Charles Oulton remained in Cumberland, and a large number of his descendants are still living in the county of Westmoreland. David Burnham remained, and a number of his descendants lived in Sackville and Bay Verte for a good many years. The name has now disappeared. John Fillmore was from New England, and settled in Jolicure. He had a large family of sons and they settled in different parts of the Province. The name is still in frequent evidence. The descendants of Samuel Raymond live in King's County. The two Chappells, Liffy and Jabez, settled in Bay Verte and Tidnish. The name is still common in these localities.

The Bonnells remained in the county for a time, but afterwards removed to King's County, where the name still exists. |
