There are 30 + BRILL burials in the Duboyce Cemetery, West Bolton, Brome Co., Qc. Canada.
NOTE: Amongst the many, many Brills who are buried in the Duboyce Cemetery are my husbands very great grandparents: William Brill (b. 1777, d. 1854), and his wife, Eunice CHAPMAN Brill (b. abt. 1784, d. 1867). William and Eunice Brill migrated from Fishkill, Dutchess County, New York, to Canada.
According to the (online) book entitled: ''CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE HISTORY OF THE EASTERN TOWNSHIPS; A Work Containing An Account of the Early Settlement of St. Armand, Dunham, Sutton, Brome, Potton, and Bolton,'' (by C. Thomas), William Brill's older brother, John Brill, also migrated from New York to Bolton, Brome County, Quebec, Canada.
I do not know the identity of William and John Brill's parents.
I would be very interested in learning if the many other Brills who are also buried in the Duboyce Cemetery are in the extended family of our own Brills.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
Harrisville Township.
ALFRED SARGEANT, retired farmer; Post Office, Lodi [Medina County, Ohio]. Among the old residents of this township, who was born on British soil, is the above-named gentleman, whose birth occurred May 5, 1805, in the district of Montreal, in Shefford Co., Lower Canada. *His parents were Roswell and Phoebe (Allen) Sargeant, both of them born in Brattleboro, Vermont. To them were born nine children, Alfred, the third in order, and was reared to agricultural pursuits, afterward learning the carpenter's trade, which he worked at the greater portion of his life. March 3, 1830, he was married to Irene Brill, who was born April 23, 1807, at St. Armand, Lower Canada; daughter of W. and Eunice (Chapman) Brill, who were born in Dutchess Co., New York, at Fishkill, in the year 1777, and Connecticut, respectively. Mr. Sargeant, like many others, in order to better his condition, emigrated West, and cast his lot with the rugged frontiersmen who had preceded him, he reaching this State upward of fifty years ago, and, since 1838, he has been a resident of this township. His first purchase was 50 acres, for which he paid $8 per acre; afterward added to it until he now has 110 acres, situated in the north part of the township. Has now retired from active business, his farm being carried on by his son. Mr. Sargeant has been a man of good information, having been considerable of a reader and close observer. Eight children have been born to him, five of the number living, who are Elnathan S. Sargeant; Freedom E. Sargeant, now Mrs. John N. Ward; Harry A. Sargeant, in Iowa; Alfred A. Sargeant, and Irene A. Sargeant, Mrs. William Sayles. Politically, he is on the side of Republicanism and its principles.
