Acadian dwellings, also possibly a cemetery, on the Point, the grass- covered headland behind Stanhope Beach Lodge, but no trace of these can be found today.

The two families of Stanhope Acadians were still here when the Scottish settlers arrived on the Falmouth on June 8, 1770; mention is made in William Drummond’s diary of a visit to a French family for a wedding party on December 31, 1770, and next day, New Year’s, the French visited the Scots and “made a frolic”. We can find no further reference to these Acadians; it is possible that they moved to Malpeque or Rustico, where there were larger numbers of Acadians; they were all under constant fear of deportation. The census of 1798 lists a Chaisson (Shasong) in Lot 17, and another in Lot 24. Acadian registers give a Marguerite Boudreau (.9 Boudrot) as wife of Brazil Gallant in Lot 24. Otherwise our Acadians seem to have vanished without trace.
