2. SAMUEL2
LONEY (RICHARD1 LONIE) was born Abt. 1811 in Tipperary,
Ireland, and died Abt. 1890 in Little Ireland, Renfrew Co. Ontario. He married (1) SUSAN DAGG Abt.
1830 in Ireland. She was born Abt. 1813
in Ireland, and died 1855 in Darling Twp. North Lanark Co. near Loney Lake, Ontario. He married (2) JANE GUEST Abt. 1857 in Darling Twp.

Samuel Loney came to
Canada about 1831 during the Potato Famine. He belonged to the Church of
England. Lived near Lowney Lake, Darling Twp. North Lanark County, then Little Ireland mid 1870. Census says 1851-52 but comparing birthdays
from later census I determined that the Ennumerator probably didn't do this
area of Darling Twp. until 1853. The
Ennumerator spelled the surname, Lonie. 1871 Census spelled it Loney. Samuel was living in a log house. A Richard
Lonie age 87 and a Dora Lonie age 86 are their parents.
The Surname is
Irish, variations include Lonney, Lunny, Luny, Looney and O'Looney. The name is
associated with the northern half of Ireland, including Tyrone and Armagh. In
Armagh there is a villiage called Loney's Town, near Richill.
The greater number
of names on this sheet have located themselves on the Northern Boundary of
Darling on the shores of White Lake. This sheet of water extending the Northern
boundary of Darling. Some way for 14 miles the scenery is wild and as seen of
the ice looks very forbidding. The general appearance of the country, rocky and
rough. There are few spots where there are generaly too small to make a good
field and for life a good farm. The whole township is broken, no levels but
hill and dale every where. The only good purpose which this Township seems fit
to answer in after generations will be the feeding of sheep. The best land in
the Township with 50 to 70 acres of improvements will seldom bring more than
from 50 to 80 Pounds for a hundred acre lot.
1871 Census - Microfilm # 10,019/Darling Twp. North Lanark
County Range/Concession #11 Lot 19. Noted as a tenant with 164 acres, 100
improved, 60 pasture. Wheat 3 acres/bushels 15, Barley 6, Oats 10, Peas 4,
Potates 1.5 acres/100 bushel Hay crop 20 = 10 tons. On another page Ennumerator noted Samuel owned 200 acres, 2
barns, 2 wagons, 2 boats, 1 plough. Note discrepancy in amount of acres and a
tenant versus ownership. Further
research may clarify apparent discrepancy. 2 horses over 3 years, 4 Milch cows,
5 other horned cattle, 6 sheep, 3 swine, 6 cattle killed or sold for slaughter,
8 sheep killed or sold for slaughter, 300 lbs. butter, 40 pounds of wood, 20
cords of firewood.

from first marriage are adults by this time and are located elswhere.

LONEY'S CHUTE Portage was named after the Loney Family of Little Ireland in the mid 1800's near Carlow Twp. Loney Lake also named. Road construction was a very slow, back breaking endeaver when oxen and horses were the only help to manpower. Little Ireland was not far from Carlow's eastern boundry, for those who could only travel by river. In about the 1860's, the Government finally gave a grant to build a road through the bush and a bridge across the Little Mississippi at Loney's Chute. There were 10 men with axes, crosscut saws, shovels, picks, a few steel drills, a keg of blasting powder, 3 wagons and 3 ox teams built the 5 miles of road. The pier at the bridge rests upon, was made of cedar logs. When the road and bridge were finally finished the settlers could travel with horses and wagons to the grist mill and store that was 20 miles away to get their wheat ground into flour and take care of other matters. The road wound up and down through the bush over mudholes and stones. Loney's Chute became well known for it's speckled trout. Today the old road and bridge has been bypassed by other roads and it has not been used for years. Roads were often swept away and had to be rebuilt many times over. Excerpts from the book "Before The Memories Fade"
Children who would have gone to school as early as 1871 would have had a long walk to Carlow area on Lot 21 on the 6th Line. Those living in the north and east, for instance, the Ralph's who lived on the Renfrew County line had to walk 5 miles and others near McArthur's Mills had to walk 3 miles.
