» /. Expansion of the settlements of the English period. In the 

 meantime the earlier or prc-loyalist (English Period) settlements were 

 growing vigorously and. expanding rapidly. In the Passamaqaoddy 

 and St. John districts the older settlers and the Loyalisits mingled 

 as one people and expanded together. Thus the New Englanders of 

 Maugcrvillc went with the Loj'alists up the St. John to ("arleton 

 County. The descendants of the settlers of Sackville expanded to 

 Point Midjic, and, with those of Westmorland, extended beyond Baie 

 Yerte and along the coast thence to Cape Tormentine and Cape Jouri- 

 main (before 1810), and even in some numbers to Shediac (Map No. 9) 

 and beyond. In conjunction with others from Cumberland County, 

 Nova Scotia, they helped to settle Buctouche, possibly Cocagne, prob- 

 ably Fiichihucto and Kouchibouguac, with Hardwicke and Escuminac 

 near Bay du Yin. In another direction they expanded to Dorchester and 

 to II ope well, and, mingling with the new settlers from Hillsborough 

 and ]\l()iicton, extended up the Petitcodiac to Coverdale and Salisbury, 

 while those of Hillsborough expanded across the Petitcodiac to form 

 Dover. The new settlers of Moncton and Hillsborough extended up 

 the Petitcodiac to Anagance, and up the lower courses of Turtle Creek, 

 Coverdale and Follet Rivers. The settlers of Moncton early extended 

 to the back lands, founding Lutz Mountain, Steeves Mountain and 

 (later) Indian Mountain, while those of Hillsborough founded Surry 

 and ]Y(']linglon, and other small upland settlements in that parish, 

 either in this period or early in the next. A special and important 

 phase of expansion of settlements of the English jwriod consists in 

 the early movement, from about 1790 to 1810, of settlers from Horton, 

 Cornwallis, and elsewhere in Nova Scotia, to Harvey, part of llopciveJl, 

 including Albert, Riverside, Hopewell Hill and Cape, and Alma, which 

 immigration originaterl in, large part the settlement of the older 

 parts of these parishes, including the Shepody River, Germantown, 

 New Horion, and the coast from Cap Enrage through Little Rocher 

 and Walerside to Alma Village. In the meantime the ^Firamichi set- 

 tlements, a combination of English period and Loyalist with later 

 immigrants, were extending to Burnt Clturch. Tahusiniac and Tra- 

 cadie, ami even to Miscou Harbour as already noted. 



g. Acadian readjustment. In parts of New Brunswick, at the 

 head of the Bay of Fundy and ou the North Shore, the Acadians had 

 received grants of their lands from the Government of Nova Scotia, 

 and were not, of course, subsequently disturbed in their possessions.
