Set tleynent-ori gins. 



151. Moorfields, — N. A settlement before the Great Fire, now included in 

 Douglastown. It is mentioned several times by Cooney. 



152; Napan, — N. Dates from about 1818, for the Royal Gazette of 1819 speaks 

 of the " new settlement near the head of tide on the Napan. " 



153. Neguac, — N. A history of the Settlement, with an historical map, is 

 expected to appear in the Magazine " Acadiensis, " St. John, Vol VII. 



153. Nelson, — N. There was a Roman Catholic chapel at Nelson as early 

 as 1811 (Plessis, 173), and it was this chapel without doubt which 

 attracted here so many Irish settlers. Important matter on a pos- 

 sible early mission here will be found earlier in this paper under 

 Acadian settlements and seigniories. 



160. Pokemouche, — G. A history of the settlement, with an historical map, 



is expected later to appear in " Acadiensis, " St. John, Vol. VI or VII. 



161. Pokesuedie, — G. An expansion from Caraquet, as the names of grantees 



show very clearly. 



161. Presquile, — Cn. Some description of this Post occurs in verse in 



" Lays of the Wilderness, " St. John, 1833. 



162. Renous, — N. Of later settlement than here given, for Cooney gives no 



settlement along the river in 1832. 



163. Richibucto, — K. Interesting matter on the trade of this place is given 



in Journals of the House of Assembly, 1885, Appendix CCXCVI. An 

 account of the Founding of Richibucto appeared in the Moncton 

 Transcript in May last and was reprinted in the Richibucto Review. 

 A history of the Settlements, with an historical map, is expected to 

 appear in the Magazine "Acadiensis, " St. John, Vol. VI or VII. 



164. Richibucto Village, — K. An important document on this settlement 



appears in the Journals of the House of Assembly, 1855, Appendix, 

 CCLXXXIV. 



165. Rothesay, — K. From local information I hear that the settlers of the 



upper part of this parish, and extending into Hampton were from New 

 York and New Jersey, and included a good many of German names. 

 It is said these settlers referred to the Kingston settlement, formed 

 by Loyalists from Connecticut^ as "The Yankee Shore." 



168. St. Josephs, — G. A thriving new Acadian settlement on the Caraquet 

 Railway between Burnsville and Grande Anse; apparently formed by 

 expansion from neighbouring settlements. 



170. Salt Springs, — K. Settled by immigrants from the highlands of Perth- 

 shire and North of Ireland, homologously with the Scotch and Irish 

 settlement on the Kings-Queens Boundary, as I am told by Rev. 

 Chalmers Jack.
