A Release of Protestant Families Preparing to Emigrate from the Counties of Carlow And

A Release of Protestant families preparing to emigrate from the counties of Carlow and Wexford in the insuing Spring — dated (New) Ross, 29th November 1817
These lists of Protestant and Roman Catholic emigrants from counties Carlow and Wexford intending to emigrate to British America (via Quebec) list only the head-of-household, with the numbers of persons within each family group. The lists were compiled at the end of November 1817 and indicated the intention of those entered, to sail in the Spring of 1818 . . . as of that date. Some may have decided against emigration and others may have decided to be included. The condition of the filmed lists make some names difficult to decipher (eg. folds in paper) but every endeavour has been made to accurately record the names. The names are extracted as found and are not in alphabetical order, however related groups appear to be listed in close proximity. The "search in page" feature in your browser can be used, but be aware of spelling variations.
All the men were listed as Farmers with a few additionally listed as Mechanics, so the occupation column has been omitted. Any other occupation will be noted in the name field. The field indicating number of family members accompanying will be headed with the letter F and the names are grouped in "10s" to help differentiate between identical names.
Be aware, that a few families appear to be recorded on both the Protestant and Roman Catholic lists, for example:—James Rynehart with 11, James Downey with 18, Abm Miller with 6, Miles Keegan with 9, Luke Molton with 7 and some others.
Protestant families |
The Protestant families of whom this list is composed are Remarkably sober, Industrious and well conducted, can procure the Most satisfactory recommendations and have generally some of their branches numbers of yoemanry [sic] corps, many of these families possess considerably more [prospect] than sufficient to remove them and are fixed in their determination of joining those relatives and friends who have so happily settled in Upper Canada upon lands granted by the British Government within these last two years.
Many other Protestant families of most respectable character, tho' unable to bear the expense of a removal are unsettling themselves under [this] idea of being assisted with a free passage to British America and anxiously look forward to being informed if their hopes on this subject shall be realized. Most of the men of these families capable of bearing arms in the Rebellion of 1798, were actively employed in the defence of their country and proved at the risque [sic] of their lives an unalterable attachment to the Government under which the[y] enjoyed the blessings of Liberty.
