Family
According to the first settler plaque, installed by the National Capital Commission, Ira Honeywell bought Lot 26, Concession I, Ottawa Front, Nepean Township in 1809. In 1810, Ira Honeywell came overland from Prescott County and built a log cabin near the site of the plaque. In 1811, Ira Honeywell brought his wife and three children, who became the first settlers in Nepean Township. Some of their descendents live nearby. Ira Honeywell was the son of Rice Honeywell, an American from the Mohawk Valley who immigrated to the Grenville County in Upper Canada.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“For every family had one cat at least in the bag.”
—Christopher Smart (1722–1771)
“Family lore can be a bore, but only when you are hearing it, never when you are relating it to the ones who will be carrying it on for you. A family without a storyteller or two has no way to make sense out of their past and no way to get a sense of themselves.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“There are no adequate substitutes for father, mother, and children bound together in a loving commitment to nurture and protect. No government, no matter how well-intentioned, can take the place of the family in the scheme of things.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
