Charles River, stands the the O'Neill House, an old farmhouse that borders the Saint-Charles River, is a patrimonial jewel of the Les Saules district. One reaches it by a long alley bordered by tall American ash trees. It is located between motel establishments on Wilfrid-Hamel Boulevard West, just east of O'Neill Avenue.

As of the 18th century, on the northeastern part of the seigneurie of Sillery, farms were established along Little River Road, which connected Quebec to Ancienne-Lorette. The inhabitants would go to sell their products at the Quebec market. After the Conquest of 1739, several of these farms passed to Anglophones. In 1863, Thomas O'Neill, of Irish origin, acquired from Bridget Doblin and John Hearn, a farm on which there was a house, a barn and a stable. His new property extended from the river to the foot of the Sainte-Foy plateau.

O'Neill would have built the current house about 1863. It is a wooden Québécois house, similar to many of the country homes built in the Quebec City surrounding area, with a double-sloped roof and gables.

In the first half of the 20th century, the O’Neill’s become famous horse-trainers. At the south end of their property, Canadian Pacific trains regularly unloaded wild horses from the West. From 1863 to 1991, four generations of O'Neill’s lived on this farm. The property ceased to be a working farm upon the death of William Patrick O’Neill in 1947. As for the Little River Road, it became the national route #2 during the 1920’s and later, in the 1960’s, it became the current Wilfrid-Hamel Boulevard .

The City of Quebec acquired the O'Neill house and property in 1991 and turned it into a recreational park along the Saint-Charles River. The property remains a beautiful reminder of the past, where the farmers and the local village folk shared the many meandering river banks of the St. Charles.”

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.

Never took a drink until the age of 25 on St. Patrick's Day and then became hooked until his death at about age 83. When his grandmother, Bridget, died in 1895, he was given a farm in the eastern part of her land in Little River. Tom was a very strong ploughman and competed in contests in Ontario and Quebec, winning medals - you had to be very strong to compete in those events.3

 Edward Cassin b. Jul 1811, d. 24 Nov 1887
Marriage*9 January 1832Edward Cassin; Basilque Notre-Dame, Montreal, Montreal County, Quebec, Canada; The following is a marriage record for a Edward Cassidy and Bridget Riley. We are not completely sure that this is our Edward Cassin, however, the following points seem to make it plausible:
1. The date is 11 months before they had their first child.
2. Parents of Edward are listed as Michael Cassidy (sic) and Margaret Kelly of Queen's County, Ireland. These are the correct names of the parents of Edward Cassin and they did come from Queen's County. However, in 1832, they were farming in Valcartier, Quebec.
3. Edward Cassin married a Bridget O'Reilly. (Riley is the spelling in the church record.)
4. Edward had a brother named John and the witness is listed as "John Cassidy". However, he signs his name as Cassidy and not Cassin, which is concerning. We compared that signature with one in his Marriage Contract in 1835 and there are some similiarities in the writing.

Translation from the French:
The ninth of January, eight hundred and thirty-two, after the publication of three banns of marriage...between Edward Cassidy, living in this Parish, son of age of Michael Cassidy, farmer, and of Margaret Kelly of Queens County in Ireland on the one part. And of Bridget Riley, living in this Parish, daughter of age of Owen Riley, carpenter, and of Ellen Donhue of the county of Cavan in Ireland on the other part...in the presence of John Cassidy, brother of the groom and Jean Baptiste San??..."5,2

Birth*circa 1810County Cavan, Ulster Province, Ireland; Birthdate is figured on age of death on tombstone (70). However, church records state she was 73 when she died. It is possible that she was born in County Cavan, Ireland as this is where the O'Reilly name often is found.
Also, a marriage record who is believed to be for her, states her parents are from County Cavan.3,4,2

Charles Kack is his other neighbor. Edward and Bridget lived on Lot #853 which was eventually sold to Edward Cassin (their son) and Mary Jane Brennan and remained in her name until about 1918 when it was sold to Fred Kack and in 2000 belongs to his son, Cecil Kack.

It also states that there was a death in the family in the last year (says Jun 9, fever). This column was supposed to be for age & cause of death. They did have a 6 year old son die in February of 1851. They also had a baby born in December, 1851, who appears to have been left off the census.
