[GANONG] PLACE-NOMENCLATURE OF NEW BRUNSWICK 239 



H. 



Ha Ha- — French, seems := echo. In Mante, 1755, Shepody Mountain is Ha Hu 

 Mountain. On De Meulles, 1686, /. du ha lia applies to the long sand islands 

 east of Cape Enragé ; Bellin, 1744, has the same (misprinted Ilaba), and 

 on Bonnor, ls20,'Haiv Haw River is a stream emptying just west of C. 

 Enragé; on Wilkinson, 1859, it is the cove just S. of INIarys Point. 



Halls Creek. — Said by tradition to be for the captain of the ship which brought 

 the German settlers here in 17()3, Earlier, Fanaccadle Creek, which, in 1765, 

 is in the description of bounds of the township of Moncton ; doubtless 

 Micmac, as the accadie shows. 



Hammond River. — For Sir Andrew S. Hamond, Governor of Nova Scotia, who 

 received a large grant upon it about 1781. On a plan of 1786 as Little Kenua- 

 becasis, or Hammond River. Should be spelled Hamond. 



In Maliseet Nah-wiy -e-'wauk. Several Indians have told me that this 

 and Nashwaak (which see), are the same word. This is confirmed by its 

 earliest use ; in the seigniorial grant to Pierre Chesnet, Sieur de Breuil, of 

 1684, it is called Petit Nachouac. It is preserved in the I. C. R. Station of 

 Nauwigewauk. 



Hammond. — P. 1 858, Suggested, of course, by the river. 



Hampton. — P. 1795- Perhaps for the place near London. 



Hampstead. — P. 1786. Probably in remembrance of that place in Long Island^ 

 from which the settlers had come (Raymond). Formerly Hempstead. 



Hanwell. — S. Said to be for the suburb of London of that name. On Baillie I., 

 1832. 



Harbor de Lute. — Probably a corruption of the Acadian Havre de Loutre = Otter 

 Harbour. One of its coves is still called Otter Cove. In Mitchell's Field 

 Book, 1764, harbor dehite ; in Owen's .Journal, 1770, as Havre de L'Outre. 



Harcourt. — P. 1826. Probably in honour of the Earl of Harcourt, who became 

 Field Marshal of the British forces in 1820. 



Hardings Point.— On Ms. map 1826. 



Hardwicke. — P. 1851. Perhaps for the Earl of Hardwicke. 



Hardwood Creek. — No doubt descriptive ; possibly translated from French Bois- 

 J'ranc, which has been corrupted to Bumfrau (which see). Wood Creek, on 

 Bonnor, 1820, and in its present form on Foulis, 1826. 



In Maliseet, Klun-quah^-dik = treaty place ; here they say was their 

 last meeting with the Mohawks, and a treaty was made which has never 

 been broken, but perhaps the origin is different (p. 196). 



Occurs as R. Tranquaddy on D. Campbell, 1785, which is the samer 

 with r for I. 



Hardwood Island.— Probably descriptive. On a plan of 1802. In Passama- 

 quoddy, Sy-o-so-tis = a half-way place (Mrs. Brown). 



Harrisons Island.— (Near Millidgeville). In Maliseet, E-pu-kun-ee' -kek (alt. 

 Chamberlain). 



Hartland. — S. Said to be in honour of James Hartley, late ^I.P.P. for Carleton 

 County. 



Harts Lake.— No doubt for Thomas Hart, a pre-loyalist settler (Coll. N. B. Hist. 

 Soc, I., p. 103). For Maliseet name see Grimross. 



Harts Island. — (York). Origin? Its aboriginal Maliseet name is uncertain. 

 Mr. Jack has given me Wah-cU'loo' -sen z^ fort, l^ecause once fortified by 

 them, but this is doubtful. 



Sec. II., 1896. 16.
