Notes
General:
220615:

Though not born in Newfoundland himself, his will was registered in Newfoundland, perhaps because there were possibilities that his unusual bequest to his housekeeper of all his earthly goods might be challenged by his Newfoundland relatives. It has been transcribed by Sheila Tiberio, Judy Benson & Ivy F. Benoit and is available on the NGB website:
