Hi Carroll, Rose is right - Land Registry is a great place for finding the elusive wives. They oft-times were recorded in the land transactions - which happened quite often in a lot of cases. Also, have you ever ordered this Land Petition where it shows 2 Samuel Mooers - could be an error OR a connection. 1800 York Co: Samuel Mooers, Samuel Mooers, Thomas Owens - under "Thomas Owens" His probate, which can be ordered from the NB Archives, is where I would start. Daniel F. Johnson : Volume 1 Number 509 Rank 69 Date September 17 1803 County Saint John Place Saint John Newspaper The Saint John Gazette The language of the text is the original used in the newspaper entry and as transcribed by Daniel F. Johnson. Records acquired by the Provincial Archives are not translated from the language in which they originate. Est. Samuel mooers, Queensborough; Admin. James H. LAMB, 7th Sept.
