Powell, William Richardson, John Spearman, John, James, and Nicholas
Shouldice, Samuel and Thomas Stanley, and Robert Young. Some lived
elsewhere for a few years before coming to Carleton County: William
Burton was in P!ontreal for sor;:e years, and Thomas, son of the Thonas
Delahunt whc came on the "Brunswick", cane much later from Montreal.
William Ilooney, a servant to Richard Talbot's son John, and Samuel
Long also came after a few years elsewhere. Friends followed friends
and kin followed kin until by 1852 there were about 150 family units
in western Carleton County from north Tipperary, western Kings County,
and the border areas of Limerick an2 Galway. They settled mostly in
the Carp Valley from a mile or two east of Hazeldean northwestwards
to Pakenham.'
The following fanilies from this part of Ireland are corrnernorated
in the cemeteries covered by this publication: Abbott, Acres, Ardell,
Boucher, Burton, Butler, Clarke, Colbert, Corbett, Grant, Fardy, Hobbs,
Hodqins, Morgan, Morris, Mooney, Ralph, Richardson, Shouldice, Wall,
and Young.

in Carleton County. In November 1817 the Church of Ireland (Anglican)
rector of New Ross sent to the Colonial Office lists of 71G Protestant
and 281 Roman Catholic families from Cos. Carl w, Wexford, Wicklow,
and Kilkenny who wished to emigrate to Canada.' It appears that
those vho did come did so without government assistance. Of the many
Protestant families who came tc eastern Ontario from thls part of
Ireland, the following are represented in Hazeldean's cemeteries:
Bradley (several families, the Goulbourn ones from Wexford, the
Nepean fanlily from Kilkenny), Burroughs, Eagleson, Flewellyn, Garland,
Hand, Kinch, James, Kidd, Rathwell, Scharf, Shore, Wynne, and probably
Kenny and Kernp.

The Cemete-

This publication deals with the four local cemeteries that have
served the Hazeldean community. In common with the rest of rural
Ontario, the first burials were often made on the homesteads, some of
these plots in time growing to become community graveyards. Three of
the four ccmeteries included herein are of this type. The Scharf
Cemetery, dating from 1832, served friends and neighbours of the Scharf
