There were many immigrants directly from France who settled in the village of Little France which is near Mallory and West monroe,but I don't believe that any French Canadians settled in that community.

Be careful not to put yourself in a box. There are exceptions to the rules.. My Shortsleeve family (Catholics) on my mothers side came down through the corridor starting in Vermont and down through Albany, Watertown, Oswego and Sterling with stops in between in the 1830's and 40's when the English were persecuting them. Some moved back to the Quebec province later. My fathers side (Rowsey/Rowzee/Rosseau , Huguenot Protestant) came from France, through Canterbury England, then the Chesapeake Bay to settle in Virginia in the 1600's.

Some of my family were residents of Little France, West Monroe, Constantia & Parish. There was a Rostiser (Rostizer) surname in my family somewhere, and I believe they came from Canada in the late 1880's.
