Samuel married Elizabeth MARTIN, daughter of William MARTIN and Thomasine Lamson MAIDEN, on 20 Nov 1785 in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada 420.,3394 (Elizabeth MARTIN was born before 13 Mar 1767 in Torbay, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada 419,3393, christened on 13 Mar 1767 in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, died before 13 Dec 1843 in Torbay, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada 1192 and was buried on 13 Dec 1843 in Torbay, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada 1192.)
Noted events in their marriage were:
1. Minister/Priest: Walter Pine, 20 Nov 1785, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 1192,3394 220119:
I believe that this marriage was celebrated at the Anglican Cathedral and not in Torbay. According to informaiton online, although the burials in the Old St. Nicholas Cemetery in Torbay date back to 1674, it was not until July 10, 1827 that Bishop Inglis from Nova Scotia consecrated the cemetery and the church. It is not stated when the church itself was constructed but evidence exists for other outport Anglican churches that they were built in haste to be consecrated by the bishop from Nova Scotia during one of several visits in the late 1820s and early 1830s. It is unlikely therefore that there was a church in Torbay as early as 1785.
