They had the following children:
M i Henry JACKSON F ii Phoebe JACKSON F iii Ann JACKSON 1 was born 2 in 1865. F iv Emma JACKSON 1 was born 2 in 1866. F v Elizabeth JACKSON F vi Amelia JACKSON F vii Martha JACKSON M viii Eli JACKSON 1 was born 2 in 1879. He died 3 in 1901.
Thomas JACKSON [Parents] 1 was born 2 on Apr 25 1839 in Lower Island Cove, Conception Bay, Newfoundland and was christened 3 on Aug 02 1840. He married 4 Mary Magdalene BURSEY on Nov 12 1861 in St. Paul's Anglican Church, Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland. Thomas resided 5 in Brigus, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland.
RESIDENCE:
1. According to Joyce (Bishop) Dobbie's notes Thomas moved to Brigus after the death of his first wife. Her name is not known. There is a question as to his date of death. All his children [as recorded by Joyce] were born after his date of death - something is incorrect here. Perhaps the date of death is for his first wife.
NOTES:
1. Per Pat Stewart: He may be the "child" listed in the United Church Baptismal Records, L.I.C., Nfld. He does show in Henry Jackson's [b. 12/1775] bible.
MARRIAGE:
1. Per the NGB Website's transcription of the St. Paul's Anglican Trinity Parish Marriage Register for 1861 -
"This is to certify that THOMAS JACKSON, of Shoal Cove in Trinity Bay, Bachelor, of , and MAGDALEN BUSSEY?, Grates Cove, Spinster, were married at the Church of St. Paul on this twelfth day of November in the year of our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and Sixty-one by me Benjamin Smith, Minister.
This marriage was solemnized between us, Thomas (X) Jackson and Magdalen (X) Bussey, (X) being their marks, in the presence of William (X) Adams, Maria (X) Miller, Elias (X) Rowe, Louisa (X) Maybe, George (X) Jackson and Elizabeth (X) Rowe, (X) being their marks."
2. Per above - two things become evident, Thomas is a bachelor, hence likely there was no first wife per Joyce Dobbie's notes and the date of death in her notes is likely a typo for his date of marriage. I have corrected my records for Thomas to reflect this evidence until proven otherwise.
Mary Magdalene BURSEY [Parents] 1, 2, 3 was born 4, 5, 6 on Feb 02 1843 in Grates Cove, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland and was christened 7, 8 on Sep 03 1843 in Lower Island Cove, Conception Bay, Newfoundland. She died 9 in 1878 and was buried 10 on Jul 28 1878 in Shoal Harbour (Cavendish), Trinity Bay, Newfoundland. Mary married 11 Thomas JACKSON on Nov 12 1861 in St. Paul's Anglican Church, Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland.
BIRTH:
1. Joyce (Bishop) Dobbie's notes have her listed with Reuben Jr's family, but her birthdate is too early for this to be accurate. Jackson family file say born 1842 from Grates Cove and Legge family file says 1842 - 1878. Joyce's notes indicate that no parents are listed for Madelene/Magdalene. I believe she is a relative of Reuben Sr's family, perhaps William is his brother, until further information is available, I have unlinked her from Reuben Sr.
2. Sandy MacEwen [smacewen@voyager.net] lists Magdalene as the child of Reuben Sr. so this would seem to be confirmation, however, she lists birth at April 1854 in Lower Island Cove and baptism at 25 June 1854, Lower Island Cove. It would seem that this is another individual that she is referring to.

CHRISTENING:
1. Per the NGB's transcription of St. Paul's Anglican Parish, Trinity, Trinity Bay Parish Records of Baptisms for 1806-1807:
"1807 - June 13 - A Son to CHAR'S & CATH'E HOWELL* of New Harb'r Pub'y Named CHARLES 18th Oct'r 1806.
* 'HOWELL' is somewhat smudged and 'NEWHOOK' has been written immediately above it - Transcriber"
BIOGRAPHY:1. From "Pot Heads and Drumhoops, A Folk History of New Harbour, Trinity Bay" (Page 65), by Garry Cranford with Raymond Hillier:
"Charles Newhook III inherited his father's shipyard and maintained the close relationship to the Garland firm at Trinity, now operated by John Bingley Garland. Newhook was married at Trinity, in Garland's parlour in 1821, apparently at the tender age of fifteen years. Vessels definitely attributable to him include ARISTIDES (1836), BILLOW (1838), LANCET (1837), LEAH (1846), NEW LANCET (1853), and ZEPHYR (1835). The largest of these was the 200-ton ARISTIDES, built for Charles Fox Bennett, a merchant with a wide-flung business empire in Newfoundland, including an establishment at New Harbour. From 1824 to 1853, Bennett had at least eight vessels built or rebuilt there. After building an empire on trade in salt fish and beer (he established Bennett Brewery in St. John's), he entered politics and was the successful leader of the anti-Confederate movement in 1869. In 1870 he became the fifth Prime Minister of Newfoundland.
The 1840's were difficult years for the fishery in Trinity Bay, and the social conditions were appalling. The editorialists of the day implored the merchants to 'make work' by commissioning new vessels to be built in Trinity Bay, or by sending their ships there for repairs, especially over the winter of 1845/46. Many businessmen responded, and shipbuilding played an important part in creating employment for men and women desperate to provide for their families.
New Harbour was fortunate in that Charles Newhook was also a trader as well as a shipbuilder. Hopeful that the years ahead would be better, he decided to build a new vessel for his own use. He laid the keel of the LEAH and launched her in January of 1846. 'The Weekly Herald and Conception Bay General Advertiser' reported on January 14, 1846: 'A fine new vessel measuring upwards of 100 tons, was launched from the dockyard of Mr. Charles Newhook, of New Harbour, Trinity Bay, a few days since. She is represented as being a perfect beauty'."2. According to Charles G. Strong: Other sources have said he was married in 1831, at the age of about 24.
3. Per N. C. Crewe:
Charles Newell Newhook (third), 1806-71
Born at New Harbour in 1806, eldest son of Charles Newhook (second). He must have been educated at Trinity or Harbour Grace, or some other place with a better school than would have been found at New Harbour. He wrote a fine hand, and was for many years, down to his death, the Justice of the Peace, and the leading inhabitant, at New Harbour. I feel he was the best educated of all the Newhook stock in Newfoundland, until the emergence of his grand-nephew, the late Doctor William H. Newhook, M. D., who died at Whitbourne about 1963.
About 1830 Miss Sarah Lander, daughter of the deceased sea-captain, Thomas Wise Lander, came out from Poole, England, to visit her re-married mother, then Mrs. William Davis Cross, at Trinity. A fortune-teller had told the young lady that the first man she would meet in Trinity would marry her. Sure enough, Charles Newell Newhook (third) was the first to help her off the vessel in Trinity, and in 1831 they were married there, where their first child was born next year.
Then he moved from Trinity to New Harbour, where he succeeded his father as master shipbuilder, presumably for the Garland firm or its successor in business, and his father moved back to Trinity.
In New Harbour, Charles Newell Newhook (third) took over the plastered house, and some of his fifteen children were born in it. But about 1845 he purchased, from its then owner, the large house that the Garland firm had built for their agents' residence, together with the extensive land and premises, on what is now called Newhook's Point. This house was occupied in our day by his son, Postmaster John Newhook, whom I first met there one Sunday in 1928; it was taken down by its last owner, John's daughter, about 1958.
Charles Newell Newhook (third) was both a master shipbuilder and a merchant, or merchant's agent, during his life at New Harbour. Philip Tocque refers to him, on page 138 of his book "Newfoundland as it was and as it is in 1877" as "merchant and shipbuilder." His grandson, Mr. Robert F. Newhook, of 29 Amherst Heights, St. John's, tells me that he had some connection at New Harbour with the St. John's firm of Charles Fox Bennett & Co.
Archdeacon Edward Wix, in his book "Six Months of a Newfoundland Missionary's Journal," relates on page 18, first edition, that he walked from Spaniard's Bay across to Trinity Bay one day in February 1835. He goes on to say, "...... by half-past seven p.m., I reached the house of the Mr. Charles Nieuhook, junior, of New Harbour, a late worthy parishioner of the Reverend William Bullock at St. Paul's Church, Trinity, whose father is of French Huguenot extraction." This Charles Nieuhook, junior, was Charles Newell Newhook (third), and his father, then living at Trinity, was Charles Newhook (second).
On page 82 of volume one of his book "Excursions in and about Newfoundland," John B. Jukes relates that the small ketch in which he was journeying anchored in New Harbour on 17 July 1839, and that next day "...... Mr. Nieuhook of New Harbour treated us very kindly, and piloted us out in the morning ......" This was Charles Newell Newhook (third).
A letter, written from New Harbour and signed A Rambler, in "The Patriot," a St. John's newspaper, on 8 October 1853, speaks of Charles Newell Newhook (third) thus: "...... It is but justice to say of Mr. Newhook that he is a double honour and a double credit to this little settlement, a man justly respected and esteemed by all who know him. Mr. Newhook is the father of twelve children, and I question whether a family of more exemplary moral training is to be found within the precincts of our country ......"
In an obituary of John Newhook (Postmaster at his native New Harbour and last surviving son of Charles Newell
Newhook), in the St. John's "Evening Telegram" of 12 December 1934, H. F. Shortis writes in part as follows: "Charles Newhook built the brig Charles for C. F. Bennett & Co., St. John's. She left St. John's at 4 o'clock one Friday evening in 1834 and on Sunday week Mrs. C. F. Bennett attended morning Divine Service in Bristol Cathedral. There are scores of other vessels built by the Newhooks that were noted for their great sailing qualities." Mrs. Bennett was obviously a passenger on the short crossing.A page-long column in an old St. John's newspaper, entitled "Memorable springs and other information, Seal Fishery," has this to say concerning the year 1833: "Celebrated for the loss of the schooner Union, Capt. Jno. Delaney, with a picked crew of 28 men from Trinity; built by Charles Newhook of New Harbour for Jno. B. Garland, merchant; capsized while under full sail. April 23rd, the schooners Active and Avon took some of her seals and towed her for 2 days, but had to let her go."
The foregoing builder of the Charles and the Union was, I assume, Charles Newell Newhook (third), although he might have been Charles Newhook (second).
Lawrence O'Brien, merchant of St. John's, advertised in "The Public Ledger" of 8 December 1840 as follows: "On sale a new brig (not yet registered) of about 150 Tons Burthen, built at Trinity Bay, of the very best materials, by that established Ship-builder, Mr. Newhook, and under inspection of the owner; having extra BREAST HOOKS and FASTENINGS, BEAMS, &c, and is of a superior description, being intended for the Seal Fishery and the general trade of the country; was launched in June last, and now laying at the wharf of the Subscriber (advertiser)."
The foregoing builder of this new brig was, I assume, Charles Newell Newhook (third), although he might have been either of his two uncles, William Newhook (Trinity) and James Newhook (Norman's Cove), for whom see below.
Charles Newell Newhook (third) died at New Harbour in 1871, and his body was taken across the bay to Trinity for interment in the family vault in the Anglican cemetary.
No names or particulars are known to me of other vessels that Charles Newell Newhook (third) master-built or repaired.
DEATH:
1. Per the Harbour Grace Standard & CB Advertiser for 1871:
"June 14, 1871 - (Death) - At New Harbor, Trinity Bay, on Wednesday, 31st ult., Charles NEWHOOK, Esq., J.P., a native of that settlement, aged 66 years. His remains were conveyed to Trinity on the 3rd instant for interment in the family vault."
Sarah LANDER [Parents] 1, 2 was born 3, 4, 5 in 1810 in England. She died 6, 7 on Jul 10 1901 in New Harbour, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland and was buried 8 in New Harbour, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland. Sarah married 9, 10, 11 Charles Newell NEWHOOK Esq., J.P. on May 04 1831 in Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland.

NOTES:
1. From this excert from "Pot Heads and Drumhoops, A Folk History of New Harbour, Trinity Bay" (Page 65), by Garry Cranford with Raymond Hillier about Charles Newell Newhook, Esq., J.P. is of particular note because of the vessel LEAH launched in 1846, possibly in my opinion, named for his daughter:
"Charles Newhook III inherited his father's shipyard and maintained the close relationship to the Garland firm at Trinity, now operated by John Bingley Garland. Newhook was married at Trinity, in Garland's parlour in 1821, apparently at the tender age of fifteen years. Vessels definitely attributable to him include ARISTIDES (1836), BILLOW (1838), LANCET (1837), LEAH (1846), NEW LANCET (1853), and ZEPHYR (1835).

BY WHOM BURIAL SERVICE PERFORMED Charles Granger, Lay reader
JLB: It is possible this is the sibling to Robert of Charles Newell Newhook, Esq., J.P. and Sarah Lander. Reasons for possibility (1) burial date, day after supposed death day listed on stone and first three digits of year match stone per my transcription, (2) no other records for Newhooks buried per Trinity Records match info on stone. Two problems with this being Leah are (1) listing as an infant, unless this is a peculiarity of the lay reader for children, when stone appears to say 8? years (2) listing of Trinity as last residence, presumably Leah was living in New Harbour as she was buried there and not at the family vault at Trinity. As this list does not necessarily mean burial at Trinity, it is difficult to say. Conclusion: include as a challenged daughter of Charles and Sarah. To do: (1) determine if Charles Granger, was layman for New Harbour and view other baptisms by same for completeness and accuracy, (2) contact NGB's Don Tate, see if can get scan of original document, (3) recheck other Newhooks for possible infant deaths at this time, (4) recheck Trinity baptism records for birth or baptism record for Leah (5) get copy of photos from Stonepics database.F v Hannah Lander NEWHOOK 1, 2, 3 was born 4, 5 about Feb 1845.

ADOPTION:
1. I am including Isabella as a member of this family based largely on supposition and coincidental information, which is explained further below. It should not be considered as proof of adoption.
2. Per discussion with Monty Newhook, Monty indicated that Charles Newell Newhook and Sarah (Lander) Newhook were known to have adopted several children. Further we both are unable to identify the some twelve to fifteen children that are attributrf to this couple. Based on our discussion of the 1945 Census of New Harbour in particular, he agreed that Belle is likely to be one of these missing children.
3. I am including a christening record found at PANL because of the coincidental dates of birth/baptism and name. Also because the mother, Sarah Higdon, later married Aubrey John Newhook, cousin to John Newell Newhook, with whom Isabella resided.
4. According to the census information the exact relationship to Charles Newell Newhook and John Newell Newhook is very confused. In 1921 and 1935, she is listed as neice to John and Jessie respectively, which would make her a grandchild of Charles Newell Newhook. In 1945, she is listed as Vida's Aunt, which would make her a child of Charles Newell Newhook. If in fact Isabella is the daughter of Sarah Higdon, Isabella is a cousin of sorts to Vida, by the later marriage of Sarah Higdon and Aubrey John Newhook. This may explain why she is listed as John Newell Newhook's neice in the census.
5. Also according to the census information we get varying dates for her age and year of birth. In 1921, She is 48, b. Aug 1873. In 1935, she is age 68 - this would place her birth at about 1867. In 1945 she is age 77 - this would place her birth at about 1868. Since the 1921 Census is known to have incorrect information relating to year of birth and age at last birthday for individuals born during the months following during and after the census was taken (August 1921), it is most likely that the 1921 Census information for year of birth or age is incorrect. And we can likely assume that Isabella was born in either 1867 or 1868 based on the other two census calculations.
6. Isabel Newhook was a witness to the marriage of John Newell Newhook and Louisa George in 1902.
