Notes
a. Note:   [McCarthy11012000.FTW]
  Information taken from records of the St. Famile RC Church, Gloucester Co. NB records, New Limerick, & Houlton, Maine Town Hall records, and 1850 through 1910 census films of Bathurst NB, New Limerick, & Houlton, Maine and the Aroostook County Land, & Court records.
  Baptism sponsors William Baldwin, and Judith Calnan
  I have baptism certificate from St. Famile RC church in Bathurst. Catherine's last name is spelled Crownin on that record.
  In Michael's will he leaves one shilling each to his three sons John, Michael, and William. To his son James one shilling, and if he should return, and take care of his wife, and three young sons, he leaves him the eastern 50 acres of lot number 9 at Salmon Beach. Should James fail to comply, he leaves the said land to Andrew, with James having no claim to the land! To Andrew, he leaves the next adjoining 50 acres of land on the western side of that part first described. The said Andrew not to have possession of the said 50 acres, until he has reached the full age of 21, and he will remain and work at home with my other sons, until they are of age. To his youngest sons, Patrick, Florence, and Thomas, he leaves the hundred acres on the western side containing the homestead, to be divided equally, when the youngest is of the full age of 21, and they agree each, and all to support and provide for their mother, my wife as long as she remain single, and unmarried. the new barn is to be shared by all until they all share in the completion of a new barn for the ones who inherit the land that doesn't contain this barn. When Patrick sells his share consisting of the eastern 1/3 acres of the western 1/2 of lot number 9 To John Smith in 1872, the barn is excluded from the sale, so evidently the barn was found to be situated on that section.
  I have a copy of a deed transferring the western 2/3s of the western 1/2 of lot number 9 Salmon beach containing 66 2/3 acres, and including the barn situated on the eastern 1/3 of the western 1/2 of lot number nine land currently owned and occupied by John Smith, to George Willis by Richard Smith I think that it says 21 July 1884. I think it goes on to include the west fifty acres of the eastern 1/2 of lot number nine bequeathed by the late Michael McCarthy to Andrew McCarthy, which is bounded on the east by land now owned by Jasper Willis. The same land conveyed to Jasper Willis by James, and Andrew McCarthy.
  I suspect that Frank probably sold his land at Salmon beach to Richard Smith just prior to purchasing the land in New Limerick in 1875
