From records of Notary Cyrille Renaud

On this eleventh day of August in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred, before me Cyrille Renaud, Public Notary, residing in the Parish of St. Ambroise of Jeune Lorette, and the Rev. Hugh McGratty, Priest, and David Lavallée, Farmer, and William Smith, Farmer, both of the Parish of St. Gabriel of Valcartier, witnesses requested for the effects of these presents, personally appeared Mrs. Mary Sullivan, widow of the late Frederick Kack, residing in the said Parish of St. Gabriel of Valcartier, who being of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding hath requested us the said Notary to write down and receive in due form of law her last will and testament which she has declared in manner and form following, that is to say:

1º I desire that all my just debts, funeral and testamentary expenses be paid by my Executor hereinafter named as soon as possible after my death with an anniversary mass and the sum of eighty dollars for low masses.

2º I give and bequeath to my nephew Charles Kack, son of Charles Kack, the emplacement and houses, buildings & stable belonging to me and situate in the City of Quebec, Parish of St. Roch, corner of the streets King and Dominique to the charge to pay the sum of fifty dollars to his brother Frederick Kack, and the sum of twenty five dollars to his cousin John Kack of Valcartier and Sarah Ann Kack, wife of Richard Douglas, Daniel Kack and Joseph Kack, sons of Joseph Kack, twenty five dollars each; and Elizabeth Kack and Mary Ann Kack the sum of twenty five dollars each and Esther Kack, wife of Patrick Brophy, the said sum of twenty five dollars, payable the said sums in the year following my death.

Note by Patricia Balkcom:Mary died the following day at the reported age of 74 years. However, when she married in 1854, it stated she was a minor, which would make her at least 7 years younger (67 years). I have found evidence of only one child of hers and it died shortly after birth. Her husband predeceased her in 1894.5 
Death*12 August 1900St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Quebec County, Quebec, Canada; On the 14th day of August 1900, we the undersigned, parish priest, have interred in the cemetery of this parish the body of Mary Sullivan, widow of the late Frederick Keck, farmer of this parish, deceased in this parish on the 12th inst., 74 years of age. Were prescent Charles Keck, junior, and Joseph McGrory, who signed. This act was duly read.

Andrew Sweeney, born May 20, 1859. Baptized in West Flamborough on June 11, 1859 by Fr. John O'Reilly. Parents were Francis Sweeney and Margaret Gallaher. Sponsors were John Haise and Mary Haise. (This is another spelling the priest used for the Hayes family. It is possible, although not proven, that these godparents were the parents of Elizabeth Hayes who later married John Sweeney.) (The church in Freelton was not built yet, so the baptism probably took place in the home in West Flamborough. Father O'Reilly was the priest from Dundas and was also the travelling missionary priest to this area. There was a mission church in Morriston, north of Freelton but it appears the baptism did not occur there).4

Last Will of Edward Sweeney
(Husband of Rose Brougham)
From Register of Holographic Wills, Testaments and Codicils, No. 170
Quebec Archives



On this twentieth day of April one thousand eight hundred and thirty five,
before us the undersigned Curate of St. Catherine and Missionary of Valcartier was present Edward Sweeney born in the Parish of Monasterevin, County of Kildare, Ireland and now residing in the Settlement of Valcartier, who being sick but at the same time enjoying his perfect senses and reason as it appeared to me and to the undersigned witnesses, has declared to me his desire of making his last will and testament; and has consequently dictated to me the following articles viz.:

1º He desires that he will die in the communion of the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Roman church.

2º He bequeaths his soul to the most holy and adorable Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost hoping that God will receive it in his great mercy and forgive him his sins.

3º He leaves his body to the earth from whence it was taken, and hopes that his family will give him a Christian burial.

4º He leaves to his wife, Rose Broughal [Brougham], the use of all his cattle, except one horse, and likewise all his house furniture until her death hoping that his sons, or any of them will take proper care of their mother but if she finds herself not well treated she will be at liberty to live with whomever she may please and in that case the chattels will be equally divided between his two sons, Bernard and John Sweeney and he binds them to give and pay to her yearly the sum of six pounds currency each one half as long as she lives.

5º He leaves and bequeaths to his two sons Bernard and John Sweeney his Lot of land situated in the fifth concession of Valcartier, Seigniory St. Gabriel, to each of them one half, but his son Bernard will have the liberty to take his choice of either of the said halves, and likewise he shall have the new house which is nearly to be raised and the present old house for a barn under condition that he will help his brother John when required to build twelve feet in addition to the little house and raise the whole two feet higher.

6º He reserves on his Lot one acre upon which the buildings are erected to belong to his two said sons in common (en communauté) so that they may have no difference about the site of these buildings.

7º He leaves and bequeaths exclusively to his son Bernard the grey horse, harness, cart and camisole in full property.

8º He leaves and bequeaths to his sons Bernard and John Sweeney his said Lot of land under the following conditions: That neither of them will have the liberty to sell his part to any stranger without the free consent of the other, but if he wishes to leave the place, he will offer and give it up to the remaining brother at a yearly rent or at a fair price according to the advice and judgment of any three decent men known by them.

9º He leaves and bequeaths to his daughter Mary the sum of seven pounds currency and to his daughter Rose the sum of ten pounds currency and to his daughter Ellen the sum of seven pounds currency to be paid at the time of their marriage in three equal installments in equal proportion by the two brothers, or if they do not marry and wish not to live together in the family they will be paid by installments as aforesaid.

10º If any of his afore named children do behave badly according to the judgment of the officiating Priest of this Parish and of the present witnesses Ferdinand Murphy and Michael Mooney, his will is that they or any of them be deprived of all and every thing left to them by this his will, and their part shall be divided among his dutiful children.

This he has declared to me to be his last will and testament after having been now read according to law (lu et relu) in presence of Ferdinand Murphy and Michael Mooney present and who have signed with us.

Done and passed in the dwelling house of the said Edward Sweeney on the day aforesaid and have signed with us.

P.S. The said testator Edward Sweeney has further declared that his will is that he leaves nothing to any of his other children Patrick and James except one shilling British to be paid by his son Bernard when deceased.

Michael Mooney, his signature

Transcribed by Gerald Neville, May, 2011

Notes by Patricia Balkcom: Edward died 3 months later, on the 12th of July, at the age of about 56. Since this was not an advanced age, it might be assumed that he had a chronic illness such as tuberculosis. This is one of the few wills that we have found that actually mention the place of birth in Ireland. Edward had 4 sons and 4 daughters. Three of the daughters are named in the will – a fourth daughter, Catherine, is not. She married (to Michael Mooney) before the will was written, so Edward may have felt that she was “taken care of”. It is not known why he specifically mentioned Patrick and James as not being heirs.2 
(Witness) Land Sale15 September 1835Edward Sweeney; St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Quebec County, Quebec, Canada; SUMMARY
Deed of Sale- 15 September 1835
Bernard and John Sweeney, both farmers of Valcartier, sell to Pierre Bedard, farmer living in the Parish Saint Ambroise, Lot 19 in the Seigniory of St. Gabriel and all animals, buildings and moveable effects on the property, inherited from their father Edward’s will, for £150 currency (£75 currency for the land; £75 currency for the moveable effects, etc.). The sellers acknowledge receipt of £125 pounds currency from the purchaser with an obligation by the purchaser to pay the sellers the remaining £25 in the next 3 years without interest.

Addendum - 29 August 1839
Lawrence Mooney of Valcartier, acting as agent for Bernard and John Sweeney, now residents of the County of Wayne in the State of Michigan, United States of America, accepts £25 currency for Bernard and John Sweeney from Pierre Bedard.
Note by Patricia Balkcom: It appears that Bernard, John and Rose (Edward's wife) moved to Michigan shortly after Edward's death. See my notes under each individual's listing (Bernard, John & Rose). Also, at this time I do not know if the sale was to Pierre Bedard, Sr. or his son.7
