LONGUEIL

"The Seigniory of Longueuil was first granted in 1657 to Charles le Moyne de Longueuil et de Châteauguay, Sieur de Longueuil, and it was raised to the label of Barony of Longueuil in 1700 by King Louis XIV in recognition of Le Moyne's services. Le Moyne had named the land that was granted to him in 1657 after the French hometown of his mother, Longueil in Normandy.

By 1710, the barony had expanded to include land from the Saint Lawrence River to the Richelieu River, and south along the west bank of the river to the Seigniory of DeLéry."

  Marriage Notes:

"Charles Le Moyne (1st Baron) died in Montreal in 1729, and the barony passed to his son, also named Charles Le Moyne (1687\'961755), the second baron. His son and the third baron, Charles-Jacques Le Moyne (1724-1756), was reported missing in action in the aftermath of the Battle of Lake George, during the Seven Years' War. His wife Marie-Anne-Catherine Fleury Deschambault refused to acknowledge his death until 1759, and shortly after the battle gave birth to twin girls. She married William Grant in 1770, the son of the Laird of Blairfindy, Moray, Scotland. The barony was to be inherited by her surviving daughter, Marie-Charles-Joseph Le Mote de Longueuil, and Grant arranged a marriage to his nephew, Captain David Alexander Grant of the British 84th Regiment. The couple were wed in 1781, and their eldest son became the fifth Baron de Longueuil in 1841."
