The Memorial of Patrick Evoy of Capelin Bay, Fisherman Humbly sheweth That Memorialists Father died about Thirty years ago leaving a Widow, Two Sons and Three Daughters shortly afterwards the Widow married again. That Memorialists Sisters are all married. That Memorialist is eldest of the family and carried on the fishery in partnership with his Brother, John Evoy, until the time of his death which happened in June 1825 on the close of their accounts that year with their Merchants Messrs Bully, Job and Cross they were considerably in debt. That memorialist has since paid off the debt. That at the time of the death of Memorialists said Brother John, he had an interest in a Plantation situated in Capelin Bay, together with some household furniture and other property amounting to about twenty pounds. That Memorialists said brother was not married and that he died intestate.

And our Memorialist as in duty bound will ever pray Patrick Evoy (X, his mark) Capelin Bay 3rd Sept 1831 Southern District 1825 - 1888, Volume 3 - Page 279 John Rossiter to Thomas Lackey Know all Men by these presents that I John Rossiter do acknowledge to have sold to Thos Lackey my right title and Interest of a dwelling House and garden at the North side of Caplin Bay which true and lawfully belong to me for the sum of fifteen pounds Sterling money of great Britain which sum is to be paid in presence of the under signed witnesses part to be paid when he receives possession of the said premises as witness my hand in Caplin Bay this 11th day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand eight Hundred and forty two.

Sworn at Ferrylandthis 26 th day of October 1844 Patrick EvoyBefore Geo. Simms of Nfd. Received from Thomas Lackey the amount of fifteen pounds Sterling what he was to pay me for my premises in Caplin Bay.St. Johns November 10th 1843£15.0.0 John RossiterWitness John Murphy I do hereby Certify that the foregoing Transfer from John Rossiter to Thomas Lackey was duly acknowledged before me on the eighth day of November AD 1844 by John Rossiter party thereto and Registered on the Twenty nineth day of December following. George SimmsRegistrar This was rather an informative one since it explains the disappearance of the Rossiter's from Athlone. On this date, John Rossiter sold the dwelling house and gardens on the north side of Caplin Bay to Thomas Lackey for 15 pounds. It appears that Thomas Lachey/Lockey/Lockay, etc. was a resident of Ferryland, North Side, but never moved to Caplin Bay. I thought that I had found the answer to the BIG question, however there is no record of Thomas Lackey selling property at Caplin Bay to Matthew Morry - unless Thomas Lackey bought it on pretext for Matthew Morry - to keep the price from being inflated by the seller. Solve one mystery and open up another one!
