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 Colclough’s 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 Colclough’s children had already emigrated from Kildavin to Canada on assisted passages in 1809.

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.

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

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.
