Peter Robinson settlers from Ireland to Canada in 1823
on the Ships Stakesby and Hebe
Surnames A to G 



In 1823, Peter Robinson brought almost 500 settlers from Ireland to an area just west of Ottawa, Canada. They came on two ships, the 
Hebe and the Stakesby. There are many thousands of their descendants in Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley today.

Here is a table showing the distribution of these 1823 settlers among our local townships:

Two years later, in 1825, Robinson brought more settlers but this time to the Peterborough area of Ontario.

This winter, I'll be researching this large group settlement program. Here are the main books and articles relating to the 
Peter Robinson Settlers:

And here is some historical information regarding the names of some of the towns / villages from where in County Cork many of these
pioneer families originated. As we can see, the Normans who came to South Munster (from Normandy, France), to Ireland in the 13th Century had 
a major influence on geographical names in the area. I'll be adding more info to this section of this web page in the future. ... Al
