Transcriber notes: 1 This may be the same James (Jas.) Hollett, a planter and trader of Sound Island and Pipers Hole, Placentia Bay. The Hollett family of Chance Cove, and Rantem,Trinity Bay are known to derive from Harbour Buffet and Spencer`s Cove, P.B. with known connections to Sound Island, Piper`s Hole, and Arnold`s Cove. 2 The abbreviation TH here seems to denote Tickle Harbour, abbreviated in other sources as T. Hr.. This may be the same John Murphy, a planter and fisherman of Tickle Harbour (Bellevue) as listed in Lovell`s 1871 Directory. The place name Murphys Beach in Tickle Harbour (Bellevue) is named after this family. 3 This may be the son of Owen McCarthy Sr. as listed in the Slade Trinity Bay Ledgers residing in Tickle Harbour during the period 1809-1810, as owner of a schooner. The larger account debt for this said planter may reflect his status as a merchant middleman or trader in the area, in keeping with the costs of maintaining a schooner and crew, as well as purchasing supplies from neighbouring local merchants required to operate the inshore and Labrador coastal fishery. This is also consistent with McCarthy family oral traditions which state that the McCarthy were renown schooner owners and captains which fished out of the Labrador seasonally. 4 This may be the same John Pike (or James-Jacob) Pike listed in the various parish registers and merchant ledgers-barter books for this time period. This is presumably the same John Pike for which the place name John Pike`s Mash , near Pike Pond, in the Black River Mountains, Black River-Piper`s Hole, P.B.. 5 The name and amount of this said account holder is crossed out indicating that the account may have been nullified or cancelled, perhaps due to a recent death, or payment in full, although the former explanation is more plausible.
