 six families from Roxborough and Dumfries; it has grown steadily 

 and expanded to the present. (Loc. inf.). 



Scotch Ridge, — C. Early Scotch immigrant settlement, founded in 1803 by 

 a corps of disbanded Highlanders, the Reay Fencibles, from Sutherland- 

 shire. It has expanded to Basstcood Ridge, Pomeroy Ridge, and Oak Hill; 

 it is notable as being the earliest distinct immigrant settlement formed 

 in New Brunswick away from navigable waters. (History by one of 

 their descendants in St. Croix Courier, September, 1894; Stevens, Char- 

 lotte County, 16; loc. inf.; in Journals of the House of Assembly, 1805, 

 it is said, " £134. 13s. ll%d. has been appropriated to assist sundry emi- 

 grant Scotch families, in number 116, who have arrived in the County 

 of Charlotte and expect allotments of land in that county"). 



Scotch Settlement, — Kt. An early extension of MacdougaU.

 before 1820 on the old Fredericton-St. John road by families from 

 Perthshire. (Loc. inf.; C. R.).

Scotchtown, — Q. Loyalist farming settlement, formed in 1785 by sundry 

 Loyalists, a number of whom were of Scotch descent. (Loc. inf.).

 formed about 1825. (Loc. inf.).

 Seely. (C. L. R.). 



Semiwagan Ridge, — N. Irish immigrant settlement, formed about 1832, appa- 

 rently by expansion from Barnaby River. (C. L. R.). 



Shannon Settlement, — Q. Irish immigrant settlement, formed about 1829 

 by Shannon and other settlers ^rom the north of Ireland. (Loc. inf.; 

 Ward, 23).

 (Loc. inf.; Johnston, N. A. I, 413). 



Shediac, — W and Kt. Small Indian (Micmac) reserve, not now occupied. 



Also an early " Indian Fort " on the island in the harbour. (Hist. 

 Sites, 292). 



Former Acadian emigrant and refugee settlement, formed in 1750 

 and increased at the expulsion in 1755, probably at Shediac Cape 

 and vicinity; the settlers were doubtless attracted here by the presence 

 of the French fort erected north of the Shediac river in 1749; appa- 

 rently temporarily abandoned after 1755. The permanent settlement 

 began about 1767, when lands were assigned to them from Shediac 

 Cape to Cocagne, including Grandigue, and their descendants have pros- 

 pered and spread. The English settlement of the west side of the 

 Harbour was commenced in 1785 by William Hanington, from London, 

 who bought the lands here earlier granted to Colonel Joseph Williams,
