[ganong] PLACE-NOMENCLATURE OF NEW BRUNSWICK 223 



formerly called by the rivermen " The Buinfrau." Pr. loc. Bum-frow (as in 

 now). 



Buonaparte Lake. — On a grant or plan of 1835. 



Burnt Church.— Doubtless from the burning of the Indian church there by the 

 British when they were destroying the French settlements in 1758. Cooney 

 gives a legend to explain it, with the date 1759, but he has probably con- 

 founded it with another story (see R. du Cache). On Lockwood, 1826. In 

 Micmac as given by Rand, Eskinwobudich = a lookout, or Es-kun-oo-oh'-a-dich, 

 as I have it. Skinnobtmdiche in St. Valier, 1688. On the survey map, 

 1755, the point is Pte. de Village. 



Burpees Brook.— (Burton in Sunbury). No doubt for Edward Burpee, pre- 

 loyalist settler. (N.B. Hist. Coll. I., p. 107). 



Burton.— T. 1 765, P. 1786. No doubt in honour of Brigadier-General Ralph Burton, 

 friend and contemporary of Generals Gage and Haldimand. 



Buttermilk Brook.— Descriptive of its colour when full where it falls into the 

 St. John. In Maliseet, MHox-sU-ee-ho-ok'-sis = white like milk brook. 



Cache, Rivière du.— Origin uncertain. On d'Anville, 1755, as Vieux Caicrd, and 

 on the survey map of the same year as Amion (?) Caichi, and the latter 

 locates it at Grand Dune Brook. Jeffreys, 1757, has Old Caichi, followed 

 by others. The Caichi is perhaps Caiche, = a boat (Quebec Docs. I., 429), 

 in which case tlie name may be connected with Rivière des Seize Bretons 

 (which see), and botli may be connected with an incident related by 

 Cooney (p. 35), in which it is said that six sailors from an English ship, who 

 were sent ashore for water wandered away from the boat and were slain by 

 the Indians, in reprisal for which the Indian church was burnt, originating 

 the name "Burnt Church." Cooney places the incident in 1759, which is 

 pretty certainly an error, and it may be that the entire incident occurred 

 before. 1755, thus originating these names R du Cache and R. des Seize 

 Bretons (Britons (?) ), especially the latter. This is pure theory, and R. du 

 Cache especially may have originated very differently. The local tradition 

 derives it from its supposed use as a hiding place at the time of the 

 expulsion, etc. 



In Micmac Oo-ses^-sischk (Flinne). 



Cains River. — According to tradition, sustained by Cooney, so named for an 

 Indian, probably a chief, who hved there (p. 1S9). It is probably a corrup- 

 tion of Etienne, by which it is also known on early maps. In a Statute of 

 1786 as O'Kean; a plan of 1801 has Etiane ; Bonner, 1820, has Etienne; 

 Cooney, 1832, O'Kain ; Bouchette, 1831, Kains (misprinted Bains), and St. 

 Etiene, while locally it is said to be from Ekaine. 



In Micmac Wel-a-moo¥ -took , the same word as Oromocto (which see), 

 which, in its easy navigation for canoes, it resembles. In Maliseet it is 

 Mik-ma-wee-wel-a-mook-took = the Micmac's Oromocto. On De Meulles, 1686 

 as Ouelamoukt, which gives for MuzroU's Brook, Minouisuk. 



Cambridge.— P. 1852. Said to be in honour of H. R. H. the Duke of Cambridge, 

 uncle of Queen Victoria. 



Campbell. -(Southampton, York.) S. 1856 (p. 208). Perhaps in memory of Sir 

 Archibald Campbell, Lieut.-Governor of N.B., 1831-1837, died 1843. 

 Sec. II., 1896. 15.
