Hello again Merri, On my list of books that I want (as gifts from my family) there is one- "History of Huntingdon, Chateauguay, and Beauharnois" by Robert Sellar Huntingdon, Que: Canadian Gleaner 1888. This is the whole area you are interested in. I believe that Gleaner may have been a local paper. So you may have to go through the libraries.
