Biography
Mary was born about 1830 at Red Cliff, Newfoundland. She was baptized on May 11, 1831.[1] Possible this Mary died and Charles and Elizabeth had a second child named Mary.
There is a second baptism record for Mary Quinton at Red Cliff with same parents. Date of baptism is Nov 2, 1832.[2]
Red Cliff History[3]Open Hall was settled around 1770 by Joseph Batt. Joseph Batt held a fishing room in Greenspond in 1769, however he moved from there to Open Hall in the next year. As a result, a nook in Open Hall Harbour arrived in his name, Joe Batts Cove. It is likely that Open Hall was settled long before this date by French fishermen. However this was not recorded by British Authorities because of disputes over the territory. The original name of the settlement was Open Hole. This name was given by Dorset fishermen who colonized Bonavista Bay. Open Hole is translated from the French name " La Bonne Eau" which means Good Water. (Also called Open Hall-Red Cliff)
