From Lench: The Abbott Family: No history of Bonavista Methodism would be complete without a reference to one of the most numerous family names in the whole community. On the first list of membership we find the name of Abbott as leader and members. Joseph Abbott led the way in the first decade of Methodism and the Abbotts have already had their representatives in church life. In 1822 Joseph Abbott had 22 members, and thirty- five years later, in 1857, he still retained 26 names on his Class book. It appears that the Abbotts sprang from two stocks, one came direct from England and the other from a northern settlement.
Abraham Abbott may be regarded as a celebrity in his way. He was Exhorter and Class Leader. On one occasion he was brought into court for some remark made in the pulpit. Before the verdict was given Mr. Abbott was asked for his defense, according to British fair play, and his accusers were put to silence and Abraham, though "severely tried" walked triumphantly from the Court Room. He was still at his post of duty in 1866. Having served his generation by the will of God, he fell asleep on March 1, 1876 in his 81st year. "The memory of the just is blessed."
James Abbott, another of the noble standard bearers in 1857, had 26 names on his register. Roger Abbott has for many years been a strong man in the Loyal Orange Association. Hezekiah Abbott is a worthy successor of a good stock. He has charge of over forty members and they all love him. He is a valuable member of the various Church Boards. No man has rendered more loving, faithful and willing service. May he live long to continue his cheerful services as trustee, class- leader, exhorter and collector of minister's stipend. His godly wife after a long and painful affliction has passed over the Jordan triumphantly.
TC Note: Abraham (1790-1871) probably named after Abraham Akerman. TC Note: Lench did not mention church-stewart, Roger Abbott of 1824, nor church-stewart Malcolm Campbell. XXXXXX

Obtained May 7, 1986 from Victoria College, Toronto: From Provincial Wesleyan Magazine- April 1869: MRS. MARY ABBOTT, BONAVISTA, N. F.
March 22nd, 1869, widow Mary Abbott, somewhat suddenly departed this life. About the year 1817, during a revival, when Rev. Jas. Hickson was stationed at Bonavista, she was converted to God, and continued a member of Society until the day of her death. The first Sabbath in March found her at the weekly class meeting. She was a widow about 36 years, and amidst the cares of life trusted in her God. Seized with pneumonia, an illness of a few days finished the mortal strife. Her departure was unexpected, and our hope is that she is now numbered with those before the throne.

Letter from Mrs. Harper containing Abbott information I had asked her to verify for me from the Trinity Register:
Port Hope, On. L1A 3Y5 Dec 19, 1989
Dear Thomas Cole,
Would you believe that the Trinity Reel I ordered 27 Feb arrived a couple weeks ago!! I'm still waiting for the Bonavista/ Catalina one & St. John's (COE) Cathedral.
The reel couldn't have come at a worse time really- & I guess I should have had the Bonavista/ Cat. one first. I'm not sure what names I should be looking for- other than Hancock, Greening, Lodge, Lethbridge, Quinton & Short (maybe). On the Trinity reel I found a few Hancocks: Thomas = 1761 Ann Pottle; James of Thomas & Ann = 1796 Elizabeth Pinhorn; James =1833 Elizabeth Fleet. There were a lot of Quinlans but only a couple of Quintons (maybe the minister forget to cross the t's?). Hopefully the Bonavista register will tie some of this in - then I'd like to go back over the Trinity register.
Meanwhile I didn't have time to look for all that you wanted but I did keep my eyes peeled for Abbott and the enclosed must be the citation you wanted -dated 1830 not 1810- but does mention William Wiltshire. Sorry, our PH Library doesn't have a copier but this is it, word for word.
Thanks for all your help.
Sincerely, Ruth Harper See Wiltshire file for above Wiltshire citation.

Letter dated May 11, 1995 from:
Mrs. Marion Scott Dear Mr. Cole,
Your query in the latest "Ancestor" interests me on several accounts. I have been involved in genealogical research for a number of years, and one of my roots goes back to an Abbott family of Bonavista. Specifically to the marriage of one Sarah Abbott in 1799 to Jean de Beaumont, who had been in the French Navy at the time of the Revolution, and ended up in Newfoundland rather than going back to France and the guillotine. They had a number of daughters, one of whom married Archibald Campbell, and who was my ancestor. I have been unable to learn anything further of Sarah and Jean, except that he changed his name to John and his religion to Methodism and she ended her days in St. John's, where she went to live with a daughter, presumably after the death of her husband.
Have you encountered a little book written by Charles Lench called "The Story of Methodism in Bonavista"? It has a wealth of information on the period you are interested in, c1818. A class list of the Methodist Church for 1823 lists:
Joseph Abbott, Jr. William Abbott, Sr. James Abbott. William Abbott, Jr. Stephen Abbott. Martha Abbott, Jr. Abraham Abbott. Hannah Abbott.
William also contributed to the minister's salary in 1819.
My second interest lies in your name, Thomas Cole. That was the name of one of my gg grandfathers. He was born in Exeter, in Devon, one of a large family. He became an engineer and was attached to the British Army in the building of forts on the Channel Islands, the south of England and on Gibraltar. His wife was Louisa Ayre, a sister of Charles Robert Ayre who emigrated to St. John's and founded the firm of Ayre and Sons. His daughter Rose Emma came out to work in her uncle's firm and later married John Edgar Pickavant Peters. They were my great grandparents. Thomas had a number of sisters and two brothers about whom I know very little, but it is possible that they also immigrated to Newfoundland or elsewhere in Canada. Their names were George Heath Cole, born June 20, 1820 and Frederick William Cole born November 19, 1824, both in Exeter and George Heath was baptized in St. David's parish there. George was in England in 1850.
If any of this information is of interest to you, or if you know anything which might be of interest to me in connection with what I have written I would be delighted to hear from you.
Sincerely, Marion Scott (Mrs) XXXXXX
May 18, 1995 Mrs. Marion Scott Dear Mrs. Scott,
Thanks for your very interesting letter concerning Bonavista families.
I was well aware of the two Campbell brothers marrying the Beaumont sisters in Bonavista and of the unfortunate drowning of your ancestor Archibald Campbell.
I think Sarah Abbott was a daughter of Hugh Abbott but this you will have to verify from the Church of England register at Bonavista. My ancestor Joseph Crew (who married c1836 Amy Abbott) also had a sister Sarah Crew who married a Hugh Abbott. This is Bonavista's number one most prolific family, perhaps because they were there for so long. The oldest record I have is "Wife of John Abbott, buried 1709". Perhaps you can send me the records you have from Bonavista.
My first Newfoundland Cole ancestor was Thomas Cole married in 1794 at Bonavista to Susannah AIRS/ AVIS (The register likes like Avis, but possibly Mr Akerman wrote Airs. From family tradition most past researchers have concluded her name was Ayers). Both names- Avis and Ayers- were in early Bonavista, so I don't know what to think- even after over ten years research). There were several Bonavista families coming from Wimborne Minster, Dorset so presumably Thomas Cole was the same born there in 1767, son of Richard Cole and Sarah Forrest (In 1713 a Forrest boy of Wimborne Minster was apprenticed to the Newfoundland trade).
Sincerely, Thomas R. Cole XXXXXX

Dear Mr. Cole,
This is a belated note to you. A Mrs. Elizabeth Noseworthy, Pouch Cove, Nfld informed me that at an earlier meeting of the Gen. Society, St. John's you were inquiring if anyone knew of the Abbotts in Nfld. Yes, I'm off the Abbott tree and a member of the Gen. Society, St. John's Nfld.
I would say you are a descendant Cole from Elliston where some Abbotts are, but the larger groups are at Bonavista, where my gr gr grandfather resided. Father was born here. The Abbotts are from Christchurch, near Poole, England. I know several Cole families from Elliston, Nfld. The register for the Methodist (UC) and C of E are in the Archives at the Colonial Building, Military Road, St. John's. Hope this might help you, and your Abbott inquiry.

Dear Mr. Abbott,
Thank you for your recent letter re: Abbott family history.
Here are some of my Abbott notes, presumably you can make some sense out of them:
My ancestor Joseph Crew (who married c1836 Amy Abbott) also had a sister Sarah Crew who married a Hugh Abbott. This is Bonavista's number one most prolific family, perhaps because they were there for so long. The oldest record I have is "Wife of John Abbott, buried 1709".
Our known Abbott ancestors in Bonavista (there are more, probably):
Mary Mesh daughter of Richard & Ann bapt 2 Mar 1815 COE. [TC Note- Mary Marsh = Robert Tucker Was she Mary Mesh, daughter of Richard Mesh & Rose (Ann) Abbott? Most likely!! Mary was baptised as a daughter of Richard & Ann].

Letter from D. Domoney dated Jan 08, 1996:
Dear Tom,
Thank you for your note on 16 December.
I have attached True Copies of certificates I received from PANL, and a page of burial records I received from the Bonavista Anglican Church. One True Copy is of the marriage of William Hapgood and Mary Gosling, and the other is of the baptism of Eliza Abbott. My interest in the former is that the third child of William and Mary married the original member of my namesake family (John Domoney) in Newfoundland. I believe I have sent their 1826 marriage record to you earlier. Eliza Abbott married the fifth child of John and Mary Domoney (Allan) and that line eventually leads to me. Every one of that line, includong Allan, are buried within a couple of miles of each other in central Alberta. The burial page was obtained to get the first record. The Mary Domoney is the former Mary Habgood.
I have also attached a page of research notes sent to me by my Newfoundland researcher. He was trying to find some things that might give some clues about the origins of John Domoney, and ran across this material. On that page he has transcribed the baptism of the three Hapgood girls in 1806, and guessed at their birth dates. He then found two records of birth for John Abbotts. Do you have any idea of which might be the father of the Eliza noted in the previous paragraph/ Given Eliza's baptism date in 1837, I would guess that her grandparents were John and Ann, although given her name, perhaps she was the daughter of Richard and Elizabeth. I presume that my researcher's speculation about Mary Gosling is correct, and that she was born several years before her baptism. Bearing in mind that the Church of England 'punished' the citizens of Bonavista by not having a resident pastor from about 1750 to 1825, late baptisms probaby were the order of the day.
Do you happen to have any connections in Trinity? My great grandfather married a Jemima Perry in Bloomfield in 1885. Jemima had a brother named Moses that I am certain about, and another brother named Josiah that I am less certain about. They were children of a John Perry, lay Methodist minister and ship "captain" who allegedly was from a long line of Newfoundlanders. According to family tradition, John Perry captained multi-masted deep sea ships. The Trinity records were lost in a fire in 1913, so of course there is no direct way of checking any of the vital statistics that arise in the family gossip.
Do you have some evidence showing that my John Domoney was from Lychett Minster?
Sincerely,
Dennis W. Domoney XXXXXX

Enc. Meth Obit for Mary Abbott 1869. Letter dated Jan 31, 1996 from D. Domoney:
Dear Tom:
Thank you for your note 22 January.
I don't know if you are aware of any of the following sources, but I pass them along for your consideration in any case. I presume you know the Seary book on Newfoundland surnames. Seary mentions Lovell (1871) from time to time. I have attached a copy of the page for Bonavista from Lovell [TC Note- only first page]. Another surname source that is not as well known is Who Was Who in the Fishing Industry, 1660-1840 by K. Matthews (1971). This book lists surnames of the Island together with the English county or country origin plus the type of work people of that surname were engaged in. Not detailed, and unfortunately no parish of origin. Nevertheless, it does provide some first ideas about where to look for European ancestors. On a more specific level, you might want to look at The Story of Methodism in Bonavista by C. Lench (1919). I read this some time ago and was less interested than now, but I do recall a considerable number of mentions for the Abbott family, with specific names and dates. It may be helpful for sorting out that family and others in the early to middle part of the 19th Century. I obtained both books through interlibrary loan, and you should be able to do so as well, although with your home close to University of Toronto, you may be able to get the Lench book directly from the United Church archives.
I have found, I think, another source similar to the Newfoundland and British North America Society for Educating the Poor (NSS). If so, and there are useful references therein, I will let you know. I have managed to follow the NSS on a few years into the 1840s, and the following Roger Abbott and John Domoney mentions were made: Roger & John in 1837/8. John in 1839/40, Roger in 1840/41, Roger & John in 1841/42, neither in 1842/43, and neither in 1843/44. No other Abbotts or Domoneys were mentioned in any of these years. I notice that you have not mentioned 1833/34 in your correspondence to me. In that year J Abbott Sr., J. Abbot Jr., Joseph Abbott, Roger Abbott, Solomon Abbott, S Abbott Jr. as well as my John Domoney donated to the NSS.
Sincerely,
Dennis W. Domoney XXXXXX

Letter dated 29 Feb 1996:
Dear Tom,
About a month ago, I told you that I thought I had found another source of information similar to the Newfoundland and British America Society for Educating the Poor (NSS). Indeed I have! The source is the Annual Reports of the Newfoundland Church Society (NCS). I have attached a copy of the pages covering Bonavista for 1862. I am not certain about which families you are chasing, or for what years, or which towns, although I presume Bonavista is of interest. The NSS reports that I have found cover the period from about 1830 through the late 1840s, while the NCS covers the period from about 1850 through about 1870.
Conveniently, both the NSS and NCC are available in microfiche format, among a very large collection of 19th Century Canadian writings. The organization responible for producing these microfiche is the Canadian Institute for Historical Reproductions (CIHM). I found the collection at the University of Regina in their microfilm sub-library. I am certain that both the University of Toronto and York Universitty will have this collection in your area. Ryerson, I am certain will not. I am also sure that any of the middle size and older universities will have this collection as well. While most of the 100,000 documents are of no interest to me, and probably not to you either, you should at least have a look at the subject index for Newfoundland for this collection, several years of the Lovell Directory, including the 1871 version that Seary mentions. As well, there are other directories from as early as the middle of the 19th Century to the end of the Century. Many years of the Newfoundland Almanac are also in the collection although I have not yet had time to look at any of the copies in enough detail to know if there is anything of interest for family historians.
These two sources have been valuable to me because they tell something about the makeup of my early ancestor, and have shown me that he remained in Bonavista throughout his life. Before seeing these annual reports, I had believed the ancestor I was chasing had moved from Bonavista to Musgravetown and back again. I now have some doubts about that movement, based on the location from which he made his donations- always Bonavista.
Sincerely,
Dennis W. Domoney

Mark, Pardys abound at Christchurch, so begin there and bear in mind that Christchurch was, at this time, a part of Hampshire, whereas now it is Dorset. Poole and Christchurch are two distinct towns.
Also consider that the Abbotts were in Bonavista before this particular Hugh, so check out the family Bible entry first; there are too many false leads in and around Bonavista.
Send along whatever you have! Tom XXXXXX
Elizabeth Newell born about 1690/1700, daughter of James/ and granddaughter of Thomas, lived at Bonavista and was married to an Abbott - most likely Hugh Abbott, born about 1690/5. Elizabeth had a son named Richard Abbott. Apparently Elizabeth’s brother William was also married to an Elizabeth. The records indicate that this Mrs William Newell had an illegitimate son, Thomas Slate Jr for Thomas Slate Sr., either before, during or after her marriage to William Newell. It also seems as though this Thomas Slate Jr was raised as Mrs. Hugh Abbott’s brother, for we find records referring to Thomas Slate, Jr as a nephew Richard Abbott.
The following Abbotts in Bonavista are most likely siblings of Richard Abbott and therefore children of Hugh and Elizabeth: (1) Hugh born abt 1720, (2) Stephen born 1714, (3) William born 1723, (4) James born abt 1730. XXXXXX

1.In your email entries there is one, on page 25 as it prints on my printer and about 5 pages before the Abbott database which refers to HUGH married Sarah which gives information that Hugh was born in Christchurch Dorset England and supposedly confirmed by Roland Abbott of Musgrave Harbour by information from a family Bible. I would be most grateful if you could provide the email address for this sender and/or Roland Abbott as this appears to be a very strong possibility of a branch from my tree.
2.My research goes as follows and I can provide you a copy of my tree document, if you so wish. I do have birth and/or baptism dates for nearly all on my tree as taken from the original records in Bonavista as I indicate in para 3 below.
3.Background I was born and raised in Bonavista (1940) but left there many years ago. My father David Abbott was born in Newmans Cove but moved to Bonavista after marrying Alice Templeman. My brother and I had often mentioned the fact it seemed we had no relatives in the large Abbott community of Bonavista and all our family connections were in Newmans Cove, everyone from Newmans Cove seemed to be a cousin. Several years ago I decided to do my search on all family names and have done reasonably well but have hit the proverbial brick wall with Joseph Abbott (Sr.) in Newmans Cove [baptized 12 Jan 1810]. I just could not make a connection to Bonavista except having met several cousins, one of whom said before Joseph it was SW England via a short stop in Bonavista. This seemed to support the thought we were a different stock than Bonavista. See also the comment in the Methodism in Bonavista as quoted in your document.
Last summer I visited Bonavista and had the opportunity to visit with Marguerite Linthorn who ran the museum in Bonavista for many years, but now retains only the genealogy records of the town, various church records etc. She is a distant cousin on my mothers side and I had asked her if we could trace the Abbotts of Newmans Cove since these records were kept under Bonavista for many years.
As per my request she had done just that and confirmed everything back to Joseph [of Newmans Cove] who married Elizabeth Hicks, my great grand father John Abbott Sr etc is that line which continues in Newmans Cove up to my Father David. The next connection found is that this Joseph is a child of Hugh Abbott and Sarah??.
Other children of Hugh and Sarah? as per the search performed for me by Ms.Linthorn are Ann, William, Stephen, Samuel. This seems to correspond with the correspondence I referred to above. The email referred to refers to their line as Stephen of Hugh and Sarah (Pardy) of Bonavista. If I could get this confirmed perhaps the link can be confirmed, perhaps one son of Hugh moved to Newmans Cove and another (Stephen) to Musgrave Harbour, and we could bring some branches back to the tree.
Many thanks in advance
I am also doing some research on Templeman, Tilley of Bonavista, Hicks, Skeffington of Newmans Cove.
I will await your reply before posting a similar request to the NGB site. Feel free to pass this info and my address to anyone you think may be interested and may have a connection . regards. Howard Howard M Abbott [email protected] [email protected] XXXXXX

Can you resend this email or other information with more specific dates, since I have about 15 Hugh Abottts up to 1880. Tom
From: "Howard Abbott"
Here is the info I have to date with dates as provided to me. What makes me think Hugh could be a connection is he falls in line with the right siblings and there is no record of his birth in Bonavista only a record of some of his family. The info I have on Hugh and his family was taken from the records in Bonavista last summer.
*****This is where I think Hugh comes into the picture and perhaps fits with the information on your page from Mark....Quote from Colestips. I am pretty sure about Hugh and Sarah [Pardy] Abbott as parents to my Stephen born 1801. His son Stephen was born 1832 and died 1905. Note:our Hugh has a son Stephen as well…..Quote from Mark in Colestips:

Howard, From: "Thomas R Cole"
Howard, You must have noticed that Joseph Abbott of Hugh was a "planter" in Bonavista in Lovell's 1871, indicating that he was a Bonavista man up to that year (1871). Maybe the burials will reveal something. There was also a Joseph Abbott in Muddy Hole, Twillingate born abt 1825, m to Martha, and Lench states one branch came from a northern community. Xxxxxx
Lovell's Directory for 1871, Bird Island Cove (now Elliston) Newfoundland - Richard Avhitt - is a misprint for Abbott or Abgood. Mostly likely Richard Habgood since his records are found also in the Elliston Church records. xxxxxx Ryan’s Records – Abbott at Bird Island Cove (now Elliston) Newfoundland for 1917: Joseph age65 Father Hugh.

This paper clipping relates to her 100th birthday:
Elizabeth Abbott Cole was born at Elliston on May 4, 1884. She is the daughter of Joseph and Mary Jane Abbott. On May 15, 1905, Mrs Cole married Nehemiah Cole, also of Elliston. He was employed for some years in the U.S.A., but the couple eventually settled in Grabd Falls. There Mr Cole worked in the papermill until his retirement in 1947. In (about 1960) the Coles moved back to Elliston where they built a new home. They continued to live there, spending the winters with their son Ray and daughter-in-law Gwen in Corner Brook. On May 15, 1973, they celebrated their 68th. wedding anniversary. Mr. Cole died in June of that year, at the age of 93. The Coles had eight children, three of whom are still living. These are Isaiah of Epworth, Dora of London, Ontario, and Ray, who is the current Minster of the United Church at Musgravetown. Mrs. Cole’s eldest son, who lived for over fifty years in Boston, died there on July 8, 1984. Mrs. Cole also has eight grandchildren, nineteen great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. Mrs. Cole is a resident of the Blue Crest Interfaith Home at Grand Bank, where she enjoys reasonably good health. Xxxxxx

My father's family is from Bonavista and I am working on my family tree and the Abbott's are on my father's mother's side of the family. I have read a lot of information that you sent to Colestip on the internet and I was wondering if you are in the same Abbott line that my great grandmother is from. The information that I have is as follows:
Mary Jane Abbott married George Fisher on March 31,1877 (Taken from the Bonavista Methodist Records). They had my grandmother - Maria Fisher Born August 3, 1883 died August 1920 age 38. Maria's brothers and sisters were Kitty Ann (Catherine), Alfreda, Sarah Jane, James, Samuel, Albert, John and Edmund Fisher. Maria (my Grandmother) was married to Edmund Sharpe on January 10, 1906 at Christ Church Anglican Church by Rev. A.G. Bayly. I don't have any more information on the Abbott's from Bonavista and I have seen a lot of Family trees but I don't know which one my great grandmother is from. If you can help me or anyone that you know please email me at [email protected]
I also noticed that you were from Newman's Cove. Do you have any information on the Skiffington's. I have a Mary Skiffingto who married James Sharp on October 23, 1824 at Bonavista.
Other names that I am interested in from the Bonavista area are Flinn - Bird Island Cove, Fisher - Bonavista. Also in Colestips you spoke of a Marquerite Linthorn who ran the museum in Bonavista for many years but now retains the genealogy records of the town, and various records etc. Do you have a address, phone number or email address for this lady?
Any information on any of these email please. Thanks in advance
Hi Helen, Sorry I am not of much help at present re: your Abbotts, since I am searching out much older material. The note re: Newman's Cove is from Howard Abbott – [email protected] [email protected] Will keep your notes in case anything comes up. I should be more up to date with Fisher since both my aunt and sister married them. All for now Tom xxxxxx
Dear Tom, A tiny snippet from the records of Thurstons School in Brockenhurst, Hants 1794 - Obadiah SHARP aged 11 left for Newfoundland. I wonder if he made it. Yours Theresa xxxxxx
From: "Howard Abbott"
I have been researching my line of ABBOTT for some time now and have just made a possible breakthrough linking the Newmans Cove ABBOTT line to some of the Musgrave Harbour ABBOTT line. What I have discovered is the line as follows
Joseph Abbott Sr., Newmans Cove BB NL, 12 January 1810 - ? Possibly born in Bonavista & moved to Newmans Cove. +Elizabeth Hicks, Bonavista/Newmans Cove BB NL. Hugh Abbott.....Circa 1765.....Came to Bonavista from England - Thought to be the Christchurch/Poole area of SW Great Britain. +Sarah (Pardy?)
At this point I have fragmented support that the wife of Hugh was a PARDY from Bonavsta and they had several children, Ann, William, Stephen, Samuel, & Elizabeth in addition to Joseph, some of whom moved to the Musgrave Harbour area. Hopefully they may have some documentation, Family Bible, Birth certificate etc, to support this connection. I would appreciate contact with anyone from these areas who might have some info on this connection.
Howard M Abbott [email protected] [email protected] xxxxxx ABBOTT, WILLIAM, ?-1859 William Abbott, brother of Joseph Abbott, was born in Little Stickland, Westmoreland, England, and came to Canada with his brother in 1818. In 1824 he was ordained deacon by the bishop of Québec, and sent to the mission at Yamaska Mountain (later named Abbotsford). In the following year he exchanged parishes with his brother, at that time Rector of St. Andrews. Under William Abbott's direction, the building of Christ Church, St. Andrews, was completed and the parish consolidated.

Howard, Sorry I can't read any of it (Bible entries) and I am particularly interested in the Hugh Abbott, Christchurch notation.
I was of the opinion that Stephen Abbott who married in 1824 to Elizabeth Goodland moved to Doting Cove and this same Stephen was the one baptised 1801 to Stephen and Sarah Greening. Do the Bible notations mention specifically that Stephen was the son of Hugh?

Thomas I will get back to you re Christchurch although I spoke to Roland some time ago and he assured me, although he is 90, his family has always been aware of their ancestry through Hugh Abbott from Christchurch, near Poole, Dorset England. I only have the two pages I sent and the transcript I sent is what is on these two pages. I hope to get more this summer. The offspring of Hugh as shown is nearly the same as I received from Marguerite Linthorne in Bonavista. The pages from Roland indicate the spouse name of Stephen as Elizabeth Abbott but have been unable, so far, to determine if this is your Elizabeth Goodland or did he actually marry another Abbott. I will try to call him before I go and will ask about this. I hope to have a copy of the will of Hugh to take with me. Thanks in advance Howard. XXXXXX

Good morning Thomas
Since last we corresponded I have made contact with Roland Abbott of Musgrave Harbour and received a copy of his family tree and photo copies of the pages from a family bible he holds. I hope to visit him this summer and my upcoming trip to Newfie. Roland has provided me with corroborating evidence that my line to Hugh Abbott in Bonavista is, in my opinion, correct and a son of Hugh [Stephen] who migrated to Musgrave Harbour, is a brother of my GG grandfather [Joseph] who migrated to Newmans Cove. The dates are in line as well as the names of some other children of Hugh as provided both by Marguerite Linthorne in Bonavista and Roland in Musgrave Hr. He, Roland confirmed to me that his family were always told that their ancestors came from Christchurch, near Poole, Dorset England. Hopefully I can get further clarification on this if I am able to visit him this summer. Unfortunately Mr. Abbott does not have email and my information has been gathered by phone and snail mail.
One other bit of info is that Hugh Abbott, according to Bonavista records married Sarah? According to Roland's records Hugh Abbott married Sarah Pardy.
Your site has been of considerable help, thanks, I will let you know if I find anything of interest during my visit.

Hi Howard, Nothing in my webpage is ever carved in stone, so I am only too happy to make adjustments, so that future researchers don't follow dead ends.
I too have a somewhat personal interest in a Stephen Abbott as follows: Amy Abbott, whom I believe is a granddaughter of Richard Ryder, first married in 1836 To Joseph Crew, later remarried 1843 to a Stephen Abbott (widower?) and moved into Bonavista Bay. Summerville was mentioned as her abode.
Possibly then Hugh Abbott came to Bonavista with his father or near relative Hugh Abbott (1695?-) who was referred to as Hugh Abbott Sr in 1755.

Hi Thomas It has been awhile since I last corresponded with you but I did promise I would touch base after my return from NL and after visiting with Roland Abbott in Musgrave Harbour NL.
Well I did just that this past summer and we had a great visit, meeting face to face for the first time and exchanging genealogical information. We are both convinced that my GGG grandfather Hugh Abbott of Bonavista who married Sarah Pardy is his GG Grandfather and did come from Christchurch, near Poole, Dorset England as he had known and heard all his life. Neither he nor I have pursued this any further... yet. Roland has turned 90 and I am in my early 60's which accounts for the one generation difference. Dates and papers he had correspond with information I had collected from the papers held in Bonavista. Unfortunately he does not have a PC and correspondence is by phone or snail mail unless someone wants to visit.
2.I did clarify with him that the wife of Stephen Abbott, another son of Hugh was indeed Elizabeth Goodland [dau of William and Mary Goodland of Bonavista] and he has enough documentation to support this. The entry in the bible lists her as Elizabeth Abbott but it is agreed that is simply because the writer started the entry after the fact and entered her married name.
Many thanks for the use of your database which is invaluable regards Howard.

September 13, 1764 at St. John’s, Governer Palliser heard the case of Jonah Newell vs Elizabeth Abbott re: ownership of Newell’s Plantation, property of Jonah’s grandfather Thomas Newell, who died intestate. Edward Newell, son of the Thomas Newell and uncle of Jonah Newell and uncle of Elizabeth Abbott took possession. When Edward Newell died the property went to brother of Edward, Jonah sr., who subsequently left it to his son Thomas Newell. When this Thomas Newell died, Jonah jr., brother of this younger recently deceased Thomas Newell took over the property. This is when Elizabeth Abbott, granddaughter of the original Thomas Newell intervened since she and her late father James Newell were somewhat ignored and we can understand why she was so perturbed as she was the only remaining true Bonavista family resident – the others being from the Trinity Bay area.

Abbott is Newell's grandson and is appealing a decision made by Governor Palliser to grant the inheritance to another grandson of Newell.
