1788 - Yes, date unknown
Generation: 1
1. | Newhook, James was born on 22 Dec 1788 in Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland, Canada; and died. Notes:
14) James Newhook (Norcove), 1788 Born at Trinity in 1788, fifth child of Charles Newhook (first). His adult life was spent partly at Trinity, partly at New Harbour, perhaps partly at Dildo and certainly finally at Norman's Cove, Trinity Bay, at which last place he appears to have settled about the year 1835. He was the first progenitor in Norman's Cove of all the subsequent Newhookpeople there. He married first Elizabeth Green, of New Perlican, in 1811, and one of their children was Mrs. Catherine Tilly, of section (2) above. I affix the abbreviation Norcove to his name, because of his final residence at Norman's Cove. He is said to have had twenty-one children by his two wives.   In Bayly's "List of Ships surveyed," quoted in section (4) above, thereis listed the brig Mary, 109 tons, built in Chapel Arm, near Norman's Cove, in 1841, with the name Jas. Newhook, Senr., as builder. This is obviously James Newhook (Norcove). p>   His great-grandson, the late Charles Newhook (died at Norman's Cove in 1962, aged 86) knew that he had built one ice-hunter on the beach at Norman's Cove, but was of opinion that most of the vessels he built were fishing sch ooners.   On page 82 of volume one of his book "Excursions in and about Newfoundland," John B. Jukes mentions that when he sailed by Norman's Cove in July1839 there was a small schooner on the stocks there.   < p> No names or particulars are known to me of other vessels that James Newhook (Norcove) master-built or repaired.
James married Green, Elizabeth on 28 Dec 1811 in St. Paul's Anglican Church, Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland. Elizabeth was born about Jun 1792 in Scilly Cove, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland or Heart's Content, Trinity Bay; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

9. | Newhook, Catherine (1.James1) was born in 1824; and died. Notes:
When I was a small boy at Elliston, Trinity Bay, the grand old lady of the place was Mrs. Robert Tilly. Her husband, the first resident supplying merchant, had died as far back as 1872. I recall her speaking to me about three times; I had even then come to know that she used to say three things about herself. First, that she was born at New Harbour, Trinity Bay, to the name of Catherine Newhook; secondly, that her father and his father, were shipbuilders in Newfoundland; thirdly, that her paternal grandfather was a Frenchman.
 
Mrs. Tilly died in 1912 at the age of 88, and I attended her funeral. The officiating English-born curate said, in a short address, that her soul was now in Paradise. This doctrinal statement was seriously questioned by my foster-father and his fellow Salvationist, Bobby Hobbs. They were of opinion that clergyman ought to have said Heaven, not Paradise, which the latter place was unknown to them as a country eternal.
 
In 1928 I married her grand-daughter. Ever since then, I have been gathering data on the Newhook stock, for compiling the family trees of my wife and children. It is my opinion that I now have, on file or in my head, more information about the Newhooks, from their origin in this Province down to the present time, than is known to any other living person, and more than has been known to any other person in the last seventy years.
 
In the course of research, I have contacted several elderly Newhooks, but all of generations younger than Mrs. Tillys.
