Leasing St. Regis Indigenous Reserve Land – Part II
Fraser’s Pt. Sunnyside & Sherwood Farms – 1815-1950
Original Isle of Skye Settlers – James (1789), John (1796) & Alexander (1791) Fraser
@350 pages
Part II focusses on James, John and Alexander Fraser and descendants who inherited their Indigenous leases in the 1800s, then converted them to clear titles after the leasing Enquiry of 1888. Over 600 family names with birth, death and many marriage dates are recorded in this book with 360 photos and maps, 7 family trees and 11 pages of lineage names showing genealogy research as far back as 1000 A.D. southeast of Paris, France. 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 & Irish emigrants. Highlighted in this book are three Fraser brother immigrants and their ancestors who settled in the Isle of Skye Settlement between 1817 and 1821. They lived along Broken Front Road (Route 132) fronting Lake St. Francis.
James’ family developed “Fraser’s Point”; John’s family were farmers and were politically motivated; and the author’s great, great grandfather Alexander lived on property within eyesight of his brother James across Sherwood Creek. These Fraser ancestors remained in Dundee for three generations until most all baby boomers after World War II did not remain on the farm.
