Thomas Nash (Newfoundland)
Thomas Nash (1730 in Callan, County Kilkenny, Ireland – 1810 in Branch, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada ) was an Irish Catholic fisherman who founded Branch, Newfoundland and Labrador .〔http://www.searchdictionaries.com/?q=thomas+nash〕
== Settling in Calvert ==
Nash immigrated from Ireland to Calvert, Newfoundland and Labrador, formerly known as Capelin Bay, around 1765.〔http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~calvertfamilies/history.htm〕 He was a planter and lived in an area of Calvert known as the Point and referred to as "Nashes Plantation". Local lore says that Thomas and his sons built a boat over the winter of 1765. Wintering over was not permitted in Newfoundland at that time however when discovered by the fishing admiral the following spring, instead of being punished, Thomas was given a grant of land for the entire shoreline of Calvert. Having sons of an age to assist in building a boat in 1765 would mean that Thomas must have been at least 35 years of age. This is consistent with the letters of Archbishop O'Donel who in 1789 refers to Thomas as an "old planter". Using age 55 to define "old", which is conservative by any standards, would place Thomas's birth year around 1734. It is more likely however that Thomas was closer to 60 in 1789 and therefore born around 1730.
Father Patrick Power, a Roman Catholic priest and Thomas's cousin, fell into an argument with Bishop James Louis O'Donel, . Power supposedly started a religious uprising in a neighboring town. After being accused of the riot, O'Donel did not allow Father Power to continue his practices as a priest.〔 This incident made Thomas and his family relocate to what would become Branch, Newfoundland and Labrador.〔http://www.k12.nf.ca/fatima/cultural.htm〕
