Hi Al:
Here is a new publication for those whose ancestors were in Huntley Township. 
As you can see the index posted here includes surnames from the book.  It is 
available from the Huntley Historical society.

In the 1800's there were many connections between the villages of Richmond,
Stittsville, Hazeldean and Carp. One of my uncles was from the Tenth Line of
Goulbourn, central to all of these villages. His family had come from County Cavan
to Goulbourn Township.

He played hockey for the 1923 Stittsville team and gave me a picture of that team.
The names of the players include Wilson, Cathcart, Argue and Bradley (several of each).
He and I used to troll for lake trout for days on end in the 1950's and 1960's and
it was the best history lesson a boy could have.

The Stittsville hockey team travelled to Carp by horse-drawn sleigh to play against the
Rivington / Richardson teams. They had buffalo robes and torch lamps for the trip.

Sorry for the digression, but those were good memories!

Contact Linda Falls for a copy of a book on the history of Carp written by Dr. Bruce Elliott.
