Maces Bay, — C. First settled soon after 1784 by 5 families from the Pennfield 

 settlers at Beaver Harbour, — apparently joined later by native settlers 

 from various sources. (Loc. inf.). 



Madawaska, — M. Indian (Maliseet) village, doubtless pre-historic; in 1787 

 it had 60 families and was the principal village and council-place of the 

 St. John River Indians. Now of little importance and included in the

The comprehensive name for the Acadian and Canadian settlements 

 formed along the river St. John below the Madawaska, on the line of 

 communication between New Brunswick and Quebec, in 1783 and follow- 

 ing years, formed by settlers in part from Quebec and in part from the 

 lower St. John and Kennebecasis. These settlements have prospered 

 and expanded greatly, now forming most of the population and all the 

 principal settlements of Madawaska county. The parish was established 

 1833, and a part of these settlements were transferred to the UniLi-'CI 

 States by the Ashburton Treaty in 1842. (History by J. G. D Dean, in
