Over 1,500 family names with birth, death and many marriage dates are recorded in this book with 220 photos and maps, 13 family trees, and 27 pages of family lineages for use in genealogy research. Scroll through images to see where your family is in the book!
The British created Lower Canada in 1791, including an unnamed township (later Dundee) north of the 45th parallel border with New York State, west of St. Anicet and south of the St. Lawrence River. In 1796, St. Regis First Nation Reserve (now Akwesasne) was created, encompassing Dundee and a portion of New York west past the village of St. Regis.
After the War of 1812, Britain encouraged St. Regis to lease their Dundee lands to Scottish and Irish emigrants. Highlighted in this book are 11 Scottish families who settled within Isle of Skye Settlement along Broken Front Road (Route 132) fronting Lake St. Francis.
Another 3 Scottish families (McNicols, Stewarts, McPhersons) settled in Maybank immediately east of Dundee in future St. Anicet. A Brunson Loyalist family leased land near “Fraser’s Point” and the Haineault, Quenneville families bought leases held previously by Scottish emigrants. The Stirrats and Caldwells were related to Smellie’s who lived beside the author on Route 132.
Part I of four Dundee Neighbours books focuses on the 19 settler families identified above. Many of their descendants inherited their parent’s Indigenous leases in the 1800s before converting them to clear titles after the leasing Enquiry of 1888.
