"The First Muirs of The Province of Quebec" is the first
professional research effort to identify all of the early Muir's
who arrived after the French and Indian War which ended in 1763.
Their origins and relationships are explored and parents identified
for the first time for some of them. Evidence is presented herein
that the Two Millers, James and William Muir, were brothers and
were possibly related to Adam and Archibald Muir. James and
William's Scottish origins were discovered as were their
siblings.
The Descendants of James Muir of Beloeil, Vercheres, Quebec, are
documented through five generations to include all descendants that
could be identified. Many of the spouses of these descendants and
their parents were also identified for the first time. Many
descendants migrated to Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut
and Massachusetts to work in the mills that were springing up in
the nineteenth century there.
The variation of French names which changed from record to
record as well as the French custom of "dit" names were major
challenges that had to be overcome in this research.
