Phillip Francis of Yewstock Hill, Hinton Saint Mary recruited in his surrounding parishes for the Newfoundland merchants Newman & Hunt. He also served the same capacity for the Hudsons Bay Co. One such young man Robert Hunt born 1828 ended up on Vancouver Island married a native girl and left a very large family there. I had a look at Hunt's family tree charts in the Port Hardy Museum a few years ago.
