July 30, 1857 " This is the Last Will and Testament of one John Shaw of St. John's in the Island of Newfoundland, farmer. In the first place, I give and bequeath unto my wife Ann Shaw the house I now reside in and the garden thereunto belonging to hold the same so long as she shall live and upon her death the said house and garden shall go to my sons hereafter named share and share alike.
In the second place I give and bequeath unto my sons Robert, Samuel, William, David, Henry and John all my farm situate on the road leading to Pokempath (except the house and garden hereinbefore bequeathed to my wife) to hold the same forever share and share alike. And it is my will and desire that in the event of any of my said sons desiring a division or partition of the same that the said farm shall be equally and fairly divided into a lot for each son. The oldest son to have his choice and the others to choose their lots in rotation according to their respective ages the oldest always having the choice.
I give and bequeath unto my said son David all my farming stock and utensils to hold the same to his own use forever.
Lastly I give and bequeath my household furniture and all other property of which I shall be possessed of to my said wife for her own use and benefit to hold the same forever.
I appoint my said wife and my son Robert to be the Executors of this my Last Will and Testament dated at St. John's aforesaid this 30th day of July A.D. 1857. (signed) John Shaw
Signed sealed published and declared in presence of _________(signature illegible)_____________ I can tell you that on July 2, 1835 he was granted this land. Pg. 345, Original Registry, Volume 2, Folio 54, Lot No. 134
"Piece and Parcel of Land situate and being on the south side of the road commonly called Pokeham Path, bounded on the north by the said road, on the east by a Cross Road communicating therewith, on the south partly by the property of the assigns of the late Alexander Cormack, and partly by land granted to Simon Solomon and on the west by William Dooling's land." MAMMEY@aol.com
We were speaking the other day about the location of Pokempath and the 1835 Land Grand to my GGrandfather, John Shaw. A fellow lister ID's Pokeham's Path as follows: "When New Gowar St. was known as Middle Path, Hamilton St., Hamilton Ave., and Hamilton Ave Ext was known as Pokeham's Path." This makes sense, since I knew he lived on Shaw St., St. John's at one point and I believe the Land Grant in question was very close to that. Shirley MAMMEY@aol.com
