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. Edward Sweeney, his signature Ferdinad Murphy, his signature Michael Mooney, his signature H. Paisley, Priest, 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.4 Witness: Bernard Sweeney Witness: John Sweeney Witness: Mary Sweeney Witness: Ellen Sweeney Witness: Patrick Sweeney Witness: Rose Brougham Witness: Michael Mooney Witness: Rose Sweeney Witness: James Sweeney |

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.

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. Edward Sweeney, his signature Ferdinad Murphy, his signature Michael Mooney, his signature H. Paisley, Priest, 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.1 |

| Land* | 25 November 1882 | Margaret Gallaher; West Flamborough, Wentworth County, Ontario, Canada; From the land record books for West Flamborough housed at the East Flamborough-Waterdown Heritage Society: Owen McLaughlin sold to Francis Sweeney part of Concession 6, Lot 7 (1 acre) originally in Instrument #597, in West Flamborough by B/S for $300 on 25 November 1882 and registered on November 29 (Instrument #3873). on 25 November 1882.

| Residence* | 1891 | John Michael Sweeney; West Flamborough, Wentworth County, Ontario, Canada; In the Farmers' Directory for West Flamboro Township, Wentworth County, Ontario, he is listed as "Francis Sweeney, freeholder, in West Flamboro (Hamilton Post Office) on Concession 6, Lot 7." "John Sweeney, (who I believe is his half-brother,) is listed as a freeholder in West Flamboro, (Hayesland Post Office, Concession 5, Lot 7." Note: They did not have the whole lot. The corner of the 5th concession had a functioning post office named Hayesland after the Hayes family, who I assume Elizabeth Hayes was a member of. Although John Sweeney is listed as a freeholder, from his probate records, which state that he does not own any land, and a sale of the land by his widow, Elizabeth, in 1901, it appears that the land was actually owned by Elizabeth and not John. It appears that the land was originally bought in 1865, by Edward Kelly before 1865 and that it was then owned by Elizabeth when Edward died in 1881.18 |

| (Witness) Will | 20 April 1835 | Edward Sweeney; St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Quebec County, Quebec, Canada; 20th April 1835 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. Edward Sweeney, his signature Ferdinad Murphy, his signature Michael Mooney, his signature H. Paisley, Priest, 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) Will | 20 April 1835 | Edward Sweeney; St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Quebec County, Quebec, Canada; 20th April 1835 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. Edward Sweeney, his signature Ferdinad Murphy, his signature Michael Mooney, his signature H. Paisley, Priest, 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 Sale | 15 September 1835 | Edward 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.4 |

| Residence* | 1891 | Francis Sweeney; West Flamborough, Wentworth County, Ontario, Canada; In the Farmers' Directory for West Flamboro Township, Wentworth County, Ontario, he is listed as "Francis Sweeney, freeholder, in West Flamboro (Hamilton Post Office) on Concession 6, Lot 7." "John Sweeney, (who I believe is his half-brother,) is listed as a freeholder in West Flamboro, (Hayesland Post Office, Concession 5, Lot 7." Note: They did not have the whole lot. The corner of the 5th concession had a functioning post office named Hayesland after the Hayes family, who I assume Elizabeth Hayes was a member of. Although John Sweeney is listed as a freeholder, from his probate records, which state that he does not own any land, and a sale of the land by his widow, Elizabeth, in 1901, it appears that the land was actually owned by Elizabeth and not John. It appears that the land was originally bought in 1865, by Edward Kelly before 1865 and that it was then owned by Elizabeth when Edward died in 1881.3 |
