26 ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



P lo ce-nomenclature. 



Grand Lake, Q. — An old newspaper article in the St. John Sun says that 

 a Mr. Garrison, prior to the coming of the Loyalists, surveyed this lake 

 and gave names to Cumberland Bay, Salmon River, Newcastle, etc. 



Grand Manan. — The Great Mary island of McDonald's Reports originated with 

 David Owen, and represents one of his attempts to give a French origin 

 to the Indian names of Passamaquoddy. (See at end of Dictionary). 

 The Indian names for several places on or near the island are given 

 by Gatschet in the Eastport Sentinel, Sept. 15, 1897. 



Grand River. — Occurs first in Sproule's map of 1787 (see Map No. 39 later) 

 as " Quidasquack, by the French Grande Rivière." 



Grays Island, Albert. — So named for its first gi'antee, a Major Gray. In the 

 Calhoun Diary of 1771 it is ca'.led Delatong's Island, no doubt an Aca- 

 dian name. 



Green Hill. — The name in 1783 of the hill on which the Burton Court House 

 now stands. (Coll. N. B. Hist. Soc, II, 296). 



Green 'River. — On Sproule's map of 1787 (]\tap No. 39) called " Quamquerti- 

 cook or Green River. " 



< 

 Greenwich. — P. 1795. Possibly for Greenwich, a village now incorporated 



into New York City, in the Revolution the residence of many Loyalists. 

 There is also a Greenwich Street in Hempstead, L.I., after which place 

 our Hampstead was named. There seems to be no local tradition to 

 explain the name. 



Guagus. — Name of a lake emptying into the Lower North Branch of the 

 Little Southwest Miramichi. It is also applied to a part of the out- 

 let of Miramichi Lake and also to a place on the Renous River. It 

 is without doubt Micmac, though I do not know its meaning. It 

 seems to apply to a rocky place difficult of canoe navigation. Perhaps 

 involves the same root as Naleguagus on Salmon River and Nara- 

 guagus in Maine. 



Ha Ha River. — Still used. It occurs in the Calhoun Diary of 1771. 



Hamomashoe. — Some place, not known to me, in Madawaska (Winslow Pa- 

 pers, 572). 



Hanwell. — Used in the St. Andrews-Fredericton road survey of 1826-27, and 

 said locally to have been named for an early family of residents of 

 that name. 



Harcourt. — P. 1826. Confirmation of the derivation here given is in Fullom's 

 Life of Sir Howard Douglas, 266. He was a friend of Sir Howard. 



Hardwicke. — P. 1851. So named, as I am told by Mr. D. Lewis, of Escu- 

 minac, for Mr. Benjamin Hardwick, of London, who became interested 

 in Rev. James Hudson's Church of England missions here, and con- 

 tributed to them; accordingly the parish was named for him at Mr. 

 Hudson's suggestion, the final e being an error of the lawmakers.
