[ganong] origins of SETTLEMENTS IN NEW BKUNSWICK S3 



ists came some other groups of new settlers n,ot properly Loyalists. 

 These incliided at least two disl)anded Scottish regiments (the 74th 

 Highlanders settled on the Digdeguash and St. Croix, and the 42nd 

 Highlanders on the Upper Nashwaak). Of a ditferent kind was the 

 Cape Ann Association, which was settled in SI. David, Charlotte; these 

 settlers were not Loyalists, but apparently came as immigrants to take 

 advantage of the supposed opportunities offered in this new and growing 

 province, and it is probably -beoause they were not Loyalists that these 

 settlers had to be contenit with lands back from navigable waters, the 

 only example of a settlement in this period so placed. 



The original Loyalist settlements of ISTew Brunswick, namely those 

 formed by the Loyalists immediately after their arrival on lands for 

 the most part especially assigned them for this purposie are approximately 

 shown on the accompanying map (Map No. 8), and were as follow^: 

 The Passamaquoddy settlements occupied most of the Parish of St. 

 Stephen, including the town of St. Stephen, Old Ridge, MiUtown, and 

 Upper Mills; the present Duffcnn; the shores of Oak Bay; Toicer Hill 

 and Lever Settlement, with other upland settlements in St. David,^ the 

 river shore of the present St. Croix Parish; all of St. Andrews Parish, 

 including the town of St. Andrews; the coast of Bocabec and Digdeguash 

 and the settlement on that river above its mouth, in St. Patrick; the 

 Magaguadavic Eiver to Second Falls, with Letite, the former town of 

 St. Georges at Letang, and some of the islands in St. George; a few 

 islands in West Isles; Beaver Harbour, with the former town of Belle- 

 view, Black's Harbour and Seehje's Cove in Pennfield; Lepreau Village 

 and vicinity at Lepreau; and Grand Manan in the vicinity of Grand 

 Harbour. Along the coast towards St. John, Dipper Harbour, Moose 

 Harbour, Harbour bg Chance. Musquash and Pisarinco were also settled 

 by Loyalists. Beyond the St. John, in the present Simonds, settlements 

 formed on Little Eiver, at Ped Head, Mispec, apparently at Gardners 

 Creek, Emerson s Creek, Tynemoiith Creek; and at Quaco in St. Martins. 

 Along the St. John the Loyalist settlements extended from its mouth 

 to above Woodstock, and to the heads of the navigable branches, excepting 

 only, of course, the sites of the earlier settlements of the English period. 

 They included the City of St. John and the 2'own of Carleton, with 

 the river settlements of Lancaster; the river settlements of Westfield; 

 the Kennebecasis and (to some extent) Hammond River settlements in 

 Bothesay, Hampton, Kingston, Norton, Sussex, with Sussex Village, and 

 Studholm; the Long Peach settlements in Greenwich and Kingston, the 

 Bellisle settlements in Kingston, Springfield and Kars; the river settle- 



^ The St. David settlements are here reckoned, like the 74th and 42nd Regi- 

 ments, among the Loyalists simply for convenience : note the preceding paragraph.
