Descendants of Moses Aldrich and Abigail Williams

Moses ALDRICH was the first known settler of Inverness Township, Megantic County, Quebec, arriving between 1816 and 1819. He settled on Lot 1, 3rd Range, known as the Belcher range. He was a descendant of George ALDRICH, who arrived in Massachusetts in 1631 from England. Descendants migrated to Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire and eventually spread throughout North America.

Paul Newman ALDRICH came with his father to Inverness Township from Vermont. He and his wife, Margaret MYNANN (probably not the correct spelling) were among a group from Inverness who travelled to Huron County, Ontario in 1854 when it was opened up to settlers. Several of their children migrated further west.
