13. Moses Spurrell and Honor Sexton of Butter Cove

The first settlers to Butter Cove were Moses Spurrell and his wife Honor Sexton. Moses was born on June 8, 1803 in Trinity to John and Sarah (Verge) Spurrell) and Honor was born on March 9, 1809 in English Harbour to James and Martha (Hiscock) Sexton. Moses and Honor married in Trinity on November 28, 1828. They first settled on the south side of Trinity before moving to Sooley’s Cove, near Dunfield in 1840. By that time they had six children, of which one had died in infancy. Moses and Honor spent four years at Sooley’s Cove where three more children were born. Most likely Moses heard from other local fishermen about the good fishing grounds in the Heart’s Ease Beach area. With his family growing and the fishing grounds in the Trinity area becoming crowded, Moses and his two eldest sons began fishing in the Heart’s Ease Beach area. It is probable that Moses and his sons built a tilt in Butter Cove in the summer of 1844, since there was no one living there and they wanted to be near their fishing grounds. In the spring or early summer of 1845 Moses moved his family to Butter Cove. It appears that for the first few years, before they built a house, they lived in a couple of tilts they had built into the side of the hill. Maybe they felt that their stay was temporary and they would eventually move back to Sooley’s Cove. However, their family continued to grow and four more children were born after they moved to Butter Cove. It wasn’t until the birth of their youngest child in 1853 that the community was listed officially as Butter Cove. Moses’ and Honor’s five surviving sons married women from the local area and settled in Butter Cove. Moses was in his 60’s when he died at Butter Cove. Honor was 86 at the time of her death.

14. Edward Thomas Whalen and Clementina Janes of Caplin Cove

Edward Thomas Whalen was born at Bradley’s Cove, Conception Bay in 1832 to Edward and Mary (Luther) Whalen. Edward Thomas married Clementina Janes of Grates Cove in 1857. Their first four children were born at Bradley’s Cove. In 1866, a son, Josiah was born at Caplin Cove, Trinity Bay. It appears that it was in that year or the year before that Edward Thomas and Clementina moved to Caplin Cove to become the first permanent settlers there.

16. King Family of Loreburn / Little Heart’s Ease

There is a Philip King who shows up in the Fox Harbour (Southport) Voters’ List for 1841, 1842, 1843 and 1844. A Philip King also shows up in the 1869, 1870 NW Random Voters’ List and again in the 1884 Voters’ List for Robbins Bight (may be St. Jones’ Within).  This may be the same Philip King who married Mary Batstone in 1825 at Hant’s Harbour, Trinity Bay. Two known children for them were Adam, b.c 1827 and Absalom b.c.1835 in Broad Cove, Conception Bay. This may be the same Adam King who married Dorcas Moores of Adam’s Cove in 1854 at Blackhead, Conception Bay. It was Adam’s and Dorcas’ son, Joseph Andrew King who married Caroline Price of Hant’s Harbour and settled in (Long Cove) Loreburn, Trinity Bay, where Caroline’s family had moved.

In 1904 there are no Kings showing up on the Voters’ List for Loreburn, as Joseph had died in 1895 and his wife, being female, would not be permitted to vote. In the 1913 Loreburn Voters’ List his sons, Bertram (Bartholomew) and Jeremiah are listed since they are old enough to vote. In 1908 Joseph’s son, Absalom, married his first wife, Cecilia Ann Jacobs and moved to Little Heart’s Ease. By 1921, his brothers, Bartholomew and Jeremiah had also moved their families to Little Heart’s Ease.
