| Excerpt from the Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador: "Orginally known as Farmer's Arm, from the 1870's Summerford was being frequented by winter crews from older communities on the island, particularly Tizzard's Harbour. In the early 1890's the families of Thomas Wheeler, Elijah Wheeler and James Boyd (who was married to their sister Lucy Ann Wheeler) decided to move their households to Summerford. By 1984 these pioneering families were well established, and over the next few years they were joined by a veritable flood of settlers from Twilingate (familiy names Anstey, Jenkins, Compton, Elliott, Maidment, Pelley, Bulgin, and Troake) as well by the Watkins family from Indian Cove and a few additional families from Tizzard's Harbour (Burts and Yateses)" I have worked on a lot of these family trees from Summerford and have posted them here for your perusal. If you notice any mistakes or would like to add anyone to these trees, please feel free to contact me. |
