Their business contract was signed on the 1st of March, 1764. In the course of a year or two the character of the original company was essentially altered by the death of Richard Simonds, the retirement of Samuel Blodget and Richard Peaslie and the admission of Leonard Jarvis as a new partner.
The list of household goods and chattels, the property of Simonds and White, was a very meagre one indeed. The more common and necessary articles of furniture such as bedsteads, tables, benches, etc., were probably manufactured on the premises by means of the carpenter's axe, adze, hammer and saw.
These French people were chiefly Acadians living at what is now called French Village, in Kings county. They were at that time employed by Simonds & White in building an aboideau and dykeing the marsh. In one respect the Indians perhaps did better than the English or the Acadians, for at the close of their service Mr.
After a time, Isabelle asked irrelevantly: "John, why couldn't you give that man the cars he wanted?" "Because I had no orders to do so." "But aren't there cars to be had when the other company gets them?" "There don't happen to be any cars for Simonds. The road is friendly to Mr. Freke."
For some reason the sum of £30 voted by the Council of Nova Scotia for the erection of the building was never paid, and it remained the property of Hazen, Simonds and White. The three partners not long afterwards cleared a road to the Indian House, the course of which was nearly identical with that of the present "Main street."
Simonds a few weeks afterwards carried a portion of the goods to Windsor in the schooner "Polly" and disposed of them as well as he could. The next year was a decidedly uncomfortable one for the people living at Portland Point. In the month of May two privateers entered the harbor, remaining more than a week.

If young cattle are cheap at your place we recommend sending some every opportunity; the growth of them is profitable, and the King's Instructions to the Government are that three cattle be kept on every fifty acres of land granted."
But on the way down to hall, he overheard Mansell talking to Tester in the door of the changing-room. "Simonds is going to play Caruthers in the Three Cock instead of Henry, if he plays at all decently to-day," Mansell was saying. "Oh, I am glad of that," Tester answered. "He's a good kid." The earth swayed dizzily as Gordon made his way down to hall. He did not feel at all nervous.
The names of the majority of the Maugerville grantees appear in the account books kept by Simonds and White at their store at Portland Point and a lot of interesting family history might be gleaned from the old faded pages. There are other items of interest in the records of the old County of Sunbury. In nearly all the early settlements made on the River St.
Leonard Jarvis wrote to James Simonds on April 3, 1765, "There has not been in the memory of man such a winter as the last and we hope there never will be again." Mr. Simonds in his reply says "The winter has been much here as in New England." In the same letter just referred to Mr.
