The Scharf family were among the early settlers in Goulbourn Township.
They are in the 1820 census for Goulbourn.

Hi,
I  noticed your interest in the Scarf / Scharf family who were early 
settlers in the Bytown/Ottawa area of the Ottawa valley, at Hazeldean, 
March, Nepean and across the river at Templeton.

I have been researching the early Irish origins of my Scarf/Scharf family 
at Old Leighlin and Castlecomer, County Kilkenny.  I am descended from 
John Scarf and Jane James of Nepean. He was the nephew of James Scharf 
who settled at Hazeldean circa 1820-21.
Do you have any information on the family before 1820? 

Regards
Darryl Scarff

Mr. Scharff says in his e-mail, above, that his Scharff ancestors came from Old Leighlin.
The John Scharf on the McCabe List in 1829 has an 18 year old son named Beecham, living
with his grandfather, Thomas, at Old Laughlin (sp?).

Also, Brian Scharf is researching his ancestors, James & Ann Scharf who settled in
the Ottawa area c. 1820.
