Jesse Armstrong original claim of three lots totaling 500 acres in Quebec Province.

By October 18, 1802, Jesse Armstrong had transferred his three lots in Hawkesbury Twp., totaling 500 acres, to John Grant of Lachine.

Hawkesbury is a Franco-Ontarian city in Prescott-Russell Co., Eastern Ontario, Canada. The vast majority of its 10,550 inhabitants are francophone.

The Long-Sault Bridge links it to Grenville, Quebec to the north. This bridge, crossing Chenail Island, is the only inter-provincial bridge between Ontario and Quebec, east of Ottawa. Hawkesbury is about halfway between Ottawa and Montréal.

Lachine is now a Borough within the City of Montreal, on the island of Montreal in southwestern Quebec, Canada.

The Old Albany Jail, or in Dutch, "Stadt Haus."

During the Revolutionary era, the city hall housed the Albany Committee of Correspondence - an extra-legal body that served as the civilian arm of the crusade for American liberties and also governed the city between 1775 and 1778. For a time, prisoners of war and Tories joined common criminals in the basement of the Albany jail. Beginning in 1780 - and intermittently until 1797, the New York State government also held sessions in the Court Street.
