La seigneurie de Shoolbred
|
| Abstract |
The Shoolbred Seigneury on the Baie des Chaleurs was granted to John Shoolbred, a London merchant, by Governor General Lord Dorchester in 1788. The seigneury comprised a large strip of land about one to two kilometres long that ran along the Ristigouche River. It began at Pointe-à-la-Garde and ended at the present-day boundary between the municipalities of Nouvelle and Saint-Omer. John Shoolbred never lived on his seigneury. In 1801 it was left to his son James, a merchant from Charleston, North Carolina. He resold it in 1809 to Matthew Stewart, a merchant from Saint-Omer.
