Person:Patrick Brennan (9)

Patrick and Mary raised a Great-nephew, Joe Brennan, son of Edward and Helen.

From Allan Brennan's The Brennan Family notes, "In addition to James and Margaret (Ward) Brennan there was also a Patrick Brennan and a Michael Brennan who purchased land nearby in North Easthope and were related to James. Patrick owned half of Lot 44 in 1847 which was 80 acres, and Michael leased the other half of Lot 43 next to James and Margaret on December 1, 1845." Allan also found a reference in Patrick's obituary to Monaghan County as Patrick's place of birth.

Brennan Land Leases and Purchases Deed 320 recorded at Stratford Agency on Jan 16, 1855 North Eastope, Perth, Ontario as found by Allan Brennan: Based on microfilm records it shows property was leased by the Canada Company to James Brennan and his brother, Michael on December 1, 1845 in Toronto. The land was Concession 4, Lot 43 in North Easthope Township about one mile north of Stratford, Ontario [out Mornington St, on the right, just before the road to the airport]. James Brennan owned the east half of the property and Michael owned the west half. The original lease consisted of one hundred sixty acres owned by the Canada Company who after logging the lands divided and sold lots to help in the developement of Western Canada. In January 4, of 1855, James Brennan purchased his property for 100 pounds and his brother Patrick purchased eighty acres in February 1855 of the eastern half apparently from his brother Michael. The property belonged to the family or relatives until about 1917.
