I'm looking for information on Matthew KING and Phoebe BROWN who married in Fogo, Newfoundland (April 29, 1870). I know Phoebe was born in Joe Batt's Arm in 1853 but have no info on her parents or siblings. As for Mathew, I know nothin about his date or place of birth. They had children Walter, Mary, Emily and John. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks.

It appears the Matthew king & Phoebe Brown you are interested in are my Great Great Grand parents. I have some information on their offspring, but I know nothing of their parents, just that as far as I know Matthew jumped ship and swam ashore.
If you are still interested, I could provide you with some of the information that I have.

Matthew King is my Great Great Grandfather. I do have some information on him as well as a couple of photographs. I would like it if you could provide me with any information you may have. I could send you any info I have as well as copies of my pictures if you would like them. One of the pictures I have shows Matthew sitting down holding his grand son Roy Small, the other picture is of Matthew & Phoebe standing outside.

I was just browsing and saw your post. My great-grandmother was Selina King (married to Frederick Martin), a daughter of Matthew King and Phoebe Brown. I have made a couple trips to NFLD but wasn't able to find out much and I haven't done any active research in a long time. I did track down a lovely elderly lady in Lewisporte (I don't have my notes handy and can't recall her name). She showed me a picture of Matthew and told me that Phoebe had been a midwife. I have heard rumours about Matthew being Portuguese and about his having been adopted by the Kings. Do you have any more info or digital photos?
