INTRODUCTION
Hamnett Pinhey Hill (1876-1942), an Ottawa lawyer, collected documents relating
to the early hilstory of Bytown. Much of this collection relates to the Pinhey,
Christie and Hill families. Mary Anne Pinhey married Dr. Hamnett Hill in 1844 and
their eldest son, Hamnett Pinhey Hill, married Margaret Christie. Legal papers of
the firm Hill and Hill are to be found in MG 28, III 46.
The collection was assembled by Hamnett Pinhey Hill, K.C. and presented to
the Publi c Archives in 1954 and 1956 by his son, Mr. Hamnett Pinhey Hill Jr. In
the origi nal arrangement, roman numerals were used to designate each group of file
of the papers of Doctor Alexander Christie and Hamnett Pinhey, within the group
or file, items were numbered. The papers are now divided in five series as
follows: 1. Christie Family
II Pinhey Family
III Hill Family
IV John Gray
V (cid:9) Miscellaneous
A card index covering parts of the collection in its original classification
serves as an incomplete conversion list to the new page numbers.
