A door-to-door history of South Devon (formerly 'Gibson'), York County, New Brunswick, Canada (1878-1945). Just over 1,200 acres in size, the former Town of Devon is situated on the northern banks of the St. John River across from Fredericton, the Capital City of New Brunswick. Devon became a Town in 1917 when the communities of St. Mary’s Ferry (North Devon) and Gibson (South Devon) united. The Village of Gibson, named after the entrepreneur Alexander “Boss” Gibson (1819-1913), who had businesses there as well as extensive holdings in Marysville and lumber woods in central New Brunswick. The center of Gibson was the intersection of MacLin or Macklin Street (Union Street) and Miles Avenue (Gibson Street). Volume 2 is partly based on property that was originally granted to certain Loyalists of the Maryland Regiment after the American Revolution. These grants ran from the Saint John River in New Brunswick northward in narrow strips. Most of the Loyalists did not come to take up their grant and so lost them. Others sold their land or allowed it to be passed down and subdivided through the family inheritance. The properties from the old railroad track, now the Northside Walking Trail, on Gibson Street to the Marysville line are included in this section. This was the property of Loyalist Stair Agnew (1757-1821), which was subsequently acquired by Robert Macklin (1796-1878). On the east side of Gibson Street the property was also Agnew land, which was later to become the Miles Farm. By 1945 all of the above land had been subdivided into several properties, which are featured in this book. The houses and businesses are arranged numerically on their particular streets. The streets are presented alphabetically in individual chapters. The introductory photos of each address are placed on either the left or right side of the page, depending on their civic house number. All surnames featured in this volume are listed with their appropriate street name. Each family is featured only once. The surnames listed with each address are those chronicled in that particular house, even though those families may have lived elsewhere during their life in Devon. Chapters include: Babbitt Street, Clark Street, Gibson Street (#199 - #501), Gill Street, Neill Street, Pine Street, Union Street (#616-#751), Devon Cemeteries, and Devon Fire & Water Commissions. In 1945 South Devon, along with North Devon (Vol.3 & 4), amalgamated with the City of Fredericton and thus Devon ceased to exist, except in the hearts and memories of its residents.
