JOHNSTON, NICHOLAS
SIMPSON, HENRY

The Memorial of Henry Simpson humbly sheweth That your Memorialist is a Native of the County of Armagh in Ireland, and did permanent Duty as a volunteer nearly two years during the Disturbances in 1805 and 6.

He came to this Country in 1817 with a direction or order from Earl Bathurst to Sir J. C. Sherbrook, Governor of Lower Canada, to furnish him with two hundred Acres of Land, but the Ship in which He with other Emigrants had taken their passage, either through Stress of Weather, or Design of the Master, came to Saint Andrews.

That your Memorialist being a stranger to the moods of applying for Land, and being informed there was a Tract of Crown Land reserved on the Fredericton Road commencing near the head of Waweig River, He in 1820 built a comfortable House, cleared about three acres of Land and removed to it. Your Memorialist is thirty eight years old, married and has six Sons and a Daughter. He never has received any Land from Government. He has the means and it is His Intention should his Application be complied with, to continue improving according to the Royal Instructions, and He has not agreed for the Sale or Transfer of this Land to any person or persons whatsoever.

Your Memorialist being informed that there is a prospect of those reserves being laid open for Settlement, and that a number of person are now applying, most humbly prays that your Excellency will be pleased to pardon his unintentional Trespass, and grant Him two hundred Acres of Land on the road above mentioned leading from Saint Andrews to Fredericton, commencing at the 15 mile tree, being on the South Eastern side of the road, and extending North Easterly along the same, with such Front as to your Excellency may seem fit.

Your Memorialist is aware that the Situation applied for by Nicholas Johnston and others will either take in his Improvements, or come very near then, but trusts your Excellency will be pleased to direct that should their location reach to his Clearing, the same may not be taken from him~ The whole is in a Wilderness State except the three Acres before mentioned~ And your Memorialist as in Duty bound will ever pray~

Saint Andrews 14th March 1821

Henry Simpson

Should the Land asked for by Nicholas Johnson and others be laid out in two tiers of lots, as expressed in their Memorial, there will be sufficient Front for them without interfering with Simpson.

C. Campbello
Depy. Surv.

Personally appeared before me Donald McLachlan Esquire one of his Majesty?s Justices of the Peace for the County of Charlotte, the above Henry Simpson, and made Oath to the Truth of the facts stated in his Memorial, on this day and year above written.

Don. McLachlan, J. P.

The situation herein described is part of the Great Reserve from the Crown and does not interfere with any application.
