THE HUXTER GENEALOGY HOMEPAGE

					The compilers of this genealogy hope it will be merely the forerunner of a bigger and better history for which this may serve as a guide. I do wish to thank most sincerely, all who so cheerfully co-operated in supplying the information gathered. They are Bruce Abbott, June Jones, Louise Fortin, Glyn Huxter Canada. Jim Huxter USA. Sylvia Creed-Castle and Barry Lomas from England and Wales on the Huxters from England, Australia and New Zealand. I have been told that the Huxters came from Luxembourg and settled in England around 1600. The first Huxter on record was John, born about 1580. His Son Thomas was christened on March 2, 1604 at Lincoln, England. Our family tree starts 1757-1761. There are many Huxters born before 1757 but we cannot connect them to Samuel b. 1757 or William b. 1761. We also cannot find the connection between Samuel and William.

Sawmilling was the lifeblood of Springdale from 1877
up to 1910. Although fishing hasn't been a large
industry in Springdale for many years there was a
period around 1913 in which it was an important
industry in town employing about 300 men.
Between 1942-60 pulpwood harvesting was
a large part of Springdale's heritage. Mining
or mineral exploration remains to this day one
of the large contributors to the industrial heritage
of the community. The opening of Whales Back
Mines in the mid 1960's was likely the largest
contributing factor to Springdale's growth although a
significant spin-off was felt from the operation of
Little Bay Mines.

The Huxters moved to Springdale in 1884.
This picture was taken 1950.
