332 ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



/. The Passamaquoddy District, 



Tho grants of this period are fully described in the Courier series 

 and meivly a list of them must suffice here. Their locations are shown on 

 the accompanying map No. 45. Particularly valuable for their location 

 is a large undated map of Passamaquoddy in the Crown Land Office at 

 Fredericton, based upon Morris' map of 1765. Of the large grants only 

 that to the Owens escaped forfeiture for non-fulfilment of conditions, 

 though in the case of Deer Island a later grant was made to its 

 purchaser. 



1. To Capt. Sheriff and Lieut. Gamble, at tlie Ledge ; known only b}- a reference 



in Tucker's Grant ; size and date unknown. P^rhaps only 

 a reservation. 



2. 1765 — Oct. 18. Perkins (Indian) Island was granted with other lands on the 



St. John to Thomas Falconer and otliere (i. e., No. 23 below), 

 o. Oct. ?>\. To Francis Bernard and four others, 100,000 acres between the

15. 1774 — April. Captain Thomas Farrel, 2,000 a. at mouth of Digdeguash. 



Lord William Campbell applied for a reservation of Grand Manan in 1776, 

 and later attempts were made by his heirs to secure the island. (On which see 

 Howe, Coll. X. B. Hist. 8oc. I., 345, also Archives, 1894, 253.) 



2. The St. John District. 



No complote account of tho great grants of this period on the St. 

 John has yet been attempted, though there arc many references to the 

 subject in local writings.' A map of 17(55 by Morris, in the Public Record 

 Office, gives voiy accurately all of tho Townships granted in that 

 year, and is therefore of the greatest importance to tho present subject. 



' The fullest account that has yet appeared is by Raymond, in New Brunswick 

 Magazine, L, 263, and III., 249.
