    • Also known as Anne.

      Ann Ley, Walter Burch [sic] and John Lever [sic] were baptism sponsors of Casimir and Margaret Gollong (Gallant)'s child Moses Gallant, privately baptized by "Charles Martille Esqr" (recorded in St. George Sydney parish register on March 22, 1795) [is "Ann Ley" Agnes Ley?]

      Agnes Ley Burke sold her deceased brother's land grant to Pat Farrell in 1828. How did she get it?
