    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.

    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.

    Joseph Brake
    Joseph was referred to by J. B. Jukes in 1839 (1993:52) as an Indian:
    On the opposite side of the sound to the old man's house we found an Indian wigwam, with an old Indian woman and her two daughters, one of the latter of whom has a daughter married to one of the old man's sons opposite. The old woman had a kind of moustache tattooed on each cheek, and spoke nothing but Indian, but one of the daughters could speak English. An Indian man, the husband of one of the daughters, was living with them, but was now away in the woods.

    This daughter of the old Indian woman was Mary Mitchell. The old woman's husband was Captain Jock Mitchell
    [antecedent of Matthew Mitchell].

    August 3, 1849. We went on shore directly after breakfast to visit a family who had returned from the fishery yesterday evening. The man is a Brake, brother to the Brakes mentioned before. The mother is a Micmac Indian from St. George's Bay... Her father, she said, was Captain Jock. Four of their children were baptized with the conditional form.
