Chugg Family Gen 1  Uploading ....Philip Chugg was first married to Deborah Routley as the following photo of the marriage registration indicates. This photo exists on microfilm in the National Archives of Canada. I was able to access this document and search for many more during my five day stay in Hull in June of 2008. |
Michael Chugg standing in front of the Canadian National Archives in Ottawa, Canada after a day's hard work scanning thousands of microfilm shots for the trail of Philip Chugg and his family. |
The photo can be transcribed clearly as follows: Chugg & Routley married - On this eighteenth day of August in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and forty four, Philip Chugg wheelwright of Hull township, Canada Lower, bachelor was married by licence to Deborah Routley spinster of Hull aforesaid, daughter of George Routly farmer of same place with the consent of her parents and friends and in presence of witnesses By Me John Johnston Missionary Note that this document spells Routley two ways. Below this document was is an entry for George Routley, farmer of Hull Township and Lydia his wife, of Valorie and Valentine, infant twins on September 11 1844. These twins indicate that this is in fact not the Routley family but the Routliffe family. Further, on documents in the archives, I found the marriages and baptisms of many members of this family. Few could write well. They usually spelled their name Routliff and dropped the last "e". John Johnston was Anglican minister to both Aylmer and Hull for many years. He was not too careful in the spellings. There is also a census of 1852 that indicates the Routliffe family as the Routley family. We know however that this spelling is in error from later censuses and from the fact that Valentine, George and Lydia are all part of the family listed in the census. |
 One further fact that makes this difficult to prove is that, on this marriage registration there were no signatures.
John Johnston was not in the habit of having signatures taken until after 1850. So if we look on to the marriage
of John Irish and Arabella Routley (Routliffe) we find that Philip Chugg signed his name quite fashionably, as befit
his expensive education in England. So Philip was capable of signing, but the Anglican missionary was not yet
in the habit or requirement of having signatures. |

1882 Census Chugg Family now beside Edey family. This location on the paper now corresponds to the location that the Rogers family held in the 1852 Census. | Hi all! In thinking about Philip Chugg and the census of 1871 and Lovell’s directory of 1871 (on the Chugg wiki), I realized a few things. Firstly, Philip Chugg was working away from his family in West Ottawa (perhaps on Aylmer Road) and the census confirms that the family was in that location. Lovell’s Directory of the same year confirms that Philip Chugg was employed in the business of wagon maker, as is listed in the census. No big deal right? I have already spelled out to many of you that the relationship between Philip Chugg and Edmond Bartlett of Aylmer had to be pretty close as Edmond was probably the blacksmith who made the metal rings that were put on Philip’s wagon wheels. One document records their presence at a marriage ceremony, so there certainly is room to make some connections there. Note in 2015: Ed Bartlett and his brother are noted in a LIberal education political meeting with Philip Elisha Chugg and Charles Chugg. Check the Chugg son pages to see the article. They were in Gloucester, Ottawa in the early 1900's. So it is clear that the Chugg family and Bartlett family were close for decades. So how about other wagon maker connections? First let me say that I always try to get a geographical sense of the story. So I have searched over the past couple of years for Depot Dumoine, Quebec or Dumoine Depot as it was referred to in the old days of 1871. I had a lot to learn. A depot is a gathering location, a satellite office primarily for logging companies. There were lots of big logging companies in the Ottawa area and this was the major boom for Ottawa’s beginnings. When you visit the ZEC Dumoine website you will learn about the area of the Dumoine river which empties into the Ottawa river. The ZEC basically is a protected region in which citizen’s have equal access to the hiking and nature of the region. It is a managed zone in which fishing and hunting as well as camping, canoeing and hiking occur. Zec Dumoine tells us about the history of the region as well as the natural interests, but really not much about Dumoine Depot. In fact, Google Earth can’t even find it. Name change? Nope! It turns out that in the fabulous 1950’s Canada’s thirst for hydro electric power led to the formation of a dam on the Ottawa at Rochfort, below the Dumoine River. Everything upstream on the Dumoine was flooded out and Dumoine Depot is under about 70 meters of water. It only took me a couple of years to figure this out!!!! So I know I won’t be visiting this site, for certain. But why did Philip work at Dumoine Depot. It turns out that E.B. Eddy in his quest to compete against some of the big lumber barons, had rights to timber tracts along many of the rivers that fed into the Ottawa. Google has a book that documents some of his depots and I am including a picture of an Eddy cache. We know the Eddy connection is very strong to the Chugg family because of the fact that Philip’s boys farmed later for Mrs. Bessey, E.B. Eddy’s daughter. Even my grandmother Chugg told tales of Philip Elisha and Edgar Philip Chugg’s devotion to E.B.Eddy as the Eddy family helped out the Chugg family. The ZEC Dumoine history spells out the importance of the roads that would bring supplies in to the logging camps around the river. So prolific were the wagons, that the vegetation has never grown back in the wagon rut trails and these trails make excellent hiking and snowmobiling trails today. As the Depot on the Dumoine would be a major center in the wilderness, all trades would feed into the depot. The need for wagon makers would be great, for repairs and to meet the demand for supply hauling wagons. There is a book that details how E.B. Eddy would send his field superintendents all over to manage various Depots. More than likely he also had lists of men of various trades who could be assigned to various depots as well. Whether Philip Chugg was on such a list, or worked as an independent, or worked for competing lumber companies is conjecture in the absence of documentation. It does appear that Philip went to where the work was to continue in his trade. It also appears that the wagons were vitally important and that his trade was an important one. It is also good to understand that perhaps despite the stories that life was hard for Cathrine Davis Chugg because of Philip’s hard living ways, we have here an understanding that Philip was pursuing his trade and was actively engaged in earning a living for his family, even if that meant he had to live and work away from his family. I have finally solved the Canadian mystery about Dumoine Depot. Most of you living in the region probably knew this fact, but research from afar often takes more time and effort before answers begin to appear. Well this ends another tale in the search for Philip Chugg. Take a moment to view the attachments on Stonecliffe and the map of Zec Dumoine (note the web address in the picture to learn more) and the picture of the Eddy Cache. In this picture of 1938, the wagons are on skis and pulled by a crawler tractor. Years before this would have been horses and smaller wagons or sleds. Michael Philip Chugg

| To add to the history I have included many documents that begin to fill in story particulars. Below is a 1901 Census image which documents Mrs. Ella Bessey Female Head of Household, birthdate, age and born in the USA. Her son as well as servants or two relatives can been seen below her name. Mrs. Bessey is important in this scan for several reasons. Anson A Gard of Aylmer Quebec, in his book The Pioneers of The Upper Ottawa and the Humours of the Valley documents the existence of the Bessey and Routliff farms on the Aylmer Road very close to the town of Hull, Quebec. Nellie Lang points out that the Chugg sons lived on Mrs. Bessey's land and farmed for her until she sold the land. They also farmed for Dr. Graham and Nellie Lang was born on his land. Mrs. Bessey was also famous for another reason. She was the daughter of E. B. Eddy, the match king of Canada. Her land was situated across from the Ottawa Golf Club, and probably was very profitable land at the time. Ebenezer Chugg had Charles Pink as best man at his wedding. The Pink boys' father was a pioneer of the valley and Pink Road still exists in the valley. Pink Cemetery also holds many of the Pink family members. I note these two facts because the Chugg's seemed to work for influential and well known families. This point is important in establishing Chugg character and standing in the community at the time. This register proves the existence of three families whose lives were intertwined to the extent that Mrs. Chugg and family ended up moving from farm to farm, then moving into Ottawa and finally moving west to Saskatchewan and Alberta. Ebenezer Rogers Chugg (middle name is last name of his grandmother Mary Rogers Chugg of 51 High Street, Barnstaple England) is noted below the listing for Mrs. Bessey as Head of Household. Mrs. Bessey has a son and two domestics. Ebenezer Chugg's wife Mary (Fitzpatrick), daughter Nellie, daughter Edna, son George and mother Catherine Chugg are listed in his household. Ebenezer was working the farm for Mrs. Bessey. Other registries on this website show that the other sons were already living in Ottawa and were listed variously as farmers, laborers, mill hands and carpenters. So the boys were about earning the money after a difficult time in poverty without a father. Later the sons would be linemen and a supervisor with Ottawa Electric. The young men also ran their own dairies. The location of their land on both sides of the Ottawa River can be found on each individual son's page. We think Philip Chugg died in 1885. He would have died at the age of 70.

A site that Great Great Grandfather Philip Chugg would have known well in 1871. It is the landing on the Dumoine River which would be known as Dumoine Depot as discussed above. While his family farmed, Philip Chugg would work with wood in some capacity, as a wagonmaker, probably for the mills of Bronson, Eddy or one of the so many others. Woodlots at this time were selling for around $40,000. This was the big money scene and many great names from Aylmer and Hull were involved.

John Irish -husband of Arabella Routliffe, brother in-law to Deborah Routliffe & Philip Chugg
John Irish came to Aylmer, QC. in 1860 and Married Arabella Routliffe. They settled on Lot 16, R.R.4. in Aylmer. Their married registration
says that they were "married with the consent of her friends" and does not mention her family. This oversight may mean nothing - or might
mean that her family did not approve of John. One of the witnesses to their wedding is Arrabella's brother-in-law Philip Chugg. He
worked in the EB Eddy lumber mill about the same time a John did and had a falling out of his own with the Routliffe family.
In 1881 John, Arabella & family are living in Aylmer, QC

Anson A Gard writes about Deborah Routliffe in his 1906 book and notes that she is of the famous George Routliffe family and is married to ____________ Chugg. He also notes in the same book that all of the girls as of 1906 in the Rouliffe family died while all the boys in the family of 13 children were still alive. I wondered about the _________ in the notation until i learned more about the Routliffe story. I also believe the fact that no one in 2007 can dig up documentary evidence of Philip's death and burial also may have plagued Anson A Gard's research attempts at the time and may explain the blank. Note that George and Sarah Routliff (e) are listed as entry 118 on the same page as Ebenezer Chugg (114) and Ella Bessey (113).

Check his story for many interesting facts about himself and his cousin Anna Ada Milks.
Catherine's other sons' stories on this site document where they lived in Ottawa at this time. |  | Here lies the terrible story of how the first family married to Philip Chugg, the Routliffe family, through the wedding of their daughter Deborah to Philip, evicted the Chugg family from Routliffe land in 1872. This is where I believe things turned bad for Philip, probably to even causing his death and causing Catherine to walk the six miles to market every day to sell eggs butter and milk to feed her five sons. the article is from the Ottawa Free Press August 17, 1872. below the article is the transcription as near as I could make out with a magnifying glass. I stumbled upon the article as I searched for other locations in newspapers and as I searched for the obituary of Philip Chugg. It is as if Philip was leading me to learn about the terrible injustice done to his family. This supposition occurs twice in my research. The other is the dream I had of a young man's death not quite 24 hours prior to learning about the young man's death from a Chugg relative of my generation of whom I have never met. Again I feel the ancestor was leading me to learn of his tragic death. Check his story under his name, Edward William Chugg. A third tragedy learned in my research is that of Anna Ada Milks Chugg and her three sons in WWI. Check out John Chugg for the story. So read on to find out the details of the Routliffe betrayal.
| 
Ottawa Free Press Aug 17,1872 http://www.papersofrecord.com Home Rule - Mr. Chugg a helpless old man who has a wife and four children, has lately been sadly vacated with what he calls home____. His relations by a former marriage pretended to take exception to the conduct of his present wife and sister in law and attempted to eject him from a house in which he has been living for the last 21 years. Finding this impossible, they offered $100 to leave, which Chugg accepted on condition that he would retain possession until he got a new house built. Before the latter was finished however, they forcibly evicted him from the old house and burned(?) the new one, so that himself and family are now left homeless. Chugg has now entered a lawsuit against these parties. Good for Chugg. Ottawa Free Press Saturday August 17, 1872 - Philip Chugg & Catherine Davis The family that evicted Philip Chugg and family would be the Routliffe family. Philip probably farmed Routliffe land as he had first married Deborah Routliffe. This was a very large family and they probably wanted the land back. Deborah died and Philip married Catherine Davis who was not of English descent like Routliffe or Chugg but was of Irish ancestry. George Routliffe, her father owned land next to the notable Ruggles Wright and across the road from the home of Mrs. Bessy, daughter of E.B.Eddy the match king. Mrs. Bessey later rented her land to Philip Chugg and he lived on it with his family. The Routliffe family farm was two farms west of the Ottawa Golf Club, so obviously this was very expensive land. Anson A Gard listed the farms located next to each other along the Aylmer Road. The Chugg/ Routliffe farm was just east of the William Allen Farm. There would seem to be no connection to the two farmers until one realizes (thanks to Karen Prytula) that William Allen was the son of Ruggles Allen and Mary Routliffe. William Allen had land on both sides of the road. Just west of his land was that of George Routliffe. SO really there were three Routliffe family farms in a row. I t also appears that Ebenezer Chugg owned this very same Chugg property as dairy property very close to 1900 as indicated in the census of that time. I realize that my Great great Grandfather Philip Chugg's location and work always had reasons attached to him and linkages to community members. I wonder about his second wife Catherine Davis. I say this because Hamnett Pihney paid Edmond Bartlett of Aylmer for blacksmith work. Edmund's wife and GGGpa's wife were sisters. Additionally Joseph Davis worked for Hamnett Pinhey too, as recorded in several entries. Could the Davis, Pinhey, Bartlett connection be a link to Philip's marriage to Catherine? Or was there another military member or Devonshire member from that area that connected Philip to Catherine. Even today that area is considered the Devonshire area with a school named the Devonshire school. I know there is more to find out.
Also note that the 1832 map with the Chugg name also has the Stott name beside the Chugg farm. One of the Stott's married a WIlliam Allen daughter, adding additional land as Routliffe land, in a sense.  This location information is documented in part 1 of The Pioneers of the Upper Ottawa and The Humors of the Valley South Hull and Aylmer Edition written by Anson A. Gard an Aylmer citizen and originally published in 1906. I, Michael Philip Chugg, own a digital version of this book. | So now you know that Catherine Chugg faced the most despicable of acts by her husband's first in-laws and as documented in the Press. You need to know also that I have a document which shows how George Routliffe did not pay for his land, that it was a grant from the Governor General's deputy to the Routliffe family. The family certainly wanted value for this land. Catherine's family ended up farming right next to the family, further humiliation for the deed. Of course there is conjecture here but the facts have been presented and speak volumes about the situation for the Chugg family. I should point out from Nellie Lang's narrative that Ebenezer went on to join with many other dairy men in founding the Ottawa Dairyman's Association around 1900 and stayed in Quebec, renting out his herd to a dairyman and delivering milk to Ottawa. He repeated this activity in Claresholm Alberta many years later. I often wonder how much influence Charles Pink may have had in his success. Three Pink brothers and their father all owned land along Mountain Road, which roughly parallels Aylmer Road. At some point I will insert the spreadsheets that diagram Anson A Gard's documentation of the families along these two roads. A few satellite views will also help establish the location of the farms. I must also mention here that the Thompson girls had relatives in Michigan and that the Chugg family went to the U.S. for one year before returning to Ottawa. It is conjectured by myself and Thelma Hartman, that they went to live with the relatives and possibly check out the area for a new start. I have a document that describes a walk similar to Gard's in northern Michigan in which the writer comes along Esquire Chugg's cabin. I wondered whether this historical anecdote from the late 1800's documented our ancestor's move to the U.S. I will have to add that document here as well. There is also mention from my father's cousin that the Chugg's had a draying business in and around Kingston Ontario before moving west. I believe it was Philip Elisha who was involved in this business. |

| DAVIS FAMILY TREE Hello again Just a quick last email to give you a brief family tree for Joseph Davis and Sarah Walkins or Watkins and their children. Aunt Nellie lists only the daughters but they had sons as well. I do have more on these families but haven't spent as much time as I would like on tracking them down. My daughter says that I have to get busy and find descendants of all the Chuggs, Larmours, Pinks, Thompsons, etc and send them all Christmas cards next year. I am working on that as I think it would be great to share the information I have and keep the family trees up to date for everyone possible. Anyway, let me know if you spot any errors I have made. I try and verify as much as possible with registrations, church records, etc but some of it still comes from family stories and therefore may be off a bit. It is great to have some one else interested in the past. I will get around to scanning some family photos for you to see and will email them when done.

The St. Johns Anglican Cemetery is on the west side of Sandhill Rd.
south of Klondike Rd. in South March Township, West Carleton, Ottawa, Ontario.
Below is the gravesite in Beechwood Cemetery Ottawa, Ontario in which great great grandmother Catherine Davis' sister Sarah Davis, as documented above, is buried with her husband Charles Milks. The two sister had children who married each other (John Chugg and Anna Ada Milks). 
The graves of the Milks family and the Chugg family are no more than 100 feet away and so Sarah Davis Milks is very close to her daughter Anna Ada Milks Chugg's burial site.  Link to another significant family associated with the Chugg Family - The Thompson Family Photo |
