Hamnett PINHEY
and Pinhey's Point, Ottawa River, Ontario, Canada
January 18, 2003:
I was wondering whether there would be any way of posting on your site a
notification of the website of the Pinhey's Point Foundation, which fulfills
the museum functions at Horaceville, the riverfront residence in the old
March Township/City of Kanata constructed in stages, 1820-49, by the Hon.
Hamnett Pinhey? The Foundation interprets the history of the whole
township, and the newsletter (which I produce twice a year, the "Horaceville
Herald") has published articles on a number of March families. The website,
www.pinheyspoint.ca, provides historical material on Pinhey's Point plus
access to a name index to the financial accounts at the rear of Hamnett
Pinhey's diaries, 1821-57. Most of the individuals named in the accounts
were resident in the surrounding townships, chiefly March, Torbolton,
Huntley, and Nepean, as well as Eardley and Aylmer directly across the
Ottawa River in Lower Canada. The newsletter may be obtained by becoming a
member at $15 per year; cheques may be sent to the Foundation at 270
Pinhey's Point Road, Dunrobin, Ontario K0A 1T0. We hope during the course
of the year to get the 40 back issues of the newsletter scanned and mounted
on the Foundation's website. I think this will prove a useful resource.

January 28, 2003:
Hello Al;
I made a visit yesterday to the National Archives to view the Pinhey Diary
concerning my wife's
Gr-Gr-Gr-Grandfather Patrick (Paddy) Whelan.
There are 7 pages of account records on microfilm reel M-5567.
Very interesting the produce that was purchased (ie. Tobacco,Thread,etc.)
and the days worked by Paddy Whelan for Hamnett Pinhey.
The M-5567 reel is the only information available readily on site at the
Archives,
the other information classified by "MG" is available by ordering at least a
day in advance.
This information gives yet another description of how our ancestors lived.
The Pinhey Diary is a priceless find for all those researching their
ancestors.
Take care,
Steven Pusiak

Al
I have 5 pages of his Last Will and Testament to transcribe.
More excellent notes inside it.
According to Hammetts last will, he left money not only to his family
but gave to the Nuns, Hospital and business associates that have crossed
his path during his life. He was very generous.
Take care
Taylor
