Jane had moved to Elliot's Cove, about 3 km from Snook's Harbour on the opposite side of Random Island, with her family in the 1860s. Her brother William Smith moved to [[Apsey Brook]], down the shore about 2 km from Snook's Harbour in the 1870s, such that the Random Island Smith Family by this time had established stake in two locations on the northern side of the island not far from the family base in Elliott's Cove.

Some years later, Jane and William’s youngest brothers Aaron and Charles started a brick-making business on the island's northern side near Souley's Brook, about 2 km around the shore from Snook’s Harbour<ref name=Foot03/>. The Loder family in Snook's Harbour was thus part of the extended Smith Family settlement on the western half of Random Island in the late 1800s<ref name=Foot10/> [also see [[Smith|Smith Family]]]. | ||
It is noteworthy that, over a century later after the collapse of the offshore "Northern Cod" stock in the late 1990s, scientists established that a sub-stock of cod was actually overwintering and spawning in Smith Sound<ref name=Foot11/>. This was in contrast to the bulk of the stock migrating 100s of kilometers offshore in winter to spawn over the continental slope. Thus, cod abundance was probably a factor, in addition to forest resources and farmable land, in the movement of families like the Bakers, Coopers, Loders and Smiths from "headlands" (like Ireland's Eye and Heart's Ease Beach<ref name=Foot12/>) to communities along the protected shores of the western parts of Random and Smith Sounds.
