 From records of Cyrille Renaud
 No. 2506
Quebec Archives – Translated from the Original

On this twenty seventh day of June, one thousand nine hundred and three, before me Cyrille Renaud, Public Notary residing in the parish of St. Ambroise, personally appeared Robert Clark, Farmer, residing in the Parish of St. Gabriel of Valcartier who being of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding hath requested us, the said Notary and witnesses, to write down and receive in due form of law his last will and testament which he has declared in manner and form following:

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.

2º I give and bequeath to my son James Clark, residing in said parish of St. Gabriel of Valcartier all my moveable and immoveable properties wherever the same may be and to whatever the same shall amount hereby constituting my said son James Clark my universal legatee.
I. This legacy is made by the Testator to the charge to support his mother, Dorothy Rourke, during her life, to procure to her every thing necessary to the life, and to take good care of his mother as a good son and these conditions sont de rigueur.
II. To the charge to pay the sum of one hundred dollars to my daughter Margaret Clark one year after my death.
III. To pay the sum of fifty dollars to his other sisters, Elizabeth, wife of David Hornby & Agnes, wife of Armand Harris, two years after my death.

I commute, constitute and appoint my said son James Clark as Executor of this my will and testament.

I revoke all will and testament I may have heretofore made and I declare the present to be my only true last will and testament.

Done and passed at Valcartier under Notarial Number two thousand five hundred and six,

And after the reading of the said testament to the said Testator in presence of James Clark and Henry Davis, both farmers residing at Valcartier, witnesses requested for the present will, the Testator having declared his inability to sign his name has made his mark in presence of the witnesses and Notary and the Notary and witnesses have signed in the presence of the Testator and in the presence of each other.

(Witness) Baptism21 November 1786Judith Duffy; Kilkullen Catholic Church, Kilkullen, County Kildare, Leinster Province, Ireland; Analysis of baptismal research:
- Only one baptism found for a Julia or Judith Duff in surviving Dublin city registers (1780-1805): baptized January 1781 at St. Mary’s Pro Cathedral to Peter and Ellinor Duff, sponsors Walter Golding and Anne Mulloy. If this is correct, Judith would have been nearly 50 when her daughter Catherine was born in Canada in 1830—this seems unlikely.

- Another record for Judith Duff: baptized November 21, 1786 at Kilcullen RC, Kildare, to Patritius (Patrick) and Anna Duff, sponsors Peter Kane & Maria Clarke. This is a distinct possibility. This latter date matches Canadian records of her birth year. It is in the same parish as a baptism for a John O'Neill and also Navin (Nevin) families lived in this area (Sarah, Judith's sister, married a John Nevin from Kildare in Dublin. In later years, a John and Judith O'Neill from this area had two daughters - Bridget in 1817 and Ann in 1813. The Bridget baptism aligns with Canadian records for the family. The Ann baptism is approximately the correct date, but the child in Canada was called Elizabeth.

- Negative considerations include that Judith's gravestone indicates she was from County Dublin. (Could this be a mistake made after her death by the person commissioning her gravestone? There was a Duff family living in County Wicklow during this time and this church would have been the closest to them. Additionally, as this church was in the Diocese of Dublin, could that be why her origin was listed as Dublin on the gravestone?)

The couple who are listed as parents of Judith in 1786, Patrick and Ann Duff, also had two sons named James (born 1789 & 1792). Judith and John named a son "James" but not "Patrick." They did not name any daughters Ann, however, that baptism in 1813 of an Ann could possibly be attributed to a daughter who might have been named Ann Elizabeth and called only Elizabeth.1
