Today I copied this information from the original hand-written document dated the 28th day of February 1774. "In consideration of Stg. 221.05.05 ....lot #33 part 3A ....ownership was transferred from Thomas Desbrisay, Lieutenant Governor of The Island of Saint John's, North America, to John Nixon." This framed document size about 20 in. x 20 in. is in the possession of a collector here in Victoria, B.C. I was told that Thomas Desbrisay was a British Military Officer who opposed the American Revolt against the British Crown. The reward for his efforts in this cause was the Crown grant of a large piece of land on The Island of Saint John's, including the above property at Charlotte's Town. Also, I was told that this historic document was offered to the Provincial Museum of Prince Edward Island, they were not interested in paying the requested fee to the current possessor of the document.
