The land where he was raised was given by Roderick to his daughter  Mary.. Roderick owned all the land in this range called at the time Up the River, he  donated a plot of land to each of his children who married and stayed in this  locality. Mary's stretch of land was donated to her son Thomas Garrett who remained  single and donated it to Reuben at his death, it was passed down to Reuben's youngest  son David in 2006 when his wife passed away. It is the only lot belonging to Roderick  that still remains in the family.
 His brother Irvin remained at the Chicoine family home in Bridgeville, Qc. inherited  the family belongings and it was passed down to his youngest son Kenneth at the death  of Irvin's wife on January 15,2009.
