[GAîfeNG] TLACE-NOMENCLATURE OF NEW BRUNSWICK 207 



Eestigouche, ai^peur to have been fixed by the military road surveys of 

 1843-44. The boundary Hne between Quebec and New Brunswick was 

 surveyed in 1855. All of these surveys originated new minor names 

 along- their routes and helped to fix others. 



To this period belong many settlement and other names, which follow 

 in their naming the analogy of the parishes ; such are : Hamvell, Gallo- 

 icay, Neio Jerusalem^ Victoria^ BaiUie, Tryon, Harvey^ Mechanics Settle- 

 ment ; Kedron, Erina, Tiarks, lakes ; Cape Joki imain, Baker Brook, Mount 

 Theobald. 



The minor names given by most of the surveyors were ordinary 

 enough, but there are occasional exceptions, as in the names given by 

 Deputy Mahood in Charlotte and vicinity, which are i:»leasing. Thus 

 Victoria, Adelaide, are names given by him in 183*7, of course for the 

 Dowager Queen and Queen Victoria, who ascended the throne in that 

 year. Rooskey and Coronary were for places in Ireland from near which 

 he came, and Ormond for the Irish Earl ; while Tomoowa, Peltoma, and 

 many not now on the maps, as Tricornia, etc., were given by him. 

 Another interesting set of names of this jDeriod is that of the Inglewood 

 Manor. In 1832 a grant of 32,000 acres on the Musquash Eiver was 

 made to Moses Perley, by whom it was named Inyleicood Manor, and the 

 various lakes in it, Robin Hood, B'riar Tuck, Sherwood, Little John, all 

 names taken from various novels of Scott's then attractina; c^reat atten- 

 tion. The usual statement that all are from Waverly is, of course, wrong. 

 Several other names of the same series on the survey maps, but not on the 

 general ones, Rosthene Mere, Levinge, Knockdrin, Belvidere, Augur, Eger- 

 ton, Rancliffe, have more or less of a Scotch or classical flavour. Loch 

 Alva seems not to be in Scott. .For a time the village at Musquash was 

 called Ivanhoe. This is the largest series of fanciful names we have in 

 New Brunswick, 



In 1832 the New Brunswick and Xova Scotia Land Company was 

 organized (incorporated 1834), and in 1835 obtained an immense grant 

 of land in the northeast part of York County. By the company many 

 settlers were brought out from Great Britain and placed on their tract, 

 and thus originated the settlements of Stanley, Haynesville, Wiliiamsbur(/, 

 New Zealand, Temperance Vale, Campbell, Maple Creek, Cross Creek, and 

 others in that region. The causes of the naming of these are mostly 

 evident enough. 



From 1850 down to the jjresent the nomenclature is easily traced. 

 In the parish names there is a great proportional increase in the number 

 of those expressing admiration for the leading men of England and 

 Canada, thus contrasting strongly with the preceding years and showing, 

 when causes of temporary irritation are removed, how deep the admi- 

 ]-ation for the Mother Country really is. Such are Clarendon, Derby, 

 Gladstone, P aimer ston, Aberdeen, Peel, Lome, Bright, Gardwell, -Hard- 

 Sec II., 1898, 14,
