Hello.  I am researching my MacDonald ancestors who lived in Bailey's Brook on the same lot from about 1800 to 1950.  I saw somewhere there are land records that might give me the names of the owners going back a while.  Does anyone know how far back these records go, what information is in them, and where they are held? Thanks, Ray MacDonald
