hi i am also looking for a Joseph vincent intrepid patriot of 1837 grandson to Francois Louis Vincent or Joseph Louis Vincent. he is thought to have fled to the states. his history of longueuil we came across the name Vincent. the one most often mentioned is Joseph Vincent, grandson of Francois, a captain of the militia who was of a fighting spirit. . there was a rebellion, in 1837, an ambush was organized, english soldiers were wounded, horses killed and prisoners freed. the head of the rebellion, Louis-Joseph Papineau, fled to the United States and Joseph Vincent also fled. Much later , he was recognized as the "intrepid patriot of 1837".
Other iminent Vincent's cited in the source are: Arthur Vincent, a councilor;Of course this is in Quebec, also check the lineage to settle in St. Urbain was the grandson of Francois and Catherine Clements. He was Seraphin. he had bought land in 1828 designated as numbher 12 of the second "concession" of Weilliamston from the seigneurie Anfield. This seigneurie is located southeast of the Turgeon River, in Quebec "concession". There is 3 to 4 generations of Seraphin, so if the dates seemed confusing it is. Also you might check in the Chauteauguay Area, there is a lot of Vincent that come from there. i also have a Joseph Louis vincent who married Marguerite Tessier's in 1738, there is no record of a boat with them on it. it says that he was a Huron Chief given name by Jesuit. his name was (stanislas)one of his son was name Seraphin (aka Stanislas Louis) who moved to Chateauguay Joseph Louis vincent is Francois grand-son.
hope this help, if you have any more question, let me know, as this can be quite confusing. Good Luck and let me know is you have any new news on this that could help me. also remember that being french, when records were done the middle name was put in as your first name, and your middle name was your real name, i know this cause everyone in my family have marie pretty much as a first name and the boys have joseph as theres.
