William Mulligan's burial record was found in the Parish registers for Cavan Twp., Ontario, Canada (inc. St. John's, Ida; Millbrook, St. Thomas, Bailieboro; Christ Church), 1819-1927 at the Anglican Diocese of Toronto Archives, Ontario, Canada. His wife Mary Blackstock is probably buried with him.
The Mulligans were among the first arrivals in CavanTownship, Durham County, Newcastle District, Upper Canada. Cavan Township, which later became part of Peterborough County, Ontario, Canada, was settled by Irish-Anglos and their descendants. Mulligan family heads included Joshua (1789-1870); William (1791-1841) and Robert (1802-?) They arrived years before the Great Famine, lured by the promise of "independence" in the new world. Some of the settlers were military claimants, the sons and daughters of United Empire Loyalists or veterans of the Napoleonic Wars, but the Mulligans were farmers from Cavan County, Ireland.
Cavan Township was still a primeval forest where tall white pines dwarfed both man and beast. Barns and mills were built first with schools and churches quickly following. St. John's was an Anglican church built in a little hamlet called St. Ida's the early 1830s, but Methodism also flourished.
Many of the settlers came from the Protestant county in Ireland with the same name: "William Mulligan, farmer of Township of Cavan and native of Cavan Co., Ireland and having just arrived in the province..." and "William Mulligan, a Native of Ireland, now of the Township of Cavan, a weaver, hath taken the Oath of Allegiance, as required by us, at York in the Home District, this 2nd day of July in the Year of Our Lord One thousand eight hundred and nineteen." This document was signed with William's mark. [Upper Canada Land Petitions, M 12, entry #224 (3 July 1819), Archives of Ontario microfilm C-2201]
