The Town of Norman's Cove Long Cove

James Newhook is said by that family to have been the first settler of Norman's Cove. However, another family claims to have settled before Newhook, George Temple having come directly from England. Given that Newhook probably was at Norman's Cove seasonally for almost a decade before moving his household, there is likely truth in both claims. The community appears in the first Census in 1836, with a population of 37. In 1992 Newhook was the most common family name at both Long Cove and Norman's Cove, while Temple was also present in both places. Other Common family names of Norman's Cove include descendents of fisherman who came from New Harbour or Chance Cove (Cooper and Piercey) and settled after marrying Temple's daughters or were connected by early marriages to the Newhooks (Smith and Thorne). The Whites are said to have come from Trinity to work at the Newhook ship-yard. Previous Page Next Page |
