Hi Frank and Taylor:

Here is the record from St. Michael's Church, Huntley. It's difficult to
read and Roseanna Power could well be Rose Povin / Potvin:

Dogges, Gabrial (Dodge)
son of Dogges, Edward and Power, Roseanna 
was born on 5/29/1838
Godparents: Behan, Edward & Mary

And thanks for your e-mail regarding the history of the Diocese of Ottawa. I
hope to get a copy of it soon.
I keep coming across the name Potvin. The Potvin family had a store at
Manotick Station in the early 1900's and one of my Burns ancestors married a
Dora Potvin if I remember correctly. She was always called "Black Dora"
because of the colour of her hair. There must have been another Dora in the
neighbourhood with fair hair.

Hi Al;

Thanks for the info.  Yes, Power is Potvin.  The name was usually written
Pudva/Pudvah in the English parishes.  I presume that St Michael's, Huntley
is the same as St Michael's, Corkery?  That's where the Dodge's lived about
that time, but I didn't think St Michael's was open at that time.  Before
that, they lived on Long Island, below Burritt's Rapids.   Do you have the
baptismal date although I have access to Corkery, so I should be able to
find it.

If you're familiar with Long Island, where would a person likely go to be
married about 1828-1830.  I checked in NDO and there was nothing, although
it's possble the wedding was lost when Father Patrick Haran disappeared with
all the records (if he ever compiled them!).  That's where Edward Dodge and
Rosanne Potvin lived in 1832.  I have a suspicion that Dodge was not his
original name.  I think it was more likely Dazé, pronounced DAWZE or DAWTZÉ
in French.  Otherwise, why would an English/Irish priest have so much
trouble with a good English or Irish name like DODGE?  In Richmond, the name
was also screwed up, just like in NDO.

That Potvin family is the same one that owned a store in Manotick Station in
the 1900's.  The first one to move there was John (Jean Baptiste)
Damour-Potvin married to Marie Reine (Larene) Albert who was my
grgrandfather's sister.  My grandmother Annie Albert was married first to
Simon Tracey from March Township, then when Simon died in 1879, she married
grandfather John Watters in NDO in 1881.

Could you give me the full name of your Burns ancestor and the names of his
parents?  I only have his family name.  If you descend from the Burns/Potvin
couple, we're related as Dora was the d/o Alexandre Potvin and Valerie
Guindon.  Alexandre Potvin was the s/o Joseph Potvin and Julie Lécuyer, who
was the s/o Jean Baptiste and Marie Reine Albert.   I have all the Potvin,
Albert & Lécuyer families from those dates up if you want them.

Somewhere on Bytown of Bust, someone wrote that all the Irish in the area
were related.  I think that all the Catholics were related.

Best regards
Frank

Frank:
This is very interesting - and it's a small world, for sure.

Yes, St. Michael's is in the village of Corkery, in Huntley Township. The baptism
took place on August 5, 1838. I also thought that Dodge must have been originally
a French surname ... maybe even Dugas.

Hello Frank and Al
My great uncle Dick (Richard Dubois) married Elizabeth Dodge who was born April 19, 1902. 
They married July 16, 1917. After some time, they split and she became owner of cabins in 
Calabogie. The name Dodge, not that common, I was wondering if you had any information on 
her in your data.
Take care
Taylor
==========================

Here are some Dodge names from Carol Bennett's book People of St. Patrick's, 1843-1993:

1851 Census, Brougham Township - Jeremiah Dodge is listed as Head of Family.
A Dora Dodge became a nun.
A picture of Mrs. Elizabeth Hunt, nee Dodge, on her 90th birthday (photo undated)

I think that the Hunt family was previously at Corkery.
