The marriage document of John and Mary Ann was lost in a church fire at Birtchy Cove (now Curling), Rev E.Z. Rule Preist. Early in the marriage of Mary Ann they lived in Gilliams, 5 miles west of Summerside. Mary Ann may have been a resi dent of this community. They returned to sumerside later. (Note provided by Leslie Loder)

Noted from List of inhabitants 1838 Western Shores of Newfoundland shows no listing of John Loader. Although this may be a partial list, we can assume that John had not yet come to Newfounland.

John Loader (jr) was born in 1847.

We can assume tha John Sr. arrived in Newfoundland between 1838 and 1847.

A Journal of a Visitation in the "Hawk" Church Ship,
On the Coast of Labrador, and round the Whole Island of Newfoundland, in the year 1849.
[By Edward Feild, Lord Bishop of Newfoundland]

Source; Bishop Edward Fields journal, Bishop's Visitation 1849 (pg47,48,54)

Thursday August 2nd, 1849; After dinner we rowed down to Gilliams Cove, about nine miles to visit a family named Blanchard. The wind and tide were against us, and the pulling was very laborious. We reached the place just before sun-down. It is a beautiful little farm, and has quite an imposing appearance from the water. The house is mean 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 a ge. His mental faculties are good, but his bodily strength is nearly gone. He welcomed us kindly, and spoke with pleasure of Archdeacon Wix. A young man named Lorder (Loader) who was in the house, whom we had met coming towards us in a boat, inte nding to ask if we would take their dried fish, having concluded that we were traders. He (Loader) had been shipped from Dorsetshire a few years ago as servent to Mr. Brake, and had married and settled here. He expressed great anxiety to have his two children babtized; they were absent with their mother at Cape Gregory, fishing. fifteen miles off; but he resolved to bring them back tomorrow if I would remain till the evening. This I promised.

Saturday August 5th, 1849; God upon us, we joined the Church Ship, released from her disagreeable and discreditable recumbency and under sail about 11 o'clock. The wind was light, but the night beaitifully fine, and soon after midnight we had ta ken leave of the Bay of Islands and were creeping gently along the shore towards Bonne Bay. Two families were brought on board the church ship, that the children might be baptized. One was the younger Blanchard, who had come with his wife and chi ldren in an open boat, all precedding day and night; and the other Lorder (Loader), whom we had seen at Blanchard's senior, and who with his wife anhad rowed some fifteen miles to bring his children for the baptism.

The Community of Summerside:

Sumerside is a small community on the North Shore of the Bay Of Islands bordered on the west by the community of Meadows and on the east by Irishtown. To the south is the water of the Humber Arm - better known to the people of the North Shore as "the bay". This community is one of history, sprit and culture.

Settled in 1840 by John Loder, this community has grown to a population of approximately 900 people. It consists of may entrepeneurs who have successfully opened their own businesses. There are two confectionary stores: Norht Shore Video which of fers a variety of videos, and a dairy bar and McLean's store which meets your everyday needs. Summerside Ultramar offers assistance when you have car troubles and you can expect friendly service while you gas up. Sumerside is also the home of Nor tique Fashions which offers beautiful outer ware and accessories.

Sumerside was the site of the only slate mine (which is currently closed) in the Bay Of Islands. There was also a Herring meal plant which processed meal from the waste of Herring. This meal was then sold as fertilizer.

If you ask a typical teenager what there is to do around Summerside they would probably answer "nothing" but they usually find something to occupy their time. In the winter they spend their time snowmobiling, skating, or skiing. During the summer they spend their time swiming and playing softball in the evenings. Summerside has a beautiful park equipped with a swiming pool, swings, slides, picnic tables and a baseball field.

There is more to Summerside than meets the eye. If you spend a little time you will find that the people are firendly and that the community has a sprit culture and history all its own.

John married Brake, Mary Ann. Mary (daughter of Brake, John Matthews and Blanchard, Elizabeth) was born about 1829; died on 3 Jun 1887; was buried on 6 Jun 1887 in Curling, , Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

It is my belief (not proven) that he married Mary Ann Brake, dtr of John Matthews Brake and Elizabeth Banchard.

According to Leslie Loder, to date there is no proof that Mary Ann's last name was Brake.

Source Judy Williams:
Judy has been told by her her family in NFLD the Mary Ann's maiden name is Brake. Her Father is Apparently Joseph Brake b. 1812 and her brother hte infamous Ben Brake. However she cannot find anythig as yet giving Mary Ann's maiden name as Brake, she is always listed as Loader.

James married Elizabeth ?. Elizabeth and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

John married Blanchard, Elizabeth. Elizabeth (daughter of Blanchard, William and Joe (Native), Elizabeth) was born in 1795 in Gillams, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada; was christened about 1835; died before 1849 in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

John Matthews Brake married Elizabeth Blanchard, daughter of William and Elizabeth. (We know this from notes to the will of Joseph Blanchard, Elizabeth's brother). John was one of Ralph and Jane's older child ren...born in Burgeo I believe. He was a widower at the time of Feild's visit. We believe that most of John's progeny constitute the Brake's of Trout River and Woody Point area.

Notes:

Ralph Brake was born in Yetminster, Dorset and was apprenticed to the fishing trade in Newfoundland by a Charity when he was 13 Years Old. He settled in the Bay of Islands, married and had eight sons and two daughters (proof in his will) . All Bay of Islands Brakes desend from Ralph.

Contents of Ralph Brakes Will as sent from Diana Southern email - DianaMSouthern@aol.com

Briefly, here are the contents of Ralph Brake's will dated 1838. It was
proved at it's third attempt in 1866, previous years, 1844 and 1848, but by
that time only one son, William Matthews Brake survived. Apparently Edward,
the educated one, had intermeddled with his father's estate in England and I
don't know what happened to the money. It is all down on the administration
of 1866 in "black and white"

In the will Ralph left:- son, John Matthews Brake - £40, son, Joseph
Matthews Brake - £100, daughter Elizabeth Matthews Brake, wife of Thomas Park
- £20, daughter Jane Matthews Brake, wife of William Wheeler - £20, son,
Robert Matthews Brake - £100, remainder after payment of debts etc. to sons,
Robert Matthews Brake, Ralph Matthews Brake, William Matthews Brake, Thomas
Matthews Brake, and Edward Matthews Brake equally as long as these six
remained in partnership with each other, but if any of the sons came out of
the partnership before Ralph's death, then he was to be paid £100 in full
discharge of his share. If any of the brothers in partnership should died
before Ralph's death, then the business was to be diviided amongst the
remaining brothers in that partnership.
William Blanchard of the BOI and Joseph Bird from England were the executors.

Ralph married Matthews, Jane about 1795 in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Jane (daughter of Matthews, Old Man) was born about 1773 in Burgeo, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada; died about 1819 in Bonne Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada; was buried in Bay of Islands, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

Buried:
Sacred to the memory of Jane BRAKE who departed this life|August the 23, 1819 age 46 years.

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]
