John Dowling of Penobscot. Memorial St. Andrews's 1786.

He joined the Army at the beginning of the [ American Revolutionary ] war and served with the Royal Nova Scotia Volunteers, went to Newfoundland and raised 32 men [ a list will be found in NGSQ 67, page 59. ]. After the Government suspended the recruitment of volunteers in Newfoundland he returned to Halifax where he found it difficult to raise men and was offered only a Lieutenancy in the King's Rangers instead of the Captain's commission he had expected. He was with the Rangers at Penobscot from 1781 to 1782, mostly as a Marine officer on HMS Albany. He bought a house and lot there for his family on the understanding that Penobscot would remain in British hands but, when it was surrendered, had to go to St. Andrews.

Claim for arrears of pay, a house at Penobscot. Rejected. ( AO 13/22/69-72).

The Dumaresqs of Boston

Philip Dumaresq, second son of Elias Dumaresq and Frances de Carteret of Jersey, was a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy. Philip later became a ship captain voyaging from the Island of Jersey, to Boston.

Captain Philip Dumaresq of Boston, had a daughter Ann Dumaresq, born in 1736, who wed Nicholas Mallet of the Island of Jersey.

It appears that Captain Philip Dumaresq of Boston, was "out to Newfoundland" in the 1730's. Possibly a regular voyage route, for him, per The Boston Gazette. Captain Philip Dumaresq was deceased by January, 1744. His son Philip Dumaresq Jr., born in 1737, was agent for the Newfoundland Fisheries at Boston, during the 1770’s. And earlier? Philip Dumaresq Jr. of Boston, had a Brother in Law, Nicholas Mallet of the Island of Jersey.

Was this Nicholas Mallet of the Parish of St. Helier, Isle of Jersey? Was he a Jersey - Newfoundland merchant? A Nicholas Mallet wed Jeane Fiott on March 7, 1761, at St. Helier, Jersey. A Nicholas Mallet and Ann Dumaresq, had a daughter Ann Jeane baptised on March 28, 1767, St. Helier, Jersey. A Nicholas Fiott wed Ann Mallet on July 18, 1789, at St. Helier, Jersey. Nicholas Mallet and Nicholas Fiott, thus may appear to have been related through marriage. How closely? Were there early family relations?

Early Newfoundland merchants/settlers. Look for long term relations/relationships. As in Dumaresq, Fiott, Mallet, Patriarch(e), Hammond, etc.

Nicholas Fiott, ( born in 1704 at St. Saviour Parish – deceased 1786 ) a Jersey-Newfoundland merchant, of St. Helier, Jersey. Wed Ann Dumaresq, May 4, 1746, at St. Helier, Jersey. Admiral Nicholas Fiott to Newfoundland about 1743, as a merchant. Had daughter Anne Fiott, 1747; sons Nicholas Fiott, 1748; Edward Fiott, ?; and John Fiott, 1752 – 1797. Edward Fiott was made Master of the vessel “Willing Mind”, at age 17 years. At age 30 he mastered the “Tartar” of 600 Tons, formerly a French frigate, which was captured. Nicholas Fiott, wed on June 17, 1772, at St. Helier, his second wife. To Jeanne Remon, daughter of Edward Remon and Judith Jean of St. Lawrence, Jersey.

1760’s – 1790’s a Captain Nicholas Mallet voyaged Jersey to Newfoundland. ( It would be interesting to learn whether this was the same Nicholas Mallet, son in Law to Captain Philip Dumaresq of Boston? And having family baptisms at St. Helier, Jersey. )

In the 1770’s Captain John Tocque voyaged for Nicholas Mallett.

In 1778, Captain John Tocque voyaged for Nicholas Fiott, William Patriarche, & Thomas Hammond.

Philip Tocque the elder and younger, merchants and ship owners, of the firm of Philip Tocque and Simon Levi, of Carbonear, early 1800’s. Tocque family of St. Helier, Jersey. Philip Tocque at Carbonear during the 1730’s.

*Peter Mallet, Jersey to Harbour Grace, 1780’s. Associated with Nicholas Mallet. In business together.

Did the Dumaresq family continue as agents at Boston for the principal merchants of Jersey, Southampton, and Newfoundland, from circa the early 1700's to the 1770's? Considering Philip Dumaresq Sr’s. decease pre 1744.

Should one further consider in this era, that the Jersey to Southampton route was by far the most common route sailed by Jersey ships; per Lloyd's Lists. Can this route and its Jerseymen voyages, then be considered of greater importance respecting the early Newfoundland Fishery? The Island of Jersey to Waterford and Cork route, saw a lesser frequency of voyages. How many of these voyages may have included Newfoundland as an interim Port? Jersey to London, and Jersey to Boston voyages, appear with less frequency.

Isle of Jersey Captains/merchants names like Boutillier, Fiott, Journeaux, Lempriere, Le Viscount, Snow, Vibert, etc., were mainstays at the Port of Harbour Grace, Conception Bay, during the 1700's.

*Philip and Nicholas Journeaux, sons of Edward Journeaux.

*A very brief gleaning of some “Jersey to Newfoundland” captains, during the 1740's/1750's includes: Philip Ball(a)ine, Robert Barb(i)er, John & Edward Le Boutilier, Philip Carteret, Abraham Chevalier, Edward Coombs, ? Cronier, John & Phillip Janverine/Janvrin, Phillip Le Brocq, Philip Le Couteur, Richard & Phillip Le Cras, Charles Le Croix, Elias Le Gros, Philip Le Viscount ( 1770’s agent at Port de Grave, for Fiott), Edward Luce for James Lempriere, Edward Remon, Thomas Robin, Thomas Snow, Philip Vibert, etc. ( Le Cras, aka Le Croix? )

*A very brief gleaning of some “Jersey to Southampton” captains, during the 1740's: Boutilier, Dean, Filleul, Journeaux, Philip Le Feuvre, Le Cras, Elias Le Greshly, Le Croix aka St. Croix, Elias & John Le Gros, Abraham Le Mai(s)tre, Migaud, Perchard(s), Robinson, Snow, Vibert, etc. ( Robinson, aka Robins? )

*A “very brief” gleaning of some “Newfoundland to Boston/Boston to Newfoundland” captains during the 1730's, per the "Boston Gazette" newspaper: Dumaresq, Dean, Lucy/Luce, Viscount, Le Fever/Feuvre, Le Gros, De Jersey, Varder, Webber, etc. ( Webber aka Vibert? Vibert/Wibert/Wiber/Webber. Janwerine/Janverine. )

*The major merchants of the Island of Jersey effected such Jersey to Boston/Newfoundland, to market, and back home trade. Southampton may have “sometimes” been an interim Port, during a Jersey to Newfoundland voyage. ( The Diocese of Winchester held ecclesiastical hierarchy over the Channel Islands. ) Fishery, trade, business & legal issues, marriage Licences, etc., would have required Jersey voyagers to Port at Southampton. The early Newfoundland Settlers were spokes in the wheel, of the system. Composed largely of fishermen, labourers, former/current passengers, bye-boat keepers, and some tradesmen. ( Including some former Captains, Captain’s family/relatives, agents on a varying scale, traders, ship chandlers, shipwrights, sailmakers, seine makers, block-makers, carpenters, bricklayers, blacksmiths, boot makers, etc. )

-PCC Will of Deborah Dumaresq, Widow of Island of Jersey, December 20, 1720. “in the Island of Jersey, in the County of Southampton”.

In 1746, the “Seaflower”, Captain Abraham Gybault/Gibault carried 4000 bushels of Lymington salt to Boston.

*485 hogsheads of salt. Enough to cure about 4,850 Quintals of dry stockfish.

*Enough salt for 40 Conception Bay shallops, in a fishery season. Or 10 to 15 banker schooners, in a season.

Whom was Abraham Gibault out of the Isle of Jersey, delivering salt to, at Boston in 1746? A Jersey agent?

Did any of the salt get rerouted to Newfoundland shallop owners, via the Dumaresq business agency at Boston?

There was safe warehousing/storehousing for salt at Boston, as opposed to at Newfoundland.

Lloyd's List, Dec 15, 1747, edition.

Arrived at Lisbon, from Newfoundland, the vessel "Seaflower", Captain Vibert.

*In Dec, 1748, Captain Viscount on the "Seaflower", during a Newfoundland voyage.

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

Some Island of Jersey, voyages, which may aid future, deeper research. Including a brief look at surnames Neel/Noel and Tocque per Lloyd’s Registers and Lists, as captains out of the Island of Jersey. And possible association with Conception Bay. This is an incomplete listing of voyages, but enough to project a contextual picture.

*Lloyd’s List’s and Registers doesn’t discriminate between the “Island of Jersey” surnames; Noel, Neal(e), Neel, and Neil. Other wise Lloyd’s Lists and Registers reveal that captains Neal/Neel/Neil generally occurred at Irish Ports like Waterford, Cork and Dublin. On occasion, out of Bristol, and also Dartmouth.

*Dr. Keith Matthews, former MUN history professor, didn’t discriminate between surnames Neel and Noel.

In 1789/90 Captain E. Neel voyaged Jersey to Waterford, Captain & Co. Then matured and experienced enough, to risk his own merchant business adventures. Maybe the same captain Elias Neel/Noel whom earlier voyaged Jersey to Conception Bay for merchant John Hue, including other Jersey merchants.

Some of these captains may have been quite young. Some possibly even under age 21 years. And brash enough to release a broad side from their guns, to answer any verbal queries from another armed vessel, while at sea. Other captains would have been older, and far more experienced and discerning, in their demeanor.

( A young man of just 15 years of age, from this author’s Newfoundland hometown; captained a vessel out of Carbonear. This during the early 1950’s. At age 17 years, this author’s grandfather, looked after his father’s vessel anchored in Twillingate. When great grandfather was absent from the Harbour. Circa 1908. ) Such was the nature of the early Newfoundland Fishery business. It was, what it was.

Varying captains for varying merchants. Whom knew each other on a personal basis. Inter-associated. ( The “Joisey birds” in Conception Bay. “A Jerseyman came to town. But when you turned around, he was gone again”. ) Some of the Merchants and Captains relatives, would have settled in Newfoundland. As well there were Passengers, some of whom settled. ( Early Jerseymen had neighbours in the Andrews family, of Harbour Grace. What town in the area of Exon, will a Parish Chest reveal a prominent Andrews family? Whom were among the major landowners in town. Whom had their prominent signature(s) recorded on town documents. Whom paid high rates on property, as recorded on any surviving “poor rate books”, etc. The evidence should be there, when seen and realized. Kenton? Exmouth? )

“Nancy”, Brig, 200 Tons/13 Men. Captain J. Bouton, Jersey to Newfoundland, for Mallet & Co. ( 1780 also. )

*The “Sally” and “Nancy” were two large Brigs. Ships of this size only occasionally visited Newfoundland during the 1700’s. Such size vessels may be seen at Newfoundland under ownership of merchants like Joseph White, Isaac & Benjamin Lester, Pike & Green, Kemp family vessels, Matthew Lee of Exon, John Noble & Elton family of Bristol, Arthur Holdsworth & Peter Ley/Leigh of Dartmouth, Roberts of Liverpool, and a few further major adventurers. In 1778 J. Le Sueur captained a 130 Ton vessel for Nicholas Fiott. Philip Dumaresq of Boston, was not a Newfoundland agent in 1779? Mallet & Co.’s Jersey - Newfoundland business, had thereby increased? )
