Notes:
Will:
John Battcock's will was written on September 10, 1835, with one codicil added later in November of that year. The probate request by Rev. Timothy Browne indicates that John was unmarried at the time of his death (about the end of December 1835) and his estate was worth about 400 pounds. It appears obvious from his will that John is a Roman Catholic, leaving 15 pounds to be used towards the erection of a "Roman Catholic Chapel in Brigus" and requesting that his "mortal remains be deposited in the burial ground of Brigus near to my deceased relatives and friends". He also bequeaths 8 pounds to the poor, and to his priest, whom he makes executor of his will, "the Revd. Mr. Browne whatever sum he may think proper to demand as a remuneration for his trouble loss of time and inconvenience which he has been to on my account". John's will is signed with an X (his mark) so it appears he was not literate.
