No. 444
Quebec Archives Film # M401-4030



On the second day of April in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty nine at the request of John Bethel of the City of Quebec, Boot and shoemaker, We the undersigned Notaries Public duly admitted and commissioned for that part of the province of Canada called Lower Canada and residing at Quebec went to the residence of the said John Bethel situated in St. John's Street in the Upper Town of Quebec where being we found the said John Bethel sitting in a chair in a room in the front part of the second flat of said house weak of body but of sound and disposing mind, memory, hearing and judgment as appeared unto us the said Notaries by his manner and conversation who declared unto us that he was desirous of making and publishing his Last Will and Testament which he accordingly requested John Simpson Hossack one of us to reduce and commit to writing.

Whereupon the said John Bethel being weak of body but of sound and disposing mind, memory, hearing and judgment as aforesaid did accordingly make, publish, and dictate his Last Will and Testament by word to John Simpson Hossack one of the said Notaries in the presence and hearing of Fisher Langlois his colleague being all the time present, as follows, that is to say:

Notes by Patricia Balkcom: John died the next day at the reported age of 57 years. It appears that John never married, he was the son of William Bethel and Ann McBride. William and his three sons were master shoemakers. I tried to trace the people mentioned in the will as to their relationship to John –

Mary Bethel – sister of John – married to “Ward” and then remarried (I could not find either marriage)
William Bethel – “my nephew” is the son of John’s brother, William and Bridget Kiernerny. William, the nephew, married Emma Thompson in 1860.

Charles Fitzpatrick – is married to Phoebe Bethel. This is another sister of John's.

James Fitzsimmons – is married to Mary Delaney. Mary Delaney’s mother is Margaret Bethel. Margaret Bethel is also a sister of John.

Thomas Sinnet – I do not know who he is.

Ann Delaney – married to Andrew Sweeney is the daughter of John Delaney and Margaret Bethel. Ann is also the sister to Mary Delaney (married to James Fitzsimmons).5
