Notes
General:
031006: Carter Family tree notes that she is his first cousin, daughter of uncle Nicholas. But Lillian Svendson's more detailed family tree of the Stabb's does not show her as a daughter of Nicholas so this may be a mistake. Needs verification

Notes
General:
Jean Carter Sterling has the Stabb Family tree [Harcourt Gardiner FEDCOM note]

031006: Spelling of Christian name is seen variously as Ewen and Ewan. I am going with Ewen for now because the sources that use it seem more credible. Where it is spelled Esau this is clearly a mistake on the part of the transcriber.

From Newfoundland GENWEB website:

In re: EWEN STABB DECEASED.

Ewen STABB St Johns 75 yrs Apr 6 1872 Son of Thomas Stabb; married Anne Carter Tessier, dau of Peter Tessier & Joan Carter.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

110813: His name is frequently seen misspelled on NGB transcriptions as Esau. I'm not sure if that is because it appeared that way in some church registers or if it is because his real name, Ewen, was unfamiliar to the transcriber and therefore misread.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

290816:
SDC Vol 1 Fol 50-54 William Goff to William Kydd 04-12-1827:

This bill of sale, found in the Southern District Court records at the Registry of Deeds and transcribed by me gives an inkling of where exactly Ewen Stabb lived on the northside of Ferryland when he was resident there. Essentially he was occupying a piece of property over toward what is known as the Barkhouse Meadow.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

040119:

The 1841 Census shows quite a few of their children were absent. This could have been because they were elsewhere or because they had died before then. There is no way of knowing. Those not shown include: the first Ann who is known to have died in infancy; Agnes; Sarah; William.

Ewen, his wife and all of their children are shown as not having been born in England but that is not true. He and his wife were both born in England. This error is corrected on the 1851 Census.

The 1851 Census finds the family moved to London from Lambeth and far fewer of the children are still at home but one daughter and her husband and children are living with them.

Frederick Albert STABB MD

DEATH: DEATH OF A BELOVED PHYSICIAN THE PASSING OF DR. STABB

Dr. STABB was born on July 13th, 1866, and was the only son of the late Dr. STABB, the founder, and first superintendent of the Lunatic Asylum. He sprung from a family that has long been identified with the professional, commercial, and social history of Newfoundland. The principals of the old firms of Ewen STABB, and Nicholas STABB & Sons, were his immediate relatives, whilst Henry J. STABB, Esq., of the present H.J. STABB & Co., is his cousin. Two sisters survive him, Mrs. A. S. RENDELL and Mrs. Walter B. WEST. As a pupil at Bishop Field College, andsubsequently at Lennoxville, P. Q., and in his studies in the Old Country, Dr. STABB distinguished himself. When about 18 years ago, he commenced the practice of his profession in his native town, he was warmly welcomed, and soon became the physician beloved. For several years he was associated with his warm friend, Dr. RENDELL, as a visiting physician to the General Hospital. His was a disposition of exceptional sweetness. Retiring and modest, he was in the truest sense of the word,a gentleman. Till comparatively recently, he had been prominent in athletic circles, winning laurels as a cricketer and football player; whilst as coxswain of the City Boat Club, his form was familiar to the thousands, who annually throng the banks of the Quidi Vidi. His nature was of the kindliest. It may safely be said, that not one who knows him, can find an unkind word to say of him; but what is more rare may besaid with equal certainty, that Dr. STABB has never been known to sayan unkind word of another. He was often spoken of as a "polished" gentleman, but the term was in a sense a misnomer, for his gentle nature bore the stamp of loyalty and sincerity, and of courtesy, charity, andChristian manliness. He is gone, but "The beauty of his better self lives on." The death of Dr. STABB leaves a vacancy in the life of our city as well as in the hearts of his relatives and friends. Men such ashe are a benison to the place of their residence, and a source of justifiable pride to the land of their birth. To his immediate friends, the hearts of the people will go out in sympathy, whilst all who knew the late Dr. STABB will recognize that his passing is an irreparable loss. His kindly smile and courteous greeting will be sorely missed, andmany years will elapse ere his memory fades. What though he has passed to a wider sphere, into whose rest or activities an unknowing worldcannot penetrate.
