Take Notice: "Hemp History Week" is June 2018 ... more to follow .. in the coming weeks and months.... I'm also recommending people keep up with the work of former Tantramar resident Rick Simpson at his publishing company simpsonramadur.com .. Rick's advocacy work for this plant is unmatched in Canada ... Happy Birthday on November 30th Rick.. a true Cdn hero.
So the historical record for Tantramar shows us that:
In 1767, Sackville had already made considerable progress. A return made by Lieut. Governor Franklin, embracing a census of the 30 townships into which the Province was then divided, shows Sackville had then a population of 349 persons, 343 of whom were Americans. It possessed also the following:-- Horses 48 Oxen 133 Cows 250 Young head cattle 347 Swine 63 Grist Mills 1 Saw 1 Produce in 1766-- Wheat, bus.-- 1035 Rye, bus. 1278 Pease, bus. 53 Barley, bus. 35 Oats, bus. 34 Hemp seed 10 1/2 Flax seed 53 Flax 9 Born during the year 26 Died 6 In 1763, a petition from Cumberland for land grants was sent to the government. Amongst the names on the petition were: Brook Watson, John Horton and Alex and William of the same name, Joseph Moore, Elijah Ayre, Obediah Ayre, Joseph Ayre, Samuel Gay and Martin Gay, Jonathan Eddy, Jonathan Coe, Daniel Gooden, Charles Oulton, Liffy Chappel, Jabez Chappell, Anthony Buck, Abel Richardson, George Allen, Nehemiah Ward, John Fillmore.
