General Notes

Thomas died while cutting trees.  Another man was also cutting trees when the other mans tree fell on Thomas Tobin.
Jim Tobin wrote:
" My Thomas Tobin married Jane Clifford on 16 August 1823 in the Mitchelstown, Cork Co., Ireland Church.  Thomas emigrated to Douro, Peterborough Co., Ontario,
Canada as part of the Peter Robinson Emigration of 1825. Thomas and Jane's first child, Ellen, was born in Mitchelstown on 28 February 1825,
shortly before her father left for Canada. Jane was not with Thomas on the Fortitude and Thomas traveled with his parents, John and Ellen Tobin
along with his sisters Mary b. abt 1797, Ellen b. abt 1799 and Johanna b. abt 1801. There also was a 1 year old Ellen who is a puzzle. It is
unlikely that Ellen was the child born to Thomas and Jane as that child would have stayed with the mother in Ireland. Jane did come to Douro and
Thomas and Jane had other children in Douro.
There is much confusion in the Tobin family from 1825 to 1850 in Douro. In particular, Frankie Wyatt Miller has listed a very confusing family
tree on the Mormon data site. This includes an Ellen Tobin, supposedly born to Thomas and Jane in 1805. Some children are listed as belonging
to both Thomas and his brother John. My GGGrandfather, Edward (Edmund) Tobin b 9 August 1841 (1843 by death certificate)is one of the
dual parent entries although Thomas's brother John died in 1830."

Jim Tobin said:  I'm reasonably certain that our Tobin's did come from Cloghleafin and have the following documentation.
1.  The Mitchelstown Church records record the marriage of Thomas Tobin and Jane Clifford on 16 August 1823.
2.  The Mitchelstown Church records record the Christening of Ellen Tobin, daughter of Thomas and Jane Tobin on 28 February 1825.
3.  The embarkation recommendations for the Tobins were signed by the Earl of Kingston and his Estate Agent Thomas Montgomery,  The Earl of Kingston was the leasor of the Cloghleafin lands and his agent, Thomas Montgomery lived across the river from Cloghleafin.
4.  The surgeon's log from the Fortitude notes that an Ellen Tobin was treated and discribed as a robust woman.  Also noted is the treatment of a Mary Tobin who had given birth 3 months earlier.  This solves the mystery that Jane was not listed among those on the Fortitude.  She was traveling as the Mary Tobin who could not be accounted for otherwise.
5.  The final evidence is circumstantial but probably valid.  A William Tobin from Cloghleafin had children baptised in Glansworth and Ballidagan chuch records prior to 1849 and more children born in Douro after that date.  It is highly likely that he came to Douro because his relatives already lived there.
Let me correct point 4.  I was doing this from memory.  Jane Clifford is listed as Ellen Tobin, age 26 in the log.  You can see this at http://www.olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/canada/PeterRobinson.shtml

Hope this is helpful.
Your cousin,
Jim Tobin
