Michael Brien

Abt 1810 - 1894  (~ 84 years)

• Name	Michael Brien
  Born	Abt 1810	Aquaforte, Newfoundland   [1]
  Although Michael's Vital Statistic death record says he was born at Aquaforte, there is no evidence to indicate that any Brien families settled there until the 1830s.
  Gender	Male
  Voter	1852	Fermeuse, Newfoundland   [2]
  Michael's name first appeared at Fermeuse in the 1852 Voters List for Ferryland District. He was the only voter with that surname in the settlement.
  Residence	1871	Fermeuse, Newfoundland   [3]
  Michael and Robert 'Brine' were recorded at Fermeuse in Lovell's 1871 Directory. I found no parish marriage or baptisms records for Robert. Two Brien marriages were later recorded in the parish records, however, at least one of these individuals, Timothy (m. Mary Bevis), appears to be from Ferryland. The second individual, Michael (m. Emma Conway), was Michael Brien Jr., a son of Michael Brien and Kate Dalton. He later moved to Providence, Rhode Island about 1906. In 1894, Michael Sr. and his son, Edward, were the only Brien heads of households recorded at Fermeuse.
  Died	8 Oct 1894	Fermeuse, Newfoundland   [4]
  Buried	Abt 10 Oct 1894	St. Charles Borromeo Cemetery, Fermeuse, Ferryland District, Newfoundland, Canada   [5]
  Michael's headstone says he was 78 years old while his Vital Statistic death record says he was 84.
