^[19] Hannay says: "The inhabitants numbered some two thousand five hundred at the time of the treaty of Utrecht [1713], divided into three principal settlements at Port Royal, Mines and Chignecto." (p. 307.) This figure of 1,773 was adopted by Brebner, New England's Outpost, p. 407.

^[20] From the oath taking activities of Philipps, we can determine the general population levels of the Acadians in 1730. There were about 800 oaths administers to the heads of family. Philipps calculated that on average there was about five to a family, so therefore, the total population was 4,000 with about 1,000 around Annapolis Royal and the balance, 3,000 at the "Bay Settlements."
