In 1813, Orimall was still in Ailleboust seignory, which was in Warwick (later Berthier) County, Quebec. There is an entry in the minutes kept by Barthelemy Joliette, a notary, dated February 6, 1813, describing Orimall (and also David Gibbs) as a farmer of Ailleboust seignory ("agriculteur de la seignurie d'Ailleboust, comte de Warwick"). This is in a book of which there are only snippet views on line, and one cannot see the entire entry, but it appears to memorialize a transaction in which Orimall ("Orrimill"), acting as agent for his father ("procureur de Joshua GIBBS, son pere"), was conveying an interest in land to David Gibbs, whose relation to Orimall and Joshua was not stated.
Further specifying the location, there is an entry in Brouchette, J.. A Topographical Description of the Province of Lower Canada (W. Faden 1815), p.236: "D'Aillebout D'Argenteuil (the seignory of), in the county of Warwick, is bounded in front by the Riviere L'Assomption, on the south-west by the township of Kildare, on the north-east by the seignory of De Ramzay, and in the rear by waste crown lands; a league and a half in front by four leagues in depth; was granted October 6th, 1736, to Sieur Jean D'Aillebout d'Argenteuil."
By 1832, Warwick County had become Berthier County (I am not sure whether the boundaries were the same). It is on the north side of the St. Lawrence, which fronts it, between Montreal and Trois-Rivieres, and contained several seignories.
