Philip Long is a courier for the

Today, we know that he moved his family on a few occasions between L'Islet and Quebec City.
By 1808, he and his family will be settled at the head of Lake Temiscouata by the
Postmaster General.

Quebec City on December 6, 1792. The ceremony was
officiated by David Francis of Mortmollin, rector, and
the witnesses were David Higginbotham (merchant), Andrew
Johnston (cooper) and Murdoch Mackenzie (cooper). This
church is the oldest Anglican church outside of the
British Isles, and was built on a piece of land donated
by the King of France to the Franciscan Order on May 8,
1681. The current church (built between 1800-1804) is
the second one on that land since the first was
destroyed by fire in 1796. (See Documents section for
