    1. Re: [SHANNON-L] Re: Shannons from the Peter Robinson Settlement
    2. Hi Sue Wilson Faubert, the name of the book you inquired about is called "Peter Robinson's Settlers," 1823-1825, by Carol Bennett. In 1823 and 1825, groups of impoverished people from the south of Ireland were brought to the Upper Canada under the leadership of the Hon. Peter Robinson. They settled in the District of Bathurst in the Ottowa Valley and in the Peterborough area. Carol Bennett has documented the events which led up to this emigration, and she has looked at each family to see what became of them. The book includes stories of the settlers, events in which the families took part, and profiles of prominent descendants. It gives the names and ages of husband, wife and children. It's a great handbook for genealogists. There are many helpful hints for those researching these families. The book is printed & bound in Canada & put out by: Juniper Books; R.R.2,Renfrew, Ontario, K7V 3Z5, Canada It's really a great informative book.
