• Notes

  John is thought to have married twice. and that Elizabeth (Eliza) was his daughter by his first wife. We are not sure which wife Emily was from. RnR's diary for Monday September 16, 1940: I spent the whole of the morning visiting. I visited six families. After dinner I went visiting again in South Beaumont. I was put across the south side of Beaumont South by Randolph Rideout. From then I visited nine families. At Mrs. Jacob Hewlett’s I had an interesting visit. She was Emily Rowsell, daughter of John Rowsell, who was the second eldest son of John Rowsell, who was the brother of William Rowsell, who was my great-grandfather, and Mrs. Emily Hewlett’s great uncle. Fanny Foster (my uncle Israel’s wife) she says, was the daughter of Eliza who was the daughter of John Rowsell by his first wife. Mrs. Hewlett made the wedding cake and wedding clothes for my aunt Fanny Rowsell. Mrs. Hewlett was at one time Mrs. Robert Colbourne, was at Tilt Cove when dad and Uncle Israel used to come ashore there.
