Ed wrote:

I believe that the Tobins of Northern Bay are descended from

PATRICK and JUDITH KEEFE TOBIN of Goran, Co. Kilkenny, Ireland.

Their children were:

Richard Tobin who wed Mary Hogan of Northern Bay

James Tobin, who wed Sally Brennan of Western Bay

and had a daughter named Judith.

He is said to have moved to Prince Edward Island

Michael Tobin who moved to Thorold, Welland Co., Ontario.

Ed also wrote that Patrick married twice. The second marriage was to Ann

Foley, the widow of William Foley.

Patrick may have died before 1832 because he is not listed on the 1832

Voters List.

William and Anne Foley (Fowlow) were early settlers in Northern Bay. They had

two daughters: Margaret who married Terrance McNamara and Anne who married

John Hinchey, then Lawrence Mullaly. Anyway, that is how the

Hincheys/Mullalys/Tobins are connected.

After William Foley died, his widow Anne married Patrick Tobin Sr.

(Ed said: I found a marriage in 1822 for a PATRICK TOBIN

to ANNE FOLEY, widow of William Foley.)

In 1824, there was a court case launched by Patrick Tobin over William

Foley's land (against the administrators William Hogan and John Cummins).

It is very interesting to note that someone has stolen those court

records from the archives. Some of the land is still in dispute,

even now. Someone went to the provincial archives and

stole all the papers relating to this case.

Notes for Richard Francis Tobin

Lived at 52 Pleasant St., North Sydney. Seems that he was based in Channel

Newfoundland, St. Pierre, and North Sydney.

The following appeared in the North Sydney Newspaper under the heading:

Thrilling Escape from Death - Forty-eight hours in the Rigging of a Sunken

Vessel, then Rescued by Life Lines.

North Sydney, Nova Scotia, May 8, 1895: Capt. R.H. Tobin of North Sydney, has

arrived home, having lost his schooner, the Freddie Walter, on the Penguin

Islands, which consist of 22 rocks about ten miles from the rock bound coast,

where many a good ship and crew have met their fate. Capt. Tobin left St.

Pierre on the 19th ult. for this port in ballast. The following Tuesday

morning, a heavy breeze from the southwest came up. The pumps got choked.

They headed for Burgo. She was then about 80 miles from St. Pierre. The

weather became too thick to make Burgo; wore ship again; the pumps being now

free, and the course shaped for Miquelon. The wind veered southerly,

increasing to a gale, the foresail was carried away and the storm trisail was

bent in its stead. The foresail was repaired and set and the captain went down

in his cabin to take his position. While examining his charts, he heard his

crew shout "breakers". He at once rushed on deck and grabbed the helm and put

it to port. He was just a minute too late, for the vessel struck on the

western end of the rocks. The Captain shouted to stand by the ship. One poor

fellow, Thomas Power of Placentia Nfld. jumped for the rock and was not seen

afterwards. Two others jumped and landed safely on the rock. The vessel

lurched off the rock and began to sink rapidly, and about half a mile further

down a break was seen in the rocks into which she was driven. She sank to the

sheer poles, and the captain and another man took to the rigging, where they

remained for forty-eight hours. She struck at 10.30 a. m. on Tuesday the 23rd

ult. The first night they were in the rigging, the bottom was knocked out of

the vessel. Some fishing boats took the men off with difficulty. If the wind

8


had not subsided the men on the rock would have been washed away. As it was

they were hauled through the water to the fishing boats with the aid of life

lines and were greatly exhausted. Published in the Newfoundland Ancestor, 21/1/046.

The Census of 1901 lists his wife as a Widow so he died before March 1901.

Oral history: His daughter Mary Elizabeth cared for him for the last seven years of his life. Where?

Notes for Honora Catherine Dooley "Nora"

Note about her date of birth: Date of Birth on the record (10 Sep 1849) is

from her Baptism Record. A Census record indicates a date of birth

of 10 Sept. 1849. The 1901 Census record indicates her year of birth was 1852.

Automated Census of 1901:

Tobin Hanorah K. F Head W Sep 10 1852 48

Tobin Mary Elizabeth F Daughter S May 21 1874 26

Tobin John Francis M Son S Aug 21 1882 18

Tobin Perci James M Son S Nov 6 1885 15

Tobin Josephine B. F Daughter S Sep 10 1886 14

Her marriage record indicates that she

was 10 years younger than Richard. Oral history indicates

that she was 18 when my grandfather William Richard

was born. She was nearly 21.

Her death certificate of August 26, 1932 lists her as Hanora C

living at St. Theresa's Retreat 300 Barrington in Halifax. The

informant was Sister Loretta Tobin, her daughter.

Obituary was in the Antigonish CASKET. Date of death in the Casket

was August 26, 1932. St. Joseph Parish record indicates that she died

on November 13, 1932. I used the death certificate and the Casket date!

Children of Richard Francis Tobin and Honora Catherine Dooley "Nora" were as follows:

+ 32 i William Richard4

Tobin "WR", born 27 Aug 1870 in Argentia, Newfoundland; christened 1870 in

Hill), North Sydney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. Notes: Graduated from Mount Saint

Joseph's Young Women's Academy in North Sydney. The Academy was founded by the Sisters of

Charity of Halifax in 1883. She planned to enter the convent right out of the Academy. According to

my mother, her aunt Mary lived at home and helped her mother care for her father during his at least

seven year illness that probably ended in 1901. In her 30s, she finally entered the Sisters of Charity of

Halifax on 6 Sept 1903. She entered her Novitiate on 8 Dec. 1903. She professed her first vows on 8

Dec. 1905 and she professed her permanent vows on 15 Aug. 1913. Her Appointments were: St.

World War I where she met her husband, a wounded soldier. We saw her infrequently due to the

distance! But we loved visiting her and using her apartment for a base for New York City adventures.

iii. Mary married Augustine Baker of Edward from Marystown, NL and died young. Her two children Patrick age 10 and

Sheila age 9 were living with their grandparents Maurice & Bridget) at Lamaline in the 1935 census. It appears Augustine

was a widower living with his father in Marystown in the 1921 census.

v. Bridget not listed in 1921 census.

x. Lillian not in 1921 census.

xi. Vincent married Agnes Mary Clark of Ignatius Clark and Mary Coady from Little St. Lawrence, NL. He died 02

March 1990.

Notes:

1. It does not necessarily mean that the people not listed in the 1921 census had died, they may have moved away from

home. More work has to be done on these records.

2. I noticed that in addition to Mary's children living with M & B at the 1935 census, Leo and Vince were still living at

home and listed as single.

3. The dates listed above are baptism dates, the birth date was rarely shown on the records. It seems the children were

baptized at the earliest opportunity, sometimes day of birth, sometimes weeks or months later. It depended on the travels

of the parish priest.

32. William Richard4

Tobin "WR" (Richard Francis3

, Richard2

, Patrick1

), born 27 Aug 1870 in Argentia, Newfoundland;

christened 1870 in Channel, Newfoundland; died 14 Dec 1922 in Glace Bay, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada; buried

17 Dec 1922 in Holy Cross, North Sydney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. He married on 12 Sep 1900 in St

Joseph's, North Sydney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada Mary Ann Camus "Nan", born 12 Nov 1870 in North

Sydney (Sydney Mines) , Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada; died 1 Nov 1917 in Glace Bay, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia,

Canada; buried 4 Nov 1917 in Holy Cross, North Sydney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada, daughter of Martin

Adolphe Camus "Adolph Cames" and Lucy Boutilier.

Notes for William Richard Tobin "WR"

According to my aunt May Tobin, William (aka WR) was born in Argentia, Newfoundland. As she

told it, her grandparents were returning via their boat to their home in Channel

from visiting family in eastern Newfoundland when great grandmother went into labor.

They landed in Argentia Newfoundland where my Aunt May claimed that WR was born.

Grandfather listed Channel as his birthplace on official documents.

I have a copy of his Baptismal Certificate from Channel.

WR and his sister Mary Elizabeth were the only children born in Newfoundland.

The rest of the children were born in North Sydney.

WR attended Dalhousie until he was 20. I think he left to join the service and

I think that he was a veteran of the Boer War in South Africa and maybe even

saw action in South Africa. (I can't confirm it!) His grave in

Holy Cross Cemetery in North Sydney has a marker for the United

Empire Service League which indicates that he spent some time in the service.

After leaving Dalhousie he read for the Bar. On October 5, 1893, the CASKET

reported that he passed his Law Exams.

On July 23, 1895, the CASKET reported that he took the FINAL Law Exams.

On Sept. 19, 1895, the CASKET reported that he passed the FINAL Law Exams.

On October 24, 1895, the CASKET reported that he was admitted to the Bar on

October 17, 1895.

In 1896, he advertised that he was a Barrister - Solicitor - Attorney at Law -

Conveyancer practicing across from the Hotel Vendome in North Sydney.

21


In North Sydney, he was a Councilor.

Sometime about 1901 - 1902, he moved to Glace Bay. I'm speculating that

Grandfather wanted to move on because Glace Bay was starting to boom,

because he and his wife had lost their first child, a son (buried in Old St.

Joseph's) and because his father died about 1900 - 1901.

In 1902, he was a member of the Glace Bay Rugby Team, the championship team.

He was an Alderman in Glace Bay.

He was the town solicitor.

He was a Commissioner (an appointed member) of the Glace Bay School Board.

In 1907, he was visiting his mother at her Archbold St North Sydney home when he noticed fire coming from St.

Joseph's Catholic Church on Convent St. According to my aunt, grandfather raced to the church and saved the sacred

vessels.

Mother and my aunt always thought that his death in 1922 was sudden. In reality,

he died of a heart condition that had been diagnosed about a year before.

He was stricken in the Court Room and taken to his home (on the way to

St. Joseph's Hospital in Glace Bay). He died before he reached the hospital.

Interestingly, the Death Certificate and Dooley Funeral Home records indicate that

Grandfather was born in North Sydney in March 1870. (The Dooley record

was the source of the Death Certificate.) I think that the oral history was correct and

have always used it.

Notes for Mary Ann Camus "Nan"

In the Diocese of Antigonish database, for her marriage to WR Tobin her surname was recorded as Cames.

Children of William Richard Tobin "WR" and Mary Ann Camus "Nan" were as follows:

133 i Douglas Anselm5

Tobin, born 1901; died 1901 in North Sydney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada;

buried in Old St. Joseph's (Goat Hill), North Sydney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. Notes:

Douglas Anselm is buried with his grandfather Tobin.

134 ii Mary Aloysia5

Tobin "May", born 22 Jun 1902 in Glace Bay, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada;

christened 29 Jun 1903 in St Anne's, Glace Bay, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada; died 25 Dec

1985 in Halifax, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada; buried 28 Dec 1985 in Holy Cross, North Sydney,

Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. Notes: May Tobin was the true genealogist of the North Sydney

Tobins. When she was twelve, she was inoculated against diseases that were brought back to Canada

by returning soldiers. As a result of an allergic reaction to the inoculation, May was left almost

totally visually impaired. Within ten years, she lost both parents while being educated at Mount Saint

Vincent in Halifax. Financial difficulties due to the death of her father, forced May to leave the

Mount and live at the School for the Blind in Halifax. From there, she completed her Normal School

education. She taught French at the School for the Blind for over 40 years. She completed her

career in Middle Musquoduobit. May established a three year cycle of: a summer of school, a

summer with my family, a summer of travel to wonderful places - the world capitals in Europe, the

22


shrines in Europe, shrines in Ireland, major cities in Canada and the USA. Her last international trip

in the early 1980s was to Australia and Fiji. May taught me French. I was so fluent that I took 2

years of High School French in the same year. Her Christmases and other holidays were normally

spent either with Ted and Nonie Lohnes or with the MacIntyres in Halifax. (Nonie was a Tobin first

cousin and they traveled together after Ted died.) When she finally retired after 50 years of teaching,

she retired with her Normal School Certificate, a Bachelors, and enough credits for a Masters. Not

long after she retired, she was unable to read. She had readers and writers - she still corresponded

with a legion of friends. At my urging, she wrote the oral history on both of my parents' families. May

was the best family genealogist that I have ever been exposed to. Her oral histories were amazingly

accurate. After she retired from teaching, she retired to St. Patrick's Manor in Halifax. She died there

on Christmas Day, 1985. Source: Joe Petrie

135 iii Loretta Elizabeth5

Tobin "Ethel", born 7 Mar 1904 in Glace Bay, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia,

Canada; christened 13 Mar 1904 in St Anne's, Glace Bay, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada; died

22 Jan 1979 in Dedham, Norfolk, Massachusetts, USA; buried 25 Jan 1979 in Mount St. Benedict,

Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, USA. Notes: My mother was born in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia. Mom

was christened at St. Anne's in Glace Bay. Because of her mother's illness (breast cancer), Mom was

sent to Mount Saint Vincent Academy in Halifax as a teenager. She graduated in 1921 at age 17.

After she graduated in 1921 she attended Mount Saint Vincent College. She also began reading for

the Bar. The game plan was to join her father i n his law firm when she graduated from college in

1924. In 1922, when her father passed away, she was a sophomore at Mount St. Vincent College.

She completed the year and returned to Glace Bay to teach at St. Anne's. She taught at St. Anne's

until 1926. During her summer vacations from 1922 to 1925, she worked for the Dominion Coal

Company in Glace Bay. In 1926, because of the miner's strike, Mom left Glace Bay to work in

Boston for the summer-time. She stayed in Boston. Mom met Leo Petrie, from Dominion, married

him and had 5 pregnancies. In 1936, the Petrie family moved to Dedham where she raised her 3 sons.

On January 16, 1939. she was naturalized under the name of Loretta Elizabeth Petrie. Soon after

Mom changed her legal name to Ethel T. Petrie. In 1946, after I started school, Mom returned to

work. She had a variety of jobs. She was a bookkeeper and clerk at Rosen's Hardware. She was a

bookkeeper and clerk at North American Aluminum. She was a partner at Atlantic Aluminum. She

was a clerk at Tobe Deutchmann Electronics. She was a cashier at Stop and Shop. She was a

bookkeeper at the Dedham Transcript and at Ziegler's Market. In addition, she was a substitute

teacher in the Dedham school system. Also, she demonstrated consumer products for two

manufacturers at local retail grocery stores. She also taught at home - private tutoring neighbor's

children and her kids. It was a pro bono, volunteer activity which she loved. Our house was always

full of relatives and friends. Often, we kids would go to bed and wake up the next day on couches

because our parents needed beds for guests to sleep in. My Mom's sister stayed with us every third

summer. Molly Petrie stayed with us every January and April! Many of Mom's Cape Breton Dooley

and Tobin cousins often visited. In the 1950s, Mom became active in the local chapter of the Mount

Saint Vincent's Alumnae Association. For over two decades she served as President or as another

officer in the chapter. Hobbies: Playing cards, teaching her 10 grandchildren to play cards, ironing,

crossword puzzles. reading novels, and writing poetry. Mom died in her sleep of a stroke. Source: Joe

Notes for John Francis Tobin

Where do I start to write about Uncle John!

Uncle John worked in the retail and wholesale food business most of his adult

life. In North Sydney, he worked in the family and his business. (His father operated

a Schooner between Channel, North Sydney and Miquelon-St. Pierre. His father also

24


appeared to be based in Miquelon and Channel. Newfoundland.)

On Nov 7, 1923, his family crossed the border at Vanceboro Maine on their way to Boston.

The move was long planned - discussed with his friends and family for at least a year.

Uncle John was employed by the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company (A&P).

He was a Store Manager and eventually moved to the regional headquarters on

Atlantic Avenue in Boston. After he retired from the A&P, he worked part-time

as a salesman for Statler Tissue Company, a manufacturer of paper napkins,

paper towels etc.

While I was in high school, because I used to visit him and Aunt Agatha in

their home in Watertown, I had a special relationship with them. Until I saw

him on his death bed, I had never seen him without a starched shirt and a tie.

Because Mom worked part-time for him at Statler and because I often travelled

with Mom and he when he had her working as a "Demonstrator" for him in a store

Manchester NH, I'd stay at St. Anselm College with other relatives of the

priests. I probably knew him best!

Our family was a frequent visitor to their house in Somerville and in

Watertown. I suspect that the family dreaded seeing our family arrive because

we three boys were hellions. I thought that the Watertown house was great

because one could see Oakley Golf Course.

Uncle John occasionally had the chore of burying his siblings. It took a

special person to attend to all the details. He buried my grandfather and his

sister Josephine (Aunt Josie).

After Aunt Agatha died, Uncle John lived with his daughter Tippi.

Children of John Francis Tobin and Catherine Agatha MacIsaac "Agatha" were as follows:

139 i Pierce John5

Tobin "Fr. Ben", born 12 Sep 1919 in North Sydney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia,

25


Canada; died 21 Mar 1984 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, USA; buried 24 Mar 1984 in St

Leander's Cemetery, St. Anselm Abbey, Bedford, Hillsborough, New Hampshire, USA. Notes:

Father Benedict J. Tobin, OSB was a Benedictine priest at St. Anselm Abbey in Bedford, NH. Father

Ben was named Pierce after his granduncle Pierce (who in turn as was the Irish custom was probably

named for his grandfather). At a very early age, Father Ben rebelled at being called Percy and

announced that he wanted to be called Jackie. He attended school in North Sydney, Somerville, and

at Boston College High School in Boston. He went on to Boston College from BC High. After 2 years

at Boston College, he left to enter the priesthood. He graduated from St. Anselm College in

Manchester NH. Jackie always wanted to become a priest and applied for the Jesuits while at Boston

College. He was not accepted - too many applicants and not enough facilities. One day that summer,

he gave two Nuns a ride and in the conversation one remarked that he should try the Benedictines at

St. Anselm Monastery in Manchester NH. He and two friends applied, were accepted, professed

vows together, and were ordained together in Manchester NH on May 30. 1946. His first Solemn

Mass was on June 9, 1946. Father Ben took the vow of Stability, forever linking him to St. Anselm

Abbey. During the period before his ordination, he took assignments in New Jersey along with other

monks of St. Anselm. Ben and Fathers Justin Mahoney, Jeremiah Ahearn, Andrew Lavallee, Felix

Pepin, Charles Tucke monks of Saint Anselm, all became much loved confreres in both Newark and

Morristown. He did graduate work in the Classics in Canada and taught Latin at St. Anselm College

from the 40s into the 60s. He also did part-time parish work in New Hampshire. One year he built an

out-door skating rink at St Anselm College. (The site is where the Library Building was built.) In the

1960s, he took parish assignments in Louisiana and in Iowa. After completing the parish assignments,

he lived with his sister's family in Massachusetts - because the new Abbot thought that he had

renounced his vow of Stability and permantly left the Benedictine Order. After he returned to the

Abbey, he was a frequent guest at my parents' house. After my Dad died, because Mom did not

drive, he and my Mom were frequently transported to St. Mary's in Dedham for him to say Mass by

friends. Father Ben and Mom even used the Senior Citizen Bus for transportation for him to say

Mass. In the latter part of his life, he was frequently hospitalized in Boston at St. John of God

Hospital and St. Elizabeth's Hospital. For the last few years of his adult life, he probably spent more

time in Boston hospital than at the Monastery. Father Benedict died in Boston and is buried in St.

Leander's Cemetery at St. Anselm's Abbey in Bedford, New Hampshire. Father Ben never became a

naturalized US citizen. Source: Joe Petrie, AB, St. Anselm's College, Class of 1961

140 ii Loretta Lucille5

Tobin, born 10 Aug 1921 in North Sydney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada; died

9 Feb 1974. Notes: My first memory of Lucille was meeting her after she returned to civilian life

after serving in the US Navy during WW II. She met Stan when she was in her forties and they lived

in New York and Pennsylvania.

141 iii Teresita Aloysia5

Tobin, born 30 Oct 1924 in Somerville, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA; died 19

Jun 2007 in North Dartmouth, Bristol, Massachusetts, USA. Notes: Tippi was a cousin that everyone

loved to be around. She was talented - sang, danced played musical instruments etc. She met her

husband Jim, a teacher in Boston, when he was entertaining at a restaurant. They met rather late in

both the lives. They had 3 children, their two boys had learning disabilities. Tippi's attitude was that

God sends Special People only to Special People!

Acknowledgements:

Family, Relatives, Friends and Fellow Genealogists:

Your generosity with your records is really appreciated. Any errors that remain are mine.

I owe a lot to my late Aunt Mary A. Tobin of Glace Bay and Halifax. Despite being extremely visually impaired, her

passion for genealogy helped her to pass on an impressive amount of research.

Special thanks to Ed Chafe, CG. In addition to being a certificated genealogist, Ed is an author and a teacher. I am an on-

line genealogy person who proudly has two of Ed’s books. He has shared an extensive amount of information.

Also, special thanks to the following cousins for sharing massive amounts of their research on their Hogan branches:

Sister Joan Butler, Arthur J. Doyle, Leo McCann, Jim McCarthy, and Matt Mullaly. Leo McCann provided an enormous

amount of vital input on church and cemetery records that he collected. Leo also pointed out lots of my errors. Arthur

contributed most of the Doyle input. Matt provided lots of Northern Bay information.

Finally, my cousins Violet Pike Fitzpatrick and Agnes McCarthy Ebbs provided information on their families. Agnes invited

us back to Northern Bay for a house tour of my great, great grandparents’ house.

Web Sites:

Newfoundland Grand Banks for Parish Information, Voters Lists, Directories and other Census Substitutes;

Ancestry Library for Censuses, Immigration, Passenger Manifests, Naturalizations, and Vital Information with access to

source documents, (I am comfortable with the software especially because most Canadian Libraries have access to it);

Automated Census of Canada for 1851, 1852, 1901 and 1911 Censuses (lots of Newfoundlanders moved to other

provinces);

Heritage Quest On-Line for US Census information (I prefer it to Ancestry Library because it is friendlier);

AmericanAncestors.org for Massachusetts Vital Information;

CBGEN.org for Obituaries, Cemetery records, Funeral Home records, Church Censuses, Parish records and lots more;

Family Search for Vital Information and access to source documents;

FamilySearch for images of source records;

FamilySearch Collections List and FamilySearch Community Trees for Antigonish Catholic Diocese records, principally for

birth, marriage and christening information (I prefer Collections List because the Search forms are friendlier);

Novascotiagenealogy for Birth, Marriage, Death and Burial records; and finally

Canadiana.
