| Description : | A double-spaced, typewritten transcript on white office paper the reverse of which is Geoffrey H. Sayers General Insurance letterhead. The transcript describes the rights of various Magrath family members to arrears in rents on land of Cloonakerney through a series of inheritances and settlements ending with Thomas Wm. Magrath who holds a bond against Robert Couzer Magrath for approximately 200 pounds. Robert Couzer Magrath has left his wife and child living with her mother and is now "said to be in North America". Thomas writes: "but if you could procure an amicable arrangement and get 150 pounds, with all costs paid in hand, our family would prefer taking it to going to Extremes with our relations." Thomas signs a power of attorney for Weldon Molony act as his lawful Attorney in the case. |
| Fonctions : | Thomas Magrath was born in Ireland in 1804. In 1832 he went back to Ireland to act as Agent for the Magrath properties and stayed two years. Thomas served in the military first as a Captain and then as Lieutenant Colonel helping to enlist men during the Rebellion of 1837. In 1840 Thomas married Wilhelmina Rose and they had one son, James Frederick (1843-1902). In 1851 Thomas moved to Niagara-on-the-Lake where he lived until his death in 1886. The item is part of a box of original papers, letters, transcripts and research notes complied and transcribed by Geoffrey and Kathleen Sayers. Geoffrey Sayers and his wife Kathleen (n‚e Colloton) occupied Benares from 1969 until 1981. During that time, they acted as care takers of the estate on behalf of the Ontario Heritage Foundation. They kept a small display of artifacts in the kitchen, and opened up the house once a year to the public. He also maintained the Benares financial affairs in 1932 for Naomi (Na) and Mary, who were unable to do so themselves. Along with sisters Dora Sayers and Barbara Sayers Larson, Geoff donated Benares to the Museums of Mississauga in 1995. |
