Transcriber Notes:
1 Presumably the same Nicholy or Nicholas Jeddore [also Ledore] as listed in the Burin and Fortune RC parish registers. All of the names as listed in the WKA for this year appear to pertain to recognized and noted NL Mi'kmaw hunters, as cited in various historical sources and parish registers.
