 Catherine Holton b. 10 Sep 1852, d. 19 Jul 1921
Marriage*11 October 1892Catherine Holton; St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier Catholic Church, St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Quebec County, Quebec, Canada; John lost his first wife, Elizabeth, in 1889. At this time, they had 4 children under the age of seven. As John lived on the old farm, and was quite a skilled carpenter, he was in demand to build barns and houses and at times he would be absent from home the greater part of the week, and he sould have someone to take care of the children in his absence. Whatever the arrangement was, it did not suit Father McGratty who was parish priest at time. So Father McGratty hitched his horse to the buggy and drove down to John Holton's to see if he couldn't do a little matchmaking. On his arrival there, he addressed himself to Catherine, the oldest daughter, still unmarried, about becoming the wife of John Corrigan, and to be a good mother to his children. She agreed to this arrangement as Father McGratty insisted it appeared to be the will of God in her regard. On the following weekend, so the story goes, Father McGratty drove up to see John Corrigan and suggested he remarry. Mr. Corrigan thought it was a good idea but added that he didn't think he could find a suitable wife at his advancing age who was willing to care for his family. The good priest explained the steps he had taken and the marriage took place on the 11th of October, 1892.
"On the 11th day of October 1892, whereas the publication of three banns of marriage having been made at the prone of the parochial mass of St. Gabriel de Valcartier, between John Corrigan, widower of the late Elizabeth Loughran of this parish, on the one part; and Catherine Holton, daughter of age of John Holton, farmer of this parish and Catherine Sweeney, also of this parish on the other part. Having discovered no other impediment to this marriage, we the undersigned parish priest, have received their mutual consent to marriage and have given them the nuptial benediction in the presence of Patrick Cassin, the groom's friend and Michael Holton the bride's brother, who with friends and the bride have signed. The groom declared he could not sign. This act was duly read.

Quebec Archives Microfilm #4M01-1604



Before me the undersigned Notary Public duly admitted, commissioned and sworn residing at the City of Quebec in the Province of Quebec in the Dominion of Canada and the witnesses hereinafter denominated and qualified, personally came and appeared Mr. Lawrence Corrigan residing in the Parish of Valcartier, in the County of Quebec, Farmer, who being bodily sick but having the full and perfect enjoyment of all and every his intellectual and mental faculties as appeared unto the said Notary and witnesses by his discourse and proposals, declared unto me the said Notary in presence of the said witnesses that considering the certainty of death and the uncertainty of the hour thereof and being desirous of arranging his temporal affairs in order to be better prepared to leave this world whenever it may please Almighty God to call him home, he desired to make this his last solemn will and testament which he required me the said Notary to receive and write down and which he named and dictated unto said Notary in presence of the said witnesses in manner and form following, viz.:

Firstly and principally, I recommend my soul to Almighty God beseeching Him thro' the merits of Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior to pardon my manifold sins and receive me into His Heavenly Kingdom.

Secondly, I do will and ordain that as soon as possible after my decease all my just debts be paid and satisfied and wrongs by me done, if any, scrupulously repaired by my Testamentary Executor hereinafter appointed and named in the discretion and prudence of whom I rely for my funeral ceremonials, as also for services and masses for the repose of my soul.

Thirdly, I do hereby give and bequeath unto John Corrigan, one of my sons, Farmer, my Lot of land situate and being in the said Parish of Valcartier being number Ten of the Fifth Range on the North West side of River Jacques Cartier containing threes acres in breadth by thirty acres in depth, bounded in front by the said River and in the rear by unconceded lands, on the one side by Patrick Corrigan and on the other side by myself, together with the house and other buildings thereon erected circumstances and dependencies, under condition that he shall build a stable for his brother Lawrence on Lot number Eight or Nine at the option of the latter, whenever required to do so, and finish the same ready for use.

Fourthly, I do hereby give and bequeath unto Lawrence Corrigan, another of my sons, my Lots of Land situate and being in the said Parish of Valcartier being numbers Eight and Nine of the said Fifth Range on the North West side of the River Jacques Cartier, and containing three acres in front by thirty acres in depth, bounded in front by the said River and in rear by the said unconceded Lands, on one side by the Lot herein above firstly described and on the other side by Joseph Harris the said two Lots being contiguous to each other, together with the House and other buildings thereon erected, circumstances and dependencies.

Fifthly, I do hereby give and bequeath unto Michael Corrigan, another of my sons, the sum of fifty pounds to be paid to him on demand by my universal residuary legatee hereinafter named.

Sixthly, I do hereby give and bequeath unto Catherine Corrigan, my youngest daughter, the sum of twenty five pounds to be paid to her on demand after the decease of my present wife, her mother.

Seventhly, I do hereby give and bequeath unto Jessie Corrigan, another of my daughters, spouse of John Neil, the sum of ten pounds to be paid to her on demand after my decease, by my said universal residuary legatee.

Eighthly, I do hereby give and bequeath unto Dame Isabella Bonnalie my beloved wife all and every the remainder of my property of which I may die possessed, whatever nature and value the same may be and wheresoever the same may be situated and found, for her to enjoy, use and dispose thereof from the day of my decease as she may think proper, hereby naming her my universal residuary legatee.

Ninthly, I do will and ordain that until such time as my two sons will cultivate their respective Lots of Land above-mentioned on their own respective behalf and that they continue to live as at present in common that the manure to be derived from the stock in common shall be equally divided on said Lands.

Tenthly, I do hereby name and appoint as the joint Executors of my present will and testament the persons of Messrs. Patrick Cassin and James McCartney both of the said Parish of Valcartier, Farmers, into the hands of whom I do hereby divest and disseize myself of all my said property according to law.

Eleventhly, I do hereby cancel and revoke all other wills and codicils by me made before this present one which alone I consider contains my true intentions and last will and desire.

It was thus done, dictated and named by the said Testator unto the said Notary in presence of the said Patrick Cassin and James McCartney and these presents having been duly read unto the said Testator by John Childs the said Notary in presence of the said witnesses, he declared that he well heard and understood the same and persisted therein.

Address*28 February 1881St. Andrew's, Quebec County, Quebec, Canada; John took over the family farm of Lawrence and Isabella Corrigan.4 
Marriage*28 February 1881Elizabeth Loughren; St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Quebec County, Quebec, Canada; "On the 28th day of February 1881, whereas the dispensation of two banns of marriage have been granted by the Reverend Jean Baptiste Bolduc ( ad live depatatu dated the 23rd of the present month), Whereas the publication of the third bann has been made at the prone of the parochial mass of this parish, between John Corrigan, farmer, son of age of the late Lawrence Corrigan and of Isabella Bonnali of this parish on the one part; and Elizabeth Loughran, daughter of age of James Loughran and of Winifred McLaughlin, also of this parish, on the other part; no impediment having been discovered, we the undersigned parish priest have received their mutual consent to marriage and have given them the nuptial benediction in the presence of Arthur Flanagan, friend of the bridegroom, and Mary Loughran, sister of the bride who with the bride have signed with us.

Elizabeth Loughren John A. Flanagan Eliza Annie Loughren
J. O'Farrel, priest."5 
(Witness) Death28 August 1889Elizabeth Loughren; St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Quebec County, Quebec, Canada6 
Occupation*John was a skilled carpenter.4 
Marriage*11 October 1892Catherine Holton; St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier Catholic Church, St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Quebec County, Quebec, Canada; John lost his first wife, Elizabeth, in 1889. At this time, they had 4 children under the age of seven. As John lived on the old farm, and was quite a skilled carpenter, he was in demand to build barns and houses and at times he would be absent from home the greater part of the week, and he sould have someone to take care of the children in his absence. Whatever the arrangement was, it did not suit Father McGratty who was parish priest at time. So Father McGratty hitched his horse to the buggy and drove down to John Holton's to see if he couldn't do a little matchmaking. On his arrival there, he addressed himself to Catherine, the oldest daughter, still unmarried, about becoming the wife of John Corrigan, and to be a good mother to his children. She agreed to this arrangement as Father McGratty insisted it appeared to be the will of God in her regard. On the following weekend, so the story goes, Father McGratty drove up to see John Corrigan and suggested he remarry. Mr. Corrigan thought it was a good idea but added that he didn't think he could find a suitable wife at his advancing age who was willing to care for his family. The good priest explained the steps he had taken and the marriage took place on the 11th of October, 1892.
"On the 11th day of October 1892, whereas the publication of three banns of marriage having been made at the prone of the parochial mass of St. Gabriel de Valcartier, between John Corrigan, widower of the late Elizabeth Loughran of this parish, on the one part; and Catherine Holton, daughter of age of John Holton, farmer of this parish and Catherine Sweeney, also of this parish on the other part. Having discovered no other impediment to this marriage, we the undersigned parish priest, have received their mutual consent to marriage and have given them the nuptial benediction in the presence of Patrick Cassin, the groom's friend and Michael Holton the bride's brother, who with friends and the bride have signed. The groom declared he could not sign. This act was duly read.

Catherine Holton Patrick Cassin Margaret Ann Culleton
Michael Holton

H. McGratty, priest."7,4,8 
Note*A story is told that in the late 1800's, John Corrigan received a visit from one of the Benalli family who wished to settle the Benalli estate, but John reckoning that he was offering too small a portion of the estate would not sign any of the domcuments he had with him. On his departure the Benalli gentleman said: "I'll leave a mark to prove I was here." So he scored one of the panes of glass in the kitchen window. This mark remained there until the house was destroyed by fire in the 1960's. This mark was made from a diamond ring which he wore on his finger.9

Isabella used to watch Lawrence as he waited for those who wished to travel and would throw his overcoat over the horse and she thought that a man that kind to animals would make a wonderful husband.

Migration*between 1853 and 1854Wisconsin, United States; It appears that John and his wife, Ellen Mooney came to Wisconsin about 1854. Although the 1900 census for his son, William states that they came in 1852, it does not appear that this is correct based on the birthdates and places of his children. Also, I believe that he came with his brother, Michael and it is stated in the same 1900 census that he came in 1854. I also believe that Ellen's parents and siblings came at the same time as they are listed in the 1860 census. There is a listing in the "Old Settlers Club of Ozaukee County" that lists John C. Corrigan, born 1823 as having settled in 1853.8,9,3

Event-Misc15 October 1884Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, United States; Newspaper item: "Our old neighbor John C. CORRIGAN Esq. paid our village a visit last Sunday. Mr. C. is now a citizen of Milwaukee engaged in the coal and wood trade. The Republicans have nominated him for County Treasurer of Milwaukee County and as far as hard work for the ticket is concerned, no better or more active man could have been selected. He will help the ticket more than any other man on it, if work can do it by a man who knows all the ropes to be pulled. The opposing candidate on the Democratic ticket is Mr. E. CARY of the 3d ward, who will be elected with the others on it by from three to five thousand majority. We are sorry for Mr. CORRIGAN, but then it cannot be helped; his friends put him up at the wrong time."11 
Event-Misc*10 December 1884Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, United States; "The Port Washington Advertiser has this to say of one of our former citizens and neighbors:

"Mr. John C. CORRIGAN, recently of the town of Mequon in this county, is one of the most fortunate politicians we know of. Only about two years ago he moved to Milwaukee and went into the coal and wood business in that city, and at the late election he was elected county treasurer of Milwaukee county, by about 1,000 majority, an office which brings $4,500 per year. He was nominated and elected by the republicans and has for his bondsmen such men as ex-governor LUDINGTON, Ed. SANDERSON, and other wealthy men of that city. Personally we are on the best of terms with Mr. CORRIGAN and as it becomes inevitable that a republican was to enjoy the emoluments of the office we know of no man more deserving of it than he is. He is an indefatigable worker in anything he undertakes, whether in business or politics and true to his friends in every particular. The republicans showed their wisdom in nominating him, and if they had shown the same prudence in selecting their nominee for president matters might have turned out different with them. Although we differ in politics we don't blame him to feel proud of his endorsement."
