184 ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



Germantown, — A. Former temporary farming- settlement, formed in 1765 or 

 1766, about the mouth of German Creek by Pennsylvania Germans, 

 tenants of the company which received the grant of Hopewell township 

 In 1765. After disputes with the proprietors the tenants appear to- 

 have obtained their lands by suits at law against the latter, but their 

 subsequent history is unknown. It is locally said they joined their 

 fellow-countrymen at Hillsborough, but this is doubtful. (Hist. Sites, 

 328, 335; important references in Canadian Archives, 1886, 488-492; 

 Maple Leaf, Albert Co. newspaper, August and September, 1886). 



The modern Germantown was settled about 1800, in common with 

 other parts of this region, by native settlers from Nova Scotia. 



Giants Glen, — T. N.B. and N.S. Land Company settlement formed about 

 1850 by immigrants from Great Britain. (Loc. inf.).

 1860 and 1861 under the Labour Act by some 30 families from Aberdeen,
