Campbell or Campbelltown.— (Stanley, York). One of the N.B. and N.S. 

 Land Co. settlements (see p. 207). Perliaps in remembrance of Campbellton 

 in Scotland. 



Campbell River. — Map name only. Named by Mr. Andrew Inches in ISlîl in 

 honour of Sir Archibald Campbell, newly appointed Lieut.-Governor of N.B. 

 Also Right Hand Branch. In Maliseet, Qua-quopsk = dirty rocks, or 

 Fah-(juopsk = rocky stream, descriptive. 



Campbellton. — (Restigouche). Probably in honour of Sir Archibald Campbell, 

 Lieut.-Governor of N.B., LS31-1837, though possibly suggested by Campbell- 

 town in Scotland. In a Statute of 1833 as CampbeUtown. On early maps 

 the point is Martin's or Quiv ton's Point. An old plan has here the word 

 Caranaglisht. 



Campobello. — Named by Captain William Owen, its principal grantee, whose 

 Journal of 1770 reads : " I named the Island Campobello, the latter partly 

 complimentary and punning on the name of the Governor of the Province, 

 Lord William Campbell, and partly as applicable to the nature of the soil 

 and fine appearance of the island, Campobello in Spanish and Italian being, 

 I presume, synonymous to the French Beau-Champ." The name occurs twice 

 in Sicily, in Switzerland, and in South Carolina. In a book by Admiral 

 W. F. W\ Owen of 1842, it is translated Fairfield. In Passamaquoddy, it is 

 A-bah^-guit = lying along or parallel with the land, which is descriptive (see 

 p. 192). Gatschet gives it = floating between ; and also Ed-lit-ik. By the 

 French probably called Me Pesmocadie ; on d'Anville, 1755, 1. Pas-camadie. 

 By the English, before 17(i5, it was Great Island of Passamaquoddy (Southack, 

 1733), or Passamaijuoddy Outer Island (Grant of 1767). 



The Owens introduced Welch Pool, Lake Glansevern, Tyn-y-coed, in 

 remembrance of places in Wales connected with their family, and they 

 occur on map of I80O, along with Abraham Plain, Bunker Hill, etc. Mill 

 Cove was Finback Cove on Wright, 1772; (on Charlotte Town see Courier, 

 Series CXXIII). Tyn-y-maes (House in the Fields) has been given by the 

 company .since 1881. 



Canaan River.— No doubt extended to the river from the New Canaan Settle- 

 ment (which see). On plan of 1826, New Canaan River ; also called Washa- 

 denioak (which see). The North Fork in INIaliseet, SaJi-gan-ik^ (or, as Mr. 

 .lack gives, Up-sah-gan-ik) ^^ a moose's back. Two lakes at its head, not 

 sliown on the maps, are Um-ked-a-mes-kovs. 



Canadian Point.— (Opposite Newcastle). Probably goes back to the French 

 period. On Micheau, 1785. 



Canning.— P. 1826. In honour, no doubt, of George Canning, English statesman, 



then Prime Minister, and who died in that year. 

 Canouse River. — From the Passamaquoddy Ka-noos'-ik, of which they do not 

 know the meaning, but it may be connected with the Kanoosuk, the 

 knowing little people of their legends, or possibly for an Indian of that 

 name. On Titcomb's Ms. plan, 1792, as Keenouse, and in 1796-9, Survey 

 map as Canouse; also Canoes. 



Canterbury.— P. 185"). Origin ? 



Caraquette.— Origin unknown. Occurs first in Denys' work of 1672 in the form 

 Caraquet. The Micmacs call it Ka-la-gee (or Calvget, Rand), which may be 

 simply their pronunciation of our form. Jumeau, 1685, has Caraquet and 

 Karaguet ; Denys (in Ch. IX.), describes here Isles of Tousquet, which 

 possibly may be a misprint for Caraquet. 

 The parish was erected in 1831,
