Father Murphy's records on Tobin/Murphy

Notes on John Tobin

I was told that the original name of Tobin was St. Aubyn, when they were Normans.
He was on the Ship "Fortitude that left from Cork Ireland with the Peter Robinson Settlers, destination was Douro, Peterborough, Ontario. There they were given land and they resided at:
E Lot 10, con 3, Douro
info per The Book Peter Robinson Settlers, by Carol Bennett, page 153

Notes on Thomas and Jane Tobin

Thomas died while cutting trees. Another man was also cutting trees when the other mans tree fell on Thomas Tobin.  Jane's husband had a tree fall on his and died. Jane was with child at the time.
According to Canadian English law, the eldest son inherits 2/3's of the fathers estate. This left Jane with 1/3 and a large family to support. Some time after this, Jane married a Mr. Dawson.

Mr. Dawson had died in Canada.
Jane lived with daughter Ellen for a while, then after Mr. Dawson's death, her son Ned had established himself in New York State and Jane moved in with him until her death.
per Clare McHale's notes.

Notes on Mary Tobin

Info from Margaret Morgan: She went to live with her sister Ellen when her mother married Mr. Dawson. This was not due to the marriage but because Mary could help with Ellen's large family.
Per letter from James A. May, Grandmother May (Mary Tobin) spoke Gaelic or at least a language she said was Gaelic.
Moved to IA in 1858, per Bill Byers
Mary died at the home of Gertrude May Cooney.
Jim Tobins notes:
1880 Census, Town of Ackley, Hardin Co., Iowa; Age on 1 June 1880 40
Joseph A. KENNY has born 1840, married about 1856 in Peterborough and died 1917 in Mitchell, Davison Co., S. Dakota and buried? (Fact) in 1917 in Ackley, Iowa
Margaret MORGAN states that she always understood that Mary TOBIN May lived in Mitchell with some of her brothers.
Mary's grandson remembered that Mary used to speak something she called Gaelic when she was angry.
Mary worked as a cook for the railroad after Timothy died. - Margaret MORGAN.
Census of 1910, South Dakota, Davison, Mitchell Township, #134, p 3/23 has age 70, widow, living with D. J. COONEY family, b. Canada, both parents b. Ireland, able to read and write.
