The second marriage was to Ann Foley, the widow of William Foley. Patrick may have died before 1832 because he is not listed on the 1832 Voters List.

5 Source: Ed Chafe Ed wrote: William and Anne Foley (Fowlow) were early settlers in Northern Bay. They had two daughters: Margaret who married Terrance McNamara and Anne who married John Hinchey, then Lawrence Mullaly. Anyway, that is how the Hincheys/Mullalys/Tobins are connected. 3 Joseph F. Petrie, Founding Member, Friends of Irish Research After William Foley died, his widow Anne married Patrick Tobin Sr. (Ed said: I found a marriage in 1822 for a Patrick Tobin to ANNE FOLEY, widow of William Foley.) In 1824, there was a court case launched by Patrick Tobin over William Foley's land (against the administrators William Hogan and John Cummins). It is very interesting to note that someone has stolen those court records from the archives.

6 Some of the land is still in dispute, even now. Someone went to the provincial archives and stole all the papers relating to this case. William and Anne Foley (Fowlow) were early settlers in_Northern Bay. They had two daughters: Margaret who married_Terrance McNamara, and Anne who married John Hinchey, then_Lawrence Mullaly. Anyway, that is how the Hincheys/Mullalys/Tobins are connected.

7 4 iii Michael2 Tobin , born in Gowran, kilkenny , Ireland; buried in Thorwald, Weiland, Ontario, Canada. Notes: Source: Ed Chafe My Notes: In the September 29 1855 edition of the Boston Pilot, Michael advertised that he was looking for information on his brothers Richard and Patrick Tobin , sons of Patrick Tobin and Judith Keeffe of Parish Gowran County kilkenny . He said that when last heard from one was in Prince Edward Island and the other was in Black Head, North Shore Newfoundland. Michael was listed as having resided in Thorold, Canada West (Now Ontario) for 14 years.
