    1. [QC-ETANGLO] Has anyone seen 380 signatures on a petition?

    3. I came across the following: "... Caldwell agreed to present a petition, containing 380 signatures, to the Governor, Lord Dorchester, in 1786. This petition had been read by Thomas Dunn, a member of the Executive Council who acquired the seignory of St. Armand in 1788...." That wording implies that Henry Caldwell not only agreed to collect the signatures but actually did so as they went at least to Thomas Dunn. Hence to the subject of this memo. Has anyone seen this list of signatures and if so where can I get hold of a copy? NOTE: I don't beleive this is referring to Caldwell's land grant petition for the town of Granby as there are far fewer signatures involved in that petition.
