Robert Corrigan

For the American university president, see Robert A. Corrigan.

Robert Corrigan, (c. 1816 19 October 1855) was born in County Tyrone.

Corrigan's family immigrated to Canada sometime after 1831 and settled on lots in Saint-Sylvestre, Lower Canada a predominantly Roman Catholic area. He became a farmer there and converted to Anglicanism. This caused a great deal of strife and led, at least indirectly, to his death from a vicious beating.

He was buried 27 October in Leeds, Lower Canada.
