To the best of my knowledge there is no Penobscot in New Brunswick. The
Penobscot River runs through Bangor, Maine. There is a community of that
name just down river from Bangor.

There is a Penobsquis in NB, about 4-5 miles east of Sussex.

If I remember my history correctly, during the period of the revolutionary
war (1775-1783), which produced the Loyalists, New Brunswick had not been
in existence. The area known as Nova Scotia included present day NB, and I
seem to recall went all the way to the Penobscot River.

Please refresh my memory if I am incorrect.

Cheers, Jim
