last centurj', though he received no grant until 1828. Jaquet in Plessis, 1811. 

 In Micmac, Po-gnm^-kik or Po-yum'-kce. On De Meulles, 1086, as Pogomkik ; 

 Bellin, 1744, has Plaiujanic; d'An ville, 1755, followed by others, has Pas- 

 boncuj, apparently aï- rench familiarization, and other forms occur. In a 

 plan of 1770, Crokey River, origin unknown. 



Jardines Brook. — (On the Restigouche). Probably for a lumberman. On the 

 survey map of 178() it is called Gagouchiguway, followed by others. In Mic 

 mac it is now ^fe.'^-keck-os-ke-g^lay-^k ; the terminations are alike. 



Jemseg. — From theMaliseet Ah-jhn'-sek, which lack gives = picking up place. In a 

 document of 1670 in Memorials of the Commissaries as Gemisick, and sub- 

 sequently often used, sometimes much misprinted, even to Temsee and 

 Lemsing ; Giles, 1696, has Hagimsac. It was granted in seigneurie in 1676. 

 Pronounced locall}' .Timsag. 



Jocelyns Brook. — ^laliseet, Good-e-wam'-kik, given by .Jack, applies really to 

 Gardens Creek. 



Joes Point. — (Charlotte). Origin? On survey map 1798. Plan of 1804 has 

 Jou^si }>t. 



Joggins, North. — Probably of Micmac origin, connected perhaps with Chegogin. 

 In a document of 1746 (Quebec Docs. iv. 274) Jaguingouche près Beaubassin is 

 mentioned; Morris, Ms. map of about 17ôO, has Jogg'in ; Montresor, 1768, 

 has loggin, all for the one in N. S. Gesner (I., 2nd, p. 31) attributes it to the 

 notches or jogs in the rocks, whence Jog-in, but this is fanciful. 



Johnston. — P. 1839. Said to be in honour of Hon. Hugh Johnston, member of 

 the Legislature. 



Johnville. — S. 1861. Founded by Bishop John Sweeney, of St. John, and named 

 for him. 



Jolicœur. — French ^^ pretty heart, but probably from a French family of that 

 name. On a plan or in a grant of 1792 as Jolicœur diairict. Possibly the 

 Richart of ^lontresor, 1768, may be connected with it. 



Jones Creek.— (Queens). Said to be for a pre-loyalist settler. 



Jordan Mountain. — Doubtless for a family of that name still living there. 



Jourimain, Cape. — Origin ? On Wilkinson, 1859. Upon old plans Jeauriman is 

 applied to the islands there ; the cape was Tormentine. Now the latter 

 has been moved down the coast. A local tradition states that the first 

 settler on the outer island was a German, whence the name, gradually 

 corrupted to its present form ; probably an error. Pr. loc. Ger-main^. 

 In Micmac, perhaps Wuk-taa'-mook. 



K. 



Kars. — P. isôii. — No doubt in commemoration of the heroic defence of Kars by 

 the Turks under General Williams in 1855. 



Kedgewiek. — From the Micmac; aboriginal form uncertain. In Micmac Pcd-a- 

 uii-kej'-wik, also Ma-da-ivavx-kedj-wik. In ^laliseet, said by Mr. Jack to be 

 Quel-a-uam-kedg-iiick, to which various meanings have been given. On the 

 survey map, 1786, it is Cadamgouichoui, (oWov/ed by others- Gesner gives 

 Pr-tam'kedg-ivee, and Gordon (p. 28), Quah-tah-ivah-am-qiuih-duavic, followed 

 by Taylor (Names and Places, Ed. II., .391) ; shortened by the rivermen to 

 Tom Kedgwick and Kedgwick. Called Grande Fourche = Big Fork on 

 some maps. 



Kedi'on. — Lakes and stream. Origin? On plans by ]Mahood in 18.34. On old 

 plans the stream is Testugack, the Passamaquoddy name.
