"Hull Township, Lower Canada / Quebec, was surveyed by Joseph Bouchette in 1802.  Land grants totalling 12,000 
acres in all parts of the township were allotted to eleven men - Philomen Wright Sr., 
his three sons Philomen Jr., Tiberius and Ruggles Wright, James McConnell, Luther Colton, 
Isaac Remic, Edmond Chamberlain, Harvey Parker and Daniel Wyman.  Encouraged by the prospect 
of inexpensive farm land, other settlers arrived soon after."
