Kentville, — Y. Small settlement, formed about 1850, by Robert Kent and 

 other settlers from Nova Scotia. (Loc. inf.) 



Kilmaquac, — Y. Former small Indian (Passamaquoddy) village, doubtless 

 pre-historic, beside a fishing-fall and eel-pool on the site of St. Croix 

 village. Its name appears on maps as late as 1897 (in Stanford's Com- 

 pendium, Canada). (Hist. Sites, 222). 



Kilmarnock, — Cn. Immigrant settlement, first formed about 1834 by two 

 Irish settlers, and in 1843 by a Scotch settler, joined later by others. 

 (Loc. inf.), 



Kincardine, — V. Name used in 1872 to cover the two successful settlements 

 now called Kintore and Stonehaven, and recently applied to a post 

 office in an extension of the latter. 



Kingsciear, — Y. Parish est. 1786; settled along the St. John by some Aca- 

 dians at French Village, and Indians at Indian Tillage, but mostly by 

 Loyalists of the disbanded regiment, the New Jersey Volunteers, 2nd 

 Battalion, The interior settlements are native expansion and later immi- 

 grant, as noted under their respective names. (History of this regiment, 

 by Raymond, in Coll. N.B. Hist. Soc, II, 207; location in Hist. Sites, 

 341, and Map 46). 



Kingston, — Kt. See Rexton. 



Kingston, — K. Loyalist township, est. 17S3 and made a parish in 1786. Set- 

 tled along its water front by Loyalists in 1783 and later, and in the 

 interior by expansion of their descendants. 



Kingston village was settled in 1783 by Loyalists chiefly from Con- 

 necticut (its history is given by Raymond in his "Kingston and the 

 Loyalist of 1783," St. John, 1889). It was the shire town until 1871. 



Kinsale, — G. Irish immigrant farming settlement, formed about 1841. (C.

Kintore, — V. Important recent Scotch immigrant settlement, formed in 1872 

 under the Free Grants Act and settled in 1873 by a colony from Kintore, 

 in Kincardineshire, at the same time with Stonehaven. Some 712 

 immigrants came to these two settlements in 1873 and others later. 

 (History is given fully in Stevenson's Reports, 1872-73; History of St. 

 Andrew's Society, St. John, 1903, 105; Adams, 28).
