Saint John County

Moved here verbatim from my own talk page, as this seems the proper place.

Get it straight, Please. Alma Parish resided in what was Saint John County. Do not roll back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Placeographer77 (talk • contribs) 16:20, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

YOur Majesty. "WHEREAS his most gracious Majesty, by his Royal Letters Patent under the Great Seal of this Province, bearing date the 18th day of May, 1785, was pleased to erect and constitute into one distinct and separate County, all that tract or district of Land situate in this Province, bounded southerly on the Bay of Fundy, easterly by Hopewell Township, and a line running from the north-west corner of said Township, due north into the Country, northerly by a line running east-north-east, and west-south-west, from the southern-most point of the Kennebeckacis Island, lying at the mouth of the river Kennebeckacis, where it joins the river Saint John, and westerly by a due north line from point Le Proe, in the Bay of Fundy aforesaid. And did thereby ordain, establish and declare that all and singular the Lands and Waters comprised within the limits aforesaid, should forever thereafter be, continue and remain a distinct and separate County, and including the City of Saint John, should be called, known and distinguished by the name of the City and County of Saint John."

Nope. Part of Alma County was part of Saint John but the county line was moved west eight years before Albert County was erected and 17 years before Alma was erected. The northern boundary of Saint John County didn't change, just the eastern one. Not even all of the modern village of Alma was south of the county line. And please produce proof that the modern Alma-Harvey boundary is the same as the western boundary of Hopewell before its expansion.

I've gone through every single iteration and amendment of the Territorial Division Act from its inception and have them all on my computer. I've even run the text through a text comparison site.

You have replaced properly cited material with disproven myth that has even been corrected on the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick website, both county guides and specific entry for the county.

Please fully consult cited material before making further edits. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 16:39, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Since I wrote my response before you edited yours, I'll say stop citing something from 1785 as if nothing changed until seventy years later. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 16:44, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@G. Timothy Walton @User:Tali64^2 Please provide your source for where "Alma is sometimes erroneously described as including part of [[Saint John County,Alma is sometimes erroneously described as including part of [[Saint John County,"

Perhaps there is a common mistake you are trying to clear up. Please provide where this is found to be mistaken. It's not a valuable contribution to the article as it is.
