Bright, — Y. Parish est. 1869; includes two sets of settlements. (1) Loyalist 

 disbanded regiments, The Royal Guides and Pioneers and other Loyal- 

 ists on the lower Keswick and St. John, settled 1784 and later, (2) some 

 N.B. and N.S. Land Company native expansion settlements on the 

 upper Keswick and westward, considered under their respective names.

Brighton, — Cn. Parish est. 1830; settled along the St. John, mostly between 

 1800 and 1812, almost entirely by expansion of native settlers from 

 the lower St. John who have expanded up the Bccn<juimcc and to the 

 interior after 1820 and to Cloverdale recently. 



Brockway, — Y. Early American immigrant lumbering and farnning settle- 

 ment, formed in 1818 or soon after, near the fine intervales of the 

 Magaguadavic by Reuben and Rufus Brockway with others from New 

 Hampshire The road from Fredericton to St. Andrews crossing the 

 Magaguadavic here was built later, about 1835. (C. R. ; loc. inf.; Gesner, 

 163). 



Brothers, — J. Indian (Maliseet) reserve of two islands, of 10 acres, occupied 

 as a summer camping ground, established September 19, 1838. (Perley, 

 Ind., CXXVII). 



Brown's Ridge, — S. Recent native settlement, formed under the Free Grants 

 Act about 1879, by expansion from older settlements. (Loc. inf.). 



Brunswick, — Q. Parish est. 1816; settled first in 1792 along the Canaan 

 River, at New Canaan, by expansion of the Loyalists of the St. John, 

 and later, after 1800 (grants 1809), by native expansion thence to 

 Johnston and in the interior. A Labor Act tract laid out at Rider's 

 Brook about 1859 was never settled. (C. L. R.). 



Buber, — Cn. Now tSumnierfield. 



Buctouche, — Kt. Indian reserve, established November 1, 1810, but reduced 

 in size in 1823 by throwing open of a part for settlement. Has a per- 

 manent settlement (Perley, Ind. CXIII). 



Temporary Acadian refugee settlement of 1760, doubtless at the 

 mouth of Black River, where old traces of settlement formerly existed. 

 Its permanent settlement began in 1786 by the arrival of five Aca- 

 dian families from Memramcook, who settled around the mouths of 

 Buctouche, Black and Little rivers, and have extended up the river 

 and to the neighbouring back lands. Later, probably after 1800. 

 English settlers, probably an expansion from Cumberland, settled on 

 the south side of the Harbour and on Little River, and they were 

 joined by some Irish immigrants, originating the English-speaking 

 settlement of those places. In 1822-23 a large Indian reserve on the 

 south side of the river was thrown open to settlement, and was taken 

 up mostly by Acadians. The village of Buctouche is of later date and 

 has grown up as a distributing centre since the completion of the B. & 

 M. railroad. (History by Gaudet in Le Moniteur Acadien, December 24, 

 1889 and later, and February 28. March 4. 1890; Plessis, 180; Cooney. 

 153; Johnston, N. A., II, 62; Winslow Papers, 499).
