Peter Robinson Survey With Maurice O'Brien, May 23, 1828

1.  From where did you emigrate to Upper Canada and when?

From Mitchelstown in the County Cork.

2.  What was your trade or occupation at home?  And what were your circumstances when you embarked?

Farmer.  Very much distressed.

3.  Did you come out independently of any public assistance?

No.

4.  If you were assisted by the public, what assistance was given you, and under whose superintendence were you?

Provisions and free passage under the superintendence of Mr. Peter Robinson.

5.  Had you any money when you came out and how much?

Five pounds.

6.  What are your present circumstances, as to house and other buildings, lands cleared and fenced and farming stock?

Seven acres fenced and four acres chopped, a dwelling house with offices. One cow, one hog.

7.  What family had you when you embarked?

8 persons.

8.  Did any of your family die on the passage to Quebec and if so how many?

None.

9.  What family have you now?

8 persons.

10.  Have any died since you landed at Quebec and if so how many?

One.

11.  What state of health were they in during the last year?

Sickly but now healthy.

12.  To what value had you produce or livestock to dispose of in the last year, above what you required for your family?

Had nothing to dispose of.

13.  On what kind of provisions does your family usually subsist?

Bread, potatoes, Indian meal, a little meat, milk and butter.

14.  Are you pleased with your situation in Upper Canada?

I am.

15.  Have your comfort and happiness been increased by coming to Upper Canada?

Yes.

16.  Would you advise any of your in the country you left, whose situation there is the same as yours was, to come to Upper Canada upon the same terms that you did?

I wish all my friends and relations were with me and in as good a situation.

17.  Suppose the government had furnished you and your family with a passage out, paid your expenses to your lands, gives you 100 acres free of expense, provisions for a year, ad the necessary farming utensils, and that this was done upon the condition that you should repay the sum advanced by annual installments, beginning to pay at the end of 5 years and after you had been settled and paying ? pounds in each year after, until the whole was paid up.  Would it have been in your power to make those payments?

I think I would be very well able to pay it by installments after 5 years.

18.  Knowing Upper Canada as you do now, would you think it advisable for a head of a family in Ireland, who is now poor and without employment to accept such terms?

I would and have done so in my letters home.

19.  Would it better for him to receive from government after landing in Quebec, 260 pounds or whatever  or whatever may be necessary for taking himself and his family to his land, finding him provisions for one year and farming utensils, upon the condition of his repaying to the government the amount so advanced to him, either in money or the produce of his land, or to be merely at Quebec and afterwards to depend upon his own exertions for establishing himself?

I would rather receive help from the government as I would never have been able to settle myself as comfortably as I am settled now.
