The Minister's Wife Suggestion

All Saints Church
Dunham, Brome-Missisquoi Co., Quebec, Canada

The above photo was taken in the fall of 1999, when my husband and I spent three days in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. My original photo lost much of it's color, so I've made it black and white.

Before we made the Canadian trip, I already knew that 22 of my ancestors were buried in five cemeteries, but in different small towns. How did I get so lucky getting that information? Several people helped. First, a local genealogy club friend, who was also a recently discovered 5th cousin told me she and her mother were going north to find where two of our ancestor's were buried. When Gail and her mother, Isabelle Westover returned, she gave me copies of her notes and a detailed map of all towns and cemeteries. I had to see the three stones, plus 19 others, so within two months we were on the road. Additional information was obtained from my visit to the Missisquoi Historical Society.

While at the above cemetery, we ran into the Minister's wife in her yard. She and her husband lived in a house behind the church and we began chatting. I wasn't looking for anything, but was wondering to myself about how I could get updated vital records information on more recent ancestors and family members. After my thinking, I asked the wife that question. Margaret Godsoe knew how, and ran into the house for a pen and paper and wrote the name and address of the Diocesan Archivist in Montreal, and suggested I write the archivist. With the addresses and good intentions of writing immediately, it took me seven months before I knew what to write and what to send. Below are my copies of correspondence and two family group sheets I sent. Regarding the group sheets, I left all sources off, so as to not confuse anybody. I tried to be as clear as possible in what I wanted. In looking at these requests today, and what they sent, I believe they read my mind because I received more than I requested, but that was okay by me.

Researchers should know, I was doing my research all wrong! Cemetery visiting should have been my last step, not my first!

I was very lucky that my very early ancestor sources were correct (many names not on these sheets), thanks to my researching the Quebec National Archives Microfilm Collection of vital records also called Drouin Collection up to 1898 or so. I was viewing the microfilm weekly at the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS). Eventually this collection was put online. (Back then, I would never have imagined I could have researched these now indexed records from home.) From, the Library and Archives Canada site, "Parish registers are an important source for information on births, baptisms, marriages, deaths and burials. For you to locate relevant records, you must know the place and the religious denomination of a person. Religious denomination is indicated in Census records." Since almost all my lines were Loyalists, and all ancestors spoke and wrote English, I had a rather easy time reading the writing. However, it must have taken me hundreds of hours to go through the microfilm, because nothing was indexed like it is now.

Moral of story, if you are thinking something and wondering if you should ask a question, Just Do It. If I hadn't asked the Minister's wife about recent records, my research on these lines would have taken much longer. I was absolutely thrilled to get a copy of my grandmother's birth, and the marriage record for my great-grandparents, both shown below.

Baptism and birth dates for my grandmother, Sarah Dumont Ten Eyck.

Marriage Record for my great-grandparents, Charles Ten Eyck and Lydia Jane Pell.

Out of the Blue came Julia Ann Jaquays and her husband, James G. Pell

James Gibbins Pell and wife, Julia Ann Jaquays

My great-grandparents

Julia Ann Jaquays parents were William Cross Jaquays and Lydia Johnson, both "brick walls." The photo was probably taken in Frelighsburg or Dunham, Quebec, Canada.

My 2nd cousin who lives in Quebec forwarded this lovely photo via her mother-in-law (her cousin's internet service is terrible). What a total surprise. You never know what you are going to get when you open an email.

Amanuensis Monday -- History of the Eastern Townships

Amanuensis Monday was begun by John Newmark of the TransylvanianDutch blog. The term means, "a person employed to write what another dictates or to copy what has been written by another." Many bloggers like doing this because it allows them to freely copy something that has been written. Below is a copy of  a few pages from a book about Dunham, Quebec. I have mentioned Dunham before, as well as the Eastern Townships. Many probably don't have a clue as to where I am talking about. Hopefully the small amount of information will help. My ancestor's names are in green. This is my 4th Amanuensis, three previous ones were wills; Delight A. Benham, John Adams and Horace Adams, one about a pirates kidnapping my ancestor. Below the written article is a great map of the Eastern Townships.

History of the Eastern Townships, by C. M. Day
Pub. 1869, Reprinted, 1992,   Pages 292-293


"DUNHAM
A tract of land lying within the district of Montreal, containing 57,252 acres, 3 roods, and 30 perches, bounded north by Farnham, east by Brome and Sutton, south by St. Armand, and west by Stanbridge, was erected into a township named Dunham. The petition for this grant was dated April 28th, 1795; the warrant of survey issued August 27th of the same year; and in 1795, the township was granted to Thomas Dunn and his associates, viz., Josseph Buck, John Heliker, Jacob Heliker, George Saxe, Mathew Hall, William Ferrand, David Ferrand, Joshua Chambers, Amos Woodland, David Reychart, John Clark, Thomas Best, Daniel Mills, Jeremiah Reychart, Daniel Trever, Alexander McDougall, Thomas Pell, Andrew Ten Eyck, Henry Ten Eyck, Archibald Henderson, Henry Hall, Elisha Dickinson, Jacob Best sen., George Waymore, Abraham Lampman, John Mills, Stephen Jenner, Jacob Best jun., Adam Deal, Frederick Streit, Samuel Mills, Philip Ruiter, and Jacob Ruiter.


It is said that Dunham was the first township erected in Lower Canada. Among the earliet inhabitants if not the very first to locate within its limits, was Andrew Ten Eyck from New Jersey, who settled in the south-western part of the tract, in 1793. He was a U. E. Loyalist, and came to Canada as the forerunner of a numerous influx of the same class of settlers."

Eastern Townships Map

This map shows "roughly" what townships fell into what counties about 1871. A friend maintains the Eastern Townships site for RootsWeb, and gave me permission to copy here.  "My area" is colored in tan, located at the lower left side, just above Vermont.

He Changed His Name To Hide!

The longer you do your genealogy research, the more you realize that not all ancestors told the truth. We want them truthful in order for us to follow their past. But what if they changed their name? What if they came from another country? What if the well-known Canadian beer, Molson, could have been named after your ancestor? A lot of what if's. All these are facts, and solved, over time, because the middle name of my ancestor was actually his surname, and an author wrote a book about John Molson. Once in a while we get lucky.


James Pell Jr., was one of the original 35 Associates who received land in 1796 which formed the first township in Lower Canada. I'm fortunate to have a lot of information on him, since, he and several generations of Pells lived in that area. But, it wasn't until a cousin and I merged our information that things got interesting. I hadn't considered looking further back into England to trace the line, I stop once they set foot in North America. He, on the other had, has the surname of Pell, so he was more curious. During a seven year span, we researched, and merged, wondered and often, well no, we didn't often think about giving up. Where was James Pell from? There was no trace of him or his parents in England.


In 2007, cousin Duane Pell informed me of a rather new book, Molson, The Birth of a Business Empire by Douglas Hunter. He couldn't put it down, as it was not only interesting, but filled with Pell and Gibbins information. We soon found out there was name change. The last name of Pell was taken when James Gibbins Sr., several of his sons, including the above James Pell, and a very young John Molson, founder of the Molson Brewing Company of Canada, arrived in Canada sometime during the 1780s.  During this migration, many letters were written between these sailors and their families back in England. Fortunately, letters and diaries were saved and are now in the Molson Brewery Archives. We soon were shaking our heads in disbelief, but were happy. The line went back a further generation, but now there was a new surname, no longer Pell but Gibbins. My cousin tried to get used to the fact that he really was a Gibbins!


John Molson was often called home to help with estate matters. During those trips, my James Pell Sr. (formerly James Gibbins) was left in charge of the new brewery. While in England, John stayed at James Gibbins's daughter's house, she being a possible bride. Per the above book, "And by bequeathing the brewery to Gibbins 'and his Heirs and Assigns forever' in the March 1785 will, Molson made Ann Gibbins Elsdales (a widow) and the (her) children among the ultimate beneficiaries of his estate." 


Apparently, there was a break, a few years later, in the friendship between John Molson and James Gibbons / Pell.  Probably due to either money or  with mismanagement of the brewery. James Sr. returned to England several times for visits, then ultimately staying there, using the name of James Gibbins, and his son, James Gibbins Pell Jr. remained in Missisquoi County, Quebec, and kept the name of Pell.


James Gibbins Pell Jr., my 4th great grandfather was born about October 12, 1759 in Spalding, So. Lincolnshire, England, and died January 28, 1846 in St. Armand East, now called Frelighsburg, Missisquoi Co., Quebec, Canada. His first wife's name is unknown, with whom he had two children, but his 2nd wife, Margaret Brisbin and James Pell are buried in Frelighsburg as shown by their graves recently posted.


Towards the end of the Molson book, there are some interesting quotes, one in particular caught my eye. In a letter to Molson, written by a future brother-in-law, "Your guardian Companion Gibbins is among us and doing God only knows what. Gibbins is a very free spoken plausible genius. I rather more than suspect him to be an hypocrite and that he is not over and above addicted to the crime of veracity." There is also a statement that his own daughter banished James Gibbins from her house.
Yes, there's one in every family.


My cousin and I prepared a paper, and had it bound, then sent it to the Missisquoi Historical Archives in Stanbridge East, Quebec. The family was one of the earliest settlers of that area, and it was important to let future researchers of the Pell line know there isn't one. They need to follow the Gibbins line in England instead. Six months after we submitted our documentation, I went to Salt Lake City and discovered a marriage record of James Gibbins's parents. William Gibbons married Sarah Pell on 30 May 1722 at Algarkirk, Lincoln, England.  I now know where the name Pell came from.

Positive vs. Negative and the Drouin Collection

Two different sources, two different images. Which version do you like, the negative or the positive?  The first record was located 12 years ago at a library in Boston. The microfilm reel was labeled "Quebec National Archives Microfilm #124.4" This means the records were in the 124 series, and this was part 4, I think there are 14 parts.

The second example is from the "Quebec Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967" available through Ancestry.com.  When these became available several years ago, researchers were thrilled because that meant no more ordering LDS records or manually going image by image as I did.

The two records below are exactly the same, one positive and the other negative. Recently while at the New England Historic and Genealogical Library (NEHGS) I had to ask an employee the difference between the two. All I knew was, I could change the option from a button on the machine. She said the first one is a negative image (white with black background), originally done as a positive. If you wish more information about the meaning between, please see below.

The second image is from Ancestry.com and that is how most records appear, as a positive. Sometimes it is easier to read it with a black background, you have to decide, if you have the option.

Now, while on this subject, I have gone round in circles with several people in the past, telling them I already had the records and they were not called the Drouin Collection. The images below are the exact same but called different things. I have always sourced my Canadian records as "Archives National de Quebec Parish Register," then the series and roll number, there is no mention of Drouin on the boxes or on the film.

Ancestry states: "Quebec Notarial Records (Drouin Collection), 1647-1942

Until the late 1900s, church registers in Quebec served as civil and vital records in that province. Throughout the years a second copy of church records, from all denominations, was sent annually to the appropriate courthouse. During the 1940s the vital record collections in courthouses throughout Quebec were filmed by the Institut Généalogique Drouin.* The filming of vital records continued for some areas up through the 1960s. Consequently, this filmed set of records became known as the Drouin Collection. The majority of the records in this database cover the time period 1621-1947, as most of the filming was done in the 1940s. The records that were filmed up through the 1960s are also included in this database, although they are very few in number. These records that were filmed later cover the years 1948-1967. Names from all years have now been indexed and can be searched on using the search box above."
