300F. Nicolas Denys' Habitation at Nepisiguit. This establishment was in 

 existence in 1679 and apparently also in 1689 ftr in a Memorial of 

 the later date by Richard Denys de Fronsac it is stated, — " Teni 

 years ago there was no other house than the one at Nepisiguit, with 

 17 or 18 hired men and as many French settlers of every age and 

 both sexes, with munitions of war and arms in proportion. " And 

 later he speaks of eight Frenchmen then (1689) in his employ at his 

 Habitation in Bay Chaleur, meaning, of course, Nepisiguit. 



300G. Enault's Settlement. Additional evidence on this subject is given later 

 under page 319 of these addenda. The document there mentioned 

 speaks of Enault as a resident of Nepisiguit in 1691. 



301. Very full information about Restigouche in 1760 is contained in the 



Documents mentioned earlier under St. Simon. 



302. A very interesting subject still unworked is the assignment of the Bar- 



onies of Nova Scotia in the present New Brunswick. On these com- 

 pare page 173 of Monograph on Boundaries. 



307. References to the French Seigniories occur in the Report on Canadian 

 Archives, 1899, Supplementary Volume, especially at pages 285, 321, 

 289, 326, 345, 368, 385, 389. 



307. Sieur St. Aubin of Passamaqoddy was not the Gourdan of Church's 

 attack, as shown by documents in the Archives, 1899, Suppl. 408, 421. 



309. As to the location of the territory of which Sieur de Martignon was 

 governor. Dr. Hannay has shown me that it was not de Martignon, 

 but his father-in-law, i.e.. La Tour, who was governor of the 50 lea- 

 gues of country, and that hence the reference is to the grant of 1656; 

 hence Mines was no doubt Minas, while Maquo would be some place 

 on the Maine Coast, probably near St. Georges. 



312. The Seigniory at Soulanges in Quebec was not granted to the Sieur 

 de Soulanges of Jemseg, but to his son. The former was dead before 

 the year 1702, for in 1691 his widow received a seigniory at Jemseg 

 (page 314). 



The Seigniory of Clignancourt, did extend from the Grand Falls to 

 Meductic, as shown by a reference in a memoir by Cadillac, (among 

 the documents in the Legislative Library at Fredericton) who, in 1695, 

 speaks of this seigniory as extending " depuis la Sault de Medoctet 

 jusqu'au grand Saut de la rivière St. Jean, les deux côtes de la riv- 

 ière quarante lieues au moins de chacque côté avec trois lieus jde 

 profondeur. " 



314. The statement by Rameau that Vaudreuil possessed the seigniory of 

 Aucpac is confirmed by a note sent me by Rev. Dr. Raymond viz., - 

 Jean Pierre Danielou observes in a census made by him in 1739, 

 "Monsieur Cavagnal de Vaudreuil gouverneur des Trois Rivières, 

 est seigneur de la paroisse d'Ekoupag. " (also his St. John River, 250). 

 This no doubt was the Seigniory of Vilrenard, granted 1697, which 

 presumably was acquired by Vaudreuil through purchase.
