Biographical history

There is little documentation on the early life of Jeremiah Caffery (1794-1844), teacher. He was invited by his uncle, Rev. Alexander FitzGerald, to join him in Newfoundland. Following his arrival, Caffery was sent by his uncle to study for the priesthood at a seminary in Nicolet, Quebec. Caffery was not ordained, however. He chose to go to Halifax, Nova Scotia where he worked as a teacher until his death on 19 October 1844.
