Notes:

Elizabeth Brake # 16061 was the daughter of Joseph Brake and Mary Mitchell. She was born in 1836 and died 1917. Both Joseph and Mary died in 1850 a couple of weeks apart and Elizabeth was only just turned 14yrs. Before Marrying Joseph Blanchard, she lived with Richard Wheeler who took care of her.I have a copy of Elizabeth,s offical birth record and the obit of her death. In the obit it states she was a daughter of Richard Wheeler but not so. I have the birth record of one Ann Wheeler a daughter of Richard born in 1836 a few weeks after Elizabeth. So impossible for Elizabeth to be his and his wife daughter.

«tab»According to statements in local histories some researchers have concluded that Mary, wife of Charles PAYNE Senior, early resident of Cow Head, was born Mary BROOKS. This conclusion may not be correct and was likely based on the incomplete or biased reading of a notation in Bishop FIELD's 1849 List of Inhabitants. The conclusion is also questionable in light of a more recently discovered document, The Last Will and Testament of John BROOK, 1823.

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]

Joseph Brake
Joseph was referred to by J. B. Jukes in 1839 (1993:52) as an Indian:
On the opposite side of the sound to the old man's house we found an Indian wigwam, with an old Indian woman and her two daughters, one of the latter of whom has a daughter married to one of the old man's sons opposite. The old woman had a kind of moustache tattooed on each cheek, and spoke nothing but Indian, but one of the daughters could speak English. An Indian man, the husband of one of the daughters, was living with them, but was now away in the woods.

This daughter of the old Indian woman was Mary Mitchell. The old woman's husband was Captain Jock Mitchell
[antecedent of Matthew Mitchell].

Joseph Brake is listed in Bishop Edward Feild's "List of Inhabitants 1849" as having 2 children with a total of 4 in the family living in Deep Cove, Bay of Islands. In Bishop Feild's journal on his voyage of visitation around the island of Newfoundland in 1849 (pp. 48-49) he writes:

August 3, 1849. We went on shore directly after breakfast to visit a family who had returned from the fishery yesterday evening. The man is a Brake, brother to the Brakes mentioned before. The mother is a Micmac Indian from St. George's Bay... Her father, she said, was Captain Jock. Four of their children were baptized with the conditional form.
