    Hughes family history and emigration.

    Patrick Hughes and his two sisters, Ellen & Susannah came to Canada from Armagh Co., Ireland in the 1840's. They arrived at Perth, Lanark Co, where they did farm and domestic work. Patrick and Ellen married Anne and James Legary another sister and brother combination of French Canadian descent. The Irish and French marriages were common as they held the same Roman Catholic religion. Although the majority of Irish are Catholics, however, most Hughes are Protestants. So the RC faith of this Hughes branch adds a particular characteristic to their history. Apparently the change of faith took place in Ireland.

    Patrick and his wife Anne (Legary) first rented a farm Lot 21, Con 12, Bathurst Twp near Playfairville, just a couple miles up the MIssissippi River from her parent's home near Balderson. A few years later they settled their own farm Lot 18, Con 1, North Sherbrooke Twp above the High Falls at Dalhousie Lake about 8 miles further up the Mississippi River. Patrick Hughes' sister Ellen and her husband James Legary also purchased a farm nearby. Susannah never married. They all spent the rest of their lives in the community of Dalhousie Lake which had a post office until the late 1940's.

    They are all buried in the Catholic cemetery beside St. Columbkill Church, McDonald's Corners. The first grave in this cemetery was the interment of Patrick Hughes. Gravestones were erected in their memory to mark the plots in the churchyard.
