Beaver Harbour is an unincorporated fishing village in the Parish of Pennfield, Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada. It is located east of Blacks Harbour and south of Pennfield. ==History== Beaver Harbour was settled in September 1783, by the "Quaker Company" the (spokesmen) agents for which were Joshua Knight, Samuel Fairlamb and John Rankin. The "Quaker Company" was composed almost entirely of members and former members of the Society of Friends from Pennsylvania and New Jersey 〔 Among these were the family of John and Susanna Jackson from Chester County, Pennsylvania. One of their children, Thomas, was born there in 1788. They had all returned to Baltimore County, Maryland and to Chester County, Pennsylvania by 1795. John died in Baltimore in 1795. Also Gideon and Phoebe Vernon and their children, of Neither Providence Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania〕 who being Loyalists left the City of New York upon its evacuation by the British Army at the end of the American Revolution. A number of the men had served as military loyalists, thus the company was in some ways a United Empire Loyalist counterpart to the “Patriot” “Free Friends” 〔 John and Betsy Ross (of the U.S. flag story), were members of the "Free Friends".〕 In 1790 this settlement Bellevu or Bellveue was largely destroyed by a forest fire and most of the members of the "Quaker Company" dispersed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beaver Harbour, New Brunswick」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
