Interesting to note that Thomas' first two children's godparents were Robert and Agnes BURKILL; Thomas Weir, Plaintiff made a legal claim in 1872 against a number of WEIRs, their spouses and children regarding the sale of property owned by James Weir at the time of his death, i.e. S ½ lot 11, 2nd concession, Hamilton Township, Northumberland County. What legal right did Thomas have to this property? Would he have had to have been related to James in order to make such a claim?
