From The "Diary of Burgeo, Newfoundland". Written in 1925 by Joseph Small[1]: Now we will go out to Firby's Point [in Burgeo, Newfoundland] where we find Uncle Geo. Hare and his brothers and father. A very old man and his brother-in-law, Matthew Gore and John Caswell an Englishman. This family of Hare's came from Belloram in say 1843 and found this Point waiting for them and I have been told by them fairly wooded. George took the Point from where now Samuel Hare's southern boundry is. He was a neat builder of punt and later skiffs. Mrs. Hare was a Kelly I believe. John was the oldest son of this family, then Mary , James, George, Thomas and Robert. Mr. Hare and his wife been long dead. Robert and family lived at Sydney up to 1910 but I believe dead at this date.
