• Notes

  Found at: http://home.earthlink.net/~lkstrong/s00724.htm The Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador, Charles Newhook: "Newhook came to Newfoundland from Europe around 1777 to work for the mercantile firm of Benjamin Lester. An 1808 note in the register at St. Paul's Anglican Church in Trinity indicates that the name Newhook is from the French Huguenot name Nuik, and it is generally agreed that the first Charles Newhook was of French extraction." Several Newhook researchers no longer believe the validity of a Huguenot connection. St. Paul's Anglican Church records say that "C. W. Newhook Sen(r) was buried on November 24, 1799." N. C. Crewe: Charles Newhook died at Trinity relatively young. The epitaph on his headstone, in St. Paul's churchyard there, reads as follows: "In memory of Charles Newhook, who departed this life the 18th November 1799, aged 47 years. Also of his daughter, Sarah Newhook, who departed this life the 7th November 1798, aged 2 years and 9 months." There is an excellent narrative of the Newhook family history at http://members.lycos.co.uk/spadespages/family/ref_new_nimshi.html Charles Newhook (first) died at Trinity relatively Young. The epitaph on his headstone, in St.Paul's churchyard there, reads as follows... "In memory of Charles Newhook, who departed this life November 18, 1799, aged 47 years. Also of his daughter, Sarah Newhook, who departed this life November 7, 1798, aged 2 years and 9 months."
