Census

1825

St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Quebec County, Quebec, Canada; Denis is not listed on this census. I assume that the "Denis Cassin" listed on the map of 1819 of Valcartier is this Denis, son of Michael. Michael probably got a lot for his oldest son when they arrived from Ireland, but possibly Denis did not actually live on the lot until he married in 1829. In the 1831 census , Denis is listed beside Michael, which fits the lots listed on the 1819 map, so I believe the Denis on the map is this Denis and not another Denis Cassin.²

Land*

23 February 1828

St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Quebec County, Quebec, Canada; "Denis Cassin bought from Hon. William Burns 4 lots of land containing 540 arpents for the sum of 340 pounds. This land had belonged to the late Jacob Pozer, before Nat. Berthelot & colleagues, 29 Aug. 1818. William Burns was a member of the Legislative Council."
Comment: This land was across from Majella Murphy's house on Murphy Road. It was expropriated in 1914. Denis paid a ot of money for it. Majella doesn't know if Denis actually lived on this piece of land. At the time lots were going for about 10 pounds. Each lot was about 90 arpents. An arpent is 192 feet long, an acre is 204 feet long, an arpent is about .85 of an acre.⁴

My Notes: My Notes: Denis died three and a half months after writing this will. His wife had died almost twenty years earlier. Joseph was his oldest son, (although there were five daughters born before Joseph). Joseph was twenty-six years old when this will was written. By 1873, Joseph had married a woman in Ontario and relocated there.
From Eric Corrigan: I can say that Mic Corrigan who married Mary Jane Shea in 1872, my great grandfather, bought this lot of land Number 7 as well as the neighboring McNichol’s lot number 6, and these two lots of land were sold by my father and mother in 1974. I do not have the official dates or sale information.. Majela claims that he saw somewhere that when Mic Corrigan bought that lot from the heirs of Denis Cassin that he had to get clearance from some Cassins in or near Ottawa Ontario. From Memory I think there was an Elizabeth Cassin who married a brother of Mic that was living near Ottawa Ont. Follow-up: Patrick Corrigan, brother of Mic (Michael) Corrigan, married Elizabeth Cassin, daughter of Denis - it is possible they relocated to Ottawa but I have not been able to trace them.
Witness: Joseph Henry Cassin

Marriage*

9 January 1832

Bridget O'Rielly; 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??..."^4,5

However, he most likely was not born then as his brother, Thomas was likely born in January 1811 as evidenced by his baptism on 29 Jan 1811. It's possible that Edward was born in 1810, as his gravestone states he was 77. Census records for 1852 and 1861 though would put his birth as 1812.^2,3

Note: This translation is from Bernie Monaghan who states the wife's name is Brennan (parents Thomas Brennan and Elizabeth Boyd). However, the church records state that her name is Lynch (parents Edward James Lynch and Johanna Boyd). The entry in the church records is placed at the end of 1888 and not in the October order. Later burial records and tombstone engraving indicate that her name was Mary Jane Brennan. It is possible since the entry was made by the priest at a later date that he got the names mixed up.¹⁰
