Henry RUTHERFORD Esquire [Parents] 1, 2 was born 3 about 1822 in Roxburghshire, Scotland. He died 4 on Aug 24 1859 in Harbour Grace, Conception Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador. Henry married 5 Harriet STARK on Jun 16 1853 in Adelaide Hall, Harbour Grace, Conception Bay, Newfoundland. Henry was employed as merchant 6 in Harbour Grace, Conception Bay, Newfoundland.
BIOGRAPHY:
1. Per "The Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador" (http://enl.cuff.nf.ca/):
"Rutherford, Henry - (1822?-1859). Merchant. Born Roxburghshire, Scotland. Married Harriet Stark. Rutherford was in partnership with his brothers George and Andrew by 1845, when they opened a large wholesale and retail shop in Harbour Grace. Rutherford Brothers traded under the sign of the Ram's Head and even issued, for use in the shop, their own token coins with this insignia and the Rutherford coat of arms. This earliest known token issued by a Newfoundland business has been the object of search by collectors (see CURRENCY). The firm's business dealings were primarily in the Harbour Grace area, but it also maintained premises in St. John's -- a fact which helped it recover from the fire of 1858 which destroyed the Harbour Grace premises. In 1862 the firm had two sailing vessels. Henry Rutherford died at the age of 37, but the business continued until 1870 when the premises were acquired by J. & R. Maddock of Carbonear.
R.J. Connolly (1981),
NQ (Autumn 1937),
Royal Gazette (June 2, 1853; Sept. 19, 1854; Aug. 24, 1859).Currency- (excerpt) The shortage of British coins as legal tender was so widespread in Newfoundland that by 1840 many business enterprises began to issue tokens, coins of copper and later brass and aluminum, which served the same function as the notes of exchange had before. The earliest known token dates back to 1841. It was issued by I. & S. Rutherford, St. John's and was referred to as Rutherford's Ram because such an animal was imprinted on one side of the coin. Others were issued by Peter MacAuslane (St. John's), James Murphy and Sons (Placentia), Garlands (St. John's), Rutherford Brothers (Harbour Grace), and Baine Johnston Co. (St. John's). Job Brothers & Co. Ltd. used them in Labrador and Horwood Lumber Co. used them at their locations in Notre Dame Bay. In order to alleviate the shortage of coinage and replace the tokens a special Act in 1844 provided for the importation of £1,000 of British copper coins but the use of tokens persisted. Because of this and the number of foreign coins in circulation the Legislature passed an Act in 1851 for the provision of a distinct Newfoundland coinage. Tokens were outlawed but they continued to circulate for many years."
MARRIAGE:
1. Per transcription on NFGenWeb of the Weekly Herald and Conception-Bay General Advertiser, 1842 - 1854:
"22 Jun 1853 - Married - Thurday last, at Adelaide Hall in this town, by Rev. Moses Harvey, Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland, Henry RUTHERFORD Esq. of the firm of Rutherford Bros., merchants, to Harriet Green Pring(?) GORDON, second dau of John STARK, Esq, Chief Clerk and Registrar of the Honorable the Northern Circuit Court of this Island."
(Notes - "this town" was Harbour Grace - where the paper was published, 22 June 1853 was a Wednesday making the previous Thursday the 16th of June.)
DEATH:
1. Per the NFGenWeb Information Tidbits - Conception Bay North - Harbour Grace Necrology 1844 - 1898:
1859 - Died at Harbor Grace on Wednesday, August 24, Mr. Henry RUTHERFORD, merchant, a native of Roxburshire, Scotland, aged 37 years.
NOTES:
1. Per the CATC - Canadian Association of Token Collectors (Canada's Leading Numismatic Association for the Study and Enjoyment of Collecting All Forms of Tokens and Exonumia) website:
"The most readily available Newfoundland tokens were made by four brothers from England who set up as merchants in St.Johns and Harbour Grace. These are the Rutherford 1/2d.'s of 1840-1846."
2. Per the ENL entry for Harbour Grace, Conception Bay, Newfoundland:
"The Harbour Grace merchants, troubled though they were, tried to fight the disastrous fishing seasons. The Conception Bay fishing fleet, reduced from 212 sailing vessels in 1833 to eighty-five by 1861, produced lower catches; in 1863 Ridley began to pursue the winter cod fishery from Rose Blanche, and Punton and Munn and other merchants began to invest in the newly introduced steamships. By 1870, however, both Ridley, and Punton and Munn had gone bankrupt, and the Rutherford oper*** {~4~}{~5~}within a week of the disaster.
The Island's economy was soon rescued by Canadian financial institutions. Within a year of the disaster the Bank of Nova Scotia had established a branch in Harbour Grace, the first outside St. John's. The town, which had reached its period of greatest prosperity in the 1860s, continued to decline, however. The opening of the iron mines on Bell Island saw many men forsake the fishery for work as miners; according to W.J. Browne (1935b, p. 15), approximately 200 men left the town to work in the mines for an average salary of $50 a month. By 1923 Bell Island had supplanted Harbour Grace as the second largest centre in Newfoundland; the Census for 1921 showed a population of 2,661, down from 5,184 in 1901. Regular (p. 21) notes that in 1907 the major firms were R.D. McRae and Sons, who pursued the Labrador fishery with a small fleet of schooners and also engaged in general trade; W.A. Munn, still operating a cod-liver oil plant; C. & E. Godden, general dealers; Murray and Crawford, manufacturing seal oil; and A. Rutherford, coal suppliers, who brought coal from North Sydney in their own ships."
