Transcription Notes:
The right margin note might be the name of the school - part of the answer to the 3rd question.
In my transcription of the handwritten answer to Societies & Patrons "Gen Bray" is a guess - "farm & neighbors" I judge is accurate. If someone has a map showing this school, you may be able to establish the name of the farm more accurately.
