^{FN3 Ch4} New Englanders had settled Chester, and, by 1761, there were "about 30 families containing about 120 persons." This was reported by Charles Morris. See, "Description and State of the New Settlements in Nova Scotia in 1761," being a contemporaneous report to the Lords of Trade dated January 11th, 1762, as can be found in Report Concerning Canadian Archives Branch for the Year 1904 (Ottawa: 1905), p. 290.

^{FN4 Ch4} McNutt's efforts at settlement were more successful at Londonderry then at New Dublin. (Esther Clark Wright in Planters and Pioneers, Nova Scotia, 1749 to 1775 (Hantsport: Lancelot Press, 1982) at p. 19.

^{FN6 Ch4} While originally it seems that the township of Falmouth was to cover territory on both sides of the Piziquid River, from Eaton's work, we see that "perhaps, the division known as East Falmouth was made" in honor of Belchor's friend, Lord Newport. [History of the County of Kings (Salem Press, Mass: Salem Press, 1910).] By 1761, at Newport, there was to be, as reported by Morris, 60 families consisting of 240 persons. We see too from Morris' report that the first growing season was to be difficult as there was that year an "excessive draught."

^{FN7 Ch4} By 1761 there was at Falmouth, as reported by Morris, 80 families consisting of 350 persons.

^{FN8 Ch4} At Horton there was 150 families consisting of 900 persons.

^{FN9 Ch4} At Cornwallis, by 1761, there was to be, as reported by Morris, 115 families consisting of 600 persons. The number of families at Cornwallis and Horton was estimated by Wright, in 1783, to be 230 consisting of 1590 persons. (Planters and Pioneers, Nova Scotia, 1749 to 1775, op. cit., p. 13.)

^{FN14 Ch4} Brebner writes that the likely population for Halifax and environs was but 1,300. This figure may not have included two groups then at Halifax: the Acadians and the military. [The Neutral Yankees of Nova Scotia (1937) (Toronto: McClelland and Stewart, 1970) fn at p. 43.]

^{FN15 Ch4} Brebner, op. cit., p. 46, writes that Barrington had a count of 141 persons (48 from Nantucket and 93 from Plymouth); Yarmouth, 253 persons; and 108 persons in between.

^{FN16 Ch4} Brebner, op. cit., p. 48, estimates 125 families consisting of 656 persons Cornwallis; Horton, 122/689; Falmouth, 73/356; and at Newport, 47/245).

^{FN17 Ch4} Brebner, op. cit., p. 79, estimates the population for all of Nova Scotia at 8,200.
