Yes, I have been able to verify the burial of Jean Baptiste Masson who had multiple wives. I have an extract from the Catholic Church Records of Notre Dame de l'assomption (1846-1855) in Stanbridge as the "veuf" (widower) of defuncte Reine Hamiel dite Lusignan a Louise Paquette. Burial en Ste. Edouard de Knowlton Missisquoi.

Hope this can help you.

Hi Sue,

I was born & raised in Knowlton & know for a fact that there are two cem's in Knowlton. There is St-Edouard's Catholic & the Knowlton Protestant a.k.a. Wheeler Cem. Both of these cemeteries are on St.Paul's Rd.in Knowlton.

I've included many more names than what are listed on Interment.net having found they original church records on Ancestry.com. The list you posted was from the Protestant Cem.

Hi,
St.Edourd is the Catholic church in Knowlton and as far as I know Knowlton Cemetery is the only one in the town. I grew up there so know exactly where it is. I am including a link to the names of those buried there and there are some Masson's although not Jean Baptiste. Could they be relatives? Not all names have been transcribed as my father is buried there and he's not on this list. Hope this helps a little.

New Books of Brome County Cemeteries

BrendaWilsonBirch49 — 2013-02-15 16:11:36Z

I have compiled a new book, the first of many of the Brome County Cemeteries. This book is dedicated to our Veterans & British Home Children. It includes the cemeteries of Knowlton,QC, the Protestant a.k.a. Wheeler Cem. & St-Edouard's Catholic Cem.

Both list are done in alphabetical order & includes many names & dates not found on any other lists. The Catholic Cemetery has been moved twice before finally settling on St-Paul's Rd. in Knowlton next to the Protestant Cemetery & I have included many of the missing names & dates. In both cem's I have included extra data to that on the actual stones, ex: maiden names, parents & some marriage dates.

My intention is to continue producing books until I have updated lists of all the Brome County Cem's. These will include cem's in all of the following townships Ex: Brome,Sutton,Bolton,Potton & Farnham Twps.

The Knowlton Cemetery book includes about 200 pages & sells for $30.00 plus a $9.00 mailing fee. All books will include a map of Brome County & are protected by clear plastic covers front & back.

For anyone that is interested I also have 6 different books that include all of the cemeteries in Missisquoi County,QC.

Orders can be placed with me at: brendadawnwilson@gmail.com or can be ordered from the Brome County Historical Society in Knowlton, QC, the Missisquoi Historical Society in Stanbridge East & the Quebec Family History Society in Montreal,QC.

If you have any questions about my books please feel free to contact me.

Hi June,

Actually we are STILL trying to find out if your William N. Mills b. 1815 is a son of my Moses but no proof. My grandfather had the Moses Mills family bible at the time he was contributing/writing to Rev. Ernest Taylor who wrote the Brome Historical Hist. book where he does NOT mention a William as a son of Moses.
We are trying to find William's official birth record in maybe Topsham VT where Moses was with his other kids. No luck yet. INFO. on this has already been published with no proof. A guy added it to my line that I sent to the BHSociety and it got accidently published with Wm. as a son before he could take him off.
BUT hey, write me at my email and I have another person Sue F. who is also on your exact line.

Re: New Books of Brome County Cemeteries

swissmissalps — 2013-02-03 15:08:49Z

I have been sending requests for assistance from Arlene at the Brome Museum with very little direction or response. I don't know why. Perhaps you can verify the burial of my great great great grandfather. He was Jean Baptiste Masson born in Brome in 1814, married to Marie Louise Pacquet in 1848 in Stanbridge. I am related through their son Joseph born in 1849 in Dunham. Jean Baptiste died in Knowlton on Nov 7, 1883. He was buried at St. Edourd. Is this the church or cemetery? Is there a way to verify this? Thanks for any help you may offer. Linda

Re: Rev. Asher Smith

pewter56 — 2012-11-25 02:20:18Z

I am hoping to find someone who may know about Rev. Asher Smith's brother, John Smith b. 1 July, 1779 in Sandifield. In the original handwritten record John is listed after Asher. Do you know anything about him, what happened to the mother, Sarah Smith, after the father, Joel died? Anything will be helpful. Thank you.

Re: Rev. Asher Smith

pewter56 — 2012-11-10 03:03:44Z

I may be related to Asher Smith. One of his brothers was John Smith, b. 1 July 1779. Do you have an obiturary on Rev. Asher Smith who died in Brome Co. Quebec, 20 Aug. 1865? I would like to find more information on this family, esp. John Smith. If this John Smith is my great great grandfather, he married Amy Thornton. They lived in Lucerne Co. PA, Tioga Co. PA, Allegany Co. NY, Mercer Co. PA. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Levi Sturdevant and Elizabeth Hunt

RCSnyder2 — 2012-08-21 15:32:09Z

The only HUNT/STURTEVANT connection I have is the following: John Elias Hunt, b. ca. 1800, place uncertain, m. 3 Jun 1860 in Leeds Co., Ontario, Canada, as his second wife, Sarah Sturtevant, b. ca. 1799 at Elgin, Leeds Co., Ontario. I have ancestry for John Elias, who's first wife was Laura Williams. This HUNT family was in the Mississquoi District of Quebec from about 1797 into the mid-1800s. Most of them relocated to Leeds County. I don't know if this is helpful or not. You can contact me directly at rcsnyder2 AT earthlink DOT net. Ignore my spamblocker... I'll get your message.

Re: Levi Sturdevant and Elizabeth Hunt

LarryBarrows68 — 2012-08-20 20:40:00Z

They also had a son named John Hebert Sturtevant (Some records show him as James Hebert) who married a Alice COmstock. They were married in 1889 in Richford Vermont. Alice was from Shefford but her family had moved to Vermont. After the marriage they returned to Vermont and I know Alice is buried in South Sweet Cemetery. Have you ever found any definite records for Levi and Elizabeth? I have their marriage record, but it does not list the parents of either. I am also stuck on Alice's parents, Charles and Mary ?

I'm not related but have been discussing this couple lately. Do you have a record of the 1864 marriage between Joseph Nelson Fadden & Elizabeth Sawyer. If so, would you please share what this register says.

Also, do you have Elizabeth's birth register or her baptismal record?

Note towards the end of this message you will see that Nelson remarried in 1887 in Iowa; then the next record is their daughter's marriage which showed that she was born in Nebraska abt 1892, although she married in Iowa in 1911. I'm not sure if this is new information or not.

Lent and Ayers/Ayres connections

OldBorders — 2010-05-26 00:29:57Z

I can't tell you a whole lot about them, but I can comment that William G Lent and his wife, Henrietta, seem to have been entangled in the lives of my Ayers/Ayres ancestors in New York.

In 1850 Eliza A. Lent (age 24, b NY) was living in West Farms, Westchester County, with Albert Ayers and his wife, Eliza. The 1860 census for West Farms is unfortunately illegible, but in 1870 Kate Lent (age 20, b NY) was living there with Albert and Eliza. And in 1880 Henrietta Lent (age 58 and, I think, the mother of Kate) was boarding with Albert and Eliza on Fordham RR Avenue -- apparently that's what their area of West Farms became in Westchester County, later around 173rd street, I think, when it was merged with New York City.

BTW, Albert's wife's middle name started with 'C' (Eliza C. Ayres). Might she too have been a Cook? An Eliza A. Lent -- likely the one staying with Albert and Eliza Ayres in 1850 -- married my second-great grand-uncle Phinney Ayers in New York City; their daughter Fremene Grace Ayers married a Fairchild in 1888.

Well, I'm more interested in the Ayers/Ayres line, since its an ancestral line of mine, but your Lents do get caught up in it. They all seem to have long-term roots in West Farms, Westchester County.

My name is Heather Stone, and my maternal grandfather was William Wallace Lovie, born in Victoria in 1895.(I live in Melbourne). His father was John Francis Taylor Lovie, who married Elizabeth Hamilton in 1892. I think John may have arrived in Victoria on the "Star of China" in March, 1887 aged 21.

My notes: Mary and John had 9 children and
lived in the Mooers, New York area which is not far from here.

Sadly, I have no childrens names from this union.

I show John as being the son of Cristopher Pickle and Marinda Sweet.
my notes on Christopher:
Christopher was born about 1766. After he married he lived in Vt. until
about 1820 when I believe he moved back into Quebec for a period of years then he is back in Clinton Co. NY in the 1840 census age 70-79.
He was sometimes called Stuffel.

Brill Family. Excerpts from the book entitled: '''CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE HISTORY OF THE EASTERN TOWNSHIPS,'' by Cyrus Thomas.

BRILL / SARGENT / SARGEANT:
Fishkill, Dutchess Co., N.Y., to Canada to Medina Co., Ohio.
.
Alfred Sargent/Sargeant was born in 1805 in Canada; and, died after 1880, in Medina County, Ohio.
Alfred Sargent married IRENE BRILL, daughter of WILLIAM BRILL and Eunice D. Chapman. IRENE BRILL was born in 1807, in St. Armand, OR West Bolton Township, Brome, Quebec, Lower Canada. IRENE BRILL SARGEANT died in Medina County, Ohio, in about 1883.
.
According the biography of Alfred Sargent/Sargeant, WILLIAM BRILL (father of Irene BRILL Sargent), was born in Dutchess Co., New York, at Fishkill, in the year 1777.
In about 1807, WILLIAM BRILL migrated to Bolton, Canada. Also according to the book, below, WILLIAM BRILL's brother, JOHN BRILL, had settled in Bolton a few years earlier.
It appears that some of the Brill family may have also resided in Saint-Armand Township, Quebec, Canada before settling in Bolton.

Excerpt from:.

'CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE HISTORY OF THE EASTERN TOWNSHIPS of a work containing an account of the early settlement of St. Armand, Dunham, Sutton, Brome, Potton, and Bolton':

West Bolton.
''SETTLERS came into this part of the township as early as 1800. John Brill, from St. Armand, but formerly from Fishkill, New York, settled here about that time. The lot where he settled, and which he cleared, is now owned by J.S. Brill. He became a captain of militia in this township; he was a useful citizen, a man of integrity, and an active member of the Methodist church. He died in 1856. . . .
.
[snip snip]
.
In 1807, William Brill, brother to John Brill, settled on the lot now owned and occupied by Franklin Stone. After living here a year, he went to Philipsburg, and for four years managed the farm of Lodwick Streit.
.
He then returned to Bolton, and spent the remainder of his days on the lot above-mentioned. He was an industrious and upright man; he died in 1854, at the age of seventy-seven; he has only two children, daughters. One married Franklin Stone in 1823. Mr. Stone has lived in Bolton ever since that period, and been an active, enterprising citizen, and has held municipal offices.
.
The other daughter of Mr. Brill lives in Ohio. ''

Hello, I was going through the Quebec Msg. boards to find info on the Johnsons. I know this posting is quite old, but I am looking for info on my ggggrandfather Samuel Johnson born around 1790 who is on the 1851 census for Missisquoi County subdistrict Standbridge. Could this be the same person you were looking for?

Linda, the Vermont Families in 1791 has two volumes (a third is on its way to being published). The Benjamin Hammond pages are in Volume 2.

I can send you those pages by email, if you are willing to put your email address in this space. Virginia

Linda, I do have information regarding all of the families about whom you ask. Most of my information is about the Hammond family, but I have corresponded with several who are rather closely related to you. If you will find a copy of the book, "Vermont Families in 1791" edited by Scott Bartley, and published by the VT Historical Society, you will find much Hammond information including Elizabeth Hammond Ketzebach and other members of the family of Benjamin and Zilpha ____Hammond. You also will find my mailing address there, since I submitted the information. Then you can contact me directly. The information I have is too much to send here.
