 Soon thereafter the family name Baker disappeared from Southport, and was replaced by an influx of settlers from the Grates Cove area, on the opposite side of Trinity Bay.The first permanent settlers of Southport were James Dean (1802–1865) of Old Perlican, James Lambert, and Joseph Martin of Grates Cove.These families may have begun winter woods work in Southwest Arm in the 1830s and moved to Southport in the 1840s and 1850s.
