Interesting snapshot of how many contractor foremen were employed by the Anglo-Newfoundland Development Company in 1947. This was one of the peak years in terms of the number of men employed in logging in Newfoundland. In all likelihood each one of these names represents at least one set of camps.
There area number of names here that would still be operating 15 and even 20 years later, a few were gone altogether and some who were replaced by their sons, as is the case with Eli Peyton, father of Mac Peyton.
The first table consists of the names of the AND Company contractors who were part of the first contractors association in 1947.

In 1963 operations out of Terra Nova were curtailed and some of the contractor foremen were moved to other divisions. Operations continued out of Gambo for that area of the former division. In 1965 all operations were folded into two divisions: Millertown and Bishop’s Falls-with Millertown taking in Millertown Division, some of Badger Division and Bishop’s Falls taking in most of Badger Division, Bishop’s Falls Division and all points east including operations in Gambo and Gander Lake.
