Ottawa at 200 years and on

6 June 2019.

Today has a lot of History.
Today is known as D-Day the beginning of the end to WW11.
There is lots of info on TV and I will not detail any.
Also, in today's Ottawa Citizen there is a full page add [page A5] informing
readers that today is the 100th Anniversary of creating the CN railway.
I grew up with this railway in Capreol, Ont., a terminal of the railway
where the lines from Toronto and Ottawa/Montreal joined on their way
to Vancouver.

Settlers,
There are three  sons of early settlers who left when the were 'grown-up'
They went to Brant Twp/Bruce County and took land just south of
 Owen Sound.
William James Garland, born 1826 in Carleton County settled
Lots 20 and 21 Concession A
George Keys [In 1901 Census  listed as born 1 March 1826,
 Line 9, Fam 31, A4, page 4, Bruce Co., Brant Twp.]
settled Lots 23 and 23 just north of Wm. Garland's lots

I found the above two settlers when looking in book 1. below.
1. History of Brant Twp. 1854-1979, page 133-134
2. Early History of Eden Grove and Vicinity.
  On page 85 there is a settler in my extended  family,
Joseph Stansal.   He settled in Brant Twp. Con.A, Lot 25,
which is only a few lots north of Wm. and George. So they probably knew
each other. Joseph's surname was mis-spelled by the clerk who   recorded
land transactions. The long and short of this that Joseph adopted this name
and that family still lives with that name.  More later

Ottawa at 200 years an on

I wish to list the details of the 100th and 99th Regiments, settlers of Richmond.
 Most of this will be known and I'll detail;
The 100th regiment was raised in Ireland in 1804 and sailed to Canada in 1805.
Was involved in the war of 1812.
The 95th Regiment and a part of the 60th regiment were moved into the Rifle Brigade
The powers that be, Horse Guards, did not like a gap in  regiment numbering.
So the old 96th became the 95th and so on. the 100th became the 99th Regiment.
This happened in February 1816. Anyways most of these regiments would soon
be disbanded. There is a web site which lists this info and much more.
Web site is  bytown.net/richmond_ms.htm
One of the items is 'Re-numbering regiments in 1816'. A good read.
This may be a better website.

Next, I have info on three settlers in Brant Twp/Bruce County. They are sons of
original settlers in Richmond Military Settlement who moved after 1850.
One is in my extended family and the other two are William James Garland,
b. 1826 and George Keys, a cousin of W.J. Garland
