Bantjes, Rod, “Document name.html,” in Eigg Mountain Settlement History, last modified, 29 March 2024 http://people.stfx.ca/rbantjes/gis/txt/Introduction.html.
Deed Book 20, Page 538, 1871, Donald MacDonald to Colin MacDonald, Brown’s Mountain (Eigg Mountain Settlement History)
-for $140
-100 acres
-bounded as follows (Lot 511):
-toward the east by William Quinn
-toward the north by John MacDonald and James MacDonald
-towards the west by Allan MacDonald and Colin MacDonald
-towards the south by Angus MacEachern
This land description seems in direct contradiction to the first parcel in 1871 deed D_20_560. They both list Colin and Allan to the west on the same date. I am assuming that this parcel was split – that seems to resolve most of the contradictions.
