Hi Al,    re: Early (pre-1834) Settlers in Gloucester Township
 
I have a little on this James Johnston mentioned, but my main interest in the 
cemetery are the Moore and Gamble families buried there.

In the book  WHO'S WHERE, A Guide to the Cemeteries of Rideau Township by 
Jim Kennedy (and Associates) the cemetery is called Presbyterian Cemetery (closed) 
near Johnston Corners.  I read somewhere that originally there was a small 
Presbyterian Church near the cemetery property, to which the cemetery belonged.  
As time went on, the church was too small and became part of the United Church 
at Johnstons Corners to the south.  

 Descendants of James Johnston, Sr.

Hello 
 
As I drove down Bank Street South Close to Gloucester at Analdea Dr  there was a 
Plot of Land in front of some Houses with Tomb Stones??  No name for the Cemetery and 
only 3 Stones showing.  Very Close to the Main Road and no Fencing around the Cemetery . 
 
1st Stone Herbert Wilson son of Robert and Mary Ann GOTH Died Jan 6 1882 Age 4 months
 
2nd Stone John Goth Died March 11 1897 Age 81 His Wife Hannah Goth Born Feb 24 1824 
Died April 29 1920 Age 96 
 
3rd Stone was Knocked down and completely buried except for a corner? 
 
4th Stone Mary Elizabeth FENTON Died June 11 1883 Albert Ernest Fenton Died May 8 1892 
Age 29 Years Other side of Stone John Forest Fenton Aug 16 1874 Age 23 , 
Johnson Edward Fenton April 9 1873 Age 29 Years Other Side of Stone George Fenton Died 
Dec 27 1889 Age 90 His Wife Elizabeth CALDWELL Died Jan 5 1900 Age 76
 
I have no connection to this family and again find myself curious why they are all 
by themselves in the middle of a Main highway when there is a Church just down the 
Road . Wonder also if there was a name for this Cemetery at some point .

Hi Al
 
I spent most of last evening navigating the site Gaelynn Wall provided the 
link to.  More than one cup of coffee was required.  What surprised me was how 
relatively few Canada Company settlements there were in Gloucester. I counted 8  up to 
your gggf.  Its not like much of the township was settled by then so it probably 
speaks to just how undesirable much of it was or how hard it was to get into the 
hinterlands. Interesting. I also spent a bit of time on the section covering 
land patents issued in 1836; lots of Peter  Robinson folks there. (PR)
 
While pursuing a lead on my Moxley ancestors I made contact with a descendent 
of the Freeman family who settled at Bowesville.  One of the Moxley daughters 
married into this family which has links to many of the other early settlers in 
Gloucester and up the valley.

Hi Al:
 
Thanks for your e-mail.
 
I think that you're right about some of the land in Gloucester being not prime 
farmland. According to the 1879 map, the 200 acres which my GGGrandfather bought 
in the mid 1830's seems to be about one-third swamp. He moved to another farm in 
1842, just a few miles south in Osgoode Township, no swamp, but lots of rocks!
Each field is surrounded by a five foot stone wall.

Graham's Corners
Hi Al,
 
I have been fascinated reading the Bytown or Bust site about the Ottawa area.  
I was wondering if you had ever heard about or had any information about an area 
in the early 1800`s at Walkley and Russell road area? Back in the early 1980's 
when the Walkley Road ramp was being completed to the 417, I read an article 
about a town that was in that area in early 1800.  The article had a map, 
showing a stable, livery, dairy, Henry Farm (?) hotel, saloon, school house.  
A whole little town.  Maybe Grahams Corners(?)  Do you have any knowledge or 
info about this.  I have lost the article through the years. (Put it somewhere 
for safe keeping) Now can`t find it, any info would be great. Also, I am related 
to the Hawley family that lived on Viewbank Road. My grandmother was a Hawley 
(Houlahan were her cousins)
Thank you, 
Sandy Townson

Hi Sandra:
 
Thanks for your interesting e-mail.
 
I have a copy of a map of Gloucester Township, dated 1879. 
I think that your village at Walkley and Russell Road was called "Hawthorne". 
(see also posting dated June 12, 2005, regarding the Hawthorne neighbourhood ... Al)
Or, at least, the Post Office there was called "Hawthorne".
There is a Graham farm located at the intersection so it may have been known also as 
Graham's Corners. Some of the other landowners in the area were the Heron family 
(Heron Road), Borthwick, Norton, Little (Litle?) and Enoch Walkley families. 
There was a Post Office, Church and Orange Hall at the crossroads.
 
Do you mind if I add your e-mail and e-mail address to our web site as a contact 
for other researchers who may have further information for us? 
  
Thanks again.

Ramsayville Cemetery
This large cemetery is located at the corner of Ramsayville Road and Russell Road.
There are many very old grave markers, including one for Robert Clements from County
Antrim who was a member of the 13th Company of the Royal Sappers and Miners (ML# 417).
Some of the names are Allen, Moxley, Anderson, Borthwick, Kettles, Baskerville,
McGregor and McEwan.

Dorothy: I was unable to locate the marker for Elizabeth McGregor, spouse of ? Wotley.
However, there is one for an Albert Firth, born 1891. Is this one of the surnames
which you are researching?

April 10, 2005:
Hi Al and Sandy: 
According to Grace Johnston's article in Gloucester Roots, the general area Russell Rd, 
Walkley Rd,  Hawthorne Rd was first known as Greens Corners after Gordon Green who 
settled at the corners in the 1830s, He operated a sawmill on Greens Creek somewhere 
closer to its mouth.  That name was apparently used until 1873 when it was changed 
to Hawthorne as part of the expansion of postal services  to rural areas in that year. 
The village kept that name until it was annexed by the city of Ottawa in the 1950s. 
More detailed information is available in RJ Freisens book The History of Hawthorne United Church.
 
A man named Archibald Graham was postmaster for some time so its quite possible 
Grahams Corners was used as a 'by name'. 
Hope this helps

Re: Unknown Cemetery at Bank Street South Close to Gloucester at Analdea Dr
 
Thank you Cheryl for the picture of my ancestors cemetery. I do have individual 
pictures but not a group picture of the entire cemetery.
 
There is a lot of history to this cemetery. I refer to it as the Union Cemetery 
but it could also be called the United Church Cemetery or the Methodist Cemetery. 
Its location is Lot 18 West Pt., Con 5 Rideau Front, Gloucester. 
 
Today it is an inactive cemetery but at one time it was a full cemetery. Many were 
moved to Johnston's Corners Cemetery but some were not moved and are still there but 
without stones. There is about 5 or 6 stones still there but not visible as a lilac 
bush is growing amongst them and they are the LEE family. 
 
In 1837, William Fenton donated the land to the church and the 1st Methodist Church 
in that area was built right in front of the cemetery. About 1878 a larger church was 
built over the original one. Some time abt. 1940 it was sold to the Leitrim Womens' 
Institute. When the highway came through the church was torn down.
 
If possible I would love to obtain the larger picture that you have.
Thank you
Darlene
April 29, 2005:
Al:  Thanks so much for your prompt reply.  
Of interest, I was looking at your site in Bytown or Bust and was noticing the piece 
on Ramsayville Cemetery. In the Carleton Saga it was written that 
Ramsayville has four different names. Ramsay Corners, after pioneer Alexander Ramsay. Then, 
Charley Taylor arrived From England and the settlement was named as Taylorholme, then 
Taylorville, then finally Ramsayville.  The first settlers listed in Ramsayville were 
listed as Kinmond, Sharp, Rowatt, Johnson, Fee, Taylor, Ramsay Smith, Stewart, Anderson, 
Croll, Kettles, Mison, Baskerville, Childs, Farmer and Hueston.
Ramsayville is where my relatives--Stewart and Hueston came from--hence the interest in 
the Hueston family.

Hi Carole:
When I was in Ramsayville a couple of weeks ago I was looking for the cemetery associated 
with Bethany United Church.
Do you know if the Ramsayville cemetery is the correct one or is there another cemetery, 
belonging to Bethany United Church in the Ramsayville area?
 
Thanks again for this.

Al: You could add my e-mail address as I am always looking for new information 
regarding the Stewart/Huestons of that area.
 
The Ramsayville Cemetery is indeed the one associated with Bethany United Church, 
and where you will find most names that I quoted buried there.

Another early cemetery in Gloucester Township (Riverside South)

surnames Nixon, Moodie, Hawkins, Drysdale
Thanks to Sandra for the following:
Hello,
I've been eyeing down this Cemetery for about a week now & I was finally able to 
stop & take pictures. Looks like the headstones were damaged before. As you can 
see William Nixon's headstone was replaced at the bottom (fairly new), so you can't 
read anything on the bottom, if there was anything there its now covered. Looks 
like the Cemetery is well kept & has an iron fence all around it, but has no name to it. 
Surnames are: 
Nixon, Moodie, Hawkins & Drysdale.

Hawthorne neighbourhood
(continued from April 5, 2005)
I was just reading some things on your website http://www.bytown.net/glou1834.htm  
and notice you mentioned the post office, Orange Hall and United Church at Hawthorne.  
There was also a Public School there.  Hawthorne Public Schhol is now located on 
St Laurent Blvd but it used to be right at Hawthorne.
 
I lived on the Hawthorne Road in the early 1950's but went to Ramsayville Public.

Thanks to Al Craig for the following:

Hi Al 
 
The following comes from Gloucester Roots, p.48, an article by Grace Johnston 
 
" Three neighbouring communities decided to make one big school section for 
the Ridge, Hawthorne and Taylorville ( later Ramsay's Corners, Ramsayville) with 
the school to be built in Taylorville.  However, the distance for the Ridge and 
Hawthorne pupils to walk was considered to be to great, so Hawthorne was chosen 
as the central point for the log school. Mr. George Green gave the land in 1869 
at the intersection of the Walkley  and Russell  Roads.... About 1870 a second 
school building below the hill replaced the first log  school... In 1899, SS 16 
hired John Alexander to build a new brick school - the third school- on land 
purchased from James Borthwick "on the south side of Walkley Road just west of where 
Hawsthorne Road joined Walkley"
 
Three of my cousins attended Hawthorne in the late  50's and of course most of my 
Moxley forbears would have attended from its beginings. Hope this is of interest

More on the Graham family history
Gary King has sent in the following infromation regarding his 
Graham ancestors in Gloucester Township:

Re: the info on your site regarding the Grahams in Hawthorne.  Not sure about them, 
but there was a Graham farm on the Bowesville Rd. near the corners of Walkley and 
Riverside Dr.  See the Carleton County Map 1879.  This was my Grandfathers homestead.  
It had been settled about 1830 by my GGGrandfather.  The main building was still 
there until 1958.  The farm was sold to the Campeau Corporation at that time.  
There are now town houses along Walkely Rd. running east where the farm had been.  
Apparently there had been a section reserved for a new Catholic Church (Holy Cross) 
which was to be built.  However, I understand that the church didn't particularly 
like the area so they moved a bit farther east.  This is not mentioned on their web 
history. 
Mooney's Bay was called that because my relatives of the day rented a building to him 
in the 1830's which he used as a hotel or inn.  Thus the Mooney's Bay moniker.  
I have spoken a number of years ago with a gentlemen who remembers the bay being 
called Graham's Bay because of the farm, but of course that is not confirmed.  
Not to be confused either with the Graham Bay in Britannia. 
Anyway some help here.  I do have a newspaper clipping of the farm building 
from 1958.  cheers

Thank you so much for posting pictures of the River Road / Earl Armstrong Cemetery.  I think my Great Great Grandparents
