I have come to the conclusion , that James retired from military in about 1843, because he bought number 11 Poy nzty street, or road, and got married in 1844 to Christine Scholastique Thibault, and in 1861 census he is on lot 112, district Tiny, Simcoe county. So from the time he retired from Military to the time the article was written in 1939, leaves a time frame of almost a 100 years. A C Osbornes list of Drummond islanders who moved to Pentanguishene in 1828, after the American's took over, list Scholastique as being married to James Quigley, a Pensioner, and Medalist. Donald Patrick Quigley-Winnipeg Canada-Thank you for information you sent. ________________________________ From: Annie Crenshaw <[email protected]> Sent: June 2, 2020 5:28 PM To: Don 1 <[email protected]> Subject: James Quigley in 1939 "Christopher Columbus descendants" news article What a great find! You should post that on the Co. Tyrone board/list, and include the name and date of the newspaper. I see that this article was indexed on the Huronia Museum site: https://huroniamuseum.com/2019/09/page/2/ -- which says it's from the Midland Free Press of September 6th, 1939. It doesn't sound as if James Quigley (the emigrant) was in the military, if his son James Jr. was described as "the son of Irish immigrants who settled in this district." If James had been in the military or was associated with a local garrison, like Henry Arthur Columbus' gunsmith grandfather, Louis Columbus, you'd think the reporter would have mentioned that fact. I'd suggest writing to the museum and telling them that you're a descendant of the FIRST James Quigley, and see if they can tell you anything from their archives. One of their curators or volunteers might know a lot about the early militia in that area. Their web site says: Huronia Museum is closed to the public for the time being. All events and public programming are cancelled until further notice. This includes all-day camp, public programming, the film series and artifact donations.
