John Harford says he began to clear at Madawaska
point in 1815 and was encouraged to do so by Simon Hebert. He cleared 2
acres, built a log house, and remained there during the year, but at length
was driven away by Simon Hebert and the Indians. Hebert refused to pay him
anything for his improvements and now has the lot in possession. We were
subsequently told Harford had sold his claim to John Baker |
