ABOUT THE PLACE
About Saint-Patrice-de-Sherrington
Saint-Patrice-de-Sherrington: A rural village in Montérégie, Saint-Patrice-de-Sherrington is known for its agricultural history and beautiful natural landscapes, offering a peaceful place to live and relax.
Sherrington, Old Township of
Prior to 1809, the area north of Hemmingford Township and west of the Seigniory of DeLéry was designated "Tract of Land under consideration for endowing a University". including the southernmost area that was granted to François Baby. The Belden Atlas 1881 called it Sherrington Seigniory but I have not seen any evidence of such a name in previous maps and related documents. It is shown on an 1831 map as sub-divided into concessions. The same map shows the Seigniories of St-Normand and St-James as McCallum's Property (Jas. McCallum owned those seigniories), so it is possible that the Sherrington area was granted to Mr. Baby in a similar manner. One document suggests that the Township included the area of the late granted Seigniories of St-James, St-George, St-Normand and Thwaite but this is debatable. It later became the Paroisse-de-St-Patrice-de-Sherrington.
