Settlement-origins. 



130. English Settlement, on the Northwest Miramichi. Settled by English 

 immigrants, who came 70 years ago and settled around the Methodist 

 Church still in existence near Chapel Island. 



130. English Settlement, — K. This settlement was not principally of Tork- 



shiremen, though it included one or two such settlers, as I am 

 Informed by Professor W. C. Murray, a descendant of some of the 

 founders of the Settlement. They were chiefly from the North of 

 England, with some lowland Scotch. The detailed information sup- 

 plied me by Professor Murray about this settlement I expect to pub- 

 lish later elsewhere. 



131. Escuminac, — N. The English-speaking settlers are in part Scotch and 



Irish immigrants and in part native expansion. A history of the 

 Settlement with an historical map, is expected to appear in " Acadien- 

 sis, " St. John, Vol. VII. 



131. Ferriebank, — C. Rev Mr. Ferrie was a Presbyterian clergyman. 



136. Gretna Green, — N. A name used before the Great Fire for Douglas- 

 town, which was thus named shortly prior to the Fire on the occa- 

 sion of the visit of Sir Howard Douglas. 



141. Irish Settlement, — Q. Some of its Irish settlers were veterans of Water- 

 loo, as I am told by Rev. Chalmers Jack. 



147. Martins Head, — J. On this settlement I find the following note in an 



early Report in the Crown Land Office; — "No improvements appear 

 in Cox's late grant except those made by LeBaron and Edwin Hazen, 

 or at their expense. It is my duty to add that these gentlemen began 

 a difficult and expensive settlement on this desolate part of the Bay, 

 in October 1806 — and that they have since presevered in their Buildings 

 and improvements with Industry and spirit which I have not seen 

 surpassed in any new settlement in the Province. " 



148. To the references here given on the history of Maugerville should be 



added the matter in "Sketches of New Brunswick," 102-103 and 

 Raymond, in the Coll. N. B. Historical Soc. II, 287. 



150. Miramichi, — N. In this brief discussion I have underestimated the im- 

 portance of the Irish immigration to Miramichi, which I find on fur- 

 ther study was greater than the Scotch. Further the spread of sett- 

 lers from this valley to other localities on the North Shore was great- 

 ly hastened by the Great Fire, after which many settlers sought new 

 homes, especially in parts of Gloucester. On the riots of 1822 see 

 Acadiensis, VI, supplement, 109. At the advent of the Loyalists there 

 were at Miramichi according to the Micheau Map earlier given (Map 

 No. 37), some 30 families, while Marston in the same year estimated 

 them at less than 100 (Coll. N. B. Hist. Soc. II, 98). 



150. Miscou, — G. An outline of the history of this Island, with especial refer- 

 ence to the founding of its modern settlement, illustrated by an his- 

 torical map, appeared in the Magazine "Acadiensis," Vol. VI, 79.
