Locating Paul dit Livernois’s land in Montreal.
Per documented archives and Marcel Trudel map of 1663.
1659 May 12th, Paul Benoist obtained 2 arpents frontage on the river to a depth of 15 arpents, all situated between the lands of Pierre Picote de Belestre and that of Marie Pournin widow of Testard de Laforest.
According to the information and my calculations;
0.0586 kilometers = 1 arpents. Going west from Rue Iberville on Notre Dame E, in 1659 there was first;
Jacques Delaporte, who had 2 arpents wide.
Jean Valliquet who had the next 2 arpents.
Pierre Picote who had the next 2 arpents.
Then Paul Benoist with 2.
If you drive .4102 kilometers (410 meters) west from Iberville on Notre Dame that should put you in the middle of Paul’s land.
Below is a Mapquest link (Hopefully it works) that puts you on my proposed location. It looks like there is a Park there called Parc de la Promenade Bellerive on the south side of Notre Dame. Actually that would be 410 meters from Iberville which would but you past the park at the end of Rue Fullum at Rue Grant.
Obviously the question is how much land fill was done on this location? One wonders were the original shore line would have been. There is an interesting church on the corner of Fullum and Ste-Catherine not sure when it was founded.
