Daniel Saunders

1818 - Abt 1836  (~ 28 years)

• Name	Daniel Saunders
  Born	Between 1808 and 1818	Ferryland, Newfoundland   [1]
  There are no precise references as to when Robert Saunders moved from Ferryland to Aquaforte, therefore it is possible that Daniel was born at Aquaforte.
  Gender	Male
  Residence	10 Nov 1818	Aquaforte, Newfoundland   [2]
  Ferryland District - Surrogate Court Records - (ca 1800 - 1820's) November 10, 1818: Sanders, Robert - Resident of Aquaforte left his property to his children: Sanders, William, Daniel, James, Ann, and Mary. Witnesses: Gorman, Richard & Armstrong, William.
  Court Action	1829	Ferryland, Newfoundland   [2]
  Ferryland District Court Records 14 December 1829 Saunders, Donald - Sued this person for wood not paid for: Morrison, James. 14 December 1829 Saunders, Robert - Father of: Saunders, Donald. No other references to a Donald Saunders were found, so in all likelihood this reference is a court error and refers to Daniel Saunders, son of Robert. (Kevin Reddigan).
  Died	Abt 19 Oct 1836	North Atlantic Ocean   [3]
  Robert Carter's Journal - Friday 21 October, 1836. Strong gale S.S.W., with hard rain and heavy sea. It is reported Daniel Sanders and his boys are missing from Aquaforte, supposed to have been upset in a small fishing boat two nights ago off Aquaforte. The 'boys' mentioned were likely Daniel's fishing crew, but no names are known at this point in time. [It is unknown if any of the bodies were later recovered from this mishap.]

  Father	Robert Saunders,   b. Abt 1782, Ferryland, Newfoundland ,   d. 10 May 1858, Aquaforte, Newfoundland  (Age ~ 76 years)
  Mother	unnamed_wife Saunders,   b. Abt 1780,   d. Between 1826 & 1858  (Age ~ 78 years)
  Married	abt. 1806	Ferryland, Newfoundland   [1]
  Based on the age (75 yrs.) of their eldest daughter, Ann (Condon), who died in Oct. 1882, it would appear that Robert's marriage was about 1806. Robert's religious affiliation was Church of England, however I suspect (but cannot prove) that his wife was Roman Catholic. My research of their children's spouses indicate that they were all Roman Catholic, hence none of Robert's grandchildren appear in the Church of England baptism records at Ferryland or elsewhere.
