    1. [CAN-QC-MISSISQUOI] Roll Call: Lachapelle, Labar, Sawyer and Fogal
    2. Patti Molenaar
    3. Happy New Year! The families I am researching are the Lachapelle's, the Labar's, the Sawyer's and the Fogal's. They lived all over over Missisquoi County including  Armand,  Brome and Manitoulin Island to name a few. Eventually some of them moved to Gwillimbury and married into the UEL Pringle family of of which I am a direct descendant. My first Pringle ancestor to the American Colonies was from Midlothian, Scotland. He lived among the first pilgrims who came over on the Mayflower and settled in  New Haven, Connecticut. At that time he changed the Scottish spelling of his surname to Prindle. The Prindle's were Loyalists so during the American Revolution and were burned out of their homes and fled up through New York and into Canada. They joined the King's army, specifically "Butler's Rangers".  For their loyalty and service,  they received land grants in Ontario. Sometime after that they resumed using the Scottish spelling of their surname Pringle. Eventually my branch of the Pringle family moved southwest to Gwillimbury, Ontario. My Great - Great - Great Grandfather Darius Spencer Pringle married Mary Ann Chapelle from Gwillimbury. His son, my Great - Great Grandfather John Albert Pringle married Catherine Helena LaBar of Georgina. They  immigrated in the late 1800's  to Sherman, in Iosco County, Michigan.  Iosco County is north of Port Huron, in St. Clair County, Michigan.  From Sherman my branch of the Pringle's moved into other areas of Michigan and well beyond but there are many branches of the Pringle family who remained in Ontario, Canada as well.  I'd like to hear from anyone who is connected to my line of the Pringle's. Kind Regards Patti Molenaar - Pringle Roosendaal, The Netherlands
