[GAKONG] HISTORIC SITES IN NEW BRUNSWICK 333 



The complicated history of the Simonds and other grants on the east side 

 of the mouth of the St. John (i.e., 20, 48, 65, below) is traced fully, with map, 

 by Eaymond in New Brunswick Magazine, III., L 129. The enormous size 

 of some of the grants made in this period will at once strike the attention. 

 The township grants were made mostly to members of the "Canada 

 Company," an organization of some 68 officers and others, who took up 

 the lands chiefly upon speculation. The sites of these grants, as far 

 as known, are shown upon the accompanying map No. 45, and as complete 

 a list as I «have been able to make of them is as follows .
