• Notes

  Oral history passed down through the Rainy River branch of Craigens (Osters?) Ellen was previously married to a man named Thomas Culhane before her marriage to Patrick Craigen, and had two daughters and one son by Culhane. (*name appears to have been JOHN Culhane, not Thomas*) This might explain why Ellen appears to have been a couple of years older than Patrick Craigen. John Craigen of Rainy River, when filling out his father Dennis Craigen's death certificate, said Dennis' mother's maiden name was Ellen Culhane, not O'Neil. However, no trace of any such Culhanes have been uncovered by this author in Ontario or in Oregon Territory, where said children are believed to have moved very early (1840s-1850s). However, in later generations (1890s say), people from families in Lennox & Addington County, including extended family of the Craigens, did move to Oregon and Washington State for logging jobs. In the parish registers for Ballylongford, there is a John Culhane and Ellen Neil couple, the following three entries are probably the two girls and one son referenced in the oral history: Margaret Culhane born at Leanamore in 1831; Catherine Culhane born at Leanamore 1833, and Patrick Collins [sic?] born at Ballylongford, 1836 (his bap. sponsors were Dermot Kennelly and Mary Kennelly). A crown land grant for Lots 4 and 5 in Con 5 in Anglesea Township was issued in Ellen Craigen's name, independently of her husband, dated July 31, 1869. (according to abstract index books for that township) Anglesea Twp deed book deed no 108 (FHL Film # 198,083) registered 21 June 1888 dated 17 Nov 1886 Ellen Craigen of Anglesea Twp wife of Patrick to Daniel Hunt of Anglesea Twp consideration $ 200 99 acres Lots 4 and 5 in Con 5 Ellen Craigen makes her mark; wits Neil Hunt and Albert Crabtree sign; executed at Anglesea Twp, sworn at Anglesea Twp Anglesea Twp deed book deed no 110 (FHL Film # 198,083) registered 15 Feb 1889 dated 4 July 1888 Patrick Craigan and Ellen Craigan (wife) to Daniel Hunt of Anglesea Twp consideration $260 Lots 4 and 5 in Con 5 and Lot 7 in Con 4 Patrick Creagan signs, Ellen Creigan makes mark, Daniel Hunt signs; witness Dennis Guina farmer of Anglesea (signs) sworn at Cloyne 4 Feb 1889.
