    Notes:

    Information from the will of William Batcock - Vol. 2 Folio 248 - 1857 Of Brigus South

    William Battcock appears to be sole progenitor for the continuance of the family name at Brigus. He married in the ealy 1820s and had at least 6 children, 4 sons and 2 daughters. By the time he made his will in 1857, all six were adults, although his daugther Eleanor predeceased him in 1855 at the age of 27. His other daughter, Mary, who married John Higgins and had several children, was still living at Brigus. Amongst his sons, John had married Mary Cashin from nearby Cape Broyle and had started a family early in the 1850s. His son Thomas had been married since the mid 1840s and Thomas' eldest son, John,was left property by his grandfather in his will. William's sons, Michael and Peter, who appear to be still single in 1857, were also left property in their father's will.

    William's will again seems to bear witness that he and his family were now staunchly Roman Catholic. In his will he makes the following bequest: "And I also make this provision to this my will that my children & above heirs will and are bound to pay one pound annually to the pastor of this parish for the Holy Sacrifice to be offered for the repose of my soul & that of my wife & the deceased members of my family forever." In addition, he also appoints the parish priest, Father James Murphy, as one of the executors of his will.

    His wife Eleanor/Ellen is still living at the time of the writing of his will and William makes it clear that while she survives him she will retain full possession of his estate. From their headstone in the Brigus cemetery we find that this is the case but in less than four months after his death, William's wife passes away as well.

    Headstone - Brigus South Cemetery:

    ERECTED TO THE MEMORY OF WILLIAM BATTCOCK WHO DIED AUGUST 26TH 1857 AGED 64 YEARS AND HIS WIFE ELEANOR WHO DIED DECEMBER 7TH, 1857 AND ALSO THEIR DAUGHTER ELEANOR WHO DIED FEBRUARY 28TH 1855 AGE 27 YEARS. MAY THEY REST IN PEACE.

    Other Events:

    • Will: 10 Sep 1835, Brigus South, Newfoundland

    Notes:

    Will:
    John Battcock's will was written on September 10, 1835, with one codicil added later in November of that year. The probate request by Rev. Timothy Browne indicates that John was unmarried at the time of his death (about the end of December 1835) and his estate was worth about 400 pounds. It appears obvious from his will that John is a Roman Catholic, leaving 15 pounds to be used towards the erection of a "Roman Catholic Chapel in Brigus" and requesting that his "mortal remains be deposited in the burial ground of Brigus near to my deceased relatives and friends". He also bequeaths 8 pounds to the poor, and to his priest, whom he makes executor of his will, "the Revd. Mr. Browne whatever sum he may think proper to demand as a remuneration for his trouble loss of time and inconvenience which he has been to on my account". John's will is signed with an X (his mark) so it appears he was not literate.


  4. 5.  Michael Badcock Descendancy chart to this point (1.Mary1) was born Aft 1800, Brigus South, Newfoundland; died Aft 1847.

    Notes:

    Very little is known of Michael Battcock other than that he lived to manhood. He is mentioned in his brother John's will in 1835 and in the 1838 petition after his father death. His name only appears once in the voters list and that was in 1847. Since there was generally only one vote per household, we can speculate that Michael never married and probably lived most of his life with another member of his family; therefore not being a dwelling owner owner or a rent-paying tenant, he was not eligible to vote.


  5. 6.  Elizabeth Badcock Descendancy chart to this point (1.Mary1) was born Aft 1800, Brigus South, Newfoundland; died Yes, date unknown.

    Notes:

    BATTCOCK, Rev. Fr. Evening Telegram September 13, 1910 (Tuesday)

    Sad Death of Rev. Fr. Battcock. Special to the Evening Telegram. Holyrood, To-Day.
    The Rev. Father Battcock - the dearly beloved parish priest of Holyrood - died
    suddenly at 8.30 p.m. yesterday. Father Battcock was in the best of health yesterday
    forenoon, said his morning Mass as usual, and went for a drive with some visiting friends to
    the South Side in the afternoon. During the drive he was seized with a severe pain in the
    heart, and returned home in less than an hour. While resting on the couch he had some
    severe attacks; but afterwards sufficiently rallied to take some tea and chat pleasantly with
    his guests. He even accompanied his visitors halfway to join the train, walking and talking
    pleasantly. Returning home the pain again became severe and he went to bed. Not long
    afterwards he fell into the sleep of death. The Rev. Father Sheehan and Dr. Jones were
    called, but death had claimed its victim. The suddenness of the death of the dearly beloved
    Priest has stricken the community with deep sorrow, and everyone mourns the loss of one
    of the best and kindest of Priests and a generous and noble-hearted gentleman. The Rev.
    Fr. Battcock has laboured acceptably and successfully in the missions of King's Cove,
    Bay-de-Verde, Holyrood, St. Brendan's, Gambo, and Holyrood the second time, in all of
    which places he was the Saggarth Aroon. But he has gone to receive the reward of the
    faithful steward. His relatives and people have our warmest sympathy.

    Buried:
    He was buried beneath Holy Cross Church.

    Cold NW wind. Fr. Battcock passed on to Brigus. Brother to Fr. G, William Battcock, died this morning from the effects of a gun accident."

    A TRAGIC DEATH The following two articles from the St. John’s Morning Chronicle give us just about all we know of a terrible accident which occurred in December 1880 probably in the wooded hills between Cape Broyle and Brigus South. The first appears in the paper of Tuesday, December 14:

    LOCAL AND OTHER ITEMS

    ACCIDENT - On Saturday last an accident of a most melancholy nature happened in Cape Broyle, by which a young man named Badcock, about 18 years of age, received what was feared to be at the time a mortal wound. It appears that the unfortunate man and an elder brother were out shooting when the latter’s gun, in some way unknown at present, was discharged and lodged its contents in the body of the poor fellow, thereby inflicting a wound from which he will in all probability never recover. The general opinion was, when our informant left, that he would not outlive Saturday night.

    A follow-up article appeared on Thursday, December 16:

    LOCAL AND OTHER ITEMS

    Latest news from Cape Broyle confirms our fears as to the fate of the young man Badcock, who was accidently shot by his companion last week - he having died on Saturday evening. We stated in our last issue that the wound was inflicted by his brother’s gun. This statement we have been since informed was inaccurate, the companion of the deceased young man at the time being a cousin, by the name of Gregory. The deceased was much respected on the Southern Shore, and leaves behind him many to mourn his sad and untimely end. He was the brother of the Rev. Father Badcock, who at present officiates at Flowers Cove.
