bullet  Noted events in his life were:

1. Interesting: Large gathering for his 21st birthday, 24 Aug 1834, Calvert, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 739 From Robert Carter's diary:

Monday, 25 August 1834
" All the elder branches of the family at Mr. Morry' s Jr. to spend the evening to commemorate Matthew' s birthday, he attaining his 21st year yesterday. Went up and returned in the boat." Again we see the close relationship between the Carter and Morry families at this time. A 21st birthday would have been a significant event for a young man, not only because of the implications of now being his own man, but also because it was one of the conditions required to be allowed to vote. But in this instance Matthew did not appear on Voters Lists for years afterward because he continued to reside in the home of his parents and hence was not a property owner.

2. Documentation: Letter from sister Mary to Matthew Morry III, 24 Sep 1841, Grady Harbour, Labrador, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 740 This event was shared with Mary MORRY.

3. Occupation: Planter & Merchant Caplin Bay (now Calvert), Between 1844 and 1852, Calvert, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 54,185 This event was shared with Elizabeth Ann MORRY, Elizabeth COULMAN, Henry Winsor MORRY, Matthew MORRY IV, Priscilla Ellen MORRY, and William George MORRY.

4. Residence: Built "Athlone Cottage" on Northside of Caplin Bay, Cir 1844, Calvert, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 741 Possibly the property formerly owned by John Rossiter and sold to Thomas Lackey in 1842

5. Occupation: Merchant, Caplin Bay, 16 Feb 1845, Calvert, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 519

6. Occupation: Merchant and Planter, Caplin Bay, 24 Jan 1847, Calvert, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 520

7. Occupation: Planter, Caplin Bay, 2 Feb 1849, Calvert, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 742

8. Property: An area known as Morry's farm on the upper side of the Northside Rd. across from Athlone, Cir 1850, Calvert, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 125 Kevin Reddigan indicates that this was a piece of arable land just up the path from where Anita Canning Kelland had her cottage known as "Athlone II" which he and I visited one time around 2000. He does not know how it got its name but due to its location it would seem likely to have belonged to Matthew III or been used by him and his family.

9. Occupation: Planter, Caplin Bay, 20 Aug 1850, Calvert, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 223

10. Occupation: Planter, Caplin Bay, 22 Aug 1852, Calvert, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 325
