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.
