Notes on George Cheater: He is listed in the 1835 Voter’s List for Chamberlains, Newfoundland. He is the first Cheater that I could find in Chamberlains, Newfoundland. He is mentioned in an 1862 Newspaper report regarding a fence.
He is buried in the Topsail Anglican Cemetery of St. John the Evangelist Church. Died December 1874, age 84.
Notes on Elizabeth Chaytor (nee Williams): Lived to be 98 years old. She is buried with her husband George in the Topsail Anglican Cemetery. She died Dec 03, 1900. It is possible that Elizabeth was baptised in the Anglican Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in St. John’s in 1803. I will check into it.
Notes on William Williams: He was one of the first settlers in Chamberlains (1803). He later moved to Manuels. In the 1835 Voters list for these areas, he is listed as a resident of Manuels, along with his son William Williams jr.
