Riots occurred when the colonial authorities attempted to assert possession, and the matter was at length compromised in 1719 by allowing Litchfield to be settled in accordance with the town grants, while the colony reserved the larger part of northwestern Connecticut.
The diplomacy of New York governors during this period of the Old West, in securing a protectorate over the Six Nations and a consequent claim to their territory, and in holding them aloof from France, constituted the most effective contribution of that colony to the movement of American expansion.
Among the objects of the colony, as specified in the charters, were the relief of the poor and the protection of the frontiers.

The Colonial tradition most often discussed is that of the "First Thanksgiving" in New England celebrated by the settlers of the Plymouth Colony (commonly considered to be in Fall 1621).

This resolution was written by a committee of three headed by Governor Belcher's friend, John Winthrop (1714-1779), a professor of mathematics and natural philosophy at Harvard College.

But his work was far from ended.  The valley he had explored, the territory he had added to France, must be occupied, and to occupy it two things were necessary:  1.  A colony must be planted at the mouth of the Mississippi, to control its navigation and shut out the Spaniards.

 Census Legislation, New Brunswick
Although the latter two were synchronized with the rest of the British Empire, all of these censuses were authorized by acts of the New Brunswick legislature and conducted by the government of New Brunswick.
This is to be expected, of course, since New Brunswick and Canada were two separate colonial provinces, each with its own government and legislature, and neither was part of the other.
Actually I believe the governor of the Province of Canada was also nominally the governor of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island through his role as Governor General of British North America.
