Nepean Canada 1851 Census

1851 Canada West,   Ontario Province,   Carleton County, Nepean Twp.

McGill, Patrick   age at next bday 70 yrs.,   Farmer,   b.   Ireland,   Roman Catholic  
   "     , Mary     age 37, Farmer, B. Ireland, Roman Catholic  
   ",   John Sullivan, Laborer,   age   15   b.   Nepean
   ",   Bridget Jane, age 7   b. Nepean
   ", Patrick D., age 1 b. Nepean
 pg. 2
States that Patrick McGill (age 70) and Mary McGill ( age 37) were married.  They live in a one story "Log House".   Some others in the area live in "Log Shanty".     
[My note:    Since our gt grandpa Daniel Patrick was born that year, 1851, and listed as Patrick D. McGill,   I am going to accept Patrick McGill the elder as the father of this family.   He would have died in the next 3 - 4 yrs, as Mary and the children migrated to Iowa by 1855.   Many Irish Immigrant families came first to Ontario and to Iowa by 1855.]
