There are none of the name here at present.

PAGE.--William Page lived at Mount Whatley for some years in the early part of the last century, and carried on quite an extensive business in wood-work and dry goods.

SMITH.--Dr.Rufus Smith lived near Fort Cumberland and had a large medical practice on the Isthmus.He belonged to one of the Loyalist families, and represented the County of Westmoreland in the Assembly at Fredericton for a period of fifteen years, from 1816.His remains lie in the cemetery at Point de Bute.

CHANDLER.--Col.Joshua Chandler, of New Haven, graduated at Yale College in 1747.He was a member of the Connecticut Legislature.Being loyal, he left when Gen.Tryon, was obliged to evacuate that place.His property was valued at L30,000 sterling, and was confiscated.He settled with his family at Annapolis, N.S.He and two daughters and a son were ship-wrecked going from Digby to St.John, in March, 1787.The son was drowned in his efforts to swim to the land, while the father and the two daughters perished from cold and exposure after they had reached the shore.The British Government allowed the surviving children, Sarah, Mary, Thomas, Samuel and Charles, each L1,000sterling.Sarah married Wm.Botsford, father of the late Judge Wm.

Botsford, and grandfather of Senator Botsford; Mary married Col.Joshua Upham, afterwards Chief Justice of New Brunswick.Thomas Chandler, M.P.P., a lawyer of eminence, died at Pictou.His wife, Elizabeth Grant, was an aunt of Sam.Slick, whose name was Thomas Chandler Haliburton.Samuel Chandler was also in the Legislature of Nova Scotia for many years, representing Colchester County.He married Susan Watson.His eldest son was the late Judge James W.Chandler, of Westmoreland, Charles H.Chandler was Sheriff of Cumberland for thirty-eight years.Among his children were Sheriff Joshua Chandler, of Amherst, and the late Lieutenant-Governor E.B.Chandler, of Dorchester.The three sons of Col.Joshua Chandler in the early part of the last century, lived in the township of Cumberland for a time and conducted a general trading business.Their brother-in-law, William Botsford, was also a resident of the township at the same time.

FORSTER.--George Forster was from Yorkshire and settled in Amherst, N.S.One of his sons settled in Fort Lawrence, and another, Ralph, in Point de Bute.Ralph subsequently went to Upper Canada.The Forsters were Methodists, and it is doubtful if any of that Yorkshire band of Bible loving men and women equalled the Forsters in their veneration for the Word of God and its teachings as they understood it.

CAREY.--The Careys belonged to the Scotch-Irish immigration that came to Eastern Canada between 1815 and 1830.The family landed here about the year 1822.Robert settled near Halifax; John came to New Brunswick and bought a property at Port Elgin, near the village of Bay Verte, where he built a grist and carding mill, and successfully conducted a large business for many years.He married Caroline Chappell and had a family of seven children.There are some of the descendants, but none of the name living in Bay Verte at this date.Leslie Carey, of Sackville, and Everett Carey, of California, are grandsons of John Carey.

DOHERTY.

REXTON, KENT, July 4th, 1902.
