I have some information on one of the Chugg family members Charles Robert Chugg who lived for a time in 1890 on Lot 1 Concession III Rideau Front of Gloucester Township.

Charles and his brother Ebenezer Rogers Chugg- Aylmer Road ran dairies which folded into the Ottawa Dairy. Both are mentioned in news articles about dairy milk, Liberal meetings, and agricultural fairs. Charles also frove for the Ottawa Dairy. The boys along with their brother Phillip Elisha Chugg moved to Parkbeg, Saskatchewan and Granum Alberta as men in their forties and began farming and dairy farms once again. Charles did quite well on his farm until his admittance into the Mental Hospital succumbing to his ailment in a just over a year. He is buried in Mortlach, Saskatchewan. His daughters moved back to the Ottawa area and married. His son Eddie contracted TB and spent a short time in Ottawa before his death. He was buried at age 21 in Beechwood cemetery. Charles' wife, Katharine Thompson Chugg(of Wakefield, Que.) moved to Alberta to live with her sister Anne Jane Thompson Chugg. Both sisters married Chugg brothers. 

Eb has dairy tokens in the Bank of Canada numismatic museum. 

I am searching for more records about Charles Robert Chugg. I am also looking for the burial spot of the Chugg boys' father- Philip Chugg. Philip moved to Canada in about 1835 from Barnstaple England. His first wife, Deborah Routliffe died early in their marriage. His second wife, Catherine Davis of South March, Ontario raised her family at the homestead along the Aylmer Road. She sold milk and eggs at the market in Ottawa.She is buried in Alberta. Philip died in 1885. We know that the Chugg boys owned burial plots in Beechwood Cemetery and Pinks Mountain Cemetery. We have no information on where Philip might be buried. 

Any help with any documents, maps, photos regarding the Chugg Family would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,  Michael Philip Chugg

Hi Michael,

 

I don’t know if I can help you too much. 

 

I have not found Philip’s burial site.  There is a good chance that it is unmarked. 

 

I did notice that the family moved between the 1881 and 1891 census.  From the Quebec side to Nepean Township.  Ebenezer was living separately with the Honeywell family but they also lived in Nepean.  In the 1901 census, they lived in the city of Ottawa.  Charles and Ebenezer were no longer in Ottawa by 1911.  Charles was listed near Moose Jaw Saskatchewan in the 1911 census. 

 

There is many, many references to the Chugg family in Gloucester Assessment records.  In 1908, Philip was assessed for 35 acres in the northeast quarter of Lot 5 Consession 2 Rideau Front.  This is in vicinity of McCarthy Road and Hunt Club Road. 

 

In the same year, Charles was listed with 12.5 acres in lot 1 Concession 3 Rideau Front (south of Walkley likely on Bank Street).  Charles postal address was listed as Billings Bridge.  This property is very close to where my great grandparents lived. They also live in lot 1 Concession 3 during the same time period.   

 

In 1905, Ebenezer  was assessed for 114 acres of the northeast part lot 15 Concession 1 Ottawa Front.  This is near Montreal Road and close to the present day Queensway interchange.   Ebenezer’s postal address was Cummings Bridge at the time.   

 

Charles and Philip appeared in Gloucester assessment rolls from 1895 until 1908.  Ebenezer and Thomas also appeared in one or more years.  Starting in 1911, Hector, Harry and Mrs. James Chugg appear in assessment rolls until 1919 (more or less when Internet access ends).  The latter (which may not be related) had lots in the vicinity of Billings Bridge. 

 

A full study of the Gloucester assessment rolls will be needed to determine all the properties that the Chugg family had owned at one time or another.  And from there, the details can be further examined at the Land Registry Office located on Elgin Street at Laurier Avenue in the Provincial Court House building.

 

Sincerely,

Hi Glen,

So many thanks for more information of the Chugg family. The Gloucester years were years when the Chugg boys continued to run their dairy businesses and maintain jobs as well. They leased two rail cars in 1914 and headed to Parkbeg Saskatchewan ( Charlie) and Leavings(Granum) Alberta. Brother, John remained in Ottawa as an Ottawa electric supervisor. His children grandchildren and great grandchildren lived and live in the region still. John and his family are buried in Beechwood. 

The Chugg grandsons, John Henry, Hector senior and Earl Minto Chugg all served in World War I. Their great grandfather Joseph Davis  of March Ontario and Cambridge Street (1881)served with the 5th Regiment of Foot as a young man and possibly with the 1st Regiment in his 40's, possibly serving at the Battle of Inkerman.  He had a grandson via William Davis named Inkerman Davis who was named after that battle in Sevastopole. William and Inkerman ended up in Astoria Oregon where William is buried. 

We are still looking for death records for Joseph Davis of about 1881 and for Sarah Davis sometime after that. Sarah lived with he son-in-law Philip Elisha Chugg,(My great grandfather) who lived in Gloucester before moving out to Alberta.

I greatly appreciate the time you spent helping our family learn our story. Tiny tidbits offer great gains in learning the entire story!

So grateful, Glen.

Sincerely,

Michael Philip Chugg

HI Glen,

Just a quick update. I was fortunate enough to acquire only the fourth known set of Ebenezer Chugg's quart and dairy tokens crafted by Andrews and Pritchard. This is the first time in over 100 years that the family has his milk tokens back in its possession.  Your work solidified my research on the last years of the Chugg brothers in Ottawa. While John Chugg and his sons, stayed on  (one descendant works for Ottawa Hydro and another has his own private contractor business), the rest moved west. Interestingly, two of their daughters moved back to the Ottawa area. One lived and farmed in Chelsea and is buried there. She married Mac Diotte.   Anyway, just a quick note. Thanks again.   Michael Chugg
