  Notes	On Page 89 of The McCabe List of Irish immigrants in Bytown who worked on the Rideau Canal construction, Thomas Kennedy is listed as being from near New Town Barry in Kilmashel Parish, Co. Wexford. He was single at the time (1829) and the notation is "Thomas Kennedy has a father living named Daniel, he has a large family; he resides at Newtown Barry & is known to Major Swine of said place." Thomas could write and his signature in the document is very similar to the one in the 1851 Census for Templeton Township, for which, as Justice of the Peace, he certified the work of the enumerators.
