124 ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



Choufour, — Q. Former small Acadian village, just below Gagetown, destroyed 

 by Monckton in 1758. (Hist. Sites, 271). 



Church Point, — N. Present name for the Indian village and adjoining Eng- 

 lish speaking settlement formerly called Burnt Church. 



Clair, — M. Parish est. 1900. Settled originally along the St. John by native 

 settlers, with some immigrants and some Americans joined by many 

 Acadians, and on the backlands by Acadians, an expansion from the 

 settlements lower on the St. John, as noted under the respective set- 

 tlements. 



Clarence Hill, — C. Immigrant settlement, Scotch and Irish, formed after 1831. 

 (Loc. inf.). 



Clarendon, — C. Parish est. 1869. An original Clarendon tract laid out for 

 settlement in 1856 in Charlotte and Queens was never taken up, but 

 the present Clarendon settlement, laid out in 1860, has been settled 

 by expansion from the neighbouring Irish settlemants on the Nerepis, 

 and there are a few settlers in Ferrieiank. (Loc. inf.). 



Clearwater, — G. Tract laid out in 1868 for settlement, but never occupied. 



Cloverdale, — Y and Cn. Recent native settlement, formed in 1878 under the 

 Free Grants Act, and settling by expansion from the older settlements. 

 (Adams, 25). 



Coates Hill, — Q. See Headline. 



Cocagne, — Kt. Former small Acadian settlement, apparently formed in 1755 

 by refugees from the expulsion at Riiis.tcau deft Malcoiitevf.t (opposite 

 Cocagne Island), and at Bclair, a few miles up the river. Its modern 

 settlement begins in 1767, when 24 repatriated Acadian families (from 

 St. Pierre and Miquelon, via Isle St. .lean) were assigned lands on 

 the lower river and harbour, and thence to Shediac, granted them in 1772 

 (the first lands granted to any Acadians in the present New Brunswick) 

 making it the oldest settlement in Kent. Later, between 1803 and 1812, 

 several English speaking families, an expansion from Shediac, Sackville 

 and Cumberland, settled above the Acadians on the river, originating 

 the English settlement of that region which, however, is now being 

 replaced by Acadians. (Gaudet, Le Moniteur Acadien, December 23, 27, 

 1887; Plessis, 183; Cooney, 154; Johnston, II, 62; Loc. inf.; Winslow 

 Papers, 498). 



Cohoon, — W. Recent Acadian settlement, an expansion apparently from 

 Shediac. (Loc. inf.). 



Colborne, — R. Parish est. 1839. Settled along Bay Chaleur, mostly by Scot- 

 tish immigrants from the Island of Arran, subsequent to 1830, inter- 

 mingled with a few Acadians from the Eel River settlement at the 

 west and with an earlier settlement at Neip Mills. Descendants of these 

 settlers have extended somewhat to the backlands, on the modern Free 

 Grant settlements, considered under their respective names. (Cooney, 

 204). 



Coldbrook, — R. See Colebrooke.
