Here is a bit not covered in your early settlers in Drummond.   Hope you find it useful.

WHITMORE and EDGE Surnames

There are many Whitmores buried at Curraghlawn which is right on the border of Wexford and 
Wicklow in Ireland, and only about 4 miles from Tinehaly.  The majority come from the 
townland of Clonroe which is about another 3 miles to the south through Wicklow Gap.

The Thomas Whitmore family must have emigrated quite early to Drummond Twp. in Lanark where 
a number of children were born between 1824 and 1843.  John Hobson Edge, who they might 
have known from Ireland, lived in Drummond in about 1835.  He later moved on to Grey County 
as did his Irish relatives.  The Whitmore family also moved on to Glenelg in Grey Co, where 
there where a number of other Edges.

Thomas recieved a Crown Grant for Lot 2 NDR1, Glenelg on Nov 1 1849.

On Dec. 30, 1865, a Thos. Whitmore was Worshipful Master of the Glenelg Orange Lodge #1192.  
This may have been Thomas or his son.

Hi Al,
 I hope all is well since we last spoke and again thank you for posting my query about 
 John Green McNee / McNie and wife Margaret- parents of my 1st greatgrandmother 
Isabella who married Archibald Gillespie Cameron- still no further info from anyone but I am 
sure it will come in time.

I do however have another query with respect to the Edward Cavanagh(s) that married into the 
Currans, Tetlocks, etc of Huntley and area- does anyone know if they are related to my 
Cavanaghs of the area - I descend through John Cavanagh (son of William Cavanagh and wife 
Elizabeth)  who married Jane B Rivington / Revington / Remington ( daughter of Michael of 
Huntley who was born 1777 and is buried at Huntley Christ Church in 1852). John's siblings 
William, Eliza and Denis / Dennis all married into my line as well of the Barbers ( John 
Barber and wife Mary nee Rivington / Remington / Revington of Fitzroy- suspect at this time 
that Mary was familial to Jane B Rivington/Revington/Remington in some capacity). My 
greatgrandfather was Michael James Barber - known as Mick - whose parents were Richard 
William Barber(son of John and Mary and wife Eliza nee Cavanagh ( daughter of John and wife 
Jane B.)  Yes- Debbie Prince whose Mulligan tree is posted on your site is my cousin 
just in case you saw the connection.

Anyway as there was an Edward Cavanagh in the area at the same time as the rest of the 
Cavanagh clan, it would seem likely that the two groups may possibly be connected and I am 
hoping someone out there knows. His parents were William Cavanaugh/Cavanagh born abt 1777 at 
Ireland and Ann nee Tetlock.  Edward married Harriet nee Tetlock  and on the 1842 census for 
Drummond Township it shows Edward and family along with a John Cavanagh and family residing at the same 
lot Con 4 , Lot 18. By the 1851 census Edward is still there but the John Cavanagh family is not and
a search shows the only John Cavanagh family anywhere even close is that of mine discussed above at 
Huntley hence my belief the familes are connected. As well Edward's father appears to be a 
William Cavanagh of Wexford Ireland who died in May of 1874 as recorded in the Perth Courier 
( it identifies a brother of Edward's called Benjamin who married Elizabeth nee Radford).  
Other documents show that William held the land in 1822 at Con 4 Lot 18.
The connection also seems plausible aside from the evidence of a John Cavanagh on the 
same lot in 1842 in that my John Cavanagh's father has been identified as a William as well 
and the age of this "William" fits nicely with that of John's father.
  
Thanks very much
