I was interested in your references to the Colclough family. I
am a descendant of Dudley Colclough. Although possibly too much
information, here is what I know of their emigration to Canada
Dudley is a son of "Sir" Vesey Colclough by Mary Connors, the
daughter of the gate keeper at Duffry Hall. She had 3 children
by Vesey Dudley, Vesey and Margaret. Margaret emigrated to
New Brunswick, The younger brother Vesey,was a Warrant Officer
in the Royal Navy and settled in County Cork on his
retirement. In 1809 while staying with the Beauchamp
Colcloughs, at Kildavin Dudley met and married their friend
Elizabeth, grand-daughter of the colourful John Eaton of Powers
Court, Goresbridge, who in one night's card-playing had lost all
his worldly possessions to one of the Loftus family. Elizabeth's
father was Beauchamp's legal advisor, James Eaton. Dudley was
married in the Church of Ireland and his children brought up as
Protestants. Around 1818 Dudley decided to emigrate to Canada
with his wife and two children, Frances born at Kildavin in 1810
and John Dudley Eaton at Wexford in the following year.
Beauchamp Colcloughs uncle was Sir Guy Carlton, Lord
Dorchester, British Governor of the province of Quebec 1786
96. Lord Dorchester died in 1808. Beauchamp emigrated to
Canada in 1819 and settled his family initially in Riviere du
Loup.
On May 20 1820 Brig Cornet, under the command of Capt Anderson
arrived in Quebec from Dublin with Mrs Colclough and family.
Dudley had presumably preceded her. He and his family stayed at
Adams Mill with the Adams family who were related to the
Staffordshire Colcloughs and for the next half-century Adams
Mill was a kind of staging camp and second home for all the
Wexford and Kildavin Colcloughs who emigrated to Canada.
The Adams's Mill (formely known as Ringuet Mill; after 1842,
became Chesnay Mill) was operated (from 1812 to 1842) by Henry
Stapleton Adams. His grave states that he was born in London and
family legend claims a connection to Henry Quincy Adams. The
business did not flourish and Adams retired in 1842, and died in
1856. Two of his brothers, John and George, were millers in
Syracuse, New York, and he also had three sisters. The mill
was in the area of Trois Rivieres.
John Dudley Eaton at the age of 18 became involved in a "shot-
gun" marriage with Henry Adam's niece, Elizabeth. A son was born
within a few weeks of the wedding but died in infancy and a
second son, John Richard, was born in 1832. He had a further 4
children and on Elizabeth's death married his widowed sister in
law, Elizabeth Adams nee Johnston, about 1842. and the
descendants of three of his daughters, Henrietta who married
Edward Montgomery , Margaret who married John Ritchie, and
Caroline who married Eleazar Bouchard, are known to be in
Canada.
In 1820 they were in Louiseville, Co. Maskinonge
1823 they were in Frampton
In 1829 they were in Riviere du Loup
In 1830 they were living in Pointe Levis or Lévis
1831 they were in Frampton
1833 they were living in Pointe Levis
1840 they were in St Jean Crysostome
Various others of Vesey Colcloughs children had already
emigrated from Kildavin to Canada on assisted passages in
1809.

Dennis, Again I am writing to say what a great site
this is. I am very much enjoying reading your
blogs. They give an exploratory background to what
you have already searched and shared with Frampton
searchers.I look forward each month to new blogs!
Thank You!

I just had a SPAM e-mail from a person who said he was a Lawyer
and said that one of my relatives had passed away and the e-mail
not even from Canada. Sometimes we have a tendency of putting
our last names on some web site so people might know who we are.
So I sent the guy a nasty e-mail and told him I know better and
won't fall for his offer.

Just a short but public thank you to Dennis McLane for a fine
custom report done on our family's ancestry in Frampton and St.
Malachy. It is a veritable book of data, history, lists, etc,
along with some commentary and suggestions for additional in-
depth searches. On behalf of my five brothers, I thank Dennis
for a great report provided in a short time frame at a very
small price.

I wanted to contact Iris Palmquist who is listed on your site as
the researcher for White, but the email address
ipalmquist22lusk@cogeco.ca bounced. Is anyone else researching
White?

For Elsa Kilganon - we probably never met, but I am Kelly Barry -
son of Bill and Cecilia Barry. We used to come from New Jersey
to spend summers in St. Malachy with my mother's sister Pauleen
O'Farrell. I heard your family name many times every summer - I
expect you are related to the Kilganons that my people knew.

Well, I had my Heart Surgery, no fun. We didn't go out on strike
as we where considered essential and if we did go out, I would
have been out of luck, as it happend, I was rushed to the
hospital by ambulance and had my operation while the City was on
strike. That was back in September but I'm still at home
recuperating.

Gary:
In reference to your posting July 8 on www.framptonirish.com: I could not get through on the e-
mail address posted in your item, so hopefully, you will access this.
The only Kinsley I can recall in Frampton, where I grew up, was Hugh Kinsley, who lived in the
village and was one of a small handful of car owners in the 1940s. He operated his car as a
relatively exclusive taxi that principally catered to the remaining, more elderly Irish. I don't know
how, or if, he might have fit into your family, but I remember him as the only Kinsley remaining in
Frampton, so there's a chance there might be some connection. This is a mere snippet of a
memory of someone whom I never really knew but who still manages to stay in mind.
To my knowledge, Hugh lived by himself, and I can recall severeal occasions when his big,
impressive, four-door, black sedan (the year, make and model I don't know) would pull
occasionally into our farm gate, atop a hill overlooking Frampton village, to pick up my aunt,
Bridget Free, on one of her occasional outings to the village church or to visit friends and stores.
One thing about the car that fascinated me as a child was the red pinstripe that ran the length of
the car just below the windows. It was the height of luxury.
I remember Hugh as a distinguished, gray-haired gentleman, who always was impeccably dressed
in a dark suit and somber tie. He was quiet spoken and stood tall -- every inch a true gentleman.
I moved away from Frampton in my teens (although I still return there), and have no further
information on Hugh.
Good luck in finding information on other Kinsleys.

While looking for info on my gr grandmother, Sarah Sargent
Holmes, I found this site. Wonderful history of this area.
Sarah's obit states she is from West Frampton, Quebec, daughter
of William Sargent and Margaret Hurley, born 13 May 1845. Married
to John C Holmes, they moved to Maine (?) and then to Eau Claire,
Wisconsin. I tried emailing Dennis McLane but the address is
rejected. I just wanted to know if this is the area Sarah is from
and if he has any info on the family. He can contact me via my
email: joanjoey@embarqmail.com I would be happy to hear from any
others who are investigating the Sargent or Holmes line. Thanks
Joan Holmes

Great work on your research. I am just getting started and have
traced my Mom's side back to the Frampton Irish. I am part of
the Devereux Clan.

To Ber Holt from Ireland. I have tried twice to send an e-mail
to you without success. The e-mail will not deliver to the e-
mail address you provided. In answer to your question, I do
have information about the Isaac Holt family. If you can e-mail
me at dbmack11@aol.com with a better address or your mailing
address, I can let you know what I have.

Great history of the area - super website!
My mother, Mildred (Billie) Murphy, was born in Frampton
Dorchester County in 1914 to Moses and Ann (nee Duncan). Ann
died in Frampton June 16, 1960; Moses died c.1928 in Frampton.
My mother had two sisters Marie, Vera and three brothers -
Clarence, Edgar and Bill, all of whom passed away in the past 15-
20 years. Any information regarding Moses' and Ann's brothers
and sisters would be most appreciated.
