Please post comments and queries about John HODGSON and his family here.

Hell Gary and others...I am very interested in your research of the Hodgson family.....In the final generation you have listed that Catherine Hodgson married Andre Leronde....This coincides with our family research....My cousin who will probably join us soon..LOL Hi Kevin...Has a prayerbook that Catherine Hodgson from Bristol Quebec listed all of her Children in....They are Laronde Children....My cousin is a descendant of theirs...I am curious as to whether you have direct information on the Marriage of Catherine Hodgson to Andre Laronde....TY for any help that you can provide...Todd Manary

In Googling around I found three children of Catherine and Leandre (Andre) LARONDE:
1. 1824 Catherine LARONDE (m. Louis Abraham ROY)
2. 1828 Elizabeth Agnes LARONDE (m. Theodore LAROCHELLE)
3. 1830 JOHN LARONDE

Hello,

Could you be so kind as to provide me with the references (sources of information) for the period John Hodgson retired in the Chat Falls area. I am particularly interested in obtaining HBC file references and sources to legal documents pertaining to the purchase of his property.

Thank kindly in advance,

JPK

JPK: Details of John HODGSON’s retirement (dismissal) came from tht Appendix of his HBC Archives Bio. Here’s the link:

I believe Mike Dufour found the notary papers for the land transaction between John Hodgson & Duncan Cameron for approximately 1050 acres in Onslow for 1000 pounds; it was at the office of notary John Gerband Beek-sometimes misread as Beck (presumably in Montreal) on 11 Feb 1813.
I will try to attach first two pages to demonstrate the veracity of this information.

Well, that doesn't seem to work

Here is a loose synopsis of the transaction over 7 pages/parts:

part 2, Lot Numbers 6 & 7 in the 1st. Range of Lots,

and Southerly Quarter of Lot Number 6 in the 2nd. Range of Lots,

and Lot Number 7 in the same Range of Lots,

# (added in margin) and Lots Number * & ( in the 3rd. Range of Lots

in the said Township of Onslow,

1050 acres with the usual road allowances, etc.

part 3, all these lands acquired by Duncan Cameron from John Sayers

and notarized 17 Oct. 1809 in Montreal,

given over to John Hodgson with all the rights, etc

part 4, and his heirs forever from this day henceforth,

for 1000 pounds current money to John Sayer & his heirs,

first by paying 300 pounds before the signing of these papers,

then 6 annual payments of 100 pounds each,

and the 7th. & last payment

part 5, to be made 8 months after the 6 years,

with appropriate legal interest to be calculated from time to time as the payments are made.

And Duncan Cameron is released from previous obligations to John Sayer,

part 6, and Duncan Cameron transfers all rights regarding these lands to John Hodgson,

part 7, at the office of John Gerband, Montreal,

11 Feb 1813, signed by all three parties, and notary BEEK, as well as notary GRIFFIN.
