Winslow Papers - Original of Rev. Walter Price's Report on the Parish of St. Mary's, York Co.

Dated August 8, 1803, the original has been transcribed by Rev. W.O. Raymond in 1901 on behalf of New Brunswick Historical Society.

The report references 903 residents in the parish (mostly children) and two lakes, now known as Lake Killarney and Lake Carelton, the latter being "... of no consequence owing to its inland situation."

The remainder of the report references resources and potential farmland although "[n]o experiments however in this article have been made owing perhaps to the necessity the settlers are under of first attending to the provisions of Life and the want of surplus labor beyond the object, or the ignorance of the settlers in the culture & manufacture of it."

Rev. Walter Price also notes that "[i]ntroducing Africans to this climate will I doubt be found ineffectual."
