Archibald had died without a will, leaving six surviving children: Angus, Nancy, Archibald, Joseph, Mary and Ronald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The family divided the property into seven equal strips running from the shore toward the rear boundary. Angus, identified as the eldest son, received two shares. The remaining five divisions were allocated among his siblings. Nancy, then a widowed MacDonald, held her division as guardian of her children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agreement records more than boundaries.
