"The most important event in the settlement of the Digby township, though, came on February 20, 1784 when soliciting agent Amos Botsford and three hundred New York refugees were awarded through a General Grant, sixty-five thousand six hundred acres, the Botsford Grant. It was bounded by the Joggin, the Sissiboo River, St. Mary’s Bay, Petit Passage, the Bay of Fundy and the Basin."[3]
