Coast in 1849: "Saturday, August 4 .... an old man named

CROCKER .... comes fromDorsetshire [England], but has been

many years settled in this country, and keeps many sheep and

pigs. He was the first settler at Trout River, is married to

a sister of the BRAKES [of the Bay of Islands], and has nine

children. Sunday, August 5 .... CROCKER has a good deal of

land under cultivation and grows turnips, barley and c. His

garden is w ell cultivatedand apparently he is in very

comfortable circumstances, but grumbles like an Englishman,

and declares he has a hard matter to keep his family. He had

himself baptized all his children but one. His wife,

howev er, was urgent that all might be now baptized, and he

concurred ..." [CI:159:?2:CI]

Lyneham, in this parish, gave name to a family who possessed the manor till about the year 1340: it was afterwards, for a short time, in that of Topcliffe. In the year 1402, it belonged to John Crocker, son of John Crocker, Esq., of Hele. Sir John Crocker, of this family, was one of the knights who were attainted and outlawed by Richard III., and who accompanied the Earl of Devon to the relief of Exeter, when besieged by Perkin Warbeck , in 1497. (fn. 46) Courtenay Crocker, Esq., who died in 1740, left an only daughter, who brought Lyneham to James Bulteel, Esq., grandfather of John Bulteel, Esq., of Fleet, the present proprietor. Lyneham is now a farm-house. There was formerly a park here. Windsor, in this parish, gave name to a family who possessed the fee of this barton by the gift of William Lord Rous. One of the coheiresses of Windsor married Richard Fortescue, from whom, says Sir William Pole, descended the Forte scues of the east part of England. Afterwards Windsor became the property and residence of a younger branch of the Crockers of Lyneham, who, on removing to Bovey Tracey, sold this estate, in the reign of William III., to Dr. Blackall: it was by h im bequeathed to Colonel William Scott, of Essex, and has been lately purchased of Colonel William Henry Scott, of the 3d Foot-guards, by Mr. Bastard.

Notes:

The BLANCHARD's of Parson's Pond and Bonne Bay are

descendants of William BLANCHARD of the Bay of Islands.

William, however, was orignally from Dorsetshire, England.

Papers of Governor Duckworth record William BLANCH ARD living

on the Humber River in 1810: a "cod and salmon fisherman,

selling fish to St. John's."

It is not known how many children William had, but their

were at least 5, including 2 sons William Jr. and Thomas.

Hi s grandson another Thomas (1845 - 1929) may have been the

son of William or Thomas.

J. B. Jukes, an American mentions the BLANCHARD's during a

voyage to the Bay of Islands on August 20, 1839: "We visited

one family about half way down the [Humber] sound .... Their

name was BLANCHARD, and the old man had lived here about

sixty years, having settled there before the breaking out of

the American War. He had several sons that were getting

mar ried and beginning to settle about him. His house, though

small, was neat and comfortable, and he had two or three

small fields under cultivation. They were just getting in

the hay from one small meadow, andit appeared of good

quality. They had very good currants, raspberries, and

gooseberries growing in the garden edges."

Bishop Feild also spoke of William BLANCHARD during a visit

to Gilliam's Cove, Bay of Islands in 1849: "The house is

m ean and dirty, and the old patriarch, who has lived here

nearly seventy years, was in a state of great filth and

discomfort. He is nearly ninety years of age. His mental

faculties are good, but his bodily strength is nearly gone .

He welcomed us kindly, spoke with pleasure of Archdeacon Wix

.... This is, I believe, the second time only in nearly 70

years that he has seen a clergyman..." [CI:136:?2:CI]

William married Joe (Native), Elizabeth in Unknown Location. Elizabeth (daughter of Joe (Native), Thomas) was born in in Unknown Location; died on 24 Jun 1841 in Unknown Location. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
