Note by Patricia Balkcom:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The O\u2019Neill\u2019s moved to the farm at Little River shortly before they sold all of their land through this transaction.\u00a0 The Valcartier land had been in the family for over 40 years.\u00a0 It can only be assumed that Thomas believed the land at Little River would be more fertile and more productive than the Valcartier land. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
