Thanks Beverley...I have found that he was an heir to the estate of Cadwallader Curry of Campbello Island, and that he received a license to cut lumber in Charlotte County in the 1830s, so I'm working on the assumption that he was a merchant mariner/shipbuilder...which fits with what I hope to show about his son-in-law's involvement with the St. Andrews & Quebec Railway.
