The 1708 Census for Port de Grave, shows a population of 7 Inhabitants (male), having 5 Wives and 10 children. This 1708 Census came after the earlier French attacks, plundering and burning; had dispersed most of the “regular” community folk. Whom had taken lodging at places like St. John's, Great and Little Belle Islands, Carbonear Island, etc. Some families lodged for decades on such islands, before returning to their earlier hometown bay/harbour communities. Such folk had largely not returned to their Conception Bay communities, as of October, 1711. As seen per CO 194/5. Page 30v.

CO 194/2 Page 279. In 1702 Port de Grave had 19 inhabitant Masters and 100 inhabitant Servants. 20 inhabitant boats. 20 stages. 13 Women and 40 children. *This is likely a good general insight, of the number of overwintering inhabitants at Port de Grave, for the era. *Nicholas Doust/Dawe may have been one of the 20 Masters? The community having also 13 Mistresses and 40 Children at the time. When will names be ascribed to these overwintering 19 Masters, 13 Mistresses, and 40 Children? *A "boat-keeper/planter/master", may have been resident, or migratory. Such an individual may have concurrently been engaged in employment by some merchant, and termed as a Servant, on that merchant's Ledger. *A merchants "servant, or man," being in effect, the same designation.

*Some names on the petitions above here, were not "actual signatures". Rather some folk made their mark. While a separate individual signed their names. Folk making their marks included: Thomas Belbin, Andrew Merkin, Edward Petten, Edward Passeall, Robert Pynn, John Fancey? & Thomas Moor. *The name Peter Merkin also shows in Conception Bay in this era. *Nicholas son of William Merkin/Le Merkin, of Portugal Cove, Conception Bay; 1731. *Thomas Freeman at Carbonear, 1701. "Out of London", in the vessel "Lucitania", 150 Tons. Co 194/2. Page 173. *Consider the sailing port of Poole, Dorset; for John Fancy. Thacker shows at Poole. Of the Isle of Jersey?

We have above that some early Newfoundland era folk "whom were of particular enough prominence", that they made their marks for signatures, on an early era Newfoundland Petition. Folk whom couldn't perform cursive writing. Could they read? Providing insight that on a scale the remaining Conception Bay inhabitants, considerable in number; would not then be "generally" expected to be literate? *Some of the names listed, represent more recent arrival in Conception Bay from England. Such folk, being "more enabled" to read or write, by their more recent residence in England. As opposed to earlier descended generational Newfoundlanders.

This being in a manner demonstrative, of how variant surname spellings got entered into the mother countries' [England/Britain's] early era, parochial registers. Not too many folk had reading/writing skills, during the era of interest. A time when the writer attempted to transcribe the sound he or she heard. Often the written transcription of the sound heard, being variant. Like Stephen Difficke?

The plural early Newfoundland "Census" ( State/Schemes of the Fishery's ), has to be considered in the "same" manner; of a priority. Variant spelt individual's names, were sometimes recorded in a wild handwriting style. This apart from the "many" modern erroneous transcriptions of individuals names as contained in those "early" Census. *Vander. Often seen in/gleaned from, typed sources. In cases some disambiguation becomes necessary. Before the English/Irish and other ancestral hometown parochial, or non - parochial recorded registers entries, are realized a match.

Variant style naming. Varder/Farder/Forder?/Vander. ( *Vander being a modern day erroneous transcription? ) Warder? Neel/Neil/Neal/Neale/Noel/Newill. Newell/Knowles. Russell/Rowsell/Rouselle, etc. Louis/Lewis. Luce/Luck. Vibert/Wibert/Wiber/Webber. Either Peter or Pierre, may be used. Early Edmond/Edward, Roger/Robert. Leboutillier_Botelor_Butler. Lenicoal_Le Nicholle_Nicholle.

Surnames were commonly recorded differently in the Isle of Jersey, as opposed to “in English” records; including in Newfoundland. *It is interesting that surname Doust/Dawes occurs at Bedminster, Somerset. To what extent? Considering the Anthony Varder Ledger. What about at St. Marychurch, Devon? If things followed simple normalcy, early Newfoundland merchants largely obtained their "men" from their hometowns, including from hinterland communities.

Community names: Language and dialect variants: [ Brighouse/Brickhouse/Barracass/Brigus. It is interesting that Brighouse is an English surname, and locations in Devon were called Brickhouse. ] [ Presentia/Plaisance in French, Placentia in English. ] [ Rogneuse. English corruption, Renews. ] [ Formosa/Fermeuse, ] [ Bell Inn, Bauline. ]

https://johnpnewell.com/newell-family/the-early-newells/ A photo on this Newell website is referred to in lines below here. The notable, revealing, facial lines, on the face of Robert John Newell as shown on the web page addressed above here; is seen in descendants of families Snow and Andrews of Port de Grave. Folk may consider whether these facial lines are seen in other families/descendants from Port de Grave local area? Even 20th Century folk can be included. Like the Snow family of Campbellton, Notre Dame Bay. The author of the book "Heritage of a Newfoundland Outport". Etc. A retired Minchington of Port de Grave. Interviewed in a video, on his patio at Port de Grave. Stated there was 112 Pounds in a Quintal, etc., in the video presentation. *There must be numerous CB individuals carrying such facial features. Family" folk may identify others having these prominent hereditary facial lines, and increase this list quite a bit?

Pages 34/35/36. [ CO 194/2 Pages 131/132. August 20, 1701. ] A letter from Mr. George Larkin, written from St. John's in the year 1701. ( Mr. Larkin was a gentleman bred to the civil law, who was sent out to make observations in the American settlements, for the information of government at home, as to the state of the Plantations, and the execution of the laws of trade and navigation. ) Mr. Larkin indicated that rules and orders of Statute 10 and 11 William 3. c. 25., An Act to encourage the trade to Newfoundland; were not so much regarded, since there were no penalties in it. Abuses of the Act continued.

He writes that in 1701 the admiral of St. John's Harbour, Captain Arthur Holdsworth, of Dartmouth, brought over from England, that fishing season, two hundred and thirty six passengers, all or great part of which were bye boat-keepers, and they were brought, under a pretense of being freighters aboard his ship, though it was only for some few provisions for their necessary use. These persons he had put and continued in the most convenient stages, etc. in the harbour, which all along, since the year 1685, had belonged to fishing ships; in so much that several masters of fishing ships had been obliged to hire rooms of the planters. These bye boat-keepers were most of them, he says, able fishermen, and there was not one fresh man, or green man, amongst them, as the act requires. ... This, he says, was a very great abuse and discouragement to the adventurers...

Pages 44/45. [ CO 194/2 Pages 176 - 181. September 15, 1701. ] In the answers ( to the heads of inquiry given in charge to the commanders on the Newfoundland station ) made by Captain [John] Graydon, the commander, at this time, we find, that a survey was made that year of all the encroachments made by the inhabitants upon the liberties of fishing ships, since the year 1685, and they were corrected, as appears from him. That the admirals of the harbours were the persons, who mostly brought bye boat-keepers, and put them in possession of ship's rooms, under notion of their being freighters ( as was before alleged ) the admirals advancing them money in England at five shillings in the pound.

*Lodging monies, diet monies, travelling monies, enticement monies, etc. ( 5 shillings in the Pound. )

CO 194/4. Page 15. Petition signed by the inhabitants of Conception Bay. Circa Oct 12, 1706. Matthew Anthony listed adjacent to Anthony Varder. *Nicholas Dawe was earlier a servant of Anthony Varder, 1690's. In 1700's at Ship Cove, some Dawes resided on land formerly owned by the Anthony family.

John Dawe of the 1706 Inhabitant Militia List, as sent to Port de Grave. ?John Butt Dawe? ?Nicholas John, or John Nicholas Dawe?

Samuel Dawes March 29, 1761 Will. "To my son Samuel that gun he now has in Possession. Except that any of the Anthonys do pay him the Sum that is five Pounds and thirteen Shillings."

There obviously was some "close relationship" between the Anthony and Samuel Dawe family, at Ship Cove, Conception Bay. Per Samuel's Daw's 1761 Will, he was hedging against a male Anthony family member, who might borrow Samuel Daw Junior's Gun. And cause damage to it, or lose it outright. Saltwater corrosion, etc. Samuel Daw Jr. may thereby not get the use of the gun, left him by his father. The gun at the time, being a staple in obtaining food; and an occupational tool of some importance. Sealing, etc.

*Whom would a John Butt Dawe have married, to have had a son named Samuel??? An Hebrew patriarch forename. Non-conformist consideration. *Otherwise Nicholas John Doust, or John Nicholas Doust?

Puritans named their children not by Christian Saints, but by Hebrew patriarchs and warriors. Samuel, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob. Puritans favoured Parliament over King. A Royalist may opt for forenames like James, Charles, Nicholas, etc. Was the Butt family largely non-conformist in early Newfoundland? The Dawe family adhered largely to the Church of England. But contains a mixture of Royalist/Puritan forenames. Why? Therein, is knowledge yet to be gained. One can entertain forenames as in Nicholas Doust, William Anthony, John Butt, and John and James Butler. But current knowledge is missing, considering how Puritan names like Samuel, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, entered the Ship Cove Daw family picture?

Consider whether adjacent plantations owners saw intermarriage of family members. The probability of intermarriage is "very real" in many adjacent plantation cases, in early Newfoundland. The importance of this intermarriage idea in cases, underwrites its consideration. More so in context of considered situations like” quiet possession of title”. But for plural reasons which may variously appear in any particular case, intermarriage will not "always" have occurred. Cases like, Widower, remarriage, plantation taken for debt, plantation purchased and or leased, etc.

*Did Andrews of Harbour Grace, wed a female Snow family member at Port de Grave? And thereby got to Ship Cove?

Langton Matravers is a village and civil parish on the Isle of Purbeck, in the county of Dorset. John Masters of the Parish of Langton Purbeck, died in Newfoundland. Relict and Grantee, Dorothy Masters. May 16, 1706. PCC & Dorset Admon. *John Masters Sr. fished at Silly Cove, Trinity Bay. Murdered "very late 1690's?/very early 1700's?" at Silly Cove by the French, in concert with Canadian Indians.

John Masters Jr. ( 1691? - 1755 ) born at Silly Cove, later wed Sarah Taverner, daughter of William Taverner. John Masters a merchant of Silly Cove. John Master's Jr, became Mayor of Poole, Dorset in 1748.

Partial extract of John Master Jr's Poole, Dorset; PCC Will Made at London, on June 14, 1755. Proved at London on June 20, 1755. - names sister Dorothy Faulkener, Widow. Neice Mary Faulkener. - names sister Sarah Thomas, Widow. - mentions George Olive, husband of his Neice Sarah Thomas, dau of Sarah Thomas, Widow. - gives George Olive his ship "Littleton". - gives George Olive his sole Tenement, warehouses, storehouses, stages, and plantations. With all fishing boats and tackle. And farmland. - gives George Olive the Lands, Houses, Messuages, Buildings, Brooks and Fisheries of the Salmon Fishery in St. Mary's Bay, in Newfoundland. - names sister Mary Rockett. Who has a daughter Sarah, wife of Thomas Keat(s). - names nephew John Compton, son of his late sister Elizabeth Compton, deceased. - gives his Bark called the "Lark", burthen of about Eighty Tons to Thomas Keat(s), husband? of my Neice Sarah, the daughter of Mary Rockett. - names his wife Sarah Masters, his executrix.

Peculiar Court of Poole, Dorset; Admons. May 2, 1764. Mrs. Mary Rockett and Sarah Thomas ( both Poole widows, and only surviving children of former Poole Mariner, John Masters ), pay 100 Pound bond to administer the effects of their parents John and Dorothy Masters, deceased.

*When John Masters became deceased, his effects would normally and legally have gone to his relict wife, Dorothy Masters. After Dorothy Masters became deceased, we see the May 2, 1764, Admon; to her remaining surviving children.

*In similar fashion, Henry Pynn's effects were decided in favour of his wife Ann, via PCC Admon. As opposed to the son, Augustus Pynn. Though Augustus Pynn "strenuously" applied for Admon of his father, Henry Pynn's effects; early 1750's.

---------------------------------------------

*Following ancient tradition and similar Law(s), an extract here of a British "Act" made in 1732.

In the Fifth Year of George II, Chapter VII. "An act for the more easy recovery of debts in his Majesty's plantations and colonies in America."

Whereas his Majesty's subjects trading to the British plantations in America lie under great difficulties, for want of more easy methods of proving, recovering, and levying of debts due to them,... ( Ie: Merchant Adventurers, Traders, Victualers, etc. ) That from September 29, 1732, the houses, lands, and other hereditaments and real estate, situate or being within any of the said plantations belonging to any person indebted, shall be liable to and chargeable with... and may be assets for the satisfaction thereof... for seizing, extending, selling or disposing of any such houses, lands, hereditaments and real estates, towards the satisfaction of such debts, and demands, and in like manner as personal estates...

Some early Newfoundlanders lost their Plantation to the Merchants via Court, for debt in a bad fishery time, incapacitation, etc. The system was conceived and bred, around an English/British migratory Fishery. New Trade and traffic, beneficial to Britain, ruled the day. The merchant adventurers were the key people. ( It was simple logic in England. If not for the merchant, there would be no Newfoundland Fishery. ) Therein, we see a theme of “the merchant must receive protections”.

Governor Palliser endeavored to better “enable” the English Crown's Fishery. Drafting protections for both merchants, inhabitant residents, Servants, etc.

Early English Anabaptist/Baptist ( non-conformist’s ) born children, may not have been baptized as infants. Rather may have been baptized as teens/adults when they publicly conform/adhere to the religion.

*Not all children of a dissenting family may be revealed by the hometown Ecclesiastical Parish Register's baptisms.

Under the Toleration Act, 1689 (I Wm. & Mary, c.18) certificates that a specified house or room was used as a place of public worship by dissenting congregations, had to be filed in an ecclesiastical court so that the place could be registered.

The history of the town and county of Poole; collected and arranged ... Sydenham, John, 1807-1846. Page 346. ...a Baptist society had assembled at Poole, Dorset; from an early Period: and there is reason to believe that they met in the house of Mrs. Susannah Pike, which, in 1707, was licensed for an assembly for religious worship. *Private residence dissenter meetings. A Baptist "Meeting House Certificate" may have been issued by the Court of Quarter Sessions at Dorchester.

( Dorset History Centre. Ref No: DC-PL/C/BE/5/2. Certificate for the mansion house of Mrs. Susannah Pike. )

On Nov 7, 1735, at the establishment of the "Baptist Church" at Poole; John Bird was chosen to be Pastor. Sarah Bird was a member. Mary Belbin, etc.

Isaac Lester's Diary of April 11, 1775. "Mr. John Pike was Buryed this afternoon in the Meatin house Yard..." ( The Meeting House/The Protestant Dissenting Meeting House. )

*The Pike family of Carbonear, Conception Bay, Newfoundland. Anabaptist/Baptist consideration.

Any Pikes at Poole recorded as "born only", in Poole Parish birth registers? Adult baptisms? Does research show that Pikes in early Newfoundland, did not generally adhere to the Church of England?

Agreement Between Joseph Garland, Henry Knight & Elizabeth Knight - April 20, 1788. ( A former Pike family "Plantation", or "Room". ) A Plantation or Room, changed hands from one protestant dissenting family, to another. Pike of Poole, Dorset; to Knight of Poole, Dorset. Both Poole, Dorset; families, having been involved in the early Newfoundland Fishery for more than a Century.

*There are Presbyterian/Congregationalist considerations for the branch of the Moore(s)/More(s)/Moors family from Christchurch, Hampshire; to Twillingate. An early 1700's Presbyterian assembly was licensed in the Hinton local area, at Christchurch.

21M65/F2/1/19 Meeting house certificate: Hinton, Christchurch (Presbyterian) 30 Apr 1713.

Other such early Newfoundland nonconformist family cases may be recognized with time. One may expect such.

The Anabaptist Newfoundland merchant family of Noble; of Taunton and Bristol. *Separate of the Society of Friends "Noble" family, of Bristol.

*Consider “Church of England” vs “Society of Friends”, vs Anabaptists/Baptists, vs Presbyterians, vs Congregationalists vs Independents, vs Unitarians, etc. Otherwise Conformists vs non-Conformists.

Circa 1710, in the vicinity of 90% of Quidi Vidi residents, were of the Society of Friends?

Sir Robert Atkyns ( Bristol, Gloucestershire ) about the year 1711, wrote saying it is just a scandal upon the whole nation that there is not a better provision for the laboring clergy. *Consider early missionaries sent "out to Newfoundland", in such context.

The American Coast Pilot: ... Newburyport, Massachusetts. Oct, 1806. Sailing directions for Newfoundland...

Page 86. In the Bay of Bulls past Bread and Cheese Point on the North Side, is Joan Clay's hill, where the Admiral may anchor. But merchantmen run further in. Here the annual Fishing Fleet is made ready to sail, usually for the Streights of Gibralter, by the 15th or 20th of September.

Page 89. To the Northward of Carbonera are two coves where planters live, and keep boats for fishing. The northernmost called Clown Cove, not good for ships, but boats. The other is called Crockers Cove, where live two families.

Between Carbonear and Harbour Grace is Musketa Cove, where ships may ride, but seldom use it. Here live two planters.

Page 90. Spaniards Bay is deep and large, almost like Bay Roberts; but there are no inhabitants, neither do men use this place for fishing.

Page 90. Ship's Cove, Port de Grave; named as Sheep's Cove!

Ships ride not within the small islands which are Port Grave, it being shoal water within them, but ride without them. Burnt Head, the South point of the bay of Port Grave, is so called by reason the trees that were on it are burnt down. Anchorage is had at Brigus on the North side of the bay, where two planters live in a small bay. Only small ships use this place.
