^{FN5 Ch3} Colonel Robert Denison (1697-1765) was "a captain in General Roger Wolcott's brigade at Louisbourg in 1758." (Eaton's History of the County of Kings (Salem Press, Mass: Salem Press, 1910) at p. 69.) Denison was to settle at Horton. His children, who presumably came with him (though maybe not the older ones) were: Deborah (the name of his first wife), Robert, Elizabeth, Daniel, Andrew, Mary, Robert, Gordon, Samuel, Sarah and Eunice. [See History of the County of Kings, op. cit., at p. 69; and see Wright's work, Planters and Pioneers, Nova Scotia, 1749 to 1775 (Hantsport: Lancelot Press, 1982) at p. 101.]

^{FN6 Ch3} Jonathon Harris (1705-?) himself did not come to settle in Nova Scotia, but his brother and son did: Lebbeus Harris (1713-?) and James Harris (1740-1838). They both settled at Horton. (See Wright's work, Planters and Pioneers, Nova Scotia, 1749 to 1775, op. cit., pp. 150-1.)

^{FN7 Ch3} Amos Fuller (1721-?) was to settle with his group of Connecticut men, but by 1764, apparently, he had moved off to Cumberland. (See Wright's work, Planters and Pioneers, Nova Scotia, 1749 to 1775, op. cit., pp. 150-1.)

^{FN8 Ch3} John Hicks (1715-1790) and his son, and their respective families, came to Falmouth; but, later sold the lots at Falmouth and moved to Annapolis County. (See Planters and Pioneers, Nova Scotia, 1749 to 1775, op. cit., at p. 158; and see, "The Coming of the New England Planters to the Annapolis Valley," op. cit., p. 89.)

^{FN9 Ch3} Upon his return, it would seem, Morris prepared maps laying out townships on the very same lands that had been occupied and worked by generations of French Acadians; and, who, without too much ceremony, were forced off their lands and into transport ships, but five years earlier, in 1755. The Morris maps have come down to us. The first is that of the Chignecto area. These lands at the isthmus were divided up, except for the lands around the Memramcook and Petitcodiacke, into three townships: Amherst, Cumberland and Sackville. The second is of the western parts of the Minas Basin: Cornwallis (covering the areas of the rivers Canard and Habitant), Horton (including the lands at Grand Pré), Falmouth (southwest of the Pizaquid), and Newport (lands to the east of the Pizaquid, including in and around St. Croix). Then there is the map showing the lands at the northeastern extremity of Minas Basin, Truro. These maps, which I have scanned in, are tipped in, Report Concerning Canadian Archives Branch for the Year 1904 (Ottawa: 1905), p. 300; also with these maps in the archival report of 1904, will be found Morris' "Description and State of the New Settlements in Nova Scotia in 1761," Appendix 'F' just ahead of Morris' maps.

^{FN12 Ch3} Benjamin Kimball, according to Eaton did not stay in Nova Scotia (History of the County of Kings, op. cit., at p. 69.)

^{FN13 Ch3} Bliss Willoughby, according to Eaton did not stay in Nova Scotia (Ibid.)

^{FN14 Ch3} Samuel Starr (1728-99) and his brother, David (1742-1831) of Norwich, Connecticut, were to make their home at Star's Point (Cornwallis). (See History of the County of Kings, op. cit., at p. 69; and see Planters and Pioneers, Nova Scotia, 1749 to 1775, op. cit. at p. 287; and see, "The Coming of the New England Planters to the Annapolis Valley," op. cit., p. 92.

^{FN15 Ch3} The fact of the matter is that several hundred men from New England, in militia groups, had come up to take Fort Beauséjour in 1755. In that year it was the scene of some bloody fighting, the French claiming it as a border; and, though the French had been effectively defeated in America by 1760 with the fall of Montreal, the international dispute continued until 1763. Further, the dykes which the Acadians had built had not weathered all the turmoil of the conflict very well, with the result that many of the best fields in the area had been flooded with salt water.

^{FN16 Ch3} Daniel Knowlton (b.1726), from Ashford, Connecticut, was to settle at Onslow, but, we note, died at Advocate Harbour. (See Planters and Pioneers, Nova Scotia, 1749 to 1775, op. cit. at p. 182.)

^{FN17 Ch3} Ebenezer Felch, John Woodward, Jasen Glezen, Abner Morse (1731-1803), Samuel Bent (b.1739), and Henry Evans (1725-94). Morse, Bent and Evans, at least, were to settle at Annapolis. (Ibid., at pp. 54,215,216.)

^{FN18 Ch3} Ibid., pp. 96-7. "On May 17, 1760, 25 heads of families, making with wives and children 45 passengers, were embarked at Boston on board the Charming Molly. There were also on board 10 oxen, 11 cows, 2 horses, 10 sheep, 1 'sow bigg with piggs', 6 lambs and seven small cattle: the vessel, one suspects, was not so charming when she arrived at Annapolis." After leaving off her first lot of passengers, the Charming Molly returned to Boston so to depart again on June 19th "with ten more settlers for Annapolis." (Ibid.) It would certainly seem that Wright got her information right out of Calnek's History of the County of Annapolis. It is from Calnek we learn that Henry Evans of Massachusetts kept a diary, much of which Calnek sets forth beginning at p. 148. It is here we find the passenger list of the Charming Molly (under the command of Captain Grow); also there is some additional detail of the live stock that the settlers brought with them from Boston.

^{FN19 Ch3} Murdoch, in his History of Nova Scotia, vol. 2, p. 389, wrote, that these settlers from Connecticut had been at sea for "21 days, and suffered much for want of sufficient provender and hay for their stock. Their cattle were landed at Piziquid, to be afterwards driven to Mines."

^{FN24 Ch3} Longley observes ("The Coming of the New England Planters to the Annapolis Valley," op. cit., p. 100) that Captain Jonathan Lovett was the captain of one of the transports that was hired to take the Acadians away in 1755. (See Transport Ships of the Acadian Deportation.)
