The Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador, Charles Newhook, at http://enl.cuff.com/entry/63/6324.htm, "Newhook came to Newfoundland from Europe around 1777 to work for the mercantile firm of Benjamin Lester. An 1808 note in the register at St. Paul's Anglican Church in Trinity indicates that the name Newhook is from the French Huguenot name Nuik, and it is generally agreed that the first Charles Newhook was of French extraction." Several Newhook researchers no longer believe the validity of a Huguenot connection.

Michael Cooper reported "Elizabeth is listed in the 1800-01 census of Trinity Bay in the town of Trinity as the head of the household. She is listed as single, 0 men, 4 children (3 boys and 1 girl)".

Michael Cooper reported "I got the information [Wilcox surname] from the marriage record of their daughter Mary. She was the one baptised in 1786 and married to William Higden in 1806. The marriage record stated "Bride's Mother Nee Elizabeth Wilcox"."

From Marriage Data - Bonivista Area at http://www.huronweb.com/genweb/nfdata/060/parish/mar/trin_stpaul3.htm
"1806 23(d) Married William Son of Benj(a) & Cath(e) Higden of Eng(h)
Harb(r) & Mary Dau(r) of the late Charles Newhook by His wife
Elizabeth, now Wilson.".

St. Paul's Anglican Church records say that "C. W. Newhook Sen(r) was buried on November 24, 1799."

The birthdate listed for Mary (ABT May 1785) is suspect. She was baptized on October 11, 1786. There is another baptism record for a child listed as "IL" on April 17, 1785.

N. C. Crewe: "At Trinity, or elsewhere in that bay, there were born all his now traceable eight children, between 1778 and 1799, six sons and two daughters. ... Charles Newhook died at Trinity relatively young. The epitaph on his headstone, in St. Paul's churchyard there, reads as follows: "In memory of Charles Newhook, who departed this life the 18th November 1799, aged 47 years. Also of his daughter, Sarah Newhook, who departed this life the 7th November 1798, aged 2 years and 9 months."
