Introduction:
Alexander Macfie and Ann Tough were married in Inveraray, on the north side of Loch Eyne in Argyleshire, Apr 21st 1823. They embarked on their journey to Canada , from Aberdeen March 29 1824. Three days out to sea their first born, a son, arrived. He was named Robert after his grandfather Robert of Langhouse , Inverkip .
It has been assumed that accompanying Alexander, his wife and newly born son were the father-in-law William Tough , his wife Jane Munro, and from what can be determined two sons and two daughters. ( Charles, William, Jane and Martha) , New information culled in 2007 from th 1825 census records has us reconsidering this assumption.
Together they set sail on the " Quebec Packet " , a vessel , owned by business associates of the Macfie family - Robert Catto and Son -. The Captain of the vessel was an Anderson . The Quebec Packet was a fairly large and new vessel at that time built in 1822 , 82.8 in length, 23.9 in beam and 15.3 in depth. She was registered at 196 gross tons (a brigadier). Good time was made sailing from Aberdeen, and the vessel arrived in Quebec on or about the 7th of May , where their newly born son Robert was baptized, sailing time 40 days. Other passengers on the vessel were Mr. & Mrs. Hardy and one Lieut. Grayson of the Royal Navy. Records show that it was 92 degrees F in the shade that particular day.
It is not known if the family left the ship in Quebec, but there are other records showing that an Alexander McPhee took passage to Three Rivers on the " Malsham " , the 3rd of June, 1824.
The " Quebec Packet " itself sailed for Montreal arriving on May 17th, where it off loaded passangers Captain Bell, Mr Pownall and Mr Adam . It is assumed that these passengers booked passage from Quebec to Montreal only, as their names did not appear with those listed at arrival in Quebec.
Quebec May 26th: Quebec June 5th: |
In order for Alexander and his group to get to thier final destination , Noyan Quebec, several assumptions have to be made. At that time in May, the Canadian spring was well established and the river would have been fairly free of ice. There was a steam boat called the "Montreal " that crossed the mighty St. Lawrence River to Laprairie, at Laprairie they would have to have arrange for some land conveyance (horse or oxen and wagon) to take them to Dorchester ( St John - St. Jean sur Richelieu of today), and then transfer to a barge that descended the Chamblee River (Richelieu River ) to Lac Champlain, stopping at Isle aux Noix where there was an established British military community. From this point a bateau could be taken down the South River into the heart of the Seiginory of Noyan, Quebec. At the bend in the South River, where the waterway became narrower there were, back then , settlements such as Scotch Point, Mitchell's Landing and Mandigo's Landing. From one of these landings Alexander and his group would have had to walk into the heavily wooded area to reach his particular plot of land, there would only have been trails, no roads.
 |
At least one of these methods of transport, if not all of them,had to be have been used to facilitate himself and his family passage to his lot of land in the Seignory of Noyan, Quebec in 1824.

(Christie's Manor)
It remains to be established just where the original location of Alexander's first farm was , but in the year 2006 is it thought to be somewhere east, between the bend in the South River and the top of what is now known as (Peel Head Bay) Venise en Quebec. (there is a cemetery named Brockville in this area in which we find a John Macfie died 1826 son of Alex Macfie and Ann).
In Sept of 2007 , the 1825 census of the area was posted on Pam Waugh's Eastern Townships web site, courtesy of Dr. David Ellis,( a lot of dedicated hard work on his part. This allows us to extablish Alexander's neighbours, and will iI hope result in the establishmnet of the eaxct lot he acquired upon his arriveal in Quebec. We find that the first name the census takers recorded was Mathew Jameson, followed by Baptiste Mainville, Jacob Louis, Allen Wheeler, and Ephraim Wheeler. Next on the list is Alexander Macfie ( Mcphee) who then is followed by William Lewis, Levi Mandigo, Owen Hughes, Benjamin McAlister and the Partlow family of John, David and Allen.
Records in the later census listings show that Allen Wheeler, the only name that is common to all census records was on lot 11 in concession 9 thus allowing us to assume that Alexander was either on the next higher number lot, or the next lower number lot taking into consideration that Ephraim Wheeler is located in between, unless the names recorded are on oposite sides of the concession road. Further assumptions that have been made after consulting the 1830 census which was published once again thorought the dedicated efforts of Dr David Ellis, and Pam Waugh, is that william Tough came to live on the lot that Alexander Macfie had first taken in 1823 when he arrived in Quebec. We know for fact that Alexander had in 1827 taken over the farm of Walter Bruce, the land futher down towards the American border, the lands that all of the remaing relatives of Alexander's family have knowledge of, down around Chemin Macfie Road, and this is where we find him listed on the census records.
We do however have a William Tough ( Lough) listed on the 1830 census right after Mathew Jamieson and before the Partlow family of James, John , Allen and David. A few lines further up we find Allen Wheeler and Ephrain Wheeler listed once again, and as we already know that Allen Wheeler had possession of lot 11 in Concession 9 , so if provides us with an indication that William Tough might have taken possession of the next higher numered lot, or the next lower numbered , but which ever one it was it just might be correct to assume that he took over Alexander's first farm when Alexander got his hands on that great big farm that Walter Bruce had.
In March of 1826 we find Alexander writing home to his father old Robert of Langhouse, telling him of his woes. Apparently his barn burnt, a fire had been started by a lamp that had not be turned out properly. They had been husking corn until almost 9 PM that evening and then had gone to bed, only to be awakened by the cries of their neighbours around 3 AM. They were unable to save very much and Alexander was writing to borrow money to rebuild and cover his losses of the season. He writes about drawing lumber for a new barn from the swamp, this work having to be done late in the season, when things were dry.
The next written word we find from Alexander is July 1827 -(there is a chance that there are more letters either in the Glasgow files, or in the files in Sweden, as of July 1998 not all has been verified) He writes to his brother John in Leith, I have assumed that John being closer to his age was the more receptive of the family. Alexander explains that his has had some bad health, and that he and his wife were now the parents of a daughter, whom they named Mary, after Alexander's loving Mother. The sickness they labeled the " ague " it sapped your energy, and caused you chills then brought on a fever. Alex was confined to bed for 5 days, and had to hire a man to start working his land.
Alex goes on to explain that all his problems are costing him money that he does not have, and asks for some kind consideration of his brother in helping him out with his financial problems. To further complicate things , some time between July and August 1827, Alexander has gotten himself into a difficult situation. This resulted in Alexander obtaining the lands of one Walter Bruce some 200 acres of farm land on the edge of Missisquoi Bay, an old stone house and the right to draw fish from the Bay itself. (Caldwell's Manor) ...
In a deal that appears not quite above board, Alexander extended a helping hand to his nearest Scottish neighbour. A neighbour who supplied his family with apples and who had a very good library. Alexander provided newspapers (some from New York) to Walter Bruce a man in his 60’s (1827) . Walter Bruce had his farm land in hay only, no animals to worry about.
With this deal Alexander takes possession of a stone farm house and the holdings of Walter Bruce thus assuming the position of an affluent land owner in the Seignory of Foucault - now known as Caldwell's Manor - in the area bordering Missisquoi Bay. Alexander is an educated man, he enjoys reading and keeps up with the news of the day. This fact influences those around him, and with this, Alexander's roll of a farmer takes on new standing and he becomes involved in the goings on in the area, both political and administrative.

Alexander has become more agile, and his farming capabilities are on the increase, we see him winning awards for his produce and animals at the county fairs. His family is growing, another daughter Jane Munro is born in 1829 and is named after Ann's mother. During the next five years Alexander and Ann who are now 38 and 25 enjoy the fruits of this new farm land they have managed to procure. Working hard was some thing Alexander did not want to do in Scotland however since the death of his Father in Sept. of 1827, Alexander could not really count on his two brothers to take pity on him and his woes. He had received part of an inheritance from his father's estate, however as his brothers William and John were the trustees, he was not given a lump sum of money to do with as he wished. Most likley disappointed with this decision Alexander had to content himself with a pension from the money that had been allocated to him.
In 1834 another son was born and named William Marshall. Life appears more structured, more convenient, at the Rouville Agricultural Society fair (Sat Sept.21 1836) Alexander entered some of his animals to be judged and came away with First prize for his 2 year old colt, First prize for his brood sow (pig) .Second prize for his brood mare and Third prize for his 3 year old steer. This same year his third son John is born (1836). We must assume that Alexander had learned from his life experiences at Langhouse, some of the values of farming , otherwise he would not have been able to transfer any experiences to his life now unfolding at Caldwell's Manor in this Canadian wilderness. The Macfie family had now grown and additions were now following Martha born in 1838, Alexander in 1840 , Jessie Thorburn in 1842, Margaret in 1844, and finally James the last child born in 1846.
During the years 1837 - 1838 while Canada was still under the control of the British, we find that the middle and upper middle class, educated and bourgeois, were having difficulty coming to grips with the ruling parties in England, they felt were not obtaining adequate consideration nor representation in this growing Canadian colony. A similar situation had occurred in 1774- 1776 in the American Colonies the results of which had given birth the the United States of America.
The English did not want a repeat of the American situation, so in order to snip any rebellious movement in the bud, they increased the number of soldiers in Canada, and went about setting up local Militia who would be faithful servants to the Crown. In Lower Canada what is now Quebec the rebellion took on a more distinct part. The French speaking population had never really considered themselves as being assimilated by the English. Even after the Treaty of Paris 1763 in which the French Colony of Canada was seceded to England those families of French origins who had remained in the colony had been allowed to keep their laws, their language, their religion and many of their customs.
In Lower Canada the Rebellion developed into more than just a desire to have the British rethink its way of governing this new country, it created a desire to regain a country that had been lost. This uprising even though it was put down and trampled upon, remained implanted in the desire of many a citizen of Quebec right up to today, a desire to have their own country, a country free of the English influence, a country similar to what existed at the time of the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1763.
In 1837 Alexander was appointed Captain of the 3rd Battalion of the County Rouville Militia. Alexander could read and write, he was educated, he was a large land owner having some 200+ acres and he had a horse and musket, he was 44 years of age. Whether or not Alexander saw action against the rebels we do not know. We do have a letter he sent to his sister in Sweden dated May 1838, stating that the Rebels were in possession of house 3/4 miles from their abode. They had at one time been forced to remove themselves from their home, burying the silverware in the back bush, the cattle were marched with them and the hay had to be taken as feed. He also wrote that he had a strong guard of his own company stationed just south of his house which dissuaded the Rebels from encroaching too far.
Fortunately this commotion did little to prevent Martha ,who was born during these troubled times, to become a strong young lady who produced a large family of her own. In 1837-38 , Alex had wanted to send young Robert off to school in Durham, however the rebellion was obliging his absence from the family. Robert's journey to school had to be put off for a period, as he was needed at home to help when Alex was off with the Militia.
The Macfie family were pleasently surprised with the visit of cousin William Andrew Macfie and a joyous time was spent showing him around this Canadian enterprise. A year later we find Alexander writing William Andrew to congratulate him on his up coming marriage, Alex writes in his letters that he has read of the death of his old friend John Galt and was very much saddened by it.
He went on to explain that they had had another child whom they had baptized Martha and that Robert was then off to school some 18 miles away boarding with a Mr. Campbell , a highly talented gentleman from the Paisley (Scotland) area. Alex indicated that it was his intention to send his daughter Mary off to the same school , the superior school being kept by a young man from England. Alex inquired as to who was now living in Langhouse, indicating that not much news was received from his brothers who were now very much concerned with the sugar processing in both Greenock and Leith.
He mentions that he would welcome any odd and ends that the family might consider sending, as they were missing some of the Scottish treats that they could not obtain here in Canada.
In 1845 Alexander wrote to his sister Jessie thanking her for her numerous letters, which brought back many memories of his child hood at Langhouse, all of which he read to his family so that they could share some of the wonderful childhood he had experienced. Alexander speaks of smuggling cream, riding a red stick painted for a horse, fishing on the beautiful linns of the Langhouse burn and other innocent amusements he shared with his sister back then. He tells Jessie of his latest born who was named Margaret, stating proudly that he now had a child named for every member of his family.
The letter explaining that in Canada he was doing the thrashing of the grain with one horse as compared to 8 oxen that were being used in Sweden, and that from 50 to 80 bushels of wheat were thrashed daily. There was a new process being used at this time but he had not tried it because of the cost. It was chiefly wheat that he had sowed in May and would cut in September, it was a wheat called "Black Sea " which had just been introduce in the last years, it was supposed to do well in Canada as it did not rust nor mildew. He goes on to explain that he has excellent fishing and fine land, the fishing taking a back drop to the farming as it required all of his attention. In April of 1845, Alexander had just finished making 102 ( what ever this might be - trees- or gallons - or some kind of measure) to maple sugar. " The land was then clear of snow, but wet to plow it, and the ice on the lake thawed so that a horse team could not go onto it" Alexander writes home.

Dr James Macfie M.D. C.M. of Fort Covington NY married Agnes Smith of Trout River at the residence of the bride's brother M M Smith Esq, of the custom house Trout River, by the Rev D Ross.
Notes culled from the Franklin Gazette , Malone NY
1877 - " The umpire was Dr James Macfie" ( we see here he was a man of the times having knowledge of the game of Baseball)
1879 " At the Democratic caucus which convened atthe office of Wilson & Mears on Saturday evening last Dr James Macfie , A S Creighton and r Degowin were the delegates chosen to attend the county convention, which convenes at Malone to day ." ( we foind here that James was a politiclly involved citizen)

1885 - " The Chair appointed Dr James Macfie of Fort Covington ,Chars A Burke of Malone and Jos Walker ofWestville , a committee on reslutions" ( an involved citizen )
1885 - " Fire at Fort Covington "
On Saturday last, Dr Macfie`s residence at Fort Covington was destroyed by fire. Most of the house hold effects were saved, but the building was atotal loss. The firs is supposed to have been caused by the explosion of a kerosene lamp ( a similar situation was encounded by his father Alexander and his brother Robert) . The doctor had occasion to go up into the attic in the morning , where some of his books were kept, for a book of reference. The room being dark he took a lamp and after procurring the book he carried it down stairs for the purpose of looking it over, leaving the lamp in the room, as he intended to immediately return , but before he did so he recived a call which delayed him a short time and when he went back the lamp had, as he supposed exploded and the smoke was so dense in the room that he could not enter. Nearly everyone was at church at the time and before aid could be summoned the building was past saving. When the alarm was given at the different churches, the peopl ran in a body to the rescue , but as the could not save the Doctor`s reresidence, went to work to save those near. The fire caught on the residences of Mr Chapman and Mr Hollenbeck, but they were saved by the effective work of the citizens. There is a fire engine at Fort Covington, but the hose was found to be worthless and consequently the engine was useless. The doctor has moved in the Anna McDonald's residence. He had an insurance of $1,000 which only partically covers his loss. He has the sympathy of the whole community in his misfortune.
1887- " The DemocraticCounty Convention met, pursuant to call at Howard Opera House, this village, on Tuesday last, for the purpose of nominating a county ticket and choosing delegates to the State, Judicial and Senatorial Conventions.

Dr Macfie , as a physician and citizen of the second comissioner district , needs no futher endorsement here ,and his many years of faithful service in the Democratic party will ensure him the solid support of that party at the polls.
