MDCCCXXIX. *.. ftf * YTW^ PREFACE. The Proprietor, in preseuung to hit Patrons the MoKXftXAi. Aluanack for 1880^ deems it unnecessary to enter into any ex- planations of the pains and expense to which h« has been to insure its correctness —to increase its value—and to render it a useful companion to the counting-house and office. By comparing it with that of last year, several additions will be perceptible, and some alterations made, which it is hoped will prove an im- provement upon the plan adopted in the last publication. The Editor deems it necessary to state, that with a view of obtaining, with certainty, the various lists, applications have been made to the different Departments, who have always furnished the information required, and thus enabled the Editor to publish with greater certainty than if merely dependant upon private informa- tion. To the Provincial Secretary he has again to return his sincere thanks for the accommodation and facility with which he was permitted to copy the dates of the Commissions granted since last year—a plan which it is intended shall be continued in suc- ceeding volumes. The different heads introduced into last year's Almakack have been variously modified, and a vast quantity of very useful infor- mation thrown into the Appendix—a portion of the work which it is intended to enrich each year with statistical tables of value and rarity, and for which assurances of support from several very competent individuals have been received. Change* and alteration! have occurred, o( course, Juring (he publication of the work,— more numerous perhaps, from the UHavoidable delay which has prevented its appcarrtnce at an earlier period, as intended, but these changes ai-e so very trifling, that it if not deciueJ necessary to give a list of "alterations while printing." The Editor feels grateful to those *vho, during the progress of the work, favoured him with several hints fur its improvement, knd correction of en'ors, which were to be found in last Almanack, •ad he begs a continuance of their favours. Gentlemen appointed us Physicians and Surgeonf, Notarie>, Surveyors, &c. are requested to iVirnish the Editor with their places of residence, as it is these classes which he finds it most difficult to have correct. In conclusion, it may be necessary to ray that the arrangement of the dtfi'erent ofRccrs or public bodies in this publication, though as fterfect as circumstances will permit, cannot in any wikc affect •ny precedencei to which either of them respectively ma^ be «atitl«d.

  • L'histoire D'yamachiche # 7 (Août 2012)
    L’histoire d’Yamachiche La famille Gugy Cette famille fut très importante pour notre municipalité et la région entière. Le 17 novembre 1980, le conseil municipal désigne une rue du nom de Conrad-Gugy. Conrad, né à La Haye au Pays-Bas vers 1734, fut jeune lieutenant de la 60e infanterie du Royal American au côté de Wolfe lors de la bataille des Plaines d'Abraham, le 13 septembre 1759. Il fut secrétaire particulier, confident et conseiller du gouverneur Frederick Haldimand du district de Trois-Rivières en 1763 et parlait aussi bien le français que l'anglais. L'année suivante, il laisse son poste pour acquérir les seigneuries de Grosbois Ouest et de Grandpré. Une première seigneurie canadienne passait à un homme entièrement dédié à l'Angleterre et ce sera celle d'Yamachiche. Conrad développa le « Domaine » qui comprenait le manoir en 1764 et le moulin à farine en 1772 qui étaient situés sur les terres de Monsieur Jacques Bergeron entre l’autoroute 40 et le 320 Gérin-Lajoie. Le Chemin du Roi passait directement sur son « Domaine ». De plus, plusieurs secteurs se développèrent : Grosbois Ouest; Petites-Terres; Village des Caron; Village de la Mission et la route de la Chicane. Il acheta trois autres seigneuries en 1771 : Dumontier, Frédérick (secteur des Forges) et Rivière-du-Loup (partie de St-Léon-le-Grand). C’est à St-Léon-le-Grand qu’il découvrit en 1783, une source d’eau minérale salée en grande quantité et en garde l’exploitation, mais cède la terre qui contient la dite source à Louis et François Paillé, d’oùnaîtra en 1849 l’histoire de « La Saline ».

Macaulay's History of England. The accompanying lists of officers, who served during the war of 1812-15, are compiled from the records of the grants of land made in Upper Canada to officers, non-commissioned officers and men who had served in "the first flank Companies, the Provincial Artillery, the Incorporated Regiment, the Corps of Artillery Drivers, the Provincial Dragoons, the Marine and General Staff of the Army,"* and in Lower Canada, to "the officers and men of the Embodied Militia, discharged troops and others."** All those who participated in the Prince Regent's Bounty, as these land grants were called, are indicated by a star in front of their respective names. The names of those who received land grants as above have been supplemented by names from pay lists, appointments and promotions as published in Militia Orders, returns, petitions and correspondence in the office of the Archivist and Keeper of the Records, Arthur G.

  • Chapter Xxiv
    CHAPTER XXIV. Crown lands management Waste lands in seigniories Government officials Army bills redeemed Banking Political situation, 1816 The two Papineaus Sessions of 1817-1819 Death of George III., 1820 A speech of Louis-Joseph Papineau. To portion out the lands amongst the militia, General Drummond, the administrator of the province (1815), was constrained to have recourse to the officials of a department in which enormous abuses existed. The lands were divided up between favourites. So much territory had been given away that Drummond informed the minister that there was no more room on the River St. Francis for the establishment of the immigrants and the discharged soldiers. Every one had pounced down upon that immense pasture ground. From 1793 to 1811, over three million acres had been granted to a couple of hundred privileged applicants. Some of them secured as much as sixty to eighty thousand acres as, for example, Governor Milnes, who took nearly seventy thousand as his share. These people had no intention of ever improving the land by clearing it of the forest. As it cost them nothing, they purposed leaving the same in a wild state until such time as the development of the neigh- bourhood by colonization would increase the value of the whole. Another vexatious land question arose out of the vast domains granted by the King of France to the so-called seigneurs which were intended, by the letter and spirit of the grants themselves, to be given to the settlers whenever they wished for them. Large tracts of these still remained unoc- cupied and the seigneurs had often expressed the desire to get them as their own property in free and common socage, whilst the country people main- tained that they were to be kept en seigneurie according to the intention of the sovereign who first granted them.

    CHAPTER XXII. Debates in the assembly, 1808-1810 Talk of war Preparations for defence, 1808 Sir James Craig and his surroundings Trade, navigation, finance Trouble with the assembly Le Canadien suppressed, 1810 Elections Sir James recalled, 1811. A song composed in Quebec alluded to the Milnes-Ryland-Sewell anti- Canadian party as pretty fair tyrants, but quite a small battalion to meet ' ' ' ' the Americans and the chorus ran : They will rely on our arms. These lines are a perfect picture of the time. The House opened 28th February, 1807. Subjects of debate: War in Europe; state of affairs with the American Republic; the Jews in the contested elections circulation of wood and assembly ; ; monetary ; inspection the elected members of the lumber ; judges legislative assembly ; importation of works taxes on notarial land and liquor ; public ; deeds, surveyors copies from public archives; pilotage; Three Rivers hospital. The assembly took into consideration the expediency of having an authorized agent, resident in Great Britain, for the purpose of attending to the interests of the province, when occasion should require, and deter- mined that it would be highly advantageous to have such an one legally authorized and resident there. No other action was taken on this subject. An effort was made in 1807 towards obtaining an allowance for defray- ing the expenses of the members of the assembly who resided at a distance from Quebec, but the subject was postponed. "That the Canadians at this time were loyal to Great Britain, and out of all sympathy with the course of events in France, is shown by their enthusiastic celebration of Nelson's victory at Trafalgar."* "From the beginning of the war comparatively large amounts were contributed by Canadians of all creeds and classes towards the funds neces- sary for its prosecution.

  • Notaries in the Quebec City Region, 1759 to 1899
    The Notaries in Quebec City who were first appointed by the British authorities and later-on during the Lower Canada time period The 1851 and 1861 censuses The 1851 and 1861 censuses were the only two decennial censuses conducted in Lower Canada. In 1851, the population of Québec City was 42,052, almost twice the size it had been in 1825. The city continued to grow, reaching 51,109 persons in 1861. This large increase in population during the 19th century was the combined result of a relative decline in mortality and an increase in the birth rate. Despite continuing immigration, the effect of this growth was to increase the share of the population born in Canada from less than 70% in 1825 to almost 80% in 1861. Statistics Canada http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/11-008-x/2008001/article/10574-eng.htm The 1861 census indicated that the population of Quebec was nearly 1.2 million, of which 86% were Catholic. Of the total population, 78% was French, 10% was Irish, 6% was English, and 5% was Scottish. At the time of Confederation, the total population of the British North American colonies was about 3.5 million, of which 75% lived in United Canada (Quebec and Ontario). About 80% of the population of United Canada lived in rural areas. From 1840 to 1867, despite an exodus of close to 200,000 people to factories in New England, Quebec's population nearly doubled.
