Research Overview |
Caplin Bay, Newfoundland |
- Matthew's surname is spelled several different ways (Phelan, Whealan, & Whalan) in the Voters Lists and other documents. Although we know the name is Irish, there is no indication if this Matthew came from Ireland, or if he may have been born in Newfoundland.
Southern District Deeds - 1825 - 1888 -- Vol. 3 - Folio 3 - June 24, 1836 - (£10)
This is for the sale of two pieces of property, with a dwelling house, known as Gregory's Plantation on the south side of Caplin Bay. The land is being sold by Matthew Morry of Caplin Bay, merchant, and it appears that Benjamin Sweetland of Caplin Bay and (Father) Timothy Browne, clerk (cleric?), of Ferryland are providing funds for the purchase. There is a fairly good description of both pieces of land. It notes that the boundary of one piece of land, is a fishing room owned by Matthew Morry. Another interesting part is that, although Matthew Morry appears to own the property and is selling it, the sale is conditional. He states that it is to be occupied by Matthew Whelan, his wife Margaret and their children, and that it is being sold "in Trust" for Margaret Whelan and her children. It also states that if Matthew Whelan dies, it is still to be used for the benefit of Margaret Whelan and her children, but if Margaret remarries, then the land would be used to benefit only whichever one of her children "seem most to require support and assistance". There is no explanation for these conditions.
