2. | Brake, Thomas Matthews was born about 1792 in Unknown Location (son of Brake, Ralph Jr. and Matthews, Jane); died in in Unknown Location. Notes:
1849 list of inhabitants - Corner Brook, married 2 children, 4 in family
Per John Edgar:
According to the 4 baptismal records #21-24, Thomas and Mary had Benjamin, Thomas, Ralph and Madeleine baptised on Friday, 03 August 1849 by the Rev Todd Jones, one of the priests accompanying Biship Feild. It is still a mystery as to what Mary's surname was. Some argue that Captain Jock was Captain Jock Mitchell. However, that may be wishful thinking on their part. On the other hand it may turn out to be true. At the moment it is all conjecture. In this business you have to conjecture...just keep it to yourself...the next person reporting it leaves off the conjecture cautions.
Thomas married Mary (MicMac). Mary and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Contents of Ralph Brakes Will as sent from Diana Southern email - DianaMSouthern@aol.com
Briefly, here are the contents of Ralph Brake's will dated 1838. It was
proved at it's third attempt in 1866, previous years, 1844 and 1848, but by
that time only one son, William Matthews Brake survived. Apparently Edward,
the educated one, had intermeddled with his father's estate in England and I
don't know what happened to the money. It is all down on the administration
of 1866 in "black and white"
In the will Ralph left:- son, John Matthews Brake - £40, son, Joseph
Matthews Brake - £100, daughter Elizabeth Matthews Brake, wife of Thomas Park
- £20, daughter Jane Matthews Brake, wife of William Wheeler - £20, son,
Robert Matthews Brake - £100, remainder after payment of debts etc. to sons,
Robert Matthews Brake, Ralph Matthews Brake, William Matthews Brake, Thomas
Matthews Brake, and Edward Matthews Brake equally as long as these six
remained in partnership with each other, but if any of the sons came out of
the partnership before Ralph's death, then he was to be paid £100 in full
discharge of his share. If any of the brothers in partnership should died
before Ralph's death, then the business was to be diviided amongst the
remaining brothers in that partnership.
William Blanchard of the BOI and Joseph Bird from England were the executors.
Ralph married Matthews, Jane about 1795 in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Jane (daughter of Matthews, Old Man) was born about 1773 in Burgeo, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada; died about 1819 in Bonne Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada; was buried in Bay of Islands, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
