~ NOTES ~
1 the Boutilier aka Boutellier originated in the Principality of Mömpelgard (Montbeliard). Much later the name was sometimes anglicised as Butler. The name translated from french means "bottler" (perhaps bottle-maker?).
2 John Mingo - Mingo is the english for Algonquin Mingwe which means "Iroquois". John Mingo aka John [Henry] Hendrick / Kendrick Mohawk (Kanienkehaka) was born ca 1728 in the Mohawk Valley (Kanienke), he died ca 1792-3 possibly at St Margarets Bay. It seems likely he's listed as a "Foreign Protestant" because his father was a German Palatine trader who spoke the "Dutch" i.e. Deutsch (German) language, and he was perhaps also baptised by the Dutch (perhaps he was one of the Mohawks who converted to Christianity).
Mingo, from the Algonquin word Mingwe meaning "Iroquois" should not be confused with Minga, from "Menegau" (Lunenberg NS) which is from German Maingau (Mainz) and was anglicised as Mentz, Mainz, Mintz, and Minga.
3 Henry Lewis b. ca 1758-1760 m. 16 Oct 1788 Catherine Elizabeth Boutilier / Boutellier.
NB: we haven't yet seen it documented that he is listed as a Loyalist as some would have it (later note, now we have found documentation). If he was, and was born in Virginia, he probably was a Free Person of Colour descendant of a Free African, see Black Loyalist: Cornwallis and the siege of Yorktown. Otherwise he may be a returning Acadian: Lewis is the anglicisation of Louis, Henry of Henri, and Henry Philip Lewis (as some have his name, although it is undocumented that he had a middle name Philip) had the names of three Kings of France, such names were often taken by L'nuk (Mi'kmaq) or given at their baptism. More about Henry Lewis of Virginia
4 George Mollier aka George Molley / Morley / [de Morlaix?] family goes back to (pre-colonial French and British) and it may be that Basque or Breton fisherfolk intermarried with Indigenous and lived at Ktaqamkuk (newcomer's "Newfoundland") +/- 100 years before the French "discovery". This George is probably the George Morley IV (1760-1804) who married Mary Kendrick (1769-1838), the daughter of John Mingo aka John Hendrick / Henry / Kendrick.
