• 



Waterborough, — Q. Parish est. 1786. Settled first along Grand Lake by

 their descendants, with immigrants at Marr Settlement. (C. L. R.; 

 loc. inf.). 



Waterford, — K. Parish est. 1874. Settled first along Trout Creek by expan- 

 sion of the Loyalist settlements of the Kennebecasis, and in its southern 

 part by later immigrants, mostly Irish, as noted under the respective 

 settlements. (C. L. R.; loc. inf.).

I 



Waterside, — A. Settled about 1805, in common with much of Harvey, by 



natives of Nova Scotia. (Loc. inf.). 



Waterviile, — T. Native settlement, formed about 1865 by expansion from 

 neighbouring parts of the province. (Loc. inf.). 



Watson Settlement, — Cn. Formed about 1828 or 1829 by immigrants from the 

 north of Ireland. (Loc. inf.). 



Watt Junction, — C. Settled first about 1853-54 by expansion from the older 

 settlements in Charlotte; a junction since 1866. (Loc. inf.). 



Weldford, — Kt, Parish est. 1835. Settled chiefly by English-speaking set- 

 tlers, descendants of Loyalists and of Irish and Scotch immigrants, 

 an expansion from the lower Richibucto. (C. L. R.; loc. inf.). 



Wellington, — Kt. Parish est. 1814. Settled first at Buctouche in 1785 by Aca- 

 dians, and later by English settlers, apparently an expansion from 

 Cumberland and "Westmorland, on Little River; the coast and backlands 

 are mostly Acadian expansion, except at Black River, where there is a 

 Scotch settlement. 



Welsford, — J. Settled apparently first by expansion of the Loyalist settle- 

 ments of the St. John, with probably some later immigrants. 



Welsh Pool, — C. Settled first by David Owen in 1787; its situation made it 

 the principal place on Campoiello and has grown steadily, attracting 

 settlers from various parts. (Loc. inf.). 



West Campbell, — Y. One of the tracts laid out for settlement in 1856, but 

 not settled. 



Westcock, — ^W. At first a small Acadian village (Wescak, Ouescak), founded 

 probably soon after 1700 by expansion from Beauséjour, and destroyed 

 by the British in 1755. Its permanent settlement began with an expan- 

 sion from Sackville, probably about 1770, to which were added some 

 Loyalist accessions in 1784. (Hist. Sites, 280; loc. inf.). 



Westfield, — K. Parish est. 1786. Includes the early French Emenenic, the 

 later Boishébert, JVe7-epis, and Glasiers Manor. Its modern settlement, 

 however, actually began with the settlement of Loyalists along the 

 St. John and Kennebecasis in 1784 and later, while their expansion has 

 settled the backlands. (C. L. R.). 



West Isles, — C. Parish est. 1786. Settled first at Indian Island by New Eng- 

 landers, and on Deer Island by various pre-Loyalist settlers. Several 

 of the smaller islands were granted Loyalists, while others have been 

 taken up by other settlers from various sources. (Various articles
