Hi Al, 

I think it’s very possible that the Henry Mellon, b. Ire., who was in Waltham, Pontiac County, Quebec in 1851 (attached) 
and 1861, and later around Allumette Island, is the man listed as #517 on the McCabe List, from County Tyrone. 

Henry of Waltham, QC, etc. was married initially to Bridget Bolger, according to a family tree listed with 
ancestry.ca (which also says he was from Northern Ireland), but later married Bridget Ronan in Allumette Island 
(attached); at that time he was the widower of Bridget Bugler, the record says. Henry died in Allumette Island. 
You have a couple of pages in B or B involving this family: 

http://www.bytown.net/heaney.htm  and http://www.bytown.net/lumbering.htm , which has a photo that includes him. 

I have been looking at the Mellons from Bytown to Kingston the last few days, trying to make some of them mine, who are 
from Wicklow / Wexford, but all this eastern Ontario group appear to be from Tyrone. Here’s the Hugh Mellon who was in 
the 1st Carleton Militia, and earlier in the 99th regiment:

There’s a Hugh Mellon in Kingston in 1871 who could be this man.

I found the marriage of Mary Mellon and Hugh Hany / Heaney in the records of Notre Dame Basilica:

Marriage of Hugh Hany to Mary Mellon
Witnesses: Patrick Whalen and Henry Mellon 

This Heaney couple was living next to Henry Mellon and family in Waltham in 1851 (attached), so I think Mary must 
have been Henry’s sister. (They’re 10 years apart in age.)

And the fact that Henry was in the Bytown area in 1836 would lend a bit more support to our contention that he’s the man 
on the McCabe List.

Just a note that Hugh Haney / Heaney died in Chapeau, Quebec, circa 1852 / 1853 as the month of July 1853 Hugh Haney Jr 
was born and Mary Mellon widow of Hugh Haney remarried Belanger, both recorded on the same page.
