John "Jack" Rossiter

• Name	John Rossiter

  Voter	From 1847 to 1859	Caplin Bay, Newfoundland   [2]
  Although there was a John Rossiter is listed at Athlone (on the north side of Caplin Bay) in the Voters Lists of 1840 to 1842, earlier references suggest this individual was not "Jack" Rossiter. In 1842, this John Rossiter sold his land at Athlone, and it appears he may have left Caplin Bay. I believe the first Voter's List entry for "Jack" Rossiter was actually in 1847. His residence for that year was recorded as Road Side, but in later lists it was also recorded as Harbour or Riverhead.
  Died	30 May 1911	Ferryland, Newfoundland   [3]
  According to family information, Jack was living at Ferryland with his daughter, Margaret, (Mrs. Martin Curran) when he died.
  Buried	Abt 1 Jun 1911	Holy Trinity RC Cemetery, Ferryland, Ferryland District, Newfoundland, Canada   [1]

  Notes	The late Ray Curran wrote that his great-great grandfather had a severe speech impediment, and was often referred to locally as "Stutterin' Jack" Rossiter.
