Hi Alex,
Thanks for sharing your interest in the Newcomb/e families. Have you been
able to connect the two Newcomb families at all. I'd be interested to know
if your friend that descends from Ann Marie Newcomb has any further Newcomb
family information she'd like to share.

Subject: [nscumber] Robert Dickson Cutten, born Pugwash , drowned Partridge
Island
Reading the article on the drowning of 4 persons from the "Zephyr" at
Partridge Island on 4 Jun 1866, it indicated Capt. Newcombe may possibly
have left a wife and child behind.
" Mr. Newcomb, we believe, has left a wife, and one child to mourn their sad
loss". (Source: Halifax Citizen, Tuesday, June 12, 1866)

Doing a bit of digging, in fact, it was Robert Dickson Cutten who left a
wife and one month old daughter behind.
Cumberland Birth Index:
30 May 1866 20 300 MILL VILLAGE YARMOUTH CUTTEN MARY OLIVIA ROBERT TABITHA
JAN MCKENZIE 6 9 1865 605
This birth indicates Robert m/1 Tabitha McKenzie on 6 Sep 1865 at Yarmouth.
There's a Digby Marriage on the NSARM website where the widow, Tabitha
(McKenzie) Cutten, born Freeport, m/2 George Prime, a fisherman also from
Freeport, on 24 Mar 1870, Baptist, Freeport, Digby County.
Also a 6 Sep 1865 Yarmouth Marriage for Robert and Tabitha indicating Robert
was a mariner and living Parrsboro; born Pugwash; s/o Andrew (?) Cutten.
