Year 1818 to 1826/27
12 December 2017
Starting next year, the 200th anniversary of settlement of
'Present Day Ottawa', I will follow the calendar in listing
events of a genealogy nature. Previously I have listed many
persons names, some stayed and some left, concentrating on
the latter. As I just mentioned, next year is the 200th anniv. of
Ottawa. Not much happened until the start of construction of the
Rideau Canal in 1826/27.
As you may know a settler would be given a 'ticket' to settle
on a lot. The terms of settlement would take about 3 years to
complete. This involved building a house and clearing about
6 acres of land, and a few other items. He would then be given
the patent on that lot. Some lots were not very good farmland
and may this was the reason for moving on?
So we will have to see what goes on next year. I know of an
event next June (More later). But now time out for Xmas.
A Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to all

Settlement of Richmond/Goulbourn Twp
15 Nov 2017
I am a little slow these days and will have a new post shortly. As you are no doubt
aware next year, 2018, is the 200th anniversary of the start of settlement of what is
now the city of Ottawa. FYI, it never became known as that until 1855. It actually
had no name until it started to be called Bytown. Also as I have mentioned
before the 100th Regiment became known as the 99th Regiment in February 1816.
The settlers started arriving in Richmond in the fall of 1818.
For the names of the military settlers go back to the alpha listing in 2015 and for the
civilian settlers starting in January 2016 and early 2017

Settlement of Richmond/Goulbourn Twp
3 October 2017
Moving on to the 200th Anniversary
Just to mention; On 3rd of November 2017 it will be the 200th
Anniversary of the Bank of Montreal. I was a member a few yrs ago.
Ref; Canada's History (formerly 'The Beaver') Oct/Nov 2017 issue
pages 42 - 46.
The fall of 2018 is the 200th Anniversary of the settlement of
(present day Ottawa) Richmond and the Goulbourn Twp area.
Refer back in this blog to the alpha Surname listing of Soldiers
in the year 2015. There are 181 names mostly from the
100th/99th Regiment and a few other Regiments.
Following in the year 2016 and part of 2017 the civilian
settlers who settled also in alpha order. By my count there
are 454 settlers in total. I am going to attempt to determine who
moved away. and especially where?? There is not much info
available until the 1851 Census. so good luck Jim.
It took about three years for a settler to complete the terms
of settlement. The soldier/settlers were probably not farmers
as they probably joined the army as young men about 20 yrs old.
Above I used the term 100th/99th Regiment. They are the same
and will explain in my next post.
FYI, WE just returned from a visit to Europe. Stayed near Baden-Baden
and went to Kandersteg in Switzerland; Visiter Dieppe, Dunkirk and
Vimy, and visited relatives around Baden. A great trip but tiring.
Glad to be home. Jim St

In about 1 year from now we will be celebrating the start of settlement of
Bytown, its bi-centennial [August 2018]. Much happened before this date
but I plan to move forward from 1817, 200 yrs ago today.
I have listed in previous posts, military settlers in 2015 in alpha order
and then civilians in alpha order Jan. 2016 to Feb 2017.
There are 181 Soldiers and the civilian settlers total 454 persons/families.
Driving thru Goulbourn Twp. one can see why many settlers moved away.
There is an article in The Stittsville News, dated 25 January 1984, page 14
entitled 'The survey of Goulbourn in 1817' by G.J.Zeldenrust.
[Goulbourn Historical Society]. This article details important info
regarding early Goulbourn, its survey and settlement. Also contains a map
of 5 lots, 6 to 10 of Concession VIII and details of the lot size, etc.
Richmond is in the south east corner of Goulbourn Twp. and contains
19, one acre lots from Perth St on the north to Ottawa St. on the South.
The streets running north and south are Queen St on the west and
King St on the east. Outside these streets there are 120 10 acre park lots,
1 acre wide and 10 acres long.[ An acre is about 208 ft square]
An article in the latest Ottawa Genealogist, July - Sept 2017 pg 73 - pg 88
Listed are the settlers on most of the lots. eg on page 75 Row 1 lists
the settlers on lot 1 of each street. Each block of the town has 2 lots
in the east/west direction and three lots deep. I hope this is not too
confusing. More later Jim St.

"Hearing of Crown lands being available in Canada, upon
certain improvements being made, they decided to come across.
they found a homestead about three miles north east [incorrect]of
Carleton Place Ont. [Actually Goulbourn Twp. Con.9, Lot 3East]
which is about thirty miles southeast of Ottawa, [now the south east
corner of City of Ottawa], and filled out an application on it.
It takes about three years to improve the land [terms of settlement]
which requires a log house and stable to be built plus clearing and
cultivating fifteen acres of land. This would average five acres a year
as it was heavily timbered. That would be no small undertaking a in
those days with an axe and cross-cut saw. There were no roads, just
trails through the bush to your next door neighbour. No doctors,
hospitals, drug stores, churches or cemeteries, just hard work.
Potatoes, whole wheat bread, rolled oats and wildlife meat were
the main courses to live on, plus wild honey and maple syrup.
There were no frills in those days and they were husky and
hardy pioneers." Next the author lists names of nine children
and are not the correct ones for Joseph's family-
Joseph, Frederick, Steven, Herbert, Ephriam, Arthur, Sarah,
Alma and Hazel. The mother Sarah died about 1830 and is buried
on the farm. I suspect that there were more than a few persons
buried there but I have not investigated.

Joseph Stanzel [2nd entry]
"Of his regiment only 27 men survived to reach home. The rest of his regiment perished
on the return trip. He was young, strong and healthy when first conscripted. His parents
hardly recognised him as their son when he staggered home.
Towards spring, after regaining most of his former strength, he advised his parents that he was going to leave home, otherwise he would be recalled back into the army when spring arrived.
How, why or when he reached Belfast, Northern Ireland we don't know. He got himself a
job working in the Belfast shipyards which was recognized as the largest shipbuilding
centre in the world. Fearing he might be recalled back into napoleon's Army, he took out
naturalization papers and became an Irish citizen. Like all young men, he found himself
a young Irish girl, or biddy as they were called. Her first name was Sarah [Coyle].
They fell in love with each other and he went to the priest to make arrangements for their
marriage. The only hitch was that most of the people in Northern Ireland were
Protestants and she would have to become a Catholic before the priest would marry them.
When he informed her of this, she said 'No'. They broke up for a short time, but
loneliness makes the heart grow fonder. So he went to her and asked if he became a
protestant, would she reconsider. Her answer was 'yes', so they became united shortly
after in the Lutheran Church".

"The Diary of a Napoleonic Foot Soldier" by Jakob Walter, 1788-1864

Stanzel, Joseph and Family [1st entry] Settled Goulbourn Twp. Con.9, East 3, May 1819.
Other surname spellings are Stansal, Stanzell and possibly others
Following is an edited version of a 'Family Tree History' originally written by
Orin Chester Stansal on 4 Nov. 1978 in Kelowna B.C.
He is of the same generation as my father, James Harold Stanzell.
" I can only give what I was told by my father regarding the early history of
the Stanzel family. First settler to Canada was Joseph Stanzel who was born
in the Black Forest area of Germany c 1784, exact location unknown. Being the eldest
son of the family he would traditionally be named Joseph. He was born and raised in a
Roman Catholic home. When a young man he was conscripted into Napoleon's Army, c 1802.
Alsace-Lorraine was under French rule at that time. It was a rich in forestry and mines.
The method of conscription in those days was a bit crude, carried out by the recruiting officer
who came to your home. If there were sons 18 years and older, they reached into a leather pouch.
which contained white and black balls. If you drew a black ball, you were in the army. If the army needed of more recruits, some of the white balls were removed. There was no medical check-up
in those days.
This young man was trained in the infantry and later was sent on a march into Russia in 1812.
Napoleon's objective was to capture Moscow before winter set in. Heavy skirmishes were met
along the way, delaying the army's advance. Rain, snow and freezing temperatures set in
causing further delays. In the meantime, seeing that Napoleon was determined to capture Moscow,
the Russians adopted a scorched earth policy and also set Moscow on fire. By now it was late fall,
and winter set in with heavy snows and sub zero temperatures, which was a heavy blow to
Napoleon's Army, who were now on severe rations. They started to return home and floundered through deep snow and bitter temperatures and forced to eat anything to stay alive."

Settlers of Present Day Ottawa
4 April 2017
Wright, Philemon
REF; 'The Wrights' City of Ottawa Archives, 929.2097122 EVA
This book is a genealogy of the Wright family and other families
who settled in present day Gatineau/Hull starting in 1800,[7 March]
Written by Patrick MO Evans. List of first settlers on page 27
and contains important info in the notes on this page.
Dictionary of Canadian Biography http://www.biographi.ca
In Volume VII there is a 4 page write-up on Wright, Philemon
"colonizer, farmer, businessman, militia officer and politician;
b. 3 Sept. 1760 in Woburn, Mass., son of Thomas Wright,
a farmer and Elizabeth Chandler; m. 1782 Abigail Wyman,
had nine children; d. 3 June 1839 in Hull, Lower Canada.[Quebec]"
Ottawa Citizen Canada 150: The Capital Builders
Monday 9 Jan. 2017 page A7
Philemon Wright and his fellow settlers were the first to settle in what
I refer to as modern Ottawa. There are a few individual settlers after
them and will list what little info I have. This is leading towards the
Richmond Military Settlement, who are previously listed above in years
2015 [Military] and 2016/17[civilians]. FYI, next year, 2018 is the
bi-centennial of this settlement, These above listings mention the settlers
but many of them left not long after settling. I am trying to determine
where those settlers went to.??? happy hunting Jim
