 | | At Lunenburg the count was 1,946; and the newly arrived New Englanders that had taken over the Acadian lands, from Annapolis to Truro amounted, by 1767, to "several hundred."4 Fergusson gives the overall view as of 1767: |
 | | "A census of Nova Scotia on January 1, 1767 provides statistics for 27 townships, in addition to the fishing establishment at Canso, the islands of Cape Breton and St. John, and the sparse settlements of Cape Sable, the St. John River, and Miramichi. |
 | | The 27 townships include not only four, Halifax, Dartmouth,5 Lawrencetown, and Lunenburg, which had been established between 1749 and 1754, and the 16 settled by New Englanders between 1760 and 1763, but also seven new ones, namely, Blandford, Hopewell, Londonderry, Maugherville, Monckton, Wilmot and Windsor. |
