Nicholas Guy
Nicholas Guy (fl. 1612 – 1631) was one of the first settlers at John Guy's Cuper's Cove, Conception Bay, Newfoundland, Canada and the father of the first English child born in Newfoundland and subsequently all of the country of Canada.
Nicholas Guy was most likely born in England. Guy was a member of the party of first settlers to journey to Newfoundland for colonization. In the winter of 1612 - 1613 62 people were living there. During the winter eight deaths were recorded and one birth, a boy born to Nicholas Guy and his wife on 27 March 1613. Sometime before 1630 Guy had moved to Carbonear to fish and farm, at that time he had written to Sir Percival Willoughby and became his agent in the development of Willoughby's land.
Although unproven, it is likely Guy was a close relative of John Guy, the first Governor of Newfoundland.
