Ancient territories of

Modern-days counties of

Governor James Murray (1760-1766), Governor Guy Carleton (1766-1778), Governor Frederick Haldimand (1778-1785), Governor Lord Dorchester (Guy Carleton) (1786-1791) - All three gentlemen wanted a British presence in the Lower St. Lawrence region, from Lévis county, the latter located across the Capital of British North America, Québec City to the Gaspé Peninsula - The first of these British Isles settlers were the Scots, followed by families from Northern Ireland and England - Finally the Irish Catholics arrived, the latter group soon after their arrivals greatly outnumbered all of the above settlers - Many of these early settlers stayed only a generation or two, many moved to Upper Canada (Ontario), the Montréal region, Québec City, the Prairie Provinces at a much later time period and many more to the U.S.A. - The farms of the Lower St. Lawrence were small, the region was isolated, the winters were cold, the growing seasons were short - But, many North American Anglo Protestants have lineages within these regions and many of today's genealogy researchers are not even aware that some of their ancestors resided in these regions.
