• Notes

  She From "Pot Heads and Drumhoops, A Folk History of New Harbour, Trinity Bay" (1995), by Garry Cranford with Raymond Hillier: Charles Newhook II was the town's leading citizen. When his wife died, a scribe at Trinity recorded, "Monday, 2nd April, 1810, Charles Newhook arrived from New Harbour in a schooner with his wife's corpse on board."The Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador: "The eldest son ... he may have been born in New Harbour, church records giving his birthplace as 'Trinity Bay'. ... son of Elizabeth and Charles Newhook. .. . Newhook was killed in St. John's in the spring of 1839 when he fell from the mast of a wrecked vessel on which he had been working". From Marriage Data - Bonivista Area <http://www.huronweb.com/genweb/nfdata/070/parish/mar/trin_stpaul3.htm> "Jan(y) 17(th) Married Charles Newhook & Catherine Dau(r) of the late Jonah & Hannah Newell of this harbour". N. C. Crewe: "He was actually in his sixty-first year, and was buried in the Anglican Cemetary at Trinity."
