James Henry B. CARTER ¹¹¹

   Another name for James was James Norris CARTER ⁷¹⁴.^,4305

  Noted events in his life were:

1. Alt. Birth, 1824, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ¹¹⁰⁴

2. Residence: Attended the funeral of grandfather, John Rendell, 11 Feb 1834, Shaldon, Devon, England. ⁴³¹⁵

3. Occupation: Ship Owner; Given the ANGERONA by his father, 3 Feb 1840, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ⁷⁸⁰

4. Owner: Owners of the Angerona, After 12 Oct 1852, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ¹¹⁴ Tuesday, 1 January 1833
We learn from Robert Carter's diary that the vessel he had been having built for him in 1832, the Angerona, has finally been launched on 20 February, 1833 but it is not made clear if indeed it was able to take part in the seal fishery that year, as was intended.

There were actually three owners: Robert; his brother, James Howe Carter; and John Jellard.

The Angerona was a brig, and thus bigger than most boats being built for the trade in those days which were schooners. It's dimensions were: Length 66 ft.; Width 20 ft.; Depth 11 ft; Gross Tonnage 110.

After the death of Robert Carter, ownership changed to his sons, Robert Carter Jr., and James Henry Carter, who apparently took on Jellard's share, with James Howe Carter retaining his share.
This event was shared from James Howe CARTER who also shared it with Robert CARTER (Owner).

5. Residence: Listed in McAlpine's Directory for 1870-71 but without an occupation, 1870, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ³⁰² There are several James Carters to which McAlpine's may refer but this one seems most likely. He would be listed without occupation because he was too old to be employed but was still considered an important figure in the community.

6. Residence: According to letter from his sister, Sarah Rendell Carter to their niece, Ada Rendell Durant, 20 Jul 1874, New Brunswick, Canada. ⁷⁸⁰ The letter was transcribed by Jean Carter Stirling and a copy of that transcription was given to me by Jean in 2014. This event was shared with Catherine JOHNSTONE.

7. Residence, 20 Jul 1874, New Brunswick, Canada. ³⁷⁶⁶ I suppose you have heard that your cousin Jas. Carter is married. He married a Widow Lady in New Brunswick where he has been living some time. She has a large beautiful farm in the country of her own where they live in winter about six miles from the City. She is a fine woman, a little younger than himself, she was married young the first time and has a family. The oldest son and daughter are both married and comfortably settled, and the others growing up. Kenneth went to see them when he went back. They have ten cows and a great number of sheep.

James married Catherine JOHNSTONE circa 1874. (Catherine JOHNSTONE was born in Saint John, Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada ⁸⁷⁰.)
