John Rossiter

Notes:

Vol. 3 - Folio 279 - Nov. 11, 1842 (15 pounds)

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!
