 about the mouth of the Kenneljec r., in

 with whom they combined at an early 

 period when displaced by the English. 

 They figured in the Falmouth treaty of 

 1749 and other treaties of that period. 

 Before 1727 most of them had removed 

 to St Francis and Becancour, Quebec, and 

 in 1747 only a few families remained in 

 Maine, who soon afterward removed also 

 to Canada, where a remnant still exists.
