She could get no promise from him that the estate at Grimross Neck would be restored to her husband, or that any compensation would be granted in its stead.

Nothing seems to have been done in her interest, and she left Halifax deeply disappointed in her mission.
Trouble had recently arisen between the people settled at the mouth of the St.John and the authorities at Halifax.

Instead of one Province she was informed that there were now two Provinces.

She determined to cross over to Parrtown, and see what she could accomplish by visiting the estate personally.

With the letter from Sydney to Governor Parr, she took a certificate of survey, which read as follows: This may certify, that by the desire of Captain -- --, I have laid nine hundred acres of land on the Peninsular or place called Grimross Neck, in the Township of Gage, on the River St.John, beginning at the Portage and running down the river about two miles and a quarter to a maple tree marked, thence running S.W.till it meets Grimross Creek, thence up the said Creek to the Portage, thence crossing the Portage to the first mentioned bounds.
