P lace-nomenclature. 



Douglas Mountain, and Valley and River (for west branch of Nerepis). These 

 all make their appearance in 1826, the year the surveys for the 

 Frederieton-St. John Road were made under the direction of Governor 

 Sir Howard Douglas. They were no doubt named for him. The 

 popularity of Sir Howard is evinced by the many places named for 

 him in New Brunswick — comprising Douglas Parish, Douglas Moun- 

 tain, Douglastown, Douglas Harbour, with Howard Settlement and 

 Howardville which have disappeared. 



Douglastown. — Named a few months before the great Miramichi fire for 

 Governor Douglas, who visited the Miramichi at that time (Cooney, 64). 



Drury Cove. — Also Portage Cove on earlier maps, and earlier Htinter's Cove 

 (N. B. Mag., II, 324). 



Dumbarton. — P. 1856. Within this parish a grant was made to the St. 

 Andrews Highland Society, and I believe there is some connection 

 between this fact and the origin of the name. 



Dundas. — x^. 1826. Without doubt this parish was so named in honour, of 

 Ann Dundas, the wife of Sir Howard Douglas, then the popular Gov- 

 ernor of New Brunswick. The parish of Douglas had been named 

 for Sir Howard two years before. (Discussed in the Educational Re- 

 view, XV, -160). 



Dungarvon. — It seems there is no river of that name In Ireland — only a 

 parish and harbour; my explanation of the name is very likely incor- 

 rect. 



Dunsinane. — Said to have been named by Robert Shives, Emigration Agent 

 at St. John, whose father was a Scotchman. 



Enaud, Point. — In Bathurst Harbour. A persistence, no doubt, of the name 

 of the early French settler, Enaud (Henault, etc.). See Historic Sites, 

 298, 300. 



Ennishone. — Said locally to be named for a township in Ireland, though such 

 does not appear on maps of Ireland. Probably the same as Innishowen. 

 The earliest settlers were largely Irish. 



Enragé, Cap. — A French name; called by English residents Cape Enrage, 

 but also corrupted to lioshat, and applied to the bay to the west- 

 ward (see Roshca). This is made clear by a passage in the Calhoun 

 Diary of 1771 which reads: — "Cape Roshea, called by the English 

 Cape Enrage from a ledge of rock to the S.S.W. which, in high winds, 

 makes a very rough sea." 



Fairville.— So named for the founder, Robert Fair, from Ireland, of whom 

 obituaries appeared in the St. John papers of Sept. 2, 1901. 



Filomaro.— See Philmonro. 



Foxbury.— A place mentioned in Land Memorials of 1800, as location of lots, 

 owned by Judge Saunders; possibly the Foxerbica of Leland.
