Though the different c<jpies of this grant differ considerably in the 

 epelhng of the place names, there can be no doubt as to the location of the 

 Seigniory, which is shown on map No. 39. 



The longues vcues is still called the "Upper Reach," i. e., Upper Long 



Reach ; Nerkoiooiquek is Nacawicac, and Skooleopskek (i. e., Skooteopskek) 



is known to be Long's Creek. De liellefond wiu* Notary Royal at tiuL-bec, 



and i)ntl)al)ly did not attempt to settle his grant.

(Mar. L':;; eonfirniwl Mar. 1, UWi.) 



" Une terre à la rivière St. Jean, a l'Acadie, de (juatre lieues de front 

 sur ladite rivière, de deux lieues de profondeur de l'autre cost^, et vis-a-vis la 

 concession du Sieur de Chauffour, nommée Jemsec, le milieu desquelles 

 quatre lieus sera vis-a-vis la maison de Jemsec." (Doc. IL, 113 ; Leg. 120 ; 

 Murdoch, I., 199.) 



There can be no doubt as to its location ; it is given on map No. 39. 

 It inehnit'd the i)resent site of Gagetown. 

 1695— Kennebecasis. To Sieur Bernard If Amours, Eajr. [Sieur de FUnne'].

"La rivière Canibecachice afHuent dans la rivière St. Jean à l'Acadie 

 et d'une lieue et demye de chaque costé sur deux de profondeur. (Doc. IL, 

 224; Leg. 151.) 



Only an approximate location can be given for this Seigniory, since we do 

 not kn<jw how far up the river the grant was taken. 

 1695— Oak Point. To Sieur des Gouttins (or ]Je Goutin). (June 20, confirmed 

 169G). 

 " Lieu nommé la Pointe aux Chênes scituée ù la rivière St. Jean de l'Acadie 

 et d'une lieue de chaque costé de la dite pointe sur deux de profondeur." 

 (Doc. II. 224 : Leg. 152). 



There can be little doubt as to the location of this Seigniory, at^ sliown 



on Map No. 39. Some versions give Pointe aux Chenilles, but others l'ointe 



aux Chênes, and the INIorris Map of 1758 shows that the present Oak Point 



wa.s so called by tlie Acadians. 



1697—Na8hwaak to Long's Creek. To Charles Genaples, Sieur de Mlrenard. 



(April 23). 



" Of the space of land containing a league and a half front by two in 

 depth, to botmd from the seigneurie of Naxcouak, to the river of Skouteci)kek, 

 with the islands, islets and flats within that extent." (Murdoch I., 23S ; also 

 Leg. 173.) 



The boundaries given locate this Seigniory a.s on ]\Iap No. 38 and 39. even 

 though it« length is far miderestimated. Murdoch gives the name of the 

 Seignior as Villeneuve, but the French Documents have Vilrenard. 



It is stated by Rameau (II. 188) that in 1750 M. de Vaudreuil pos.«esscd 

 the great fief of Kkoupag, i. e., Ekpahak or Aucpac, but I know of no ground 

 for this statement.
