Toner Family
James Toner(b.1816, Dunmore, Parish of Drumachose, Co. Derry) &
Catherine Mullan(b.1814, Dunbeg, same parish & county), arrived N.B.
June 1841, lived on Nevers Road until 1853, then moved to the Guthrie Road
in what is now CFB Gagetown. In my time on Her Majesty's service,
the military maps marked "Toners Field" on the Guthrie Road, the location
of the farm. Prior to the expropriations, we took the hay and picked
the berries on the farm, and tried to do so after, but the Provosts were
quite active that close in to the base proper.
