earlier settlers, who often induced their former fellow townsmen to 

 join them. Richihiido and Belledune were largely settled in this way. 



The distinct settlements founded in this period by immigrants 

 from Great Britain and Ireland were as follows. I have found none 

 of date certainly prior to 1819, although it is possible that some of 

 the group near Xew Jerusalem in Petersville may be earlier, but in 

 that year and the next (1819-1820) were formed the Welsh Cardigan, 

 the English English. Settlement, and Murray's Corners; the Scotch 

 Uast Scoich Settlement, Caverliill and Scoteli Lalce; the Irish Tay, 

 New Bandon and Belledtine, and these appear to be the pioneer settle- 

 ments of this period. Others, however, followed rapidly, and during 

 the decade from 1820 to 1830 the following were formed : — the Scotch 

 Mascareeu and Letang; Gaspereau (Queen's), California (Queen's), 

 West Scotch Settlement, New Scotland, MacDougalls and its extension 

 Scotch Settlement, Blade Hiver, (near Buctouche), Neiu Galloivay, 

 Napan and Douglastoiun; the Irish Baillie, Newhurg, Magundy Ridge, 

 Blaney Bidge, Pohioh Settlement, Lal-e George, these latter four from 

 north of Ireland,^ Birdton, Kingsley, Salmon Greek, North Fork. New 

 Jerusalem, Cootes Hill, Henderson, Irish Settlement, Waterloo, Shan- 

 non. Chambers Settlement, New Ireland, Irishtown (Westmorland), 

 Second Westcock, Botsford Portage, Bartihog, Nelson, Barnahy River, 

 Cains River, Pokemouche, and Shannonvale. In this decade also, a 

 small group of French from France and Jersey settled at Grande 

 Plaine, Miscou. Groups of immigrants settled also with the native 

 settlers in Richmond at Scotch Corner and Irish Selth'incnt. in Howard 

 Settlement, and in New Maryland (Scotch). 



During the following decade, 1830 to 1840, there were formed 

 the important settlements of the New Brunswick and Xova Scotia Land 

 Company, later considered, the important English and Scotch Harvey, 

 the Scotch Wilson's Point (on IMiscou), Rose 11 HI and Diinlop, and 

 most of the Scotch settlements on Bay Chaleur later noticed; the Irish 

 Clarence Hill. Sniitli field and Newmarket (Xorlh of Ireland), Lair- 

 field. Hiberula. lU'd Rank, probably Jordan Mi.unlaln and Whites 

 Mountain, Emigrant Settlement (Westmorland), Emigrani Settlement 

 (St. John), Upper Bay da Vin. 



In the next decade, 18^0 to LSoO, fewer new sottbMuentsi were 

 formed, Init Ihey included the Scotch and Irish I'ryoii, Allandale and 

 Kilmarnock; the Scotch Roxhurgli; the Irish Anderson. Settlement, 

 Cork (Teetotal Settlement), Acton, Carlow, Flume Ridge, Roland, 



' It would perhaps be more logical to divide the Irish settlements into two 

 groups, the Protestant north of Ireland settlers, and the Koman Catholic south of 

 Ireland settlers, but I have not the facts for doing this in all cases.
