BIOGRAPHY:
1. Per N.C. Crewe:
William Newhook (Trinity), 1782
Born at "Trinity Bay," assumedly Trinity, in 1782, second child of Charles Newhook (first). He married Mary McGrath of Trinity in 1808. For distinction, I affix the word Trinity to his name, as he was the only son of Charles Newhook (first) to spend almost his entire adult life in that place. His first child was born at New Harbour in 1809, where he therefore must have lived for a short time.
I have a Servant's Agreement, made at Trinity in 1819, whereby William Newhook (Trinity) agrees to serve Robert Slade, merchant there, for one year in the capacity of master shipwright, for the wages of fifty pounds for the whole period, plus an agreed list of provisions each month.
In Bayly's "list of Ships surveyed," quoted in section (4) above, there is listed the brig Black Prince, 132 tons, built in Trinity in 1841 with the name of Wm. Newhook as builder.
In Accession no. 253, at the Newfoundland Archives, there is a manuscript "List of Mr. Robert Slade's Servants at Trinity, Fall 1811." In it, William Newhook is listed as master shipwright from October 1811 to May 1812, at the wages of 110 shillings per month.
No names or particulars are known to me of other vessels that William Newhook (Trinity) master-built or repaired.
Mary MEGRATH [Parents] 1, 2 was born 3 on Dec 10 1792. She married 4, 5 William NEWHOOK on Oct 31 1808 in St. Paul's Anglican Church, Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland.
They had the following children:
F i Mary Young NEWHOOK 1, 2, 3 was born 4, 5 on Sep 04 1809 in New Harbour, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland and was christened 6, 7 on Oct 23 1809 in Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland.

JLB, it is possible the 1804 above was misread by the transcriber and should be 1809, this is how Roger Cole read it, and it would place the birth after the marriage date. There are no notations made by the minister to indicate that the child was admitted with conditions or was born before the marriage which he commonly did in other such cases of a child born before marriage.F ii Elizabeth NEWHOOK 1, 2, 3, 4 was born 5, 6 in Mar 1812 and was christened 7, 8 on Mar 06 1812 in Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland.

BIOGRAPHY:
Charles Newhook (bachelor), 1817-95
Born at Trinity in 1817, son of William Newhook (Trinity). Died in 1895 at St. John's, where he is buried. He never married.
In Hutchinson's 1864 Directory, he is listed as a shipbuilder at Trinity.
Messrs. Archibald, and Gilbert G., Christian, of St. John's, men in their eighties, recall him as an old, small, bearded man at Trinity when they were boys there. They know he built a schooner called Lizzie, for their grandfather, George Christian. They say the last vessel he built at Trinity was the Hiawatha, which I myself have seen.
Of his skill, Mr. Archibald Christian relates two anecdotes. First, he shaped a new stem for a vessel under repairs; when brought to be fitted in place, not a shaving had to be pared off it. Secondly, when a shipwright who had built a vessel in Prince Edward Island got nervous about the launching of her, Charles Newhook was brought there from Trinity and did the job.
Mr. Gilbert G. Christian, when about seven, was launched in the new schooner Alberta, which Charles Newhook
master-built in Slade's Cove, Trinity, for the local firm of Robert S. Bremmer.
In "The Enterprise," a Trinity newspaper, of 4 December 1909, Rev. Walter R. Smith, who spent a number of years of his youth at Trinity, writes as follows: "I saw the new Dart launched in February 1859. She was a handsome craft, and designed and built by that A1 shipbuilder, Mr. Charles Newhook, who died at St. John's only a few years ago ...... she was not a very fortunate ship ...... In the future, I may speak of the Isabel, Thomas, Trinity and Henry Thomas; all these brigs I saw launched. They were all designed and built by Mr. Charles Newhook."
A letter signed Rambler in "The Enterprise's" issue of 27 November 1909 speaks of "...... a little house in which Mr. Charles Newhook, shipwright, used to keep the models of the vessels Trinity, Henry Thomas and many others which he built."
In the 1934 obituary in section (5) above, Shortis says that the Newhooks built "...... also the famous Henry Thomas, in which Capt. John Houlahan brought in 11,000 seals one spring."
An anonymous article entitled "Harbour Grace History, The Old Ships, etc.," in the St. John's "Daily News" of about 19 May 1959, reads in part as follows:-
"The Henry Thomas, one of the best known ships of those years, was built by Charles Newhook at Stoneman's Dock at Trinity, and was launched on the 8th February 1858. She went to the seal fishery in March that year under Capt. George Stoneman, and was also employed in foreign parts with Stoneman as master ...... Capt. Field was in charge of her on a voyage to Sydney, and on her way back she was wrecked at St. Pierre. The St. Pierre merchants bought her and had her repaired, and made her the clipper of the French banking fleet. It was said that she could go through ice where other ships would get jammed and that she could run 18 knots."
A newsitem in "The Courier," St. John's, of 17 January 1855, reads as follows:-
"On the 4th of January there was launched from the dockyard of Messrs. R. Slade & Co., Trinity, a fine new brigantine named Isobel, of the burthen of 151 tons, new measurement. She was built by Mr. Charles Newhook, is intended chiefly for the seal fishery, and by competant judge is pronounced a handsome vessel, and as strong as wood, iron and good workmanship can make her. The launch was witnessed by a crowd of spectators all wishing success to the good ship and to her long-established and highly respectable owners."
Mr. Andrew Horwood, of 140 Campbell Avenue, St. John's, tells me that on her first sealing voyage, the Isobel was dismasted in a gale, that she worked into Trinity under jury rig, was re-rigged as a brig and went out to the ice again the same spring.
No names or particulars are known to me of other vessels that Charles Newhook (bachelor) master-built or repaired. He was the last Newhook master shipbuilder to practise that calling in Trinity, T. B.M v William NEWHOOK M vi George NEWHOOK 1, 2 was born 3 on Jan 01 1826 in Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland and was christened 4 on Jul 01 1826. M vii Ebenezer John NEWHOOK 1, 2, 3 was born 4 in Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland and was christened 5, 6 on Dec 12 1830 in Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland.

BIOGRAPHY:
1. Per N.C. Crewe:
James Newhook (Norcove), 1788
Born at Trinity in 1788, fifth child of Charles Newhook (first). His adult life was spent partly at Trinity, partly at New Harbour, perhaps partly at Dildo and certainly finally at Norman's Cove, Trinity Bay, at which last place he appears to have settled about the year 1835. He was the first progenitor in Norman's Cove of all the subsequent Newhook people there. He married first Elizabeth Green, of New Perlican, in 1811, and one of their children was Mrs. Catherine Tilly, of section (2) above. I affix the abbreviation Norcove to his name, because of his final residence at Norman's Cove. He is said to have had twenty-one children by his two wives.
In Bayly's "List of Ships surveyed," quoted in section (4) above, there is listed the brig Mary, 109 tons, built in Chapel Arm, near Norman's Cove, in 1841, with the name Jas. Newhook, Senr., as builder. This is obviously James Newhook (Norcove).
His great-grandson, the late Charles Newhook (died at Norman's Cove in 1962, aged 86) knew that he had built one ice-hunter on the beach at Norman's Cove, but was of opinion that most of the vessels he built were fishing schooners.
On page 82 of volume one of his book "Excursions in and about Newfoundland," John B. Jukes mentions that when he sailed by Norman's Cove in July 1839 there was a small schooner on the stocks there.
No names or particulars are known to me of other vessels that James Newhook (Norcove) master-built or repaired.

It is a long straggling, yet pretty village, and has an additional interest as having been the home of the"Dairyman's Daughter", to whom the pen of Legh Richmond has given such celebrity. The place of her abode stands on the south side of the road. Arreton church, dedicated to St. George, is and old edifice, with a large embattled tower. In it are several mural tablets: in the aisle is a flat tomb inlaid with the effigy of a warrior, with his feet on a lion; and on an adjacent pillar is a wooden tablet, recording in doggeral verse the good deeds of a benefactor to the parish; here also, in a desk erected for that purpose, is kept a copy of "Foxe's Acts and Monuments", 9th ed., 1631. In the churchyard are deposited the remains of Elizabeth Wallbridge, the"Dairyman's Daughter", whose epitaph is universally known.M iii James NEWHOOK F iv Jane NEWHOOK was born on Jan 18 1807.
