Hi Mike:
Starting about 1829 there were Stapletons in Ottawa. They may have been related to the Stapletons from St. Columbans.
The oldest seems to have been a Patrick Stapleton, born in Ireland. Here's his obituary:
3 Nov 1847 (Notre Dame RC Church in Ottawa)
Funeral service for Patrick Stapleton who died yesterday morning, aged about 58
Witnesses: Patrick Stapleton & Philibert Bastien
Here's another Stapleton:
27 Feb 1839
Baptism of Mathew, born the 26th last of the marriage of Owen Hoy / Hoey and Julia Stapleton
Witnesses: Michael Quinn & Mrs. O'Connor
Owen Hoey was a blacksmith. He and his wife lived for a time in Arnprior, Ontario, 40 miles west of Ottawa. I believe that there also were Hoy / Hoey families at St. Columbans.
