Summary:
In 1769-70 Lieutenant Governor Michael Franklin went to north Yorkshire, England to seek immigrants for Nova Scotia (which at that time included the later New Brunswick). He especially had in mind the strategically important isthmus of Chignecto. Many of the New England Planters who had moved to the region following the deportaion of the Acadians in 1755 were giving up and moving back south. Franklin's efforts prompted the "Yorkshire Immigration" of 1772-75 when over 1000 settlers left Yorkshire to settle in the area. In contrast to the New England Planters, the immigrants from Yorkshire were mostly tenant farmers in Yorkshire and crossed the Atlantic "in order to seek a better livelihood". For the most part these Yorkshire settlers did not receive grants from the government, but came with enough money to purchase their lands from New England Planters who were leaving their lands.
