of this Family
This is an outline of the first 5 generations of this prolific family. The descendants of Simon and Catherine are spread across Canada and the United States, and it seems likely that some remain in Ireland as well. The women who have been researching this family have put in uncountable hours of work over a number of years, and deserve a great deal of appreciation. They have shared the results of their research with each other over the years. Now, it is with much gratitude to them all that we are able to publish this account of the family of Simon and Catherine. As with all family research, this work is not complete; there is always more to be done. Any additional information is welcome.
The information for this family was compiled from various original sources, abstracts and gleanings from various internet sources, and information from other Cummins researchers. All sources are documented in the individual notes. There may be inaccuracies or inconsistencies for which I apologize. Any additional information that may add to or enhance the information on this family would be most welcome. The only purpose for gathering and compiling this information is documentation of Cummins family history. No other purpose is intended or implied.
First Generation
1. Simon COMMINS was born in co Carlow,
IRL.
NOTES: Baptisms of daughter Bridget and son Andrew in parish register of RC parish of Borris, co Carlow, IRL, FHL British Film #926107. Residence given as
Ballyglisseen. The name is used interchangeably in the records as Commins
and Cummins. Many of the family have kept the Commins spelling,
and continue to use it to this day.
Our verified Commins' records go back to one Simon Commins, who was married before 1780 and to whom we may therefore assign a probable date of birth as some time in the 1750's. His wife was Catherine Ryan.
That Simon and Catherine were the parents of Rev. John Commins is verified by the records of the Archdioceses of Quebec. That Rev. John Commins was the brother of Matthew Commins is known to Matthew's descendants, and the relationship is expressly stated in Rev. John Commin's will.
The family comes from Inch, about five miles from the village of Borris, in the
civil Parish of St. Mullins, County Carlow, Ireland. At this time it is not known if the Cummins families still residing in Inch are related.
John and Matthew were not the only children of Simon and Catherine. The last will and testament of Rev. John Commins reveals the names of two nieces, Mrs. Kehoe and Mrs. Gleeson. Catherine Casey Kehoe's mother was Bridget (Commins) Casey and Mary Commins Gleeson's father was Walter Commins. It seems likely that another sister of Fr. John was Mary (Commins) Murphy. The baptismal record of Bridget and a son Andrew are recorded in the records of the Roman Catholic parish of Borris. Unfortunately there are a number of gaps in the parish records for those early years. It is unknown if there were other children of Simon who stayed in Ireland or migrated elsewhere.
The known children and grandchildren of Simon arrived in Charlotte County, New Brunswick and neighbouring Maine in the period 1820-1860.
Simon married Catherine RYAN. Catherine was born in co Carlow, IRL.
Simon and Catherine had the following children:
+ 2 M i. Matthew COMMINS was born about 1780. He died on 13 Nov 1868.
+ 3 M ii. Walter COMMINS
+ 4 F iii. Bridget COMMINS was christened on 22 Jan 1790.
+ 5 F iv. Mary COMMINS
6 M v. Rev. John COMMINS was born about 1797. He died on 29 Jul 1849 in Mill Town, Charlotte Co., New Brunswick, CAN.
NOTES: John was a Roman Catholic priest who emigrated to St. Stephen, New Brunswick, arriving in Canada in 1825.

"Vital Statistics From New Brunswick (Canada) Newspapers" Vol. 79, 9. History of St. Andrews R.C. Church, by Emily Donaghue - The first Catholic Church built at St. Andrews was erected in 1825, as the result of a visit of Father Mauricett, who visited St. Andrews in September, 1822. After celebration of mass, a meeting was held and Thomas Dunn, Peter Dunn, Henry O'Neill and John Lochary were named trustees of the proposed church....The first entry in the parochial records is the baptism of E.J. Carney under date of Dec. 23rd, 1827 by Father John Cummins, then in charge of the parish. The first interment in the cemetery was on March 15th, 1825 when Catherine Cavenagh was interred there. On Nov. 22nd, 1836, Rev. Father Vereker succeeded Father Cummins...
George McGowan and his mother, the late Pauline (Little) McGowan, compiled a history of the McGowans and their relatives in a Story called "Genealogy of John McGowan, Rollingdam, Truth and Tale." - The Parish of St. Andrews was erected under the Diocese of Quebec. The pastor first appointed to this extensive area was 27 year old Father John Commins from Carlow County, Ireland. His youthfulness must have been an asset, for the only way of reaching some parts of his parish was on horseback. This would have been his mode of travel on weekday trips to Rollingdam. It is recorded that he said Mass on November 23, 1836 in a house near McGuire's hill inhabited by a Catholic named Griffin. This was located near the C.P.R. station at the time. He celebrated mass occasionally at John Scullin's home on Greenock Road and at Paddy Scullin's above the railway.

Second Generation
2. Matthew COMMINS (Simon) was born about 1780 in Inch, parish of Borris, co Carlow, IRL. He died on 13 Nov 1868 in Mill Town, Charlotte Co., New Brunswick, CAN. He was buried in St Stephen, N.B.
NOTES: The Cummins family lived in Inch, in the parish of St. Mullins, co Carlow, IRL. From the Cummins Family Bible, Matthew and Margaret and two of their children, John and Catherine, sailed for Halifax, Nova Scotia, in April 1849. Matthew Commins's brother, John, was a priest in St. Stephen at the time of Matthew's arrival in the province. Previously, he had been stationed at St. Andrew's, and was, in fact, the first pastor there. Sadly, he died only a few weeks after his brother's arrival, on 29 July 1849. Father John left his farm on Little Ridge, Charlotte County, to his "dear brother Matthew." They arrived in Halifax on 1 June 1849, staying there for only three weeks, prior to dropping anchor off the coast of St. Stephen, New Brunswick, where they made their new home. The rest of their children followed later. Matthew and Margaret both died there.
In the baptism record of their children in the parish register of RC parish of Borris, co Carlow, IRL, FHL British Film #926107, his residence was given as Inch.
Info from "An Honourable Independence, the Irish Catholic Settlers of Johnville, Carleton County, New Brunswick," by William Patrick Kilfoil and Mary Kilfoil McDevitt.
DTH: as recorded in the Bible record of Family Deaths of his grandson John Commins, "Mathew Commins, 88, Died Nov. 13, 1868."
BUR: (Notes of Jan Austin) Matthew died on November 13, 1868. He is buried in Milltown, New Brunswick, with his wife, Margaret. Their tombstone was erected by their sons, Walter and John. It reads: "To the memory of our Father and Mother/ MATTHEW COMMINS, died Nov. 13, 1868, aged 88 years, A native of Inch, Parish of Borris, County of Carlow, Ireland; Also, his wife, MARGARET, died Oct. 14, 1852, aged 59 years, A native of Grange, Parish of Killann, County of Wexford.

+ 9 M ii. Simon COMMINS was born about 1820. He died on 18 Jan 1894.
10 M iii. Walter COMMINS was born about 1824 in co Carlow, IRL. He died on 19 Mar 1874 in Johnville, Carleton Co., New Brunswick, CAN.
NOTES: Info from "An Honourable Independence, the Irish Catholic Settlers of Johnville, Carleton County, New Brunswick," by William Patrick Kilfoil and Mary Kilfoil McDevitt. He was listed with his parents in the 1851 census of St. James Parish, Charlotte Co. He came with them to Johnville in the early 1860s. He was a farmer there until his death, and is buried in Johnville. He was not married.
Notes of MONICA TANNER: Bernadine Bohan told me in the summer of 2002 that Walter died of pneumonia after rolling logs down the river. He was only forty-nine when he died. His will made mention of his sister Johanna Ryan of Ontario. Walter may have immigrated to New Brunswick before his parents and siblings, most probably around 1848, as a Walter Commins is listed as baptismal sponsor (for relatives) in Charlotte County. He lived with his sister, Catherine Commins Bohan and her family in Bath, New Brunswick in the 1871 census.
DTH: as recorded in the Bible record of Family Deaths of his uncle by John Commins, "Walter Commins, 49, Died March 19th 1874."

+ 12 M v. John Francis COMMINS was born on 21 Dec 1831. He died on 25 Jul 1905.
13 M vi. Matthew COMMINS was born in co Carlow, IRL.
May have died in Ireland before the family came to Canada.
14 F vii. Margaret COMMINS was born in co Carlow,
IRL.
May have died in Ireland before the family came to Canada.
3. Walter CUMMINS (Simon).
NOTES: Baptism of children in parish register of RC parish of Borris, co Carlow, IRL, FHL British Film #926107. Residence given as Inch. Walter's marriage would have occurred at a time for which there is a gap in the Borris parish records, and therefore has not been found. This gap of time has also made it difficult to positively identify any other children. It seems possible that the Simon Cummins who was born about 1820 and married Eliza Fogarty in Borris in 1844, may have been his son, and this Simon named his eldest son Walter. However, there is no documentary evidence to support this theory at the present time.

Bridget married Patrick CASEY on 14 May 1805 in RC parish of Borris, Carlow, IRL.
They had the following children:
+ 22 F i. Catherine CASEY was born about 1808/1811. She died on 14 Jul 1887.
+ 23 F ii. Bridget CASEY was born in 1817. She died on 20 Mar 1894.
5. Mary CUMMINS (Simon).
No definite records have been located that would prove that Mary, the daughter of Simon and Catherine, was the Mary Cummins who married a Murphy and had the following children.
Unfortunately, there is a gap in the parish record of Borris that spans the time
period of Mary's marriage and the births of her two purported children. However, there are a number of pieces of circumstantial evidence. The death of a son of Edward Murphy of California was recorded in the Family Record of Deaths in the Bible kept by John Commins of New Brunswick, Canada. Other family correspondence also mentions the Murphy family of California. In a letter from Ruth Evans of Grand Rapids MI to Fr. Joseph Gallagher of Saint John, New Brunswick, dated 28 Feb 1974, Mrs. Evans stated that family tradition held that Ellen was the niece of Rev. John Cummins, of St. John, New Brunswick. In a second letter to Fr. Gallagher, dated 14 Dec 1974, Mrs. Evans indicates that Ellen's mother's name may be Mary Cummins. Mrs. Evans was actively researching the Monaghan, Murphy, Redmond and Cummins families in the 1970s, primarily through correspondence, but also during trips to Ireland. All of her research papers have not been available for consultation.
The family is included here based tentatively on this circumstantial evidence until the connection can be proved or disproved.
Mary married ____ MURPHY.
They had the following children:
+ 24 M i. Edward MURPHY was born in 1815. He died in 1876.
+ 25 F ii. Ellen MURPHY was born in Jul 1818/1825. She died on 17 Feb 1899.

NOTES: Info from "An Honourable Independence, the Irish Catholic Settlers of Johnville, Carleton County, New Brunswick," by William Patrick Kilfoil and Mary Kilfoil McDevitt. Johanna emigrated to Canada with her husband and family in the 1850s, and may have gone to Ontario first. Both names, Judith and Johanna were used in the Borris parish records.

Notes of Monica Tanner: In this census Laurence and Johanna and the younger children are residing in Fitzroy Harbor, Carleton County Ontario. By 1871 their sons Lawrence, Matthew, and John have settled in New Brunswick and by 1881 Laurence Sr. and Johanna arrive in the Johnville area. I speculate that Laurence may have had family that went to Carleton Co., Ontario in the 1850s. More needs to be researched. A baptismal record for their youngest, Mary, was located in Fitzroy Harbor, Carleton County, Ontario. Several of Johanna and Laurence's children married and lived in New Brunswick and their descendants are numerous and now
widespread.

CARLETON SENTINAL Newspaper, April 29, 1871; A Voice From One Of Our New Settlements! In Johnville, Simon Cummins, Esq., raised last year, as one item, 24 bushels of grass seed, which he sold for $5.50 per bushel. This was produced from a portion of 100 acres now improved, on which nine years ago not a tree had been cut.
KILFOIL: Simon Cummins was perhaps the most outstanding figure in the early days of Johnville. It is safe to say that no single person contributed so much to the development of the community as he did. Simon and his family came to Johnville in the fall of 1861, at the very outset of the establishment of the community. He had settled first in the St. Stephen area. He was married with two small children when he emigrated to New Brunswick in 1852. He held various community and municipal posts in his busy lifetime. He was commissioned as a captain in the Carleton County militia, served as County Councillor, and Commissioner for the settlement of his fellow Irishmen on their new lands in Carleton County. He was the first "way office" keeper in Carlow, and later, postmaster. He served as well as Justice of the Peace and acted as enumerator during census taking.
Besides his farming operation in Carlow (named in memory of his Irish birthplace), he established a small store, which he later moved to Bath as business expanded. It was operated by his son Christopher and daughters Annie and Lizzie. The business was eventaully sold to Patrick Brennan. The Commins store was located at the foot of the Monquart Hill. The building still stands, though it no longer serves as a store.
Simon died in Johnville. His will provided son Matthew with all his real estate in Johnville and all his farm machinery, The stock was left to his wife Mary, along with a storehouse in Bath, the store and its contents. To his four daughters, he suggested they form a joint company responsible to creditors for sale of stock and collection from debtors. Simon and Mary are buried in Johnville.
Simon married Mary JACKMAN/CHAPMAN, daughter of Simon CHAPMAN and ___ MURPHY in Ireland. Mary was born on 12 May 1823 in IRL. She died on 29 Mar 1908 in Johnville, Carleton Co., NB, CAN.
NOTES: In the baptismal records of her children, she is named as Mary Jackman. In other records, it is recorded as Chapman.
BIR: as stated in the 1901 census, when she was living with her son Mathew.
Simon and Mary had the following children:
34 M i. Mathew COMMINS was born on 12 Feb 1843 in IRL. He was christened on 19 Feb 1843 in RC parish of Borris, Carlow, IRL.
He died Aug 1915 in Washburn, ME.
NOTES: Info from "An Honourable Independence, the Irish Catholic Settlers of Johnville, Carleton County, New Brunswick," by William Patrick Kilfoil and Mary Kilfoil McDevitt. He was never married. He ran the family farm with his father. He never married. He succeeded his father as second Postmaster of Johnville and held that position until 1911. In 1911, Matthew went to Washburn ME to live with his sister. He died there in August 1915 and was buried in the family lot in Johnville.
BIR: stated as 1842 in the 1901 census, but more likely 1843 based on his baptism date.

On Thursday last a young man named Henessy, of Johnville, arrived at Bath, on the train, unable to help himself. He had been in the lumber woods where, through cold and exposure, he was prostrated by rheumatism and dropsy. Mr. Thomas Bohan drove to Bristol for Dr. Atkinson, after which he took the suffering young man to his (Mr. Bohan's) house, where he is now being kindly cared for. Such acts of Christian benevolence deserve public mention.

A fatal accident occurred at the railway bridge across the river at Upper Woodstock last Thursday; Charles Acton was running a raft from Bath for Thomas Bohan, his raft probably struck the logs jammed on one of the piers, broke up and carried him under. No one saw the accident, but J. J. Hall who was working on the river near by, saw by the lay of his raft that it was not likely to pass the bridge safely, started to look after it but when he got in sight of the pier the man was not to be seen. He found an oar with the name, Charles Acton, on it and a small basket. Mr. Acton was about 65 years old and leaves a wife and a large family.

visited Ireland in 1895, which included a visit to the ancestral home in the Parish of Borris, Co. Carlow.
John is supposed to have had a premonition of his own death, informing family members on the morning
of July 25, 1905 of his imminent demise. He died that evening. John and Margaret are buried in St.
Stephen, Milltown Cemetery.
NOTES from M. Tanner - John and Margaret visited Ireland in 1895, a tour which included a visit to the
ancestral home of the Commins family, the Parish of Borris, County Carlow. It is his Family Bible and
letter written to his children when he and his wife went to Ireland that have provided much information.
DTH: as recorded in the Bible record of Family Deaths that he kept originally, "John Commins, 73 + 7
mos, July 25, Suddenly, 1905." It is unknown who kept the record after his death.

Murphy, born 1829 in Donegal, Ireland, emigrated to Calais, Maine, where he married Mary E. Brennan,
a native of County Kerry, Ireland. In 1859, this couple came to Del Norte County where Edward
Murphy engaged in the blacksmith trade with Fred Frantz. He received his naturalization papers 10-3-1864 in Del Norte County. He had a general merchandise store at the corner of Second and J Streets in
Crescent City. His son, James E. Murphy, was born 1-12-1846 in Calais, Maine, and was admitted to the
bar in 1867. He became district attorney, as well as assemblyman, for Klamath and Del Norte Counties.

NOTES from Ruth Evans: In a letter from Ruth Evans of Grand Rapids MI to Fr. John Gallagher of St. John, New Brunswick, dated 28 Feb 1974, Mrs. Evans stated that family tradition held that Ellen was the niece of Rev. John Cummins, of St. John, New Brunswick. In a second letter to Fr. Gallagher, dated 14
Dec 1974, Mrs. Evans indicates that Ellen's mother's name may be Mary Cummins. Mrs. Evans was actively researching the Monaghan, Murphy, Redmond and Cummins families in the 1970s, primarily through correspondence, but also during trips to Ireland. She was the great-aunt of Sheila Carlson.

NOTES: from Sheila Carlson - The family came into the US in time for Patrick to file for citizenship in 1851 and then his second papers were granted in 1854. I think the family went back to Canada (I think they came through Canada from Ireland). I have census records for John Monaghan, son of Patrick and Ellen, for 1870 in St. Clair Co., Michigan that says he was born in English Canada-Ontario. I'm assuming Ellen was born there. Patrick came to St. Clair Co. sometime in 1869 and purchased land at Emmett. The family shows up there on the 1870 census with Patrick, Ellen, son John and Daughter Ellen. The older children are already married and gone. One of the daughters married Dougald McDonald at Alpena, MI. Another married George Harrington in St. Clair Co. Bryan married Annie McLean at Tiverton (near Kincardine), Bruce Co., Ontario. The geography of these marriages suggests some connection with the lakes, logging or perhaps the railroad. I don't think John or Ellen lived in the US before they came to St. Clair Co. with Patrick and Ellen in 1870 so the family spent a good number of years in Canada.

KILFOIL: The coming of the Charles E. Gallagher family to Johnville in 1862 signalled the advent of a
business which would have a profound effect on the area's commercial life for more than a century.
From a small supply depot established on his South Johnville farm, Charles Gallagher and his sons built
a trading operation that grew into one of the best known businesses along the Saint John River. The
primary reason for his farm depot was to supply the needs of the lumbermen in the area, but by the turn
of the century, operations had spread to Bath, and a general store was under construction there by 1895.
At year's end the store was in operation, although the family continued to live on their Johnville farm
until a house was built in Bath, circa 1906. Business continued to expand, so much so that an addition to the store became necessary a year after
it opened... In 1909 another addition to the store was necessary and acetylene lights were installed. The
concrete platform in front of the store was added in 1911... When he retired in 1910, Charles had
obviously left a thriving business... When, on his retirement, Charles's sons Matt and Charles Jr. took
over, as partners, they kept the old name. After the death of Charles E.'s son, Charles F., the Gallagher firm continued to operate under Matthew

NOTES of Monica Tanner (great granddaughter): Charles E Gallagher was unrelated to any other Gallaghers in Carleton County. His parents and 5 known children left Rotten Mountain Townland, Parish of Drumkeeran, County Fermanagh, Ireland in 1851 and landed in Saint John New Brunswick. He was only 19-20 years of age when he petitioned for land in Johnville and made his way up the river from Saint John to Johnville. Near Florenceville he was given lodging in a family's home and this house was for his children and grandchildren always reverently referred to as "THE HOUSE" for the kindness it had extended to Charles. Although he had 11 children only 3 married; he was over 70 years old when his first grandchild was born. Descendants are through his sons Matthew and Thomas. The Simon Cummins farm abutted the Gallagher farm. In an 1876 report in the Saint John
MORNING FREEMAN, Simon Cummins had this to say about his neighbor in Johnville...
"My next door neighbor on one side is C.E. Gallagher, being a young laboring man from Saint John, thirteen years ago, who came here with about $100. He now owns 400 acres in one block, has three barns, 30 by 40 feet, filled with grain and hay. Last spring, he sowed 180 bushels of oats; he has twelve milk cows, 3 or 4 horses, a carriage fit for an Irish landlord and everything in proportion."

DTH: Hartland, New Brunswick Observer; A TRIBUTE; The Editor, The Observer, Hartland, N.B. Dear Sir: Kindly have this tribute to the late Matthew Gallagher of Bath, N.B., published in your newspaper. It is now, when the last rites have been performed and the grave has closed, over the mortal remains of our friend that we all are able without fear of wounding his sensitive soul to discourse on those traits in his character which have so endeared him to all those with whom he came in contact. His charity was shared generously with the needy, and in giving to the very poor, he held it was better to err on the side of generosity, than prudence. Independence, strength and underlying tenderness lay in Matthew Gallagher's face in repose. He advocated the pride of self that prompts a man to keep his character clear and clean and strong, unafraid of the world's scrutiny and his own. The pride of family that spurs a man to be no less honorable, than honorable forbears. The pride of achievement that would move a man to leave a good record of deeds, public or private, behind him. The pride of learning, of luxury, of mere money, he despised. It was only by constant association and study, that one learned his true worth. It was under the garb of silence, he tried to conceal the talents he possessed. He leaves to mourn their sad loss, a loving wife and family of three: Walter at home, Rev.Joseph Gallagher of Saint John, N.B., and a daughter, Mrs. Mona Robertson of Port Hawkesbury, N.S. One brother Thomas Gallagher of Bath. He was president of the valued firm of C.E. Gallagher, Co., and by his death, not only Bath, but the parish of Kent, has lost a noble citizen, who lent his influence to all that tended to better the conditions of the people. We mourn the loss of a great friend, and we drop a flower on his bier, for he was worthy of our love and the best we can give. Signed, A friend, Bath,N.B.

R. Parkinson, In Sacramento City, during the Session of the Legislature of 1877-8. Officers Of The Assembly. Hon. James E. Murphy; [Del Norte County]; Is a member of the Assembly from the County of Del Norte, and resides in Crescent City, where he practices his profession as an attorney. He is a married man, 31 years of age, a Democrat to the very core, a native of the State of Maine, and he came to California from
Minnesota in 1850. Mr. Murphy has been elected District Attorney of his county three times, and is now serving his fourth session in Assembly. It is commonly remarked that "Jim" holds that corner of the State between his thumb and finger, and can manipulate it to his own advantage. Mr. Murphy is one of the leading Democrats, and, without exception the
best parliamentarian of the Assembly. He is a forcible speaker, and his opposition to any measure is generally feared. Mr. Murphy is a very tall, and proportionally robust man, with a florid complexion, is intelligent and gentlemanly, rather jovial in disposition, and ambitious as Caesar, and has his weather eye fixed on Congress. He is a member of the
Committees on Judiciary and Federal Relations.
