This message is for Jane McIntire Mann (08 OCT 2005). We are related. My grandfather was Nicholas
Walsh (1857-1937), Catherine Walsh's brother. He lived all his life in Frampton on a farm 1 mile
from the old family farm that is still owned by a Walsh, Raymond, son of John, Nicholas' eldest son.
My father was Dennis (1908-1991) who kept his father' farm until 1974 about. Henry Harpe,
Catherine's husband had two sons I know of (and I think a few daughters). They were Eddy and
John. John had a son Lawrence, who visited us in the early 60's. I also remember my Dad telling us
of wild parties when his cousins would visit many years earlier. I would like to hear more from
the Harpes. You can contact me at macmarwa@ns.sympatico.ca. (By the way, the posting just before
yours on the Frampton Irish site, is from my nephew Michael from Toronto.)

Very impressive Dennis! This site is a must for all Irish who have a relatives in Frampton... and as I
can see, they are many (I did not realize that I could be related to half of North-America.) Too bad it
shows up so far from the top on Google, after umpteen entries on Peter Frampton!
I was born in Frampton in 1951 and grew up there. I have a few documents telling about the Murphy
journey to California as well as a few genealogy notes my parents received from Mrs. Cadogan from
California after she visited Frampton for the 150th anniversary in 1975. We are distant cousins. I will
send you an e-mail with more details in the coming days.

My connection to the Frampton, St Malachie area is my
grandmothers family of Thomas Smith and Sarah Smyth.Both parents
were married in the area.Their families married Dicksons,
Dillons, Wilsons.Eventually Smiths and Smyths moved to Jackson
port, Doors county, Wisconsin and Dillons/Smiths to Bangor/ Milo
Maine.Also some moved to the western Canadian provinces.
I am sure there are many more that are scattered over North
America.
Dennis, I really appreciate you taking the time to pull all of
this together.
What information would you have of the Smith/Smyth families
would be of interest to me for purchase?
Thanks again, if anyone would like whatever limited info I have,
contact me

My daughter was doing some research on the 150th anniversary of
St Malachie and she got a response from Dennis. Now I have
found this site, and I see names from the summers my family
spent in St Malachie - Linus Fitzmorris, Tom and Lucy O'Grady,
Austin Kelly, and other surnames - what a rush of past
memories! This is a really great resource to learn about our
pasts. Anyone who knows me - one of 6 sons of William and
Cecilia Barry - feel free to write kvbarry@aol.com Some of us
will make the 150th St. Malachie celebration - hope to catch up
with many of you.

Dennis was recommended to me by Karen of Coronado.
He did an excellent "custom report" on my Bridget
Barry Mace. The report is thorough, well organized
and the service was fast. He saved me months of
research and his price was more than reasonable. I
am very satisfied with his work and would recommend
him to anyone who wants to know more about their
Frampton ancestors.

A wonderfully researched and beautifully written expose on the
Irish of Frampton.
It os often forgotten that many early irish settlers did not stay
in their original places of settlement, but moved on to greener
pastures after many many years. Those of us who are researching
our Irish ancestry are often thrown off track until we realise
this. I was most interested to read of someone with my surname
listed as an early Frampton pioneer and considering how my
ancestors came to Australia in the early 1800's, it is sobering to
think upon the insidious social forces that sent the sons and
daughters of Erin to far flung shores. However it is with pride
when we reminisce on the fortitude of those who built the
foundations of a better life for so many of us.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this web site and you should be very
proud of the work you have done.

When I saw the name of Linus Fitzmorris on the website (which I
haven't visited in some time), it brought me back many years to a
visit to St. M. with my parents. The Fitzmorrises lived at the
top of the hill and are cousins of mine. Their grandmother,
Mary, was a sister of my grandfather, Joe McGrath. A boy of
maybe ten or twelve was sitting at the kitchen table with a slide
rule. Linus, I remember the visits your parents Amelia and John
made down to Boston to see my parents. The house you grew up in
was the original McGrath home. You must be having a wonderful
time, Linus, with modern math. Do you still have that slide
rule? Please write to me at j.m.day@att.net and let me know
about your life and your siblings. I did see Lena a few summers
ago when I was up to St. Malachy. And when I visit the cemetery
up there, I stop by to say "hello" to your parents. Hope you
will be at the 150th anniversary. My brothers and I will be
there.

Community Quilt -
This quilt was made so that they could collect money to build a boy's Anglican college in
Frampton's district.
In autumn 1916, Mrs. Hibbard, proposed to the Anglican community the making of a quilt adorned
with the names of all the donors. The quilt when finished would be raffled.
Noemie and Antoinette Aube-Chabot, whose names are on the quilt, still remember the event
considering their tender age at the time. Noemie said, "one morning our neighbor brought us a
square of yellow cotton and asked us to embroider the names of our family members". Each
inscription cost 10 cents. The idea was accepted with enthusiasm. The yellow cotton squares
were in no time spread through St-Malachy, Frampton and Cumberland Mills.
The project spread out over the surroundings of St-Malachy and Springbrook. The Anglicans from
St-George de Beauce, shared in the project followed by the French and Irish. During the winter of
1917, the women nimbly embroidered all over the region. The project was going well and ended
with a Garden Party which was held at the Henderson's manor in St-Malachy, that was when the
raffle took place. It is reported that all the population was invited.
Mrs. Lottie McLaughlin preciously kept to this day wrapped in blue plastic, the quilt which her
mother Jane Doherty gave her. She declares she was swaddled in it in her crib. Since then, as a
promise, she took great care of this historical gift.
The quilt consists of 35 squares of cotton on which 377 names are embroidered with red thread.
Sewed together these squares form a surface of 185 cm by 195. It was the collective work of
ethnical and confessional groups living along the Irish cause way, in the eastern section: first the
Irish Anglicans contributed 70.8% with 267 names; then the Catholic French Canadians
presented a population of 16.7% with 63 names; and the Irish Catholic for 12.5% with 47 names.
Three conclusions are drawn from this graphic chart. First the groups were far from being closed.
We can also be surprised that the French Canadians contributed to this project since it was for
the building of an English Protestant school. This convinces us that the neighborly feeling
prevailed, at least, in this case, over other beliefs that were in general imposed on other social
contacts with more severity.
The second observation derives from the first and explains it. In 1916-17, the French population
out numbered the English. In fact we can understand that the project, started by the Anglicans
brought the participation of the majority group, who did not feel threatened but saw it as a chance
to have their names embroidered on the quilt which would be raffled.
In conclusion, we remarked that the two minority groups exchanged the squares that the
Anglicans had entrusted to them. This is why the French Canadians are grouped principally in the
sections A-3, A-5, C-3, D-1, D-4 and E-1 and the Irish catholics were grouped in the sections B-4,
B-5, C-5 and D-2.
Description of the quilt:
Material: unbleached cotton at five cents a yard.
Size: 74 x 78 inches.
Composed of: 35 squares of 10 inches square.
Color: White.
Inscriptions: 377 names embroidered with red thread.
Informants:
Mrs. Lottie McLaughlin (Doherty) - Died: 31 October 2000.
Noemie (Aube) Chabot and her sister Antoinette.
Saint Malachy.

I was born in St- Malachy and went to school in Frampton. It was
by total surprise that I read one of your posts only to discover
my cousin Linus Fitzmorris had written it. Hi Linus. All the
best to you and family.
Great site!! Reading some of your work Dennis reminded me of my
childhood.

Tremendous site. About time someone did the hard work. I knew if
I resisted long enough someone would do it. Dennis, could you
tell me what items I should purchase from you that would give me
the most info on Thomas Lawlor and his descendants. His son
Michael had land on the 1st range Ste Edouard, probably handed
down from Thomas. jimlawlor@bell.ca is my address. Thanks and
keep going.
