To Ron Lee, P. Teevens and Gord Brown:

I have recently found some old church records from the Ontario side of the
Ottawa River, across from Quyon. Some of the surnames are Teevens, Brown,
Behan, O'Reilly.


Behan, O'Reilly, McMahon, Lynch, Cain, O'Malley, O'Donnell, Teevens, O'Connell

The children of Jeremiah Behan/Suzanne O'Reilly were born in Quyon, Quebec ,and
married there , but most are (like their parents) buried in Michigan . The main known
exception was their sixth child , my grandfather, Jeremiah Patrick Behan . He and 
10 of his 12 children came to coastal British Columbia in 1920, after Jeremiah buried 
two wives in Quyon--namely Tessie O'Donnell and Ellen Nellie Teevens .
Contact with those long-lost family ties would be very much appreciated .

Surname: Boucher

I am trying to find a starting point to trace my family.
I know very little about the background except that I was born in Alymer, My mom Lena BROWN (boucher)
was born some where (up the line)ie. in Pontiac county. Her father Austin Boucher from 
Irland and Mother Claira Boucher, I understand has some connection to the native tribe
from the area.(dead end) where can I turn for help in. If you are unable to assist can
you point me in the general direction to get started. thank you.

E-Mail from Sherrice:
I am seeking information on James BURNS who married Ellen FINNER.  
They had a daughter named Margaret Jane Burns, born August 8, 1872 in Arnprior Ontario.  
Does anyone make a connection to these names?
January 31, 2003:

Hello again Al. Could we add another file to your much appreciated site? Attached 
is a skeleton outline of what I have on my Behan roots. I can expand on many 
sections, as the need arises. Also, since "talking" to you last I have made up a 
cross reference list of known contacts (marriages, baptisms and funerals). Of major 
interest and/or importance to me right now are the numerous McMAHON, O'DONNELL,  
KENNEDY and TEEVENS links. Although O'REILLY, O'CONNOR, CONNELL and FARRELL  
sightings are less numerous who knows what jems they might uncover?!                                            ............Ron L.
                            -------------------------------
I’ve heard there are 3 primary Behan "root" families from the Ottawa Valley. Are 
they related? JEREMIAH BEHAN and CATHERINE FLYNN didn’t come to Canada personally 
but 5 of their children settled around Quyon/N.Onslow/Fitzroy Harbour. Six known Children:

1) JOHN BEHAN (~1806-1884 in Quyon) heads my particular line. First he married 
ROSANNA O’CONNOR (5 known kids ... see list below) then CATHERINE McHUGHES 
(Mom of Timothy:1848-1939) and finally CATHERINE HIGGINS (Margaret, Bridget 
and Thomas).

February 8, 2003:
Hi Ron:
 
Thanks for the TEEVEN info. I'll get it posted later. (see February 10, 2003 ... Al)
 
Here's a BEHAN from 1847. George DARLINGTON was a Protestant who joined 
the Catholic Church on Feb. 14, 1847 and the next day he married into 
the Behan family.

"14 February Received the abjuration of George Darlington and have baptized 
him conditionally in presence of Thomas Behan.

15 February Marriage of George Darlington, son of Michael Darlington and of 
Mary Caten, and Bridget Beahan, daughter of Jeremiah Behan and of Catharine 
Flynn, all of the Township of Fitzroy. The witnesses were Thomas Behan and 
Mary Ann Wade (McQuade)."

The above is recorded at St. Phillips in Richmond. (Thanks to Ellen Paul
who has recorded the records from St. Philips). The priest may have travelled 
from Richmond to Fitzroy (before St. Michael's at Fitzroy was built).

February 10, 2003:
Hello once again Al. Here is an outline of the Teevens tale, as I know it so far. 
Lots of pieces to play with -- but do they all belong in the same box?! 
 
I have considerable data re the Teevan family from Co.Cavan (Derryleague, Kilnagare, etc...) 
-- but can’t see the link to my Canadian relatives.


I also have an Ireland>USA file (esp N.Y. state) -- but can see no confirmed link with 
the Ottawa Valley Teevan/Tivens/Teevens cousins.

In Canada I know about the following families, but haven’t confirmed the link between 
any of the first four listed below and my own verifiable roots (in #5).

(1) Bernard TEEVANS married Mary McNULTY (both born in Ireland) Church records link 
them with St.Michael’s, Corkery. 

(2) James Teevens married Mary ROWAN in Ireland, then emigrated. Family records show 
up in Pakenham, Pembroke, Torbolton .... 

(3) John Daniel Teevan (b 1810 in Butlersbridge) bought land in Carleton Co., and 
married Elizabeth NEWMAN (also from Co. Cavan). Generations following called Fitzroy 
Harbour, Pakenham and Smith Falls home.

(4) John Teevans (b 1823 in Co Cavan) married Mary Anne CUMMERFORD / widow HUGHES before 
1851 and they raised their family around Fitzroy Harbour.


While I have seen pictorial proof that some of these families knew each other, 
the blood link has not yet been conclusively proven . 

Wonder how much DNA testing for everybody would cost ?!.

(5) Thomas Teevan (?? - before 1851) married Sarah O’REILLY (b~ 1810 in Co. Cavan) 

Their 5 known children were born in Huntley Twp: 

(a) James T. married Ann O’NEIL (?? - Nov 29th, 1871) 

(b) John T. / Eleanor (Ellen) O’NEILL, d/o John O’N. and Ellen O’Dwyer, on on 
Oct 10th, 1864, at St M’s, Corkery. (microfilm # 1304513) . They had seven known 
children .

(c** Daniel Tivins/Teevens (my great grandfather) married Marie/Mary WATTERS**

on Nov 25, 1873, at Notre Dame Cathedral, Bytown. 

Their 7th child (out of 12 or 13) Ellen Nellie Teevens (Nov 20, 1882 - Jan 24th, 
1920), was the second wife of Jeremiah Patrick BEHAN, and my grandmother. Their 
wedding day was May 23, 1903, at St Mary’s Quyon. Their ten children were born in 
N. Onslow and/or Quyon, with most, if not all, of their baptismal records traceable 
to St. Bridget’s. 

(d) Mary Teevens married John MULLINS on April 28th, 1870, at St Michael’s, 
Fitzroy Harbour. Seven known children. 

(e) Suzanna/Susan Teevens (born Aug 2nd, 1842, in Fitzroy Twp.).

I’ll gladly share the (sometimes meager) data that I have on any/all of the 
above families. 

Perhaps you hold the key to this riddle without even knowing it (i.e. a ship 
passage reference)!! I’d love to hear about any and all possibilities.

Hi Bob, Al, & Ron, 
 
Sorry Bob, the surname Teevan isn't in my family tree so I have very little 
information, however what I do have may be of interest to Ron. The following is 
taken from the book "Rock of Faith" by Terence M. Currie, page 65. 100th Anniversary 1892-1992 
St. Peter Celestine, Roman Catholic Church, Pakenham, Ontario. 
 
TEEVENS
    The Teevens family has left a number of connections through their marriages 
    to other families in the parish.  The original settler of that name was Daniel 
    Teevens, Lot 11, Con 12, Fitzroy. He and his wife Elizabeth Newman (b. 1813) 
    had five children: Daniel James, Mary, John, Ann and Patrick. 
 
Daniel James Teevens was first married in 1868 to Ann O'Neill: one of their 
children was a third Daniel Teevens. Daniel James' second wife, Mary Sheridan, 
died in childbirth in 1893. Daniel James' sister, Mary (d. 1913) was first Mrs. 
James O'Neill, by whom she had four children, and, after his death, Mrs. John Sherlock, 
with whom she had a further seven children. Her brother John married Mary Ellen O'Neill 
in 1874, while sister Anne became Mrs. Edmund Newton and Patrick, youngest of 
the family married Mary Louman.

LEE Surname in Ottawa and area
Hi Ron.
My name is Dirk Lee (Montreal) My father was Donald Lee (Ottawa) 1929-2002. My 
grandfather was James Henry Lee (Harry) 1901-1990 Ottawa married to Eva Belle Byron 
1903-1994. My other grandfather was Michael Joseph O'Reilly.
1883-1955 married to Lillian Marie Burton 1898-1932. I found my grandfather O'Reilly's 
grave at St-Michaels in Corkery, but I can not find my grandmother Burton's grave. 
I was told that maybe she was buried in Portage du Fort. If you have any other info, 
I would like to hear from you. (dlee777988@aol.com) Thank you for your time.

Dirk:

There was a Lee family in the Ottawa area (I think that Patrick Lee from Ireland)
may have been the first to arrive here before 1830. Here is a church record from 
downtown Ottawa:

12 Sep 1831    
Burial in the Catholic Church-yard at Bytown of the body of Bernard Lee from the
Township of McNabb (Renfrew County) who was accidentally killed by a fall off a 
horse on Sep 9, aged 29 yrs.    
William Crage / Craig? and James Daly    
M. Lalor, Priest

Bernard Lee may have been from the Town of Arnprior, not far from the Behans and others 
mentioned above on this web page. The town was called Madawaska in the 1830's and was
a major lumber depot at the confluence of the Madawaska and Ottawa Rivers.

Maybe someone can add further information to this family. I'll check at St. Mike's at 
Corkery for Lees and Burtons.

Hi Al,

I am responding to a query on http://www.bytown.net/behan.htm left by 
Dirk Lee. Dirk's e-mail has been returned to me so I'm hoping he'll 
eventually see this reply and contact me at marilyncottrell@rogers.com. 

We are descendants of Edward Shannon and Mary Judge from Ross Township in 
Renfrew County.

Michael Joseph O'Reilly was my greatgrandmother, Mary (Shannon) 
Nichol's, first cousin. Joseph's parents were Michael O'Rielly and 
Marguerite Shannon.

Joseph's first wife, Lillian Burton, died shortly after childbirth in 
1932 and my grandmother, Mary Elizabeth (Nichols) Graham, looked after 
the baby, Lillian Margaret Ann, for quite a while.

I found the baptism at St. Patrick's in Ottawa for Lillian Burton who 
converted to a Catholic the day before her death, on 3 Nov 1932. She was 
buried at Portage-du-Fort on 5 Nov 1932.

Thank you for all your hard work, Al.
