LETTER FROM PETER ROBINSON:
“In choosing the emigrants, the instructions that they should be
farmers, able to make good settlers and without the means of supporting
themselves in Ireland was strictly adhered to. In one particular -
I was induced to deviate in a few instances which was in admitting a
small number above the age of forty-five - they are however farmers of
superior intelligence and character to the other emigrants and appear
from their experience in agriculture and their greater practical
knowledge capable of giving a good example to the other settlers.”
Notwithstanding murmurs were heard and accusations were made: Article in
the Cork Mercantile Chronicles of May 6, 1825 caused Peter R. some
distress. Consequently he invited on board the ‘Mayor of Cork
and Sir Anthony Perrier - that by the most minute investigation they
might ascertain how far the settlers on board of their ships
corresponded with the description of persons who I was instructed to
select.’
Letters of Recommendation:
“Denis Hurley and Jeremiah Connors are the persons whom
I recommended. I certify to my knowledge of their honest and good
conduct and recommend them as proper subjects to be forwarded to
Canada.” Lord Bantry, Mar. 1825
Shea (O'Shea):
“The bearer Thomas Shea lived as tenant to my cousin Bryan
Sheehy - County Limerick, desirous of emigrating to Canada with his
family is I believe a proper subject to be taken under the prescribed
regulations. William Sheehy, Bloomfield near Cork.
To Sir Anthony Perrier,
‘He dealt with my father for many years and always conducted himself
with the greatest propriety and honesty. He lived for a long time as
tenant to my uncle M. Sheehy in the county of Limerick.’ Chas.
O. Mayla
I know the gentleman whose names are signed to the annexed
recommendations to be highly respectable and have no doubt of the
accuracy of their statement.’ Anthony Perrier Magistrate Cork, May 14,
1825
