| Notes for Ira PRIDE , Sr. |
Source Document is Titled 'Descent of the children of Ira and Mary Hewitt Pride of Louis' Head Nova Scotia from three of the sureties for the Observance of the Magna Carta; Saher de Quincy, reputed to be the author of the document, Robert de Vere, and Henry de Bohun' The document's author in unknown but several copies were in possession of the children of John MacMillan Langley and Harriet Lawler Richardson.
The booklet titled "The Pride, Whittemore, Hewitt and Giffin Families" by M. Edward Burtt has many anecdotes about Ira on pages 2-6 including references to land purchases at Louis Head and the disposition of his estate by Administration since he died intestate. |
| Notes for Mary (Spouse 1) |
| Attempted to locate her grave in Argyle without success. There were no records on her under the name Hewitt or Pride in the cemetery records for the Baptist Church at Ford's Corners in Argyle. Many graves in the cemetery were marked only with field stones at head and foot so she could be in any of the unnamed graves. |
