 and apparently settled sparsely and temporarily, by expansion from 

 St. John under the auspices of Rev. Mr. Ferrie, Free Baptist clergyman. 

 (Loc. inf.). 



Filomaro Settlement, — K. Properly Philmonro. Apparently an Irish immi- 

 grant settlement of 1830 or later. (Loc. inf.).

 the lower St. John about 1832. (Raymond, Carleton County, 75).

Fort Folly,— W. Small Indian (Micmac) reserve (of 62y2 acres), purchased 

 for the Indians August 15, 1840, to replace a former settlement near 

 Dorchester; a small permanent village. (Perley, Ind., CV). 



Four Falls, — V. Mill village, formed prior to 1849, attracting settlers from 

 diverse sources; but the venture proving a failure, these settlers took 

 up lands near the American boundary to the northward. (Loc. inf.). 



Fourche a Crapaud, — A. Former small Acadian settlement at the Forks of 

 Turtle Creek, probably formed by refugee Acadians above reach of 

 the English ships after the destruction of their villages in 1758. (Hist.

Fox Creek, — W. Also Ruisseau des Renards. Important Acadian settlement 

 founded, on the repatriation in 1767 or 1768, on the site of the pre- 

 expulsion settlement (see Petitcodiac). These settlers— returned from St. 

 Pierre and Miquelon, received grants about 1806. This settlement, 

 with Memramcook and possibly Belliveau, are the only ones in all 

 Acadia now occupied by Acadians on lands possessed by them before 

 the expulsion. (History by Gaudet, in Le Moniteur Acadien, December 

 3, 1897).
