APPENDIX TWO: THE EARLY YEARS

LOT SUMMARIES AS FOUND IN MEACI-IUM'S ATLAS 11880!:*

LOT 40:

This Lot was settled on by the French. It had but 5 families in 1798,

though its settlement was early begun. It had a population of 700 in 1861.

LOT 41:

The settlement of this Lot began in 1793. It had five families living on it in 1798. Though the soil of this Lot is generally good, its distance from

any good shipping place has been against its settlement. Its population in 1861 was 1070.

LOT 42:

The settlement of this Lot was begun in the same year as that of Lot 41, and went on pretty much at the same rate and under the same drawbacks. In 1861 its population numbered only 609.

LOT 56:

A few loyalists settled on this Lot in 1784. The land is of second quality, and the greater part of the Lot is far from any shipping place. Its

settlement did not, on these accounts, progress very fast. Its population in 1861 was 800.
