Hello, Since it has been mentioned on the Lists about the group of families which Philemon WRIGHT from Winchester took to Canada in 1800, I am remembering something I heard about maybe 5 yrs. ago. Perhaps it was my participation on the KIDDER List that I learned that a group of families left Billerica and migrated to Canada. I seem to remember they were Loyalists or Sympathizers which meant they probably migrated in the late 1700's. I've been searching on-line for information on this, and searching the archives of several Lists, and I'm not finding this migration mentioned. In the archives of the KIDDER List, I did find a mention of a Richard KIDDER from VT who migrated to Canada just after 1800. Did he join the families who had gone there from Billerica, MA? There is a town of Wyman, in the Province of Quebec, but I just checked the "Billerica book," and the WYMAN paragraph does not mention any migration to Canada. And actually the early families were in Woburn (on Billerica line). It was probably 5-6 years ago that I was curious whether Billerica was a unique place-name. It was then that I found out that there was a Town of Billerica in Canada for a short time. I think it became Hull or Pontiac in (now) the Province of Quebec. And, in the mention of Richard KIDDER of VT, it mentions Hull. If it is possible that Richard went to live near the Billerica (MA) families, it always amazes me how families / people in the 1700's in the Colonies found ways to correspond with each other, or find out what other people were doing !
