Dale,
Grand Lake Park has a camper/and perhaps tenting area that you can stay at. Don't count on my comfortable lodging as Minto is a small town and has no hotels/motels. Once in town you can ask just about anyone for directions to Fanjoy's Point...most folks would know and all would be willing to tell you. I'll be there next month for my grandmother's 85th birthday party. Love being in the area when I get the chance! Enjoy!!

Hi, CoriLeighL. Thanks for the info. I'll plan accordingly for lodging or whatever. I spent a week in NB, PEI and "New Scotland" 1 1/2 yrs ago searching. This time, though, I have some great leads which appear to be quite solid and hope to be able to follow through on them. The distances don't seem to be overwhelming. I've been in NH for 2 1/2 yrs after 25 in AZ where everything's few and far between. The Atlantic Provinces, esp. NB, are really beautiful. Thank you very much. Dale

Search the Land Grant index for New Brunswick. Benjamin Bailey is there twice in Sudbury County. Also a long list of BAILEY'S.

Surnames: Bailey DeWitt
"John is now living at Newcastle, Queen's, aged 86 years. His wife's maiden name was Mary Duette."
I believe his wife's maiden name should be Mary DeWitt.

I believe Benjamin Bailey came directly from London to Chaleur Bay after his 1774 marriage, and at least one of their children was born there:

Obituary of daughter Susannah Bailey Smith offers proof of Place of Birth

Joan Davis and Janice Seeley's Sunbury County Happenings, Vol. 1, p. 7 contains the following from the Religious Intelligencer (Saint John, N.B.) of 25 Jul 1856: "Died At Blissville, Sunbury County, on the 15th inst., Mrs. Susannah, relict of the late Clapman Smith, Esq., in the 82nd year of her age, leaving 8 surviving sons and 2 daughters, with a large number of grand and great grandchildren. Mrs. Smith was born at the Bay Chaleur, to which her parents had emigrated from London. They removed to the Saint John River when she was about 4 years old. Her father was a truly pious and devoted disciple of Christ, and for many years sustained the public worship of God. When 17 years of age she was married to Mr. Smith, by whom she had 15 children; one died in infancy, another in early years, all the rest professed faith in the Savior. During the last 13 years she had been a widow, waiting for the time of her departure. During the last 2 or 3 years her faculties failed so far that at times she did not recollect her own friends, even her own children were sometimes forgotten by her, but at no time did she forget her Savior."
