		Governor James Gambier gave her presents and entrusted Cull with sending her back to her people, but as far as is known, this effort had no effect on Indian-white relations.

	Blanc Sablon - A Piece Of History
		Considerable friction between the governments of Newfoundland and Quebec was generated by the complaints of those who had obtained Quebec grants to settle along the coast between the St. John River and Blanc Sablon and conduct sedentary fisheries - the Newfoundland authorities being intent upon encouraging the migratory fishery.
		It was eventually agreed to submit the dispute to the Privy Council, Newfoundland claiming that the boundary was defined by the height of land.
		Newfoundland was not then a colony in any official sense, but a fishing station, and it made sense at the time for all British fisheries in the region to be placed under one government.

		During the 1730s successive governors, such as Fitzroy Henry Lee, urged that a court of oyer and terminer be established in Newfoundland, and in 1737 the Board of Trade almost decided to initiate one.

		Governor Edwards's changed instructions of the following year for ruling Newfoundland were the result of these changes in law.
		Since Newfoundland was technically not a colony and had no colonial council to whom the governor was accountable, this partisan Anglican kept his instructions quiet and never announced the religious liberty for Roman Catholics to the magistrates in Newfoundland.
		Newfoundlanders would have to wait for Edward's successor before a policy of religious liberty was announced and implemented.

	fleming (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		In Newfoundland and Canadian Catholic historiography, it is well known that the episcopacy of Michael Anthony Fleming, the Franciscan Roman Catholic vicar apostolic and bishop of Newfoundland (1829-50) coincided with the tremendous growth of institutional Roman Catholicism in the island colony of Newfoundland.
		The conventional wisdom about Fleming and the Newfoundland Irish was established in 1966 by Gertrude Gunn.(2) Her study, completed during a renaissance in Newfoundland historical scholarship, was based on and informed by perspectives found in Newfoundland governors' papers, and based on reports on Newfoundland sent to the British government's Colonial Office.
		Britain was legally powerless to remove Fleming from Newfoundland as long as he did not break the law, and as long as he enjoyed the confidence of the pope.

	Who Were the Beothuk?
		Unlike the Labrador mainland to the north, Newfoundland did not have a variety of large land animals for use as food sources by its native population.
		For this reason, the native population of Newfoundland before contact was always concentrated on the coastline and avoided the harsh climate of the interior.
		Although a succession of Newfoundland governors had, since the middle of the 18th century, attempted to establish friendly contact with the Beothuks, it was probably too late to change a pattern which had existed for perhaps 250 years.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Newfoundland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The real foundation of the Catholic Church in Newfoundland is due to priests from Ireland, who came out towards the close of the eighteenth century.
		In the early history of the country the Catholics were looked on as a proscribed class by the governors of the time, who were generally commanders of British war-ships.
		These acts were undoubtedly illegal, as there was no law in the statutes of the country penalizing the exercise of the Catholic Religion, but the penal laws of Ireland were supposed to be applicable to Newfoundland.

		The alternative was to sign a contract with a company or person of position as a servant for a stated period of time...this often amounted to indentured service....a definite possibility in John's case.
		It is also possibe that John stayed in Newfoundland while his family travelled on...less likely that a family would leave a daughter behind.
		I have also seen the name Roache in Newfoundland birth records dated as early as 1812, implying that, at least in t a William Roache (no relation so far as I know), that spelling of the name goes back a long time, as it does in Ireland.
