Place-nomenclature. 



Traceys Brook. — See Mistouche. 



Truittes, Rivière des. — A river flowing into Miramichi, a boundary of the 

 Seigniory of Richard Denys de Fronsac; identity unknown. 



Trues, — See under Settlement Origins. 



Tryon Settlement. — So named, in all probability, in honour of Major Tryon, 

 private secretary to Sir John Harvey at the time it was laid out in 

 1838. He married a daughter of Sir John Harvey. I have found no 

 direct evidence of this, but have found no other person of sufficient 

 prominence at that time to entitle them to the honour. It is locally 

 explained by a legend mentioned a few pages earlier. It is commonly 

 said it was named for the surveyor who laid it out, but this is not 

 so, for it was surveyed by A. Blair in 1838. 



Tuadook. — Name proposed in 1901, a restoration of the Micmac Indian name, 

 for the southwest branch of the Little Southwest Miramichi River. 

 The name, with the local names in the vicinity and along the entire 

 branch, are discussed in Bull. N. H. S. N. B., IV, 463, and V, 321, 324. 



Two Rivers, Albert. — Used first in the Calhoun Diary of 1771 in its present 

 form. 



Udenack. — On Sproule's map of 1786 as Vdeneck. 



Upsalquitch. — The history of this word, seeming to show that our present 

 form is derived simply from a misprint of the locally-used form, 

 Absetquetch, is given in Bull. N. H. S., V, 180. The mountains around 

 Upsalquitch Lake were named in 1902, as fully described in Bull. 

 N. H. g. N. B., V, 80. 



The usual meaning attributed to the Indian form absetquetch, namely 

 a branch or smaller river, is not accepted by Mr. D. Ferguson, of 

 Chatham, who knows the place and Indians well. He says he has 

 understood it meant Apish, meaning more or again, al-cootch or at-cooch, 

 " blanket or covering," thus signifying more-blanket river, alluding 

 to the coldness of travel upon it in winter. I think this fanciful; 

 and I believe the explanation that it means the little river, in contra- 

 distinction to the main Restigouche, is correct. 



Utopia Lake. — In an article on this lake in the St. John Telegraph, July 5, 

 1892 (copied from Forest and Stream), the late Edward Jack says 

 that the lines on the Magaguadavic were only started by BufRngton, 

 the surveyor, and when Capt. Clinch ran them out and found them 

 running into the lake, putting most of the land under its waters, he 

 named it Eutopia. It occurs on Sproule's map of 1786 as Utopia. 

 Its Indian name is further discussed in the Bull. N. H. S., Ill, 47. 



Vin, Bay. — See Bay du Vin. 



Wakefield. — P. 1803. I have not yet been able to settle the origin of this 

 name, which, I surmise, must have been given for the early home of 

 some of the settlers. It was, however, a district or settlement name 

 before it was applied to the parish, for it occurs in 1801 in the Land 

 Memorials.
