Historic Sites. 



228. Swan Creek. Various Indian relics have been found here, as I am 

 informed by Mr. Duncan London, at the localities indicated on the 

 sketch map which he has sent me and which is given later in this 

 paper (Map No. 20). Wampum was found in 1858 by his father, 

 Mr. E. M. London, then a resident of Swan Creek, at the place indi- 

 cated as ,were other Indian relics. The wampum locality has since 

 been much dug over by treasure-seekers. 



228. Mr. London also tells me he has found fragments of flint implements 

 and Indian pottery just below Cameron's wharf at the mouth of the 

 Otnabog. 



228.M. This Indian settlement was probably that said locally to have 

 existed at the mouth of Red Bank Creek, though the distance is some- 

 what too great. 



The name Indian Point is given to the point between Salmon Bay 

 and North East Arm at the mouth of Salmon River in the N. B. 

 Acts, for 1786-1836, 738. 



228. Another Indian location on the Washademoak is described in these 



Transactions VI, 1900, ii, 61. 



An Indian settlement, or camp-ground, of considerable impor- 

 tance, as shown by tradition and by many relics dug there, stood, 

 as I am informed by Dr. B. S. Thorne of Havelock, on the big inter- 

 vale at the end of the portage from Petitcodiac (described later in 

 these Addenda), about a quarter of a mile below the present Petit- 

 codiac Road. Captain Pote was here for two days in 1745 (Journal, 

 54). 



Favorite camping-places of the Indians were at mouth of Jemseg 

 and at Indian Point directly across the St John, according to MS. notes 

 left by the late Edward Jack. 



A small Indian village at Nauwlgewauk is mentioned by Ray- 

 mond, " St John River, " 331. 



An Indian village, according to a newspaper article (St John 

 Telegraph, Aug. 23, 1905) formerly stood in Kingston opposite Gondola 

 Point. It is described thus; — "The red man's burial ground was 

 just at the foot of what was afterwards called Gallows Hill, and many 

 a relic of the chase buried with the dead warriors have been handled 

 by the ploughman, and thus the ancients' equipment for the happy 

 hunting grounds became the property and the curios of the white man. 



The Indian encampment, was situated just in front of where the 

 residence of Captain Pitt now stands " 



229. An old plan has an Indian Creek, just above the Bend [Moncton] on the 



south side. 



Mr. H. A. O'Leary writes me that some 20 years ago and more, 

 the Indians used to camp at Moncton beside the McSweeney spring, 

 about 200 yards south of Halls Creek, and that the place was reputed 

 to be an ancient Indian camp-ground. This receives a certain 

 confirmation from the fact that this spring is the only one of any 

 importance for a long distance around.
