Paul Carrigan was born circa 1756 at Ireland. He married Mary Scott, daughter of Walter Scott and Mary (?), before 1791. Paul Carrigan died circa 1797 at Alburgh, Grand Isle Co, Vermont.
Paul Carrigan and his brothers Patrick and Peter were originally from Ireland and were living on part of the Saratoga patent when the War broke out. Paul's statement [ NAC, A.O. 13 Vol 12, Reel B-2185, pp. 29-32] tells us that the Americans had insisted they join their Army, and not wanting to side with them, they fled their property and country in October 1776 and joined Jessups Corps. Paul Carrigan stated their loss in property to be 563 pounds.1 He left a will on 1 November 1796; Unfortunately, the page for this Will is partially missing, and only the executors can be read: Andrew Brown and John Duir, both of Caldwell's Manor were named.
On 27 April 1797, an Inventory was ordered by the Probate Court. Administrators were Benjamin Marvin and Mary Carrigan, Paul's widow. HIs estate consisted of a yoke of oxen, cow, 7 sheep, 4 hogs, half nursery of apple trees, 3 tons of hay, spinning wheel, plow, and Lot #42, 2nd Concession, located next to Peter Carrigan's lot.2
The estate was not settled until 1807. His widow carried the personal property back to Quebec, leaving Benjamin Marvin to account for the missing property. The court finally discharged him. The estate was was declared insolvent and Lot #42 was sold a public auction to Duncan McGregor, Jr, for $250.
On 15 Apr 1816, John D. Reynolds and Catherine of Noyan, in consideration of $85. paid by Duncan McGregor, Jr of Alburgh passed the land known as Lot #41 2nd Range running from the Lake Shore through the lot to the East Concession Line. It was bounded north by Margaret Carrigan, south By Patrick Carrigan, containing 14 acres, being a part of the farm formerly owned by Patrick Carrigan deceased, and Willed by Peter Carrigan to Paul Carrigan and Peter Carrigan, set off by commissioners of Peter Carrigan to Paul Carrigan's Heirs and Catherine Reynolds being an heir of Paul Carrigan.
