Plus encore, un moulin construit dans le premier rang par Phil\u00e9mon Dugas et ses associ\u00e9s donnera le coup d\u2019envoi au d\u00e9veloppement de son territoire. Pour la plupart, ces moulins \u00e9taient actionn\u00e9s par la puissance de l\u2019eau. L\u2019\u00e9quipement se limitait \u00e0 une seule scie \u00e0 mouvement alternatif et d\u2019un m\u00e9canisme manuel d\u2019alimentation en billots. Cet \u00e9quipement \u00e9tait log\u00e9 dans un b\u00e2timent dot\u00e9 d\u2019une structure relativement simple \u00e0 construire. Ils produisaient des madriers et des planches pour le march\u00e9 local. Les billots \u00e9taient sci\u00e9s tr\u00e8s lentement et la production d\u00e9passait rarement quelques centaines de planches ou madriers par jour. Pour la plupart, ces moulins fonctionnaient \u00e0 temps partiel et sur une base saisonni\u00e8re. Souvent juxtapos\u00e9s \u00e0 un moulin \u00e0 farine, ces moulins devenaient le centre d\u2019attraction de villages ou d\u2019agglom\u00e9rations naissantes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a2c15ac elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a2c15ac\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6ac2559\" data-id=\"6ac2559\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e3d909 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7e3d909\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Several mills have been built on the Rouge River in Rawdon township since its creation in 1799.

Alexandre Riopel tells us, in an article published in 2014 in <em>Histoire Qu\u00e9bec<\/em>, que les grands-p\u00e8res d\u2019Isaac et de Phil\u00e9mon, deux fr\u00e8res nomm\u00e9s Joseph et Claude \u00e9taient meuniers du moulin de l\u2019Achigan et du moulin d\u2019en bas appartenant aux sulpiciens. Phil\u00e9mon, Isaac et Pierre officialiseront leur association en f\u00e9vrier 1817. Par le m\u00eame acte notari\u00e9 (5), Pierre Richard acceptait de c\u00e9der \u00e0 la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 le lot 24. Cette association fut \u00e9ph\u00e9m\u00e8re. En juin 1817, les associ\u00e9s convenaient (6) de dissoudre la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 et de vendre le moulin et le lot 24 \u00e0 Phil\u00e9mon Dugas. L\u2019acte transf\u00e9rait \u00e9galement le droit de placer, dans le moulin \u00e0 scie, une moulange pour moudre le grain. Phil\u00e9mon Dugas et sa femme s\u2019associeront par la suite, soit entre mars 1818 et mars 1820 \u00e0 Martin S. Parker (7).<\/p><p>Documentation presently available does not identify the person who sold lot 24 to Pierre Richard. There may have been other owners before Pierre Richard, but James Sawers, who died in 1813, was the first owner of this lot. He obtained 500 acres, that is, the northeastern half of lot 21, as well as lots 22 and 24 of Range 1, by letters patent dated July 13, 1799 (8).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>To this sawmill, Phil\u00e9mon added, a few years later, a flour mill (grist mill), so that by the 1825 census (9), he owned both mills. Daniel Parkinson points out that Mr. Dugas made considerable improvements to his facilities. His house measured 36 by 30 feet, while his mills were 32 by 66 feet. The flour mill had three sets of stones. Two of these were used to produce wheat flour for export. The other was used to produce oat flour. The sawmill had two sets of saws. A fire that occurred during the night of December 31, 1829 (10), destroyed Phil\u00e9mon Dugas\u2019s flour mill and sawmill, causing losses estimated at 1,500 pounds. The mill would, however, be rebuilt.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-506f483 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"506f483\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d05a96f\" data-id=\"d05a96f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-749cf3d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"749cf3d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Family succession<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e774700 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e774700\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-970827c\" data-id=\"970827c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-80bd1a9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"80bd1a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Meanwhile, the Phil\u00e9mon\/Firmin family grew, with the birth of at least nine daughters and one son. They also adopted John Copping, born around 1812 and still a minor at the time Phil\u00e9mon Dugas and his wife wrote their wills (11). The son, born on March 8, 1830, was named Firmin and was to take over the business. Phil\u00e9mon Dugas\u2019s extended family would also contribute to the operation of the mills. The eldest, Bibiane, took Zacharie Clouthier as her husband. Phil\u00e9mon\u2019s son by adoption, John Copping, first worked as an apprentice, then married Julie (1811-1872) in 1837. Adaline (1814-1873) married Daniel Truesdell in 1835. Finally, Anne (1822-1908) united her destiny with that of William Lord in 1846.<\/p><p>According to Daniel Parkinson (12), it is plausible that Phil\u00e9mon Dugas remained the owner of these mills until his death on July 19, 1864. Very early on, however, Phil\u00e9mon\u2019s sons-in-law and sons played an active role in the operation of the mills in Rawdon and the surrounding area. The Copping family operated mills in Rawdon until the middle of the 20th century. The 1852 census mentioned that the flour mills then had a production capacity with four sets of stones....which suggests that the Dugas family operated mills on more than one site.<\/p><p>A contract (13) drawn up before notary S. Ulric Brien dit Desrochers concerning a financial transaction (loan and mortgages) confirms the business relationship between Firmin Dugas, the son, and John Copping. In this contract, Firmin Dugas was identified as Esquire and bourgeois, while John Copping was identified as a miller. This deed also showed that Firmin Dugas owned lot 24 of Range 1 with the flour mill, while John Copping owned the southeast quarter of lot 18 of Range 5 with the sawmill and flour mill.<\/p><p>Established as a Catholic parish in 1853 (March 16), Saint-Liguori received its civil recognition in 1880 (June 26). Lot 24 of Range 1 will be part of the territory of the Township of Rawdon annexed by decree dated May 9, 1854 to the parish of Saint-Liguori.\u00a0<\/p><p>Firmin Dugas, the son, died suddenly on March 16, 1889, at the age of 59, such that the mill was abandoned while a succession involving several lots and minor children was settled. Jean Gagnon, a Saint-Liguori historian, continued the story as follows (14):<\/p><p><em>\u201cLater, around 1900, the water power was sold by Louis Dugas, Member of the Provincial Parliament, son of Firmin, to his cousins Sam, Georges and William Lord; they completely rebuilt the two mills and dug a canal over a distance of 7 arpents (about 400 metres) to carry water from the Rouge River. The mills were back in operation by September 1902 (p. 22).<\/em><\/p><p><em>\u00a0<\/em><em>\u201c...the corn and buckwheat flour mill was gradually abandoned, but the sawmill continued to run. It was sold to a man named Chicoine during the \u201cdepression,\u201d but he had to return it for lack of payment. Mr. Alcide L\u00e9vesque, the current owner, bought it from Georges Lord in 1938 (p. 138).\u201d [Translation]<\/em><\/p><p>Jean Gagnon concluded by pointing out that, reportedly, this mill was still powered by water in the 1950s, produced an average of one million feet of wood per year and was in operation until the fire of 1976.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1ce314c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1ce314c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bc3e7e2\" data-id=\"bc3e7e2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c03e8a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2c03e8a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>GEOGRAPHICAL COORDINATES<\/strong><\/p><p>Lot 24 \u2013 Range 1<\/p><p><strong>46.0543\u2070 N   73.6859\u2070W <\/strong><\/p><p>These approximate coordinates need to be validated by field surveys.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b96ed69 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b96ed69\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bd977e4\" data-id=\"bd977e4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb9fcf1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fb9fcf1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Emplacement no 2 \u2013 Lot 20 \u2013 Rang 4 \u2013 Moulin Burns \/ Bordeleau (texte \u00e0 venir)<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-18d3e1b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"18d3e1b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9989ddd\" data-id=\"9989ddd\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f4249fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f4249fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Emplacement no 3 \u2014 Lots 18 et 19 \u2014 Rang 5 \u2014 Moulins Dugas \/ Truesdell \/ Lord \/ Copping \/ Mason \/ Barrie \/ Neveu  <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8942922 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8942922\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a330d4d\" data-id=\"a330d4d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f75087f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f75087f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Ces moulins \u00e9taient situ\u00e9s \u00e0 diff\u00e9rents emplacements pr\u00e8s de l\u2019endroit connu aujourd\u2019hui comme les chutes Mason.

to settle permanently in Rawdon. Born in New York State and married in 1797 in Prince Edward Island to Martha Crosby, an Irish woman, he reportedly arrived in Montr\u00e9al between 1798 and 1800. A baker, George first settled with his family in Faubourg \u00e0 m\u2019lasse, then moved to Sault-au-R\u00e9collet in 1806. They applied for lands in Rawdon in 1820 and were granted them on January 15, 1821, by Order in Council. George Sr. and his son obtained letters patent for lot 22 of Range 7 in January and March 1834. The mills, built before 1831, were listed in the 1831 census (a sawmill and an oil mill)<strong>.<\/strong><\/p><p>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9cad82e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9cad82e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ca54039\" data-id=\"ca54039\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66bca96 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"66bca96\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.histoirederawdon.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Extrait-du-recensement-de-1831-identifiant-George-Hobbs-et-lassociant-au-lot-22-du-Rang-7.png\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.histoirederawdon.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Extrait-du-recensement-de-1831-identifiant-George-Hobbs-et-lassociant-au-lot-22-du-Rang-7-1024x256.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6837\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.histoirederawdon.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Extrait-du-recensement-de-1831-identifiant-George-Hobbs-et-lassociant-au-lot-22-du-Rang-7-1024x256.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.histoirederawdon.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Extrait-du-recensement-de-1831-identifiant-George-Hobbs-et-lassociant-au-lot-22-du-Rang-7-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/www.histoirederawdon.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Extrait-du-recensement-de-1831-identifiant-George-Hobbs-et-lassociant-au-lot-22-du-Rang-7-768x192.png 768w, https:\/\/www.histoirederawdon.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Extrait-du-recensement-de-1831-identifiant-George-Hobbs-et-lassociant-au-lot-22-du-Rang-7-18x5.png 18w, https:\/\/www.histoirederawdon.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Extrait-du-recensement-de-1831-identifiant-George-Hobbs-et-lassociant-au-lot-22-du-Rang-7.png 1090w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Excerpt from the 1831 census identifying George Hobbs<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7558242 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7558242\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-544964c\" data-id=\"544964c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e4d64b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"e4d64b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2391\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2391\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">The Bagnall family<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2391\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2391\"><p>Over the years, Robert Bagnall developed a large agricultural business and acquired several hundred additional acres. A lumber merchant and militia major, Mr. Bagnall was an influential figure in the community. In fact, a section of Daniel Parkinson\u2019s book <em>Up to Rawdon<\/em> focuses on Robert Bagnall and his family. Mr. Parkinson mentioned having found documentation in the minutes of the meetings of the Anglican Church\u2019s administrators and vestry members corroborating the information that Mr. Robert Bagnall also operated a sawmill.<\/p><p>The Bagnalls sold this mill on April 17, 1865, to George Munroe, as specified in deed of sale no. 1037 in the office of Notary John Horan. The 1851 census confirmed the presence of this sawmill on lot 22 of Range 7, but it was associated with George Munroe, who identified himself as a \u201cmillrite\u201d [sic] or maintenance mechanic. Born in Scotland and aged 45 at the time of the census, Mr. Munroe was to operate the mill for the Bagnall family. The mill was described as measuring 40 feet by 30 feet, with two sets of saws. As noted by the census taker, this site had sufficient hydraulic power for all types of mills or factories, except in the month of July.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3c40615 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3c40615\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-36e53b3\" data-id=\"36e53b3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cb9edb7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cb9edb7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.histoirederawdon.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Extrait-du-recensement-de-1851-decrivant-la-capacite-de-production-du-moulin-et-la-force-motrice.png\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"277\" src=\"https:\/\/www.histoirederawdon.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Extrait-du-recensement-de-1851-decrivant-la-capacite-de-production-du-moulin-et-la-force-motrice.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6838\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.histoirederawdon.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Extrait-du-recensement-de-1851-decrivant-la-capacite-de-production-du-moulin-et-la-force-motrice.png 576w, https:\/\/www.histoirederawdon.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Extrait-du-recensement-de-1851-decrivant-la-capacite-de-production-du-moulin-et-la-force-motrice-300x144.png 300w, https:\/\/www.histoirederawdon.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Extrait-du-recensement-de-1851-decrivant-la-capacite-de-production-du-moulin-et-la-force-motrice-18x9.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Excerpt from the 1851 census describing the mill\u2019s production capacity and motive power<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3c18a24 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3c18a24\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4fb6e05\" data-id=\"4fb6e05\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-53a6551 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"53a6551\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>GEOGRAPHICAL COORDINATES<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Lot 22 \u2014 Range 7\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>73.7038\u2070W\u00a0 \u00a046.0758\u2070N\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>These approximate coordinates need to be validated by field surveys.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-65dcc68 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"65dcc68\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6d0f114\" data-id=\"6d0f114\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bba31f8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bba31f8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The information available confirms that Messrs.

A few months later, on March 5, 1862, they were resold to Narcisse Cornellier, a farmer from Saint-Ambroise who, in turn, resold them to Edward Mason, a machinist-millwright from Chertsey. The deeds of sale (16, 17) described the property located in Range 10 of Rawdon township (the lot is not specified) as follows: approximately 13 arpents (about 760 metres) deep by 1 arpent (about 60 metres) at the front and 3 arpents (about 180 metres) at the centre, bordered at the front by James Boyce, at the rear by the widow O\u2019Colgan, on one side by John Shields and on the other side by Samuel Coltren. This site included two houses, two mills and a stable and had water power and privilege running through the property. The site was sold for $1,200. To ensure payment, George Copping intervened in the contract and accepted responsibility, jointly and severally, with Edward Mason, by mortgaging lot 20 of Range 4.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-03b8d80 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"03b8d80\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9896acd\" data-id=\"9896acd\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd180d9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"cd180d9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2151\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2151\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Sources<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2151\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2151\"><ol>\n<li>Avis technique sur le Lac Rawdon\/Pierre Bertrand Consultant, octobre 2023 (Technical opinion of Rawdon Lake, Pierre Bertrand Consultant, October 2023)<\/li>\n<li>Plan directeur de protection du bassin-versant du Lac Rawdon \u2014 Rapport final\/CIMA+, d\u00e9cembre 2013 (Master plan for the protection of the Rawdon Lake watershed, final report, CIMA+, December 2013)<\/li>\n<li>Bilan de phosphore et pr\u00e9diction de l\u2019eutrophisation du lac Rawdon\/Groupe H\u00e9misph\u00e8re, juillet 2015 (Phosphorous report and eutrophication prediction for Rawdon Lake, Groupe H\u00e9misph\u00e8re, July 2015)<\/li>\n<li>Opening Rawdon Township: Early locations by Loyalists and the First Settlers, Daniel B.
