Patrick Condon

• Research Overview: Caplin Bay, Newfoundland

Notes:

Research Overview:
We know from surviving records that Patrick and Catherine Condon of Co. Kilkenny, Ireland were the ancestors of the Condons of Calvert (Caplin Bay), Newfoundland, however most of the details about Patrick's origin, occupation, and his life at Caplin Bay have been lost forever in the mists of time. In the 1983 book "Calling all Condons", the late Ray Condon stated that "Family tradition leads us to believe that our progenitor was a school master who came to teach in Calvert (then called Caplin Bay) from either Carbonear or Harbour Grace, Newfoundland". However, Ray cautioned that "we will never be able to verify that belief".

After extensive research in various documents, I have reached conclusions contrary to what Ray presented in that book. I found there was indeed a Patrick Condon who settled in the Harbour Grace area in the early 1800, however he married in 1814 and appears to have lived out the rest of his life there. I also feel that Ray's speculation that Patrick may have been a schoolmaster was rooted in the fact that Patrick's eldest son, Thomas, was known to be educated well beyond the level of his fellow fisherman of Caplin Bay. While I found mention of Patrick's occupation as a fisherman in 1831 and as a road contractor in 1837/1838, I did not find any documented evidence that Patrick Condon was ever a schoolmaster. From what I can determine the first Board of Education for Ferryland District (Non-Denominational) was formed in May 1836 and the first teachers appointed at Caplin Bay under that Board were Elizabeth Coleman, Caplin Bay (i.e. south side) and Jane Cashin, Athlone (i.e. north side).

Although Irish born, Patrick's Newfoundland origin may lie closer to his eventual home. There is some recorded evidence which suggests that there may have been a Condon family living at Ferryland early in the nineteenth century. A Mary Condon married Michael Kearney of Ferryland in the first decade of the 1800s. One of their sons, Michael Kearney Jr. (1811-1889), became a well-known master shipbuilder. The St. John's marriage records also show that in November 1814, a Bridget Condon of Ferryland married Richard Lacy of Waterford, Ireland.

To add to the confusion, there was also an English family named Congdon living in the Ferryland area during the same era. Thomas Congdon, a native of St. Mary's Church, Devon, England operated a business in Clear's Cove, Fermeuse in the early 1800s. According to his headstone in Ferryland Anglican Cemetery, Thomas died at Ferryland, 4 April 1839, aged 51 years. He had been a well-known merchant at Ferryland and Fermeuse since the second decade of the 1800s. In the 1820s, the court records show that he was partnered with John Preston under the company name of Preston and Congdon. It is unlikely that there was any kinship between the English Congdons and Irish Condons, however, the clerks of the court frequently confused the spelling of the surnames in various official court documents.

There are a number of records from the 1820s onward pertaining to the Condons of Aquaforte and to the Condons of Caplin Bay. Neither of these families appear to be related to each other, nor is any kinship readily apparent to the possible third Condon family at Ferryland. Edward Condon, who settled at Aquaforte, according to the newspaper obituary, died February 11, 1871 and was a native of Waterford, Ireland. In the 1860s, the Aquaforte Condons, through marriage, became related to the descendants of Mary Condon Kearney. Edward Condon's son, Daniel Condon, a well known shipwright who worked for Michael Kearney, married Mary's grand-daughter, Margaret Kearney, and raised a family at St. John's.

Regardless of his origin, and taking the Condon oral history at face value, it appears factual that Patrick had settled at Caplin Bay by 1825. In that year, Thomas, his eldest son, was born. Tom Condon, again according to family lore, was the first male child born in the area known as the North Side. The presence of Patrick Condon at Caplin Bay in 1825 is verified by a petition filed in the Supreme Court on August 12, 1831. The petition was filed by Patrick Evoy of Caplin Bay requesting administration of the estate of his late brother, John Evoy. John Evoy of Caplin Bay died (without a will) in June 1825. Patrick "Congdon" - fisherman - is shown as a witness in this petition, so it is obvious that Patrick could testify to the circumstances of the Evoys partnership in a plantation at Caplin Bay in 1825. Patrick's surname in the petition (transcribed copy, at least) is spelled both as Condon and Congdon.

Buried:
During early settlement years, all burials for Ferryland, and for some surrounding communities, were in a common cemetery there. This old "burying ground" overlooks the area known as The Pool and the Colony of Avalon archeological site, on the peninsula leading to Ferryland Head. The surviving headstones are very old, many have fallen over and are sunken in the ground. One surviving headstone is inscribed as follows:

"CONDON - Sacred to the memory of Patrick Condon who departed this life March [1840] aged 47 yrs. also Catherine his wife departed this life July 6th 1847 aged 44 yrs. Both natives of the County Kilkenny, Ireland."

Over the years, the inscription on this faded and damaged old headstone has been transcribed with several variations. Within the past two decades, members of the Condon family have repaired this headstone and highlighted the surviving inscription with black paint. It was initially believed that one crumbled area, inscribed with the year of Patrick's death, might have read 1848, however that observation is questionable.

Died:
Research suggests that Patrick may have actually died in March 1840, not March 1848. That deduction is based on the fact that his name never appeared in the surviving Voter's Lists (1840-1859) for Ferryland District. A brief mention of his name in the Newfoundlander, a St. John's newspaper, verifies that he was still alive in 1838.

The Journal of the House of Assembly of Newfoundland for 1838 also show that Patrick Congdon (sic) was involved in road construction in Ferryland District. It reported that, on Nov. 13, 1837, Benjamin Sweetland Morry had surveyed and measured one mile of road for Patrick 'Congdon' at a cost of 15 shillings. Later, the same Journal indicates that on 6 Dec. 1837, P. Condon was paid £19 7 0 cash on his contract. After these references, the Condon name is not found again in the district until the 1852 listing of Thomas Condon in the Caplin Bay Voter's List.

Patrick married Catherine Walsh 6 Oct 1822, St. John's, Newfoundland. Catherine was born Abt 1803, Co. Kilkenny, Ireland; died 6 Jul 1847; was buried Abt 8 Jul 1847, Non-denominational Cemetery, Ferryland, Ferryland District, Newfoundland, Canada. [Group Sheet]

• Research Overview: 1825, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland
• Deed: 13 Feb 1847, Mobile, Newfoundland
• Voter: 1852-1859, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland
• Residence: 1871, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland

Notes:

Birth:
The Vital Statistics death record states that Thomas was born in Caplin Bay. However in the Newfoundland Census - 1935, Ernest Condon stated that his father was born in Ireland. This is contrary to family tradition which claims that Tom Condon was the first male child born on the north side of Caplin Bay. It is likely that Ernest's reference to Ireland was for his grandfather's birthplace, not that of his father, Thomas.

Research Overview:
In family lore Tom Condon, although a fisherman, is portrayed as an educated man, but the level of his education is unclear. It appears that Thomas Condon was at Mobile in 1847, and some family lore suggests he was employed there as a schoolmaster. That assertion may have some merit, since we know that Thomas was very literate and likely competent to teach school at the level required at that time. According to the late Ray Condon, his great-grandfather's home at Caplin Bay had a collection of "leather bound works of Sir Walter Scott, Shakespeare, Burns, Tennyson, etc." This is rather curious since such collections were rare, especially in the homes of fishermen.

When my great-great grandfather, Richard Reddigan, was dying in 1872, he had his will drawn up by Tom Condon (his next door neighbour) and/or Andrew Keough. Both of their names are signed as witnesses at the bottom of his will. In later generations, descendants of Thomas Condon produced at least two Rhodes scholars, so maybe genetics predisposed some of them with superior scholarly abilities down through the generations. (Kevin Reddigan)

Deed:
Crown Land Grant #D373 - Thomas Condon - 6 acres and 37 perches. This was likely the Thomas Condon who was born at Caplin Bay in 1825.

Voter:
Although Thomas would have been eligible to vote about 1846, it was not until 1852 that his name first appeared on the Voter's List for Caplin Bay. He and his mother still had a presence at Caplin Bay in 1847 where their plantation had been under lease from Robert Carter of Ferryland since 1830. It is possible that Thomas was splitting his time by fishing at Caplin Bay during the summer, and teaching at Mobile during the winter, in an effort to regain ownership of the property.

Died:
His headstone transcription says he was 86 when he died April 17 1911. Thomas' Vital Statistics record stated that his death was one day later, on April 18, 1911.

Thomas married Anne Swain Abt 1856. Anne (daughter of Robert Swain and Elizabeth "Betsy" Bryan) was born Abt 1827, Stone Island, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland; died 4 Sep 1908, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland; was buried Abt 6 Sep 1908, Holy Trinity RC Cemetery, Ferryland, Ferryland District, Newfoundland, Canada.

Other Events:

• Residence: 1870, St. John's, Newfoundland; Cookstown Road

Notes:

Residence:
Kyran was listed as a mariner.

Died:
Based on a petition to the Supreme Court of Newfoundland, by Ellen Condon, for administration of the estate of her late husband, Kyran was drowned whilst engaged as one of the crew of the "Brunette" on a voyage from the port of St. John's Newfoundland to Oporto in Portugal, Europe on or about Jan 6, 1881. It appears that the captain of the ship on which Kyran was lost, was Washington Winsor who was born at Aquaforte, Newfoundland.

Kyran married Ellen Downey 14 May 1863, St. John's, Newfoundland. Ellen was born 1839, St. John's, Newfoundland; died 3 Sep 1914, St. John's, Newfoundland; was buried Abt 5 Sep 1914, Belvedere Cemetery, St. John's, Newfoundland. [Group Sheet]

Patrick married Mary Cuddihy 13 Feb 1868, St. John's, Newfoundland. Mary (daughter of Richard Cuddihy and Catherine Gardiner) was born Abt 1837, St. John's, Newfoundland; died 10 Dec 1907, St. John's, Newfoundland; was buried Abt 12 Dec 1907, Belvedere Cemetery, St. John's, Newfoundland. [Group Sheet]

Other Events:

• Baptism: 12 Oct 1857, Holy Apostles Parish, (Fermeuse/Renews), Newfoundland
• Immigration: 1892, Nova Scotia, Canada

Notes:

Baptism:
Robert Luke's baptism record identifies him as the son of Kyran Condon and Anne Swaine. This was obviously an error by the priest, since there is no notation that he was illegitimate. However, some family researchers have put a more sinister spin on this error, suggesting that Robert Luke was Kyran's son, and that Thomas Condon married Anne Swaine and raised Robert Luke as his own so that the family would not be disgraced. However, Robert Luke's Nova Scotia death certificate states that his parents were Thomas Condon and Ann Swain. Robert Luke moved to Kingston, Nova Scotia after the great fire of 1892 razed the city of St. John's, where he was living.

Robert — Margaret Mary Tobin. Margaret was born 3 Jun 1864, Trepassey, Newfoundland; died 5 Aug 1948, Kingston, Kings, Nova Scotia, Canada. [Group Sheet]

Other Events:

• Census: 1920, Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States

Notes:

Birth:
No record was found in the St. John's RC parish records for Margaret Condon. Her approximate year of birth is based on the age given in her death certificate and in the 1920 US Census.


Died:
Commonwealth of Massachuetts - Death Certificate 200288 - Record #6338 - 1924, Vol. 2, Page 65.

At the time of her death Margaret was listed as being 58, married, and living at 46 Blance Street, Boston, Massachuetts. Her father was shown as Hughey? K Condon, born St. John's, NF and her mother was shown as Ellen Downey, born St. John's, NF.

It appears that there was some confusion about the name of Margaret's father. It was given as Hughy K. Condon in the death certificate. There is no other indication that Kyran Condon ever used the name Hugh or Hughey. However, Margaret had a son named Hugh Kyran, so it is possible that the issuer may have misunderstood information that was given at the time of her death.

Margaret — Thomas Traverse. Thomas was born Dec 1853, Small Point, Conception Bay, Newfoundland; died 6 Dec 1945, Bridgewater, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States; was buried 8 Dec 1945, Mattapan, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States. [Group Sheet]
