From the Miscellaneous Deeds and Wills collection at The Rooms (GN169) which are available in PDF form and can be downloaded by members only on the FHSNL website:

Volume 22

Volume 22 contains two documents of interest, both of which pertain to William Sweetland, formerly of Ferryland, but then, like his brother Benjamin, appointed as a Stipendiary Magistrate in the Northern District, in William's case to Bonavista.

Vol. 22, Page 29

This document is of particular interest because it has direct bearing on family lore which says that, after William's wife, Priscilla Anne Morry, the daughter of our immigrant ancestor, Matthew Morry, died in 1820, William effectively abandoned his children to the care of others and never really gave them much of his time or consideration after that. He remarried when he moved to Bonavista (ca 1838). His second wife was Elizabeth Newell. And this indenture is intended to ensure that in the event of his demise she would get all of his worldly possessions leaving nothing for his children by Priscilla. In effect, it was actually a living will, because even were he not to die but if any of the children were to make a claim on any of his possessions, this indenture would effectively prevent them from being successful, or at leas render the effort a matter for the courts to decide. At the time that this indenture was written, all six of his children were still alive and must have posed a perceived threat to his new wife.
