    1. RE: [QC-ETANGLO] Maps of the Siegniories

    3. I'm afraid I can't help with the map. From the description it sounds like it would have run north up the east side of the bay, starting a bit north from what is now Philipsburg, to Pike River (route 133). That's the southern most bridge over the river and the river crossing has probably remained in roughly the same spot. There's a road from there (route 202) that heads south west to Venise and then you can follow a road round the edge of the bay and due west through Clarenceville to Noyan. I would like to ask a favor. Is there any mention of the name Schoolcraft in your reference? There are several in the general area and I'm trying to determine which of seven (maybe eight) original settlers were in which towns. > -----Original Message----- > From: R Shogan [mailto:angiebob@shol.com] > Sent: Sunday, March 26, 2000 9:36 AM > To: QC-ETANGLO-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [QC-ETANGLO] Maps of the Siegniories > > > Was wondering if anyone would know where I could find a map > of the Seigniories of Faucalt and Noyan ca.1820's.
