120 ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



Burnsville, — G. Modem name of the mill village formerly called Millville. 

 Burnt Church, — N. Important Indian (Micmac) village, with an Indian 

 reserve, established March 5, 1805 (with 2,058 acres). (Perley, Ind., 

 XCIX,). It is on the same site as the ancient Skinouboudichc. Now com- 

 monly called Church Point, and also La Mission. 



Here or near by was probably the fortified dwelling of Richard 

 Denys de Fronsac, and it was, perhaps, occupied by French more or less 

 continuously from that time down to the close of the Acadian period, 

 and it was probably the combined French-Indian church which was 

 burnt by the British in 1758, originating the name. 



The modern village of this name, locally called New Jersey, together 

 with the English speaking settlement at Church Point, were founded 

 about 1800 by expansion of the Scotch settlers of Miramichi. (Hist. 

 Sites, 232, 295; Plessls, 170). 



Burton, — S. Early township granted a company in 1765, but only slightly 

 settled by them. (Hist. Sites, 326, 333; Coll. N.B. Hist. Soc. I, 105). 

 Parish est. 1786 and made the shire town; settled in part by New 

 Englanders along the St. John, as noted in the reference above, chiefly 

 by Loyalists along the St. John and Oromocto, and by Loyalist expan- 

 sion to Geary. The interior settlements are mostly of immigrants as 

 recorded under their respective names. 



Butte a Roger, — W. Former temporary Acadian fortified post near Fort Beau- 

 séjour, abandoned in 1755. (Hist. Sites, 285). 



Butternut Ridge, — K. Early native settlement formed about 1810 by expan- 

 sion from New Canaan. With good lands it has prospered to the 

 present, expanding to give origin to other settlements in the vicinity. 

 (Full history in St. John Sun, July 27, 1892; loc. inf.; Johnston, N. A., 

 II, 113). 



Caie Settlement, — Kt. Recent native settlement, formed about 1873 under 

 the Free Grants Act by- expansion from neighbouring English settle- 

 ments. (Adams, 22). 



Cains River, — N. Settled at its mouth by native expansion about 1800 (C. R.) 

 up to Sabbies (Savoys) river in or after 1818, and above that by Irish 

 immigrants in or after 1825. (Loc. inf.) 



Caledonia, — A. Early native settlement, with, perhaps, some Scotch immi- 

 grants, formed about 1810 (?) by expansion from older neighbouring 

 settlements. (Loc. inf.). 



California, — Q, Early Scotch immigrant settlement, formed after 1820. (Loc. 

 inf.). 



California, — V. Formed after 1849 by settlers from the lumbering establish- 

 ment of Four Falh. (Loc. inf.). 



California Settlement, — Y. Said locally to have been settled by returned 

 California miners. 



Cambridge, — Q. Parish est. 1852; includes the pre-Loyalist Spryhampton, but 

 apparently its settlement is entirely Loyalist, commenced in 1784 and 

 later, along the St. John, Grand Lake and Washdemoak, with expansion 

 later to the interior. (C. L. R.; article on the White Family in the 

 St. John Sun. February, 1893).
