Lawrence’s plans were to some extent interfered with by untoward 
occurrences. One of these was the receipt of an instruction from the 
Lords of Trade that the most eligible lands should now be reserved for 
such officers and soldiers of His Majesty’s forces as should be disbanded 
in America at the conclusion of the war. Lawrence, with some reluc- 
tance, submitted to the Lords of Trade a list of places, which here 
follows, where disbanded soldiers might be settled:— 
At Passamaquoddy, on the River St. Croix, on the north side of the Bay of 
Fundy, 2 townships, 400 families. 
At Harbour L’Etang, eastward of Passamaquoddy, 1 township, 200 families. 
At Musquash Cove, westward of St. Johns, 1 township, 200 families. 
In St. Johns River, navigable 30 Leagues at least, 10 townships, 2,000 families. 
River Patcootyeak, navigable 40 miles—Memromcook—6 townships, 1,200 
families. 
At Miramichi River, navigable 40 miles, 6 townships, 1,200 families. 
At Chidiack (Shediac), 1 township, 200 families. 
At Tetmagoush, 1 township, 200 families. 
The Lords of Trade seem to have been impressed with the idea 
that disbanded soldiers would prove a very desirable class of settlers, 
as being likely to over-awe the Indians and capable of being organized 
for the defence of the frontier in an emergency. They wished also to 
reward them for the services they had rendered the nation. Lawrence
