Dr. John MONIER ⁸¹⁶

  Noted events in his life were:

1. Occupation: Medical Doctor: St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ¹⁷⁸⁹

2. Property: Collins' Garden a gift from father-in-law, 10 Nov 1744, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ⁵²⁶⁴

3. Military: Surgeon to the Garrison at St. John's, 25 Dec 1745-7 Oct 1761, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ⁵²⁶⁵

4. Property: Purchased property from Father-in-law, 22 Mar 1747/48, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ⁵²⁶⁶

5. Property: Sale of small square of land adjacent to Store newly built by Monier, 17 Aug 1749, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ⁵²⁶⁷ The third Indenture in Volume 1 is a similar one to the first two only this time the principals are a man named Thomas Roberts and Dr. John Monier. There is a third party named Elizabeth Clode, who assents to the land transfer detailed in the Indenture as the only child of Thomas Roberts. The transfer of land, dated August 17, 1749, is permanent and for a reasonable amount of money (£1 and 1 Shilling) paid only once, and pertains to the sale of a small piece of the land owned by Thomas Roberts to John Monier. This little square of land is adjacent to the Store built by Monier that year. It is difficult to say if that Store is built on the property transferred or rented to Monier by his father in law the previous year, which is apparently in the far west end of St. John's as it existed at the time, or is located in Quidi Vidi (spelled Quitivity in the Indenture), where Thomas Roberts himself resides. I also do not know what the relationship between Thomas and William Roberts may be, whether father and son or brothers.

6. Interesting: Member of Building committee for new Anglican church, 1759, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ¹⁷⁷¹

7. Will: Will of Dr. John Monier as filed with Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 20 Apr 1761, Canterbury, Kent, England. ⁵²⁶⁸

John married Hannah ROBERTS, daughter of Living and Living. (Hannah ROBERTS died circa 1762 in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada ⁸¹⁶.)
