The Joes and Benoits stayed on the south coast. There were also LeBows, now called Olivers, who lived in St. Georges. There was also an Englishman named Stride who married into the Bambo family in Conne River. There was also a Mi'kmaq reserve in the middle of Gambo; there were Joes and Pauls who lived there. I just got a very interesting map from the Public Records Office in England. It shows that the Newfoundland Colonial Government set up a Mi'kmaq reserve in the Codroy Valley. Current maps show it as Roman Catholic Church land. I'm not sure of the family names on that reserve, but I think there were some Glodes , Stevens and Georges. I don't know what happened to these people. There are Glodes and Stevens in Deer Lake today. The Stevens also lived at Halls Bay too, but instead of moving to Conne River, they moved to Deer Lake. There were some Jeddores who moved from Halls Bay to Deer Lake as well. There are some Mi'kmaq families still in Deer Lake. |
