[ganong] place-nomenclature OF NEW BRUNSWICK 275 



Taxis River. — Doubless for an Indian named Tax who once lived upon it ; two 

 Micmacs have told me so, and Cooney mentions an Indian of that name ; a 

 plan of 1809 has Tax's River. On a plan of 1801 as Taxe^. 



In Micmac, Wak-mutk = clear water, which it probably is (compare 

 Rand, Middle River, Wakumutkook = pellucid water). In Maliseet I have 

 Quec-le-guec and Teg-a-tioa-gttchk, but both are uncertain. 

 Tay Creek. — On plan of 1787 as Macktuguack or Tay. Doubtless named by 



Dngald Campbell, surveyor, who lived at its mouth. 

 Tay Settlement. — Founded 1819., No doubt named from the creek. 

 Teagues Brook. — For .Jacob Tague, who had a grant there in 1812. In Statute, 



1826. In ]\Iicmac, Coo-mooch-eay-a-mik. 

 Tedish River.— Doubtless Micmac. In Plessis, 1812 as Dldichc ; Bonnor, 1820, 



has Tittisue. In Acadian, Tédiche. 

 Teetotal Settlement. — Founded about 1812 by settlers from Ireland, evidently 



upon temperance principles. 

 Telegraph Hill. — Several hills in N. B. are so named ; in 1794 a semaphore 

 telegraph system was established between Halifax and Fredericton, by 

 which signals were telegraphed from hill to hill ; but it appears not to have 

 been long in use. Following are all of the hills known to me having the 

 name, but there are doubtless others : 

 Near Martin's Head. Hill back of Milkish. 



One near Sussex Vale? Bald Mountain in Queens Co. 



Mount Theobald. Hill at Wordens below Spoon Id. 



Carleton Hill. 



Temperance Vale.— N. B. and N. S. Land Co. settlement (p. 207). 



Teneriflfe, Peak of.— So named by Sir Edmund Head, probably in 1849 (Gordon, 

 p. 55, date fixed by a trip he is known to have made in that year). East 

 of this are hills named Feldspar Mountains by L. W. Bailey in 1863 (Can. 

 Naturalist, 1864, 91). 



Tennants Cove.— Doubtless for AV. Tennant, a grantee. In Maliseet Pes-Jcay- 

 boc^-sis =: the little Pes-cay-boc or Belleisle, showing that the latter name 

 applied to the bay and not to the brook at its head. On the Peachy map 

 occurs here Quoradumakeg, which I think must be out of place (see Little 

 River, Kings). 



Tête-à-gauche River.— From the Micmac Too-doo-goos¥ , perhaps^^ a small river. 

 Cooney, 1832, followed by others, gives it — fairy river; probably not 

 correct. On De MeuUes, 1686, as Toul-gouch ; De I'lsle, 1703, has Tougouche. 

 A grant of 1807, has Taltigouche R. followed by others. The first trace of the 

 French form that I have found is on Wilkinson, 1859, and was probably 

 introduced by him, and represents an attempt to restore a supposed French 

 origin (p. 200). Pr. loc. Tatty goosh. 



Thatch Island.— In a grant of 1767, as Thatch' d Island. 



The E. Grimross Island is Thatch Island on a plan of 1819. 



Theobald, Mount.— Said to have been named by Irish settlers in honour of 

 Father Matthew, whose Christian name was Theobald, the great temperance 

 reformer. He visited America in 1849 and died in 1856. Also Telegraph 

 Hill (which see). 



Itwas doubtless this mountain to which Champlain refers in his narrative 

 of his voyage of 1604 ; " a little back in the countrv is a mountain which hsts 

 the form of a cardinal's hat."
