Notes

Note for:   James O'Regan,   1808 - 1886

James was born in 1808 in a stone cottage in the town land of Carkerbeg, Parish of Doneraile, Barony of Fermony, northeast Cork. The cottage built by his stonemason family, is on the North side of the main Kidlorrey To Doneraile Road, about 1/3 of a miles east of the Labbavacon bridge. His birth and place was not officially recorded by the English government which had ruled in Ireland since the 13th century. He married Mary McCarthy who was born in 1812 at or near Kilmallock, County Limerick about 12 miles northeast of Buttevant. No records could be found of the marriage in the parish registers of Kilmallock, where the records did not begin until after 1835 or Doneraile Catholic church. It was not unusual a for marriages to be performed at the home of the bride and for the priest to not record it in the church records. James was a stonemason. He followed the Irish tradition of handing the craft down to a number of his sons. He was a member of the Regan family of stonemasons who lived in the town lands of Carkerbeg and Park North, near the towns of Doneraile and Buttevant.
He past down the story that explain why James came to Canada when he did. He told his eldest son that William came running into the field as he worked and said "James don't turn around, I need your coat, The soldiers are after me." James went back to the cottage and told his wife Mary to pack up as they were leaving that night to get a boat to America. A local historian in Glenbille said when the soldiers were after one brother, they were after all brothers.
In 1834 they immigrated to Canada. In Canada James worked for Amos "King" Seaman a noted entrepreneur at Minudie, N.S., initially he may have been a stonecutter for Francis O'Regan who had arrived in St. John, N.B. in 1819. Francis in 1826 received a land warrant with three others, including Laurence O'Regan 21, who emigrated from Londonderry a year earlier. The land, near the town of Joggins, is on the shore of Chignecto Bay, at a location known as Ragged Reef. It included a stone quarry. It is believed that the three O'Regan's are cousins as all were stonemason workers, a family craft passed down from father to sons. There were 3 other's stonemason in Canada in the first half of the 19th century.
